entered their dream and consciously knows it’s just a dream.

through your previous recorded dreams before bed helps build a sence of

taking a quick nap after you have gotten up from a long sleep. Randomly
interfering with your sleep schedule usually increases Lucid dreaming as well.

Conscious Mind Awareness:
The most important step is training your “Conscious
Mind”. You want to start by becoming more aware of your daily surroundings and
the objects around them. The items in your walking life that you would usually
over look now has to be taken into account.
Anything from stop signs to billboard ads have to observed and taken
note. You must observe the colour the shape and what it means. The reason is
when you dream about an object that you analyzed in detail in your walking life
you can apply it to your dream to see what is real and what is not. Once you
can convince your mind that its just a dream the fun starts. Stretching your
awareness in your day will help you gain more control of your dreams. You don’t
need to keep focus on every single detail in your life because it would drive
you mad. Just start with a couple of small observations a day that you would
normally never look at in detail.
