Ever tried swimming through honey? Or slowing time down so you can practise a kick with great precision and focus? Or doing ‘impossible’ yoga poses? These are just a few of the amazing things athletes have done in their lucid dreams. And the best thing about it? When...
Time, space and physics in lucid dreams
In lucid dreams, time can be slowed down or speeded up. Lucid dreamers can float and fly. The laws of time and physics which apply to waking reality do not apply in the lucid dream world. Lucid dreamers also report entering wormholes, spiralling through dots of light,...
Lucid dream figures
Dream figures are just figments of the imagination, right? So it doesn’t matter how we treat them, and what they say is of no real interest. But is this really the case? It’s not that simple. Any experienced lucid dreamer will be able to tell you of a few (and usually...
The lucid dream body
How does it feel to be in the lucid dream body? I’m flying now, zooming up to slip and glide on the air currents which send warmth through me. I tingle from the hair roots to the tips of my toes. It’s effortless: pure freedom and lightness. I can see the stars and...
How to stay lucid
Never had I felt so absolutely well, so clear-brained, so divinely powerful, so inexpressibly free! The sensation was exquisite beyond words; but it lasted only a few moments, and I awoke. (Oliver Fox’s first lucid dream.) Why, after finally getting lucid in a...

Lucid dream sex: pros and cons
If you ask the average lucid dreamer what they like to do best in their lucid dreams, two answers are by far the most popular. One is flying, the other is sex. Lucid dream sex can feel as real as waking life sex. Most lucid dreams take place in REM sleep and genital...
Learn to guide your dreams
Once you’ve learned how to get lucid and how to stay lucid, the next step for most people is learning to explore and guide the dream. Lucid dreaming is not all about ‘control’ – each dreamer can decide for themselves how much or how little they want to guide the...
From trauma to healing through lucid dreaming
The use of lucid dreaming in psychological healing is established: there have been many different trials and experiments on resolving nightmares and the integration of lucid dreaming into PTSD therapies. But how do we go about overcoming traumas through lucid...
Transform nightmares
Everyone in the world has had a nightmare. We all know just how unpleasant they can be – we wake up screaming, or bathed in sweat. It may take us some time to fully realise that the mad axe-man who just hacked his way into the bedroom was in fact not ‘real’ in the...
