Dream Control - How To Dream Lucid

By Steve Higgins

Dream Control, or the ability to control your dreams is something that is crucially required or finds much importance in the subject of lucid dreaming. A lucid dreamer is that person who can successfully travel to the realm of dreams with full consciousness and a wakeful of mind. Thus, he only lets his body rest while his mind remains wakeful and focused and completely aware of its journey to the realm of dreams.

Which starts off as a mere awareness that one is dreaming, in advanced stages involves the power to change them as one desires. Thus, an expert lucid dreamer has absolute dream control where not only does he know that he is in the dream world but also changes and manipulates his dream settings in order to so, see, or feel whatever it is that he desires.

If you are a regular in the field of meditation then this rare phenomenon of lucid dreaming may be brought about, but only in its basics. Advanced lucid dreaming with full dream control can only be achieved with increased meditation, use of special techniques, a lot of focused effort and most of all practice and experience.

The problem faced in case of dream control is that of continuing the lucidity in the first place. One might be successful at minute changes at first, like that of changing the setting or scenes of your dream and the like, but when you want to gain more control and really manipulate your dream, it requires a considerable amount of force. Now, the problem lies in the fact that the more force you apply or the more frustrated and distressed you get over not being able to control you dreams as much as you would like to, you snap out of your dream and wake up.

Firstly, when you are in lucid dreaming and you find it hard to hold on to your dream scenes and feel them slipping away or rather fading away, the best technique to use would be dream spinning. A highly effective tool in case of dream control, this needs you to stand in a spot and spin around like a kid. After your spin stops, you would find the scenes or settings around you have gained much clarity. Dream Spinning can also be used for changing the dream setting completely.

The second technique for dream control is verbal commands. Whenever you find yourself loosing control, simply state whatever it is that you need, loudly. Many a times, you'll find that the required change in your dream has taken place.

Thirdly, creativity is also a tool for increased dream control. If you want to do something in your dream and are not being able to make that change, do not get frustrated but try to creatively make that happen. E.g. you want to see green trees all around you but you are not able to manifest it, try to think of it as a wall and start painting the trees instead, the setting will come in a flash.

Lastly, another issue that lucid dreamers need to deal with is that of false awakenings. This refers to seeing yourself waking up within your dream. In order to avoid this, the best thing to do would be to undergo a reality check whenever you find yourself waking up so that you know whether you are still dreaming or you have woken up in reality.

It can be concluded that success in dream control is all about being focused and comes with continuous practice. Having the right attitude and constantly believing that you are in control is crucial. Moreover, never get worked up or distressed and always remember that the techniques above will get you out of anything. If you have this right attitude, sincerely practice and indulge yourself into mind control exercises such as meditation, dream control would come as naturally as hand control to you.
