How does one dream lucidly? Control dream content?

Q: You know about “lucid dreaming” which is where you control your own dreams and stuff like that. Well, I am wondering how it is done? Does anybody have any tips as how to dream lucidly.

A: Budhists have been doing it for many years. If you practice meditation then you can learn to control your thoughts, which is basicly what lucid dreaming is. I think modern Western scholars say it is similar technique to self hypnosis. If you have not tried meditating a common technique is to slowly breath in and out in a comfortable position with eyes closed. Think about the breadth, count up to 10 the number of breadths and start again. Relax your body, free it of stress and tension, especially around the stomach, this is where healthy breadth should be if you are not tense not the chest. Eventually you can remove thoughts from your mind this way with regular practice. Next step is to control your thougths after doing this process. good luck.

Can you control the content and direction of your dreams?

Q: A lot of things have been said about dreams. What I am interested in is if they can be controlled by the dreamer. When I ask this question, I mean it literally; as in, I am aware that an individual’s mentality and current situation(s) in life, amongst other things, can affect what dreams they have, but I want to know if you can ACTUALLY control your dreams. In other words, is it possible to create a dream during your sleep that goes entirely (ok, almost entirely) as you’d like it?If more clarification is needed, let me know and I will try my best to respond in kind. Thanks in advance to all logical answers.

A: dreams cannot be totally controlled by the dreamer, how ever somethings in your dreams can be manipulated, i used to have a re-occuring nightmare about dinosaurs when i was a kid, every night same dream for about a year, eventually i figured out that while i was in my dream if eye closed my eyes really tightly then opened them i would wake up! don’t know why or how : so you can think, reason, and rationalize in dreams but its the unconsious side of your brain that stops you from “controlling” if just your logical side was in control you would rationalize that its just a dream and you wouldnt think of it as real its the uncontrolable aspect of a dream that makes it seem so life like.. hope this helps. and a really awesome question btw.
