1 Keep a dream journal. The first step to having a lucid dream, which is a dream where you know you’re dreaming and can control the events within, is to remember the dreams you typically have. Over the course of a few weeks, lay in bed every morning and replay your dreams. Then write down what you dreamed of the night before as soon as you get out of bed. This will help you recognize typical patterns in your dreams.[10] X Research source
- Also, make note of recurring themes or objects in your dreams. These can act as focal points in your dreams to help you become aware that you are dreaming.[11]
- Keep a notebook or journal right by your bed for the easiest access. This way, you won't have to go looking for somewhere to write your dreams down. The less distracted you are, the more you’ll remember.[12]
2 Notice the world around you (in your dreams and in reality). Become hyper-aware of the conscious world, so it’s easy to tell when you’re dreaming. Ask yourself throughout the day if you are awake or not. Notice how all your senses respond to various things around you.[13] X Expert Source Jennifer McVey, ChtSpiritual Director Expert Interview Find elements in your everyday life that are detailed and in clear focus that you can use as comparisons for your dream landscape.
- Try looking at the details on the back of your hand. These details will be fuzzier in dreams, which can help you realize the distinction between dreams and reality.
- Try to do practical things, such as turning off the lights or speaking. Do these actions feel normal or weirder than usual? If they feel off, you’re probably dreaming.[14]
3 Eliminate distractions as you lapse into sleep. Before bed, make sure you’re in a comfortable environment where you won't be disturbed. Lay down with your eyes closed and relax your body, letting all the ambient sounds and smells fade away. Think about the fact that you are awake and attempting to fall asleep. This will help you hold on to your conscious mind, even when you lapse into sleep and start dreaming.[15] X Research source
- You may not have lucid dreams right away. Just keep looking for your dream signs and logging your dreams. Eventually, you’ll recognize when you’re dreaming and become lucid.
- You may be pulled out of your first couple of lucid dreams as soon as you become aware. If this is the case, try looking at your hands in your dreams or spinning around in a circle. These things can help focus your senses and help you stay lucid in your dreams longer.
4 Conjure your crush in your dream. Once you've achieved lucid dreaming, you can manipulate the dream and bring your crush into the dream with you. While in your dream, visualize your crush right behind you or just around the corner. Once you've got a clear picture, turn around or go look around the bend to find them. You can also conjure a door and expect them to be behind the door. They should eventually be there when you open it.[16] X Research source
- If you do get your crush to show up, but they don't look quite right, you can manipulate the figure to change in your dream. Try saying something like: "This isn’t the version of Connell that I know. I am going to turn around and when I look back, you are going to be the best version of Connell that I can imagine."
