Lucid Dream Series: Some Techniques if You Want to Explore Lucid Dreaming

I don't share this post lightly. I feel that lucid dreaming is one of a few ways we explore our consciousness and spirituality. That can really change us fundamentally. If you are reading this chances are you are curious about what lucid dreaming is or have already had one and want to try to induce it again and explore it further.

I speak in detail about this in my work You're Not Crazy, It's Paranormal including some of the things that can spontaneously lead one to have lucid dreams. Even for those who claim they don't dream at all--which is impossible because you would not be functional without the dream phase of your sleep cycle. In this case it is likely you don't have dream recall. However, for various reasons someone can not only begin to remember their regular dreams suddenly but also dream very lucidly. 

What you will see below is some very simple information and techniques. However, there are many more strategies and techniques in inducing these amazing dream experiences. As with anything else, I highly recommend you do as much research as possible and find the technique, theory and style that most resonates with you.
