Hi, my name is Tim Post and I will be your lucid dream instructor during this online learning program. First of all, welcome to Lucidipedia's learning section. Nice of you to visit us. Whether you already have some experience with lucid dreaming or not, doesn't really matter here. We will start from the very beginning, covering all the basics and move up to the more advanced techniques along the way. I can see you haven't used Lucidipedia's DreamJournal yet to record dreams. Make sure you do have your own Lucidipedia account before we continue. Let's get started right away.

If you would like to continue learning on your iPod at night or during an upcoming holiday trip, feel free to download Lucidipedia's audiobooks of this complete learning section. Enjoy listening to Lucidipedia when you are on the road, at school or at night while falling asleep.
Keep in mind that this audiobook is outdated. Benefit from the latest learning material by visiting this learning section online. Happy listening.

This learning section covers the experiences and skills that I have been logging and archiving these past years. I can say that I have come a long way and am eager to share my experiences, thoughts of induction techniques and other necessary skills with you. Obviously, my advances in lucid dreaming could not be possible without me benefiting from the invaluable lucid dream research that is done by the Lucidity Institute. During this program I will occasionaly refer to this useful research.

So let's start with an overview first. Learning lucid dreaming consists of only three basic steps: (1) Recall dreams, (2) Discover dreamsigns and (3) Recognize dreams. You can see that these lessons are located on top in the submenu. Feel free to access them whenever you want. However, be sure to stick to the structure of this learning section if you are a novice lucid dreamer and don't have much lucid dream experience yet. To become a lucid dreamer, you'll need a clean fresh start and a reliable basis of knowledge, skills and other factors to rely on. It is also recommended for more experienced lucid dreamers who still have trouble inducing lucidity, to start from the very beginning and stick to the structure: Do not skip any learning content if you feel you haven't mastered it completely. Only move on if you are satisfied with the results you are making. There are three ingredients that are vital for lucid dreaming: practice, practice and practice.

As you can see on Lucidipedia's dynamic Lucidity Radar below, the tiny red dots represent lucid dreamers all over the world that are currently using Lucidipedia to learn lucid dreaming. Lucid dreaming has become a popular global phenomenon. That is why we feel the need for proper learning material is called for and is provided here at Lucidipedia.



Before you start learning lucid dreaming, take a look at some of the prerequisites of the program. How much time, desire and effort are you willing to invest to learn lucid dreaming? Your answers on these important questions influences the effectivity of the program itself and consequently your success in lucid dreaming. So be sure to consciously revalue your entry level if you would really like to become that expert lucid dreamer sometime in the near future.

Learning lucid dreaming takes about an average of four weeks practicing. At that time most people have experienced their first lucid dream. Truthfully, mastering an art in its essence always takes at least six years (regularly having three or more lucid dreams per night). Still, although the first lucid dream is experienced by many as an exhilarating experience, be sure to realize that this kind of lucid dream quality is not in any way comparable to the advanced lucid dreams in those following months: the real ones (more vivid, lasting longer, etc). It took me 7 days to induce my first lucid dream (by means of raw desire), and like 3 months to go beyond that. The official methods and techniques I discovered later on, really empowered my ability to become lucid in a way that is incomparable with my first lucid dream experiences. This takes a few years of practice. If you are willing to reach the same level, be ready to train hard.

Don't expect any special-fancy-self-created techniques about lucid dreaming here. All the so-called "THIS WILL WORK" and "100% guaranteed" tricks you'll find while browsing the internet are mostly invented by users who do not properly understand the original and official techniques the Lucidity Institute has designed. Or lack the willpower to fully employ them, of course. Trust me, they work. You only need some additional support to fully and properly integrate them into your own training, just as I needed this support at the time I was practicing lucid dreaming. Thus my aim for my learning program here at Lucidipedia sounds as follows: let's stick to the original scientifically researched methods and techniques (check out our Science page) and let me present you new ways to integrate and practice those in your everyday life.

You can use the lesson dependent side-menu to quickly access the 'learn more' items that are also stated at the end of each paragraph, as you might have noticed already. Although the main page of each segment of the program presents a minimalistic summary of these items, please feel free to access this supplemental 'learn more' information if you feel you need it. For more related information, visit the Library. If you feel you are ready, officially start your training by joining me at the next introduction section.
