You can lucid dream? Now what?

Dream Vision, Albrecht Dürer, 1525

Lucid dreaming is a frontier of consciousness that today’s Western society knows little about. Neither asleep or awake, lucid dreaming is a distinct state of consciousness 1, and filled with possibilities.

For people wanting to deepen their lucid dreaming practice, I recommend dream yoga. Rather than try to describe the practice myself (I am a novice), I will let I will let Geshe Tenzin Wangyal Rinpoche do the talking:

Here are some examples of things you can try while lucid dreaming:

  • To what extent can you control the environment? Can you change a building’s color? Height?
  • What degrees of freedom do you have? How high can you jump? Fly? How fast? Can you walk through glass? Walls?
  • What is your relationship to bad actors: can you turn them into friends? Can you vanquish them? If you can’t, can you take yourself away?
  • How long can you remain lucid?
  • Is your reason fully intact?
  • Meditate: sit, close your eyes, and just breathe. What happens?
  • If you feel the dream fading, ground yourself: touch things, spin around. Does the dream return?
  • Find a psychedelic mushroom in your dream. Eat it. What happens?
  • Can you leave your physical body? float above it? walk around your bedroom? Float through a window? Can you visit friends? Deceased loved ones?
  • Can you ask for teachers? Can you meet your spirit guide? Your Council?
  • Can you find the item a friend hid IRL for you to find?
  • Can you ask a question about the future and get an answer?
  • Can you and a friend share a lucid dream?
  • Can you visit other planets? other dimensions?

Dr. Clare Johnson has an extended discussion with David Jay Brown on his lucid dream experiences, including taking psychedelics within a lucid dream:
