After a few months of
practice, any healthy person can lucid dream on a regular basis.
Because lucid dreaming pushes the boundaries of knowledge in
neurology and psychology, it would be folly to try and recommend the
"best" way to make use of your lucid dreams. It is possible
to fly like a bird, converse with yourself, or significant characters
in your mind, to get answers to questions about your behavior or
motivations. Fully lucid dreams are good for rehearsing skills that
you have in the waking world, or trying out different solutions to
problems. Because time does not pass in the mind in the same way it
passes in the physical, waking world, it is possible to extend these
sessions far beyond what is normal during our conscious hours. There
are even claims about lucid dreamers who have experienced decades in
the course of a single night!
However you use it,
there are two things to remember about this advanced stage of lucid
dreaming. First, once regular lucid dreams have set in, your dreams
are likely to become lucid more often with time, not less. Second,
since all the events occur completely in your mind, there is no
possible danger to you. Enjoy your newfound freedom, and happy
dreaming!
