​ Mastering lucid dreaming step by step 

   ​By Yeseo Won St Johnsbury Academy Jeju

       You fly into the sky higher and higher.As you go higher you see beautiful pink

clouds made out of cotton candy. You quickly lift up one big cotton candy cloud. 

The sweet smell fills in your body. You feel like you have to take a bite of delicious looking cloud. 

This is a dream I want. And I believe you have a dream that you want. 

Whether it is realistic or mystical, the question is, ‘Is it possible to dream about what you want?’

Yes, when you dream about what you want  is called lucid dreaming.

If you are interested in it, there are 4 steps you can follow to succeed in lucid dreaming. 

      Step 1: Create a dream journal. In the morning when you wake up, you should write down everything you 

remember about your dream. Keep repeating on writing your dream whenever you had a dream.

This step will help you identify dream signs such as characters that you interact with, or

a place you are often.

Step 2: Throughout the day, you frequently have reality checks like asking yourself if you are dreaming,

or looking at the clock, and your hands. Because in your dream, you might have an extra finger, and the 

clock might not have numbers on it.

Step 3: When you lie on bed getting ready to go to dreamland, think about the dream that you want to have.

Try to imagine your dream. Make the dream vivid by thinking of what might be something you can see, 

smell, taste, feel, and touch in your dream. As you fall asleep thinking about your dream, you would probably 

have a high chance of being in your dream.

 Step 4: Enjoy yourself! Do anything you wish to do. Since you are in a dream you would be able to do anything

you want. Remember to look at your clock and hands to realize you are actually in a dream, so you can enjoy

yourself while dreaming.

   Tonight, when you are getting ready to sleep, follow these steps carefully to succeed in lucid dreaming. I bet lucid dreaming is a very fun thing to try. If you succeed you might have a fun time sleeping for the rest of your life.
