Have you ever wondered why so few people have lucid dreams?If you think about it, most people have an intrinsic understanding of the concept of lucid dreams; even if they don't have first hand experience.
The idea is exciting and the process of learning how to lucid dream is not especially difficult.
It requires no special skills or expensive equipment.
Anybody who sleeps can learn, so why aren't more people having lucid dreams? It's not lack of information and it's certainly not lack of information diversity.
If you want to have lucid dreams you certainly can't argue that there just isn't enough information available.
Neither can you argue that you can't find an alternative induction technique if you're not seeing results with your first, second or even third attempts.
The reason more people are not having lucid dreams is really quite simple.
Most people who have experimented with lucid dreams will be familiar with the "reality check" technique.
Performing reality checks in order to recognize a dream is a proven, simple and effective lucid dream induction method.
Believe it or not though, most people get it all wrong.
Because reality checks are such a simple idea it's easy to miss the underlying intention.
Most people fail to achieve lucid dreams using this method because they don't understand what the technique is actually designed to do.
The point is not to simply schedule time to regularly ask yourself "am I dreaming?".
The point is to train yourself to pay more attention.
If you think about it, at the core of most lucid dream induction techniques there is a focus on developing the skill of paying attention.
This is because it's not a habit most people cultivate in their waking lives.
If you're like a lot of people you probably spend a lot more time than you probably realize lost in your own thoughts.
For most of your day the external world does not fully register with your conscious mind.
People, places, events and even whole conversations often take place without you being fully present in the moment.
It will take a long time to have lucid dreams using reality checks if you fail to grasp the simplicity of the technique, and this is where most people give up their quest to have lucid dreams:It's too difficult to remember to do reality checks because they are missing the the essential piece of the puzzle.
Pay attention.
Attention the single missing ingredient in most people's lucid dreaming cookbook.
Think about it.
Dream journal?Pay attention to what happened last night.
Wake-induced lucid dreams?Keep paying attention as you fall asleep.
Attention is the most important part of the process, and most people miss it completely! You can't trick yourself into having lucid dreams.
You simply have to learn to pay more attention to your world.
None of the induction techniques available will work unless you can do that.
The good news is that once you grasp that concept, just about any induction technique will work orders of magnitude better and you'll have lucid dreams much more quickly.
Good luck, goodnight and sweet lucid dreams!
