Reply #19: Coming and going is nice. You -can- make an effort to lucid dream, however

[Fire Walk With Me]

if you wish. All it takes is the will to have them, then the practice of being present without shattering it. Determine, truly determine, to have a flying dream, while lying in bed before you fall asleep. You can write it down in a journal at your bedside, each and every night. Use the red circle technique I mentioned in the Manifesting thread, to visualize the sentence (break it up into sections) "I WILL lucid dream/have a flying dream", which ever, within a fairly wide red circle, to lock it into your mind. Play with being aware of the hypnogogic state, and learn to slide into and out of it.

Being able to slide into and out of dreams is true practice. I haven't been able to wake and go back into a dream, although I am taught that it is possible.

You probably know these things and justifiably, don't care :)
