Lucid dreaming is when you realise you're dreaming and can do anything you want... fly, travel through time or meet your spirit guides!

A lucid dream happens when you 'wake up' in a dream and realise you're dreaming. It's a wonderful feeling because you can then dream about anything you want. You can also do things like ask for your spirit guides to appear, then ask them questions and they can answer, and because you're lucid, you'll remember what they said the next day.

How do you become lucid? Here's our trusted Prediction trick. Draw the letter 'd' (for 'dreaming) somewhere on your hand in the morning. Then for the rest of the day, every time you look at it, say to yourself, "Am I dreaming?" Obviously the answer will be 'no.' But keep doing this throughout the day.

The idea is that when you do eventually go to sleep and have a dream that your mind will cast over the day's events and, because it was a break from your usual routine, will pick up on the hand-looking stuff, you'll remember asking yourself, "Am I dreaming?", but when you think of this question in your dream, you'll be able to say, "Yes, I am dreaming!". The realisation that you are dreaming, will actually wake you up a bit, hopefully, to enjoy a lucid dream.
