When you know you are dreaming and you can control your dreams, then these are called lucid dreams. In this kind of a dream you know what you are doing or saying. You can even control your actions, words and even the person you want to be with.

Lucid dreams can range from a romance, intrigue and even a fantasy. You can have any kind of dream when you are lucid dreaming. And your imagination is the limit to what you experience!

The difference between normal dreaming and lucid dreaming is that you control lucid dreams, where normal dreams may wander randomly from subject to subject. You may even have to pinch yourself because they can seem so real versus normal dreams that may be strange, abstract and sometimes scary.

In a dream, certain things will not seem right, like reading words, or colors may not be pronounced. There are simple tests many people do to see if they are really are having a lucid dream or are in a state like sleep walking, for example.

Lucid dreams can be about someone you have a crush on or like. They can be about a person you can’t meet in real life but can date, romance and even marry in a lucid dream.

When you are dreaming and you know that you are dreaming all you need to do is change it. For instance you can dream about your favorite rock star falling in love with you and getting crazy about you. You can even choreograph your dream to the extent that your rock star talks to you, touches you and makes you feel loved. The only tool you need is your limitless imagination!

Because your body has a biological need to sleep, your mind can remain in a semi-conscious state while your body is resting, which is what makes lucid dreams physically possible.

Lucid dreaming is more easily accomplished by some people than others although it can be learned over a period of time if you can learn to control your mind and be more aware of your dreams.

Practice recalling what happened in your dreams and writing it down as soon as you awake, which makes it easier to remember. The dream will repeat its self at some point and you can add to it, if you do not recall parts of it, until you get a complete picture of the story that your sub-conscious is trying to tell you. Using this technique with lucid dreams can give you some insight to what the dreams are telling you or hidden ambitions.

Writers will often use this technique to line up their next novel, using some of the scenes and characters from the lucid dream as the basis for the storyline. Lucid dreaming is a good outlet to channel your ambitions to come up with an action plan to make them a reality.

You need to try and bring to mind all the minute details you can and then try falling asleep again. Most of the times you will be able to return to the point where you left your dream and carry on from there. These dreams repeat themselves and each time your recall will be sharper than the last.

When you awake ahead of your normal time is the prime time for lucid dreams, since you are not in a deep sleep, but in a semi-sleep state. While it might seem like you are awake and cognizant, you might be having a lucid dream.

Mastering lucid dreaming is surprisingly easy, and you can always use techniques that help you recall or prepare your mind to recall what your lucid dreams were about, if you put your mind to it.

The latest invention in sound technology is known as the binaural beats which are special frequencies. These can work at increasing the coordination between the two hemispheres and cause your brainwaves to match the frequency required for lucid dreaming. This is a great shortcut to enter the state of lucid dreams.
