Jim Kwik explains that lucid dreaming starts with recognizing you're dreaming. His method: ask yourself "Am I dreaming?" hundreds of times daily using phone alarms, elevators, or doorways as cues. The habit carries into your dreams, and the first yes triggers lucidity.
You're right, you could, you could meet anyone you want to meet, you could learn anything you want to learn, you could live out every single fantasy. Everything's in this, you know, in this matrix of your mind, right? Oh yeah. One of the techniques, and there are a number of them, is first of all just being aware, right? That's the hard part, is first of all most people aren't aware that they're dreaming. So what if you had a practice every single day to trigger yourself to ask yourself if you're dreaming? Even this inner talk that we have, what if you asked yourself 100 times a day, trained yourself, like put on your phone, have an alarm go off, or every single— or trigger every time you get an elevator or you walk through a doorway, ask, am I dreaming? Am I dreaming? Am I dreaming? Because what'll eventually happen when you're dreaming is you'll ask that question. And the first time the answer is yes, then you're lucid dreaming.
