Have you heard the latest song by Franz Ferdinand called ‘Lucid Dreams’? Pretty cool! And here’s the Lucid Dreams lyrics: Sweep slides on my stereo Short wave ’round my rodeo Became from that of Savalon But I’m flying to Istanbul Oh so why don’t you meet me there? There is no nation of you There is no nation of me Our only nation lives in Lucid Dreams Lucid Dreams I’m living in lucid dreams I’m living on short based dreams tonight I’ll dial Alexandria If you dial into Ithaca South fisher, German bite I skate on the world tonight Oh

It should really be emphasized that there is quite a difference between the realism of normal dreams and lucid dreams. Many people assume that because their normal dreams are often vague, dim, cryptic, even unpleasant, or otherwise just ‘unreal’ seeming, that lucid dreams are equally as ‘unreal’. This is definitely the wrong conclusion to jump to, and yet how many people dismiss dreaming practices as a result on the basis they are ‘just dreams’? Fully lucid dreams are as real as waking life.

Or are you choosing to be aware of the choices you’re making to create that life how you choose? Lucid dreams aren’t just for fun or entertainment (even though they’re some of the most fun you’ll even have!) They have many practical applications, and they are also a

The *MOST* important skill you need to have a Lucid Dream is Dream Recall. Why? Simple. Lucidity means awareness, and dream recall *directly* improves your dream awareness. So if you want a head start on having Lucid Dreams, the first thing you should do – and keep doing – is start remembering and writing down your dreams as soon as possible. It’s not really about training to remember Lucid Dreams – honesty, most are pretty unforgettable! – it’s about using your memory to build a bridge between your waking and dreaming selves. You also aquaint yourself far better with the
