Lucid dreams of course are dreams that seem very, very more realistic than ordinary dreams, and in which one is consciously aware that they are dreaming. The more experienced one becomes at lucid dreaming, the better they can control it. Experienced lucid dreamers can make their dreams extremely realistic. Once you are able to control your dreams, you can of course ask to be taken back to a past life (if you believe in them) or event, current event, or future event. You can use lucid dreaming to help overcome your fears. Allow yourself to face your fears in a lucid dream. It's all your choice. The limit goes beyond the sky, it even goes beyond dreams. Some people are natural lucid dreamers, and some have to learn how through practice. As a natural lucid dreamer myself, I can't guarantee that my technique will help everyone learn, but I can give you an idea about how it can be done.

Firstly, every night before you go to bed close your eyes and say out loud "I WILL REMEMBER MY DREAMS. SOON I WILL BE ABLE TO CONTROL THEM". Then when you wake up the next morning the very first thing you should do is write down in your diary every single thing you remember about your dreams.. If you can't remember anything, don't be discouraged, you will eventually. Just remember a little bit at a time and after awhile you will start remembering more and more. You don't have to keep a dream diary forever, just until you start getting the hang of having lucid dreams. The more you can remember and analyze about your dreams, the better you can control them in the future.

One trick to do; and this is how I've had lucid dreams all my life, is wait until your day off when you can sleep in and don't have to do anything. Get a sleeping pattern down for 4 or 5 days and wake up the same time every morning. Then one morning, go to bed a couple hours later than usual, but set your alarm to wake you up at the same time as the prior mornings. It can just be for a few minutes and you can get a drink or watch tv or check email or something. Do this for about 15-20 minutes and then go back to bed and lie down on your back. MAKE SURE YOU STAY ON YOUR BACK! Start pretending that you're doing whatever it is you wish to lucid dream about, imagine you're with the people you want to be with. Try to make whatever you're imagining as clear as possible. Hear, feel, and even visualize that you're smelling something.. MAKE SURE YOU STAY ON YOUR BACK THE WHOLE TIME! Whenever you drift off to sleep hopefully you'll start dreaming of the things you were imagining about. When you're getting close to a lucid dream you'll start vibrating or pulsating a bit and you'll start hearing a buzzing noise.

Don't panic if you find that you're half asleep/half awake and can't move. It's a condition called sleep paralysis. If you panic it'll only make things worse and you'll start having a nightmare and you'll hallucinate that there's something (or someone) bad in the room with you. I don't know why this happens, but it can be scary if you don't stay calm. This is the down side to having strange dreaming experiences. I unfortunately first experienced this when I was only 6 or 7 years old. I "woke up" one night in my room and there was a man at the end of my bed pointing a gun at me. It was as clear and real as could be. Imagine a little girl "waking up" and seeing that. I wanted to run to my daddy but I couldn't move, thanks to the paralysis. Finally he "disappeared" and I woke up. My daddy of course told me it was just a dream and tried to make me feel better, but I spent years afterwards wondering if it was a ghost I saw that night. It wasn't until I got a computer later in life and learned that it was a condition called "sleep paralysis".
