A Guide To Lucid Dream Induction
Here are my top lucid dreaming techniques for beginners. They range from simple memory exercises (like Reality Checks and Mnemonic Induction of Lucid Dreams) to specialized meditation (like Wake Induced Lucid Dreams and OBE Exits).
Quick tip: Select two or three dream exercises - then be loyal to them. You goal is to train your subconscious mind to follow new rules, so it may take a little time for these to become ingrained. Be patient and stay focused on your goal, and you will learn how to lucid dream. The first few can be the hardest but are very rewarding!

What to Expect from Lucid Dreaming Techniques
Some people discover how to lucid dream on their very first night. Others take longer; perhaps weeks or sometimes months. I can't predict how long it will take for you to have your first lucid dream - it's like asking how long will it take to learn the piano or become a good chess player. Some people take to it naturally, while others need to practice longer to achieve the same results.
