I was impressed by the amount of useful-appearing information packed into this 2+ minute video. I thought some here might find it useful or interesting.

Nice short summary

Another thing worth mentioning that can becomes a big problem for some people is getting too excited that moment you realize your inside of a dream and finally lucid. This raises the heart rate, and can pull you out of REM sleep.. It really helps to just take some deep slow breathes and sort of pretend like its no big deal at first..sitting and meditating helps, and often leads to very bizarre visionary experiences in my mind, in a dream, in my mind..0_o lol

I didn't believe it at first, but if you feel yourself coming out of the dream just spin in place. It really works well..and somehow stabilizes the dream, 'solidifying' your dream self.

Yup! Meditation and lucid dreaming compliment each other extremely well. Training your attention is key to taking lucid dreaming to "higher" levels.




Interesting. I've always used the "spinning technique" to create new dream environments. I close my dream eyes and spin while focusing on "where" I want to go or what environment I want to be in...when I open my eyes, I'm there.

In my experience, one of the most useful techniques for stabilizing the dream if I feel it start to dissolve is to simply look at my dream hands and rub them together. I discovered this technique from Carlos Castaneda's books.
