Answer 1

Many people report having experienced a lucid dream during their lives, often in childhood. Although lucid dreaming is a conditioned skill, achieving lucid dreams on a regular basis can be difficult and is uncommon, even with training. Despite this difficulty, techniques have been developed to achieve a lucid dreaming state intentionally.

There are some factors which can affect the ability to experience lucid dreams:

* Meditation, and involvement in consciousness focusing activities can strengthen the ability to experience lucid dreams.
* Children seem to have lucid dreams more easily than adults do. The ability to sleep appears to decrease when people get older.
* Hypnotism may help induce lucidity
* Induction techniques can help a great deal in becoming lucid.

Answer 2

Lucid dreaming is loads of fun and very safe. When you realize that you are dreaming, you are considered to be "lucid dreaming". At this point, you can take control over the dream and what happens. A good technique is the dream check. Frequently during the day (while awake) look at your hands and say "Am I dreaming?" You can set up some other trigger if you like, but make it consistent and do it every day. This way when you are dreaming and you see your dream check you will become lucid.
