7 | Teach Yourself to Lucid Dream
Guidelines
Lucid dreaming is simply being conscious that you are dreaming.
Tibetan Buddhists have practised dream yoga for centuries and
there is a lot of literature behind the art and science of lucid
dreaming—we found the simplest methods outlined in a
post here on the 4HWW blog. It requires a lot of practise to
master lucid dreaming in the beginning, but once greater control
has been developed you can use your normal hours of REM
sleep to visit anywhere in the world.
Quit your 9-5 job to fly over the Egyptian pyramids on the back of
a giant eagle—check. Explore the depths of the ocean reefs
without an oxygen tank—check. Base jump from Mt. Everest with
Barack Obama—check. As with most things in life the only limits
are those imposed by your own imagination—have fun!
