How Do You Start A Lucid Dream?

by Andrew Mattson
(Alaska)

I've only had one lucid dream in my life. It was really exciting, but here are some details about my dreams:


I rarely have bad dreams. But when I do, I can usually close my eyes in the dream and open my eyes in reality. That's about as lucid as my everyday dreams get. But one night, I had this dream.

So the dream starts with me in a circular clearing in the forest. it was night, and I could see glowing red eyes in the dark. I remember thinking "I can't scream and wake up Dad". So I kept myself together, and waited for the dogs to come out. I somehow got a sword, but I don't know how.

This is where it gets a bit gruesome, so readers discretion is advised. A dog jumped out of the forest and tried to bite my arm. I dodged to the right as he went to the left, and cut his ear.I heard a yelp, and it ran away. Then another dog ran out. It went for my sword, and knocked it way out of reach. The dog lunged at my head, and i grabbed its jaws. I forced the jaws outwards from each other (don't think I broke it), and the dog yelped, dropped to the ground and ran away. This is when I woke up.

If anyone reading this could tell me how to be a lucid dreamer, please do!

Thank you all!
