HOW DO WE CONTROL OUR

DREAMS?

LUCID DREAMING IS WHERE THE DREAMER IS AWARE AND INCONTROL

OF HIS/HER DREAM

LUCID DREAMING IS A VERY RARE OCCURANCE, SOME PEOPLE ONLY

HAVE 1 LUCID DREAM IN THEIR WHOLE LIFE.

BEING ABLE TO CHANGE DREAMS CAN HAVE A HUGE IMPACT ON

YOUR GOALS IN LIFE.

WHEN YOU HIT A ROUGH PATCH IN LIFE YOUR DREAMS CAN BE

OPPOSITE OF WHAT YOU ARE WORRYING ABOUT

USING THE R.I.S.C. METHOD CAN HELP YOU REWRITE YOUR DREAM.

RECOGNIZE: WHEN YOU ARE HAVING A BAD DREAM. YOU NEED TO BECOME AWARE WHILE DREAMING THAT THE DREAM ISN’T GOING WELL.

IDENTIFY: WHAT IN THE DREAM MAKES YOU FEEL BAD. LOCATE THE THING THAT MAKES YOU FEEL BAD.

STOP: ANY BAD DREAM. YOU ARE IN CHARGE. BEING ABLE TO RECOGNIZE WHEN A BAD

DREAM IS IN HAPPENING IS ALL IT TAKES STOP DREAMS.

CHANGE: BAD DREAM INTO POSITIVE. YOU MAY NEED TO WAKE UP AND THINK OF A NEW ENDING. WITH PRACTICE, YOU WILL

BE ABLE TO INSTRUCT YOURSELF TO CHANGE THE ACTION WHILE ASLEEP.

THERE ARE ALSO OTHER METHODS OF HAVING LUCID

DREAMS.

TO GET LUCID DREAMS, YOU MUST GET 7-8 HOURS OF SLEEP

NIGHTLY

YOU SHOULD ALWAYS KEEP A DREAM JOURNAL, THE DREAM JOURNAL HELPS YOUR CONSCIOUS MIND BE MORE AWAKE

DURING SLEEP

DO A REALITY CHECK(ASK YOURSELF IF YOU’RE DREAMING) EVERY HOUR OR

WHEN SOMETHING HAPPEN THAT MAKES YOU QUESTION IF YOU ARE DREAMING

IMAGINE WHAT YOU WILL DO ONCE YOU START TO LUCID DREAM, TRY TO

IMAGINE IT VIVIDLY AS YOU GO TO SLEEP

DON’T DO DRUGS OR DRINK BECAUSE THIS CAN CAUSE YOU NOT TO HAVE LUCID DREAMS
