An obvious question is, “Can I learn lucid dreaming?”. The answer is quite simple: yes.

Often this allows the dreamer to then take control of the dream and determine what happens. This ability to have Lucid Dreams allows us to gain knowledge of what we experience when we are asleep.

The main prerequisite to learn lucid dreaming is above average dream recall. Although it may at first not seem like it, developing dream recall is fairly easy. Keeping record of your sleeping visions is a good way to dream recall and also help you to control them. You can do this by keeping a dream journal by your bedside or even a voice recorder.
