How to Master Lucid Dreaming Tips
Here are three suggestions that relate to the process of how to learn to master lucid dreaming. In some ways these suggestions are simple, but they may help whether you are a beginner or have already had some success. So here goes:
1. Double or triple the number of times you do reality checks during the day, asking yourself “am I dreaming”. This is of course the most basic and simple yet effective lucid dreaming technique there is. And the payoff as far as more frequent lucidity is often related to the amount of times it is used. So resolve to increase the number of times you check in, the result could be that you check in during an actual dream – a suddenly lucid dream – more frequently as well.
2. Try new lucid dreaming techniques no matter what your success with the techniques you use now. In particular, look into dream-induced techniques if you use wake-induced techniques now. Or use a different induction techniques such as music or binaural beats. The more techniques you are good at, the more likely you are to avoid dips or plateaus in your journey.
3. Spread the word about lucid dreaming to friends and family who you feel will be open to it and maybe even who want to learn how to master lucid dreaming themselves. Having a network of people who will all provide each other motivation and support can help especially when you enter a rut. And just think about how wonderful it will be to help someone else learn how to have lucidity. It will be mutually beneficial and quite motivating.

How to Master Lucid Dreaming by Avoiding Mistakes
There are several mistakes many people make when they are first learning how to master lucid dreaming. None of these mistakes usually last long, since most realize their error and correct it. Our goal is to give some advice here so that the lucid dreamer does not make these mistakes in the first place! Here are three of the most common mistakes people make when first learning how to master lucid dreaming:
1. Do not try to be too active in your lucid dreams at first – too much excitement and you might wake up. Trade the fact that your dreams will be longer and maybe more vivid for the fact that you will be more passive. Unfortunately we are programmed to wake up when we have too much excitement and adrenaline – a good thing if there is an external emergency, but a bad thing if the reason for the excitement is a really cool lucid dream. This takes practice.
2. Don’t stop using your dream journal after you start having success at learning how to master lucid dreaming! Many people believe that since they are having lucidity they no longer need their dream journal, but in time you will start to forget more dreams this way. It may take time, but what can happen is that during periods where you have fewer opportunities for dream control you will find yourself remembering less and less of your dreams.
3. Be creative with your techniques: Learning how to master lucid dreaming takes practice, and learning dream control requires a variety of techniques. Even when something works well, perhaps there is another how to technique that would work better or produce a different result.
By following these suggestions and avoiding those missteps you can truly learn the art of dream control, and make each night a fun and exciting adventure. Stay with it and look forward to your success. Your efforts will be well worth it.
