The Lucid Dreaming Kit: A ReviewThe Lucid Dreaming Kit promises to teach you how to lucid dream in 7 days. Guaranteed. It also says you can induce conscious dreams on demand. The latter is a wonderful skill - one I'm sure all of us would like to have. And according to the kit's creator, Bradley Thompson, we almost do.
The result? Four lucid dreams in a week! My dream recall also shot up dramatically. With some effort, I was able to remember five dreams per night with memory techniques that I had never used before. So if you want to improve your dream recall and learn how to have lucid dreams, check out my full review. The Creator: Bradley ThompsonThe creator of the Lucid Dreaming Kit is Bradley Thompson, an established self-development author. He is best known for his work on subliminal CDs and binaural beats. He has also worked with many large corporate firms - like IBM, Toshiba, Merrill Lynch, Discovery Channel, Microsoft, and even the US Army - on the development of human potential.
The kit came about when he ran three week-long courses on lucid dreaming techniques in London. He knew that he could teach every single student how to lucid dream before the week was up. And he did. The students were delighted. The course was such a success that Bradley took it to his publisher, WCCL, and they gave him a big budget to turn it into an e-book. He also used the money to create a lucid dreaming CD and several other bonus features to accompany his comprehensive lucid dreaming guide. Lucid Dreaming Kit ContentsBradley Thompson's Lucid Dreaming Kit is made up of:
The Lucidity TechniquesBradley employs a lot of different lucidity techniques in his kit. There is no denying that you can probably find most of this information for free online. So the value in Bradley's kit is that it has all been pulled together in a comprehensive e-book, as an intensive introductory guide for beginners. This is also the only course or book in the world which guarantees to teach you how to lucid dream in 7 days or less. Many people agree that it is helped considerably by the Audio Stimulation CD which is unavailable anywhere else.
Day One - This is a basic introduction to lucid dreaming. It will get your subconscious mind ticking over the concept while you sleep. You will learn about REM stages and the best time for lucid dreams. You will also discover Bradley's four key methods for going lucid whenever you want. Day Two - Here you learn the importance of dream recall. You will start My Dream Log and discover a powerful method for remembering your dreams. This alone caused my dream recall to rocket overnight. You will also learn a neat tip to enhance the details of your dreams. Day Three - This is a morning read. By now you will probably remember multiple dreams in vivid detail and may even have had your first lucid dream. The next big tip is a well-known memory technique for becoming conscious in a dream. You will also launch the lucid dreaming software and learn how to prompt regular reality checks - throughout the day and night. Day Four - "Tonight," Bradley says, "you are going to experience a lucid dream!" The reason he is so confident is because of the Audio Stimulation CD, a critical part of the lucid dreaming kit. The CD uses triangular pulse modulation to help you remain consciously alert while your body falls asleep. If you listen to it with headphones, you will also benefit from the binaural beats which will enhance your ability to enter deep meditation.
Day Five - Bradley discusses how you can dramatically increase your chances of having lucid dreams, based on research done by Dr Stephen LaBerge. Bradley also explains how to deal with false awakenings, how to stay lucid, how to turn nightmares into lucid dreams, and how to control specific dream elements. Day Six - Bradley describes the most powerful of lucid dreaming techniques here, which induces hypnagogic images and sounds. With practice, you will be able to have lucid dreams on demand using this method. You are unlikely to master it on Day Six alone, but this method will stay with you for life. He also reveals two magic words which automatically increase lucidity in a dream. Again, it is possible to find this information online so don't expect groundbreaking new advice. Day Seven - The final day is an accumulation of everything you have learned. Bradley presents some interesting lucid dream accounts to get you inspired. Then he gives you a secret phrase to use within a lucid dream which causes him to magically appear - your own in-dream tech support! This is a play on the power of your own subconscious, and the use of imagination for creative problem solving. ConclusionAt the end of the course, if you have followed all the instructions, I think it is highly likely you will have had at least one lucid dream (and probably more). Most importantly, you will have an armory of lucid dreaming techniques and knowledge to use in future. Bradley summarizes these in his Cheat Sheet. This is a two-page list that you can use to quickly reference all the methods described in the Lucid Dreaming Kit.
If you are more advanced at lucid dreaming, then you will already know most of the techniques in this kit. You may learn a few new tricks but this wouldn't be good overall value for you. Instead, I recommend you continue to explore this website for free. So if you are keen to become a fast-track lucid dreamer, and want to learn all the basic induction techniques pronto - this is an ideal practical course. It delivers its promise of lucid dreams in 7 days and many will find that invaluable. To buy the complete guide and CD online, visit the Lucid Dreaming Kit website.
