How to have a lucid dream - easily and simply.
This really is easily explained when you start with the Huna concept that all life is a dream – that you simply go from one waking moment to another, death being nothing but no longer waking to this shared one we have.
Of course, that means that you are going to need to take responsibility for creating all that you do in your dreams. Which can also be traced to another Huna principle, “The world is what you think it is.” And by knowing that you can control your thinking – that despite all media to the contrary, you are still in charge of this life you lead – this then gives you the complete opening you need to in terms of lucid dreaming.
You see, most people hold that a dream is something beyond them, something like a television show where it is turned on and off and you have really nothing to do with what you see there. And this is the historical way dreams have been treated. Something that simply exists “over there” instead of right in front of you.
But in these dreams, you do make choices. You do decide to act or not act, just like in “real life.” And so, if this logic holds, you are just as completely responsible for what happens in your dreams as right now. The more responsible you are in your dreams, the more control you have over what happens.
The first trick in learning to exert control in your dreams is to realize that you already have it.
Most people have the difficulty of having pushed aside these dreams for so long that they no longer are able to remember anything about them. However, several authors point out that if you simply rest for awhile once you wake up, it is simpler to recall the dream you just had. Practice makes this more possible.
And as you recall more and more dreams, you are then able to start analyzing your choices in these dreams and evaluate your own actions. This is being responsible.
What this does is to then extend your “waking” level of responsibility into your “dreams” and so now you are consciously able to make your own decisions within those dreams, based on the world you are living in and the data to hand within that dream world. A little practice at this finds you being just as responsible in your dreams – just as causative and able to make rational decisions – as you do in real life.
Again, the more you decide to take responsibility for changing the life you live in this “waking” world will then also start showing up in your “dream” worlds. And every dream becomes a lucid one.
Yes, it’s that simple. But only by practicing and trying it out for yourself can you prove that this is workable for you. And of course, it has a wide range of workability – but that’s our human nature.
Good luck with this.
