It must be difficult to stay asleep with such excitement
Yes. Very. I just had a series of lucid dreams last night!
haha You can induce a lucid dream, though it can be time consuming, tiring, and varying in effectiveness.
My Tips on Lucid Dreaming
-Think about it while in bed. By doing this, the thought of lucid dreaming will merge over into sleep and you can become aware of your dream state. Just by thinking about it, you help will it.
-While dreaming, close your mouth and plug your nose while breathing in. If you are dreaming, air will mysteriously fill your lungs. This will be a dream sign to you. It will raise your consciousness to the fact that you are dreaming. Bam. Lucid! (just stay calm)
-Most lucid dreaming comes in the last hours of sleep. Go to bed on time to ensure a full nights sleep.
-If you wake up in the morning, DON'T MOVE! This will sustain muscle paralysis and make falling back into deep sleep much easier. By doing this, your conscious mind will stay more awake once you enter back into the dream world. This means it will be easier to become lucid.
-Another reason to not move once you wake up is "dream recall." When you get up and move around, your temporary memory will fade away. By staying still and thinking about what you had just dreamed about, your dreams will come to the forefront of your mind.
-If a dream starts to fade, rub your hands together. It will bring color and vividness to your dream.
-When in a dream, if you wish to summon something, just say, "around this corner there will be ----" Go around the corner. If your mind over matter was strong enough, it will be there. Controlling dreams can be very difficult otherwise. Taking full power and control is VERY difficult.
-If you want to change location, look at your feet and spin in a circle. This usually works, but not always.
I am unsure of the social usefulness of lucid dreaming. All my lucid dreams are always sexual in nature. I really should explore more.
