Lucid Dreaming Technique
I have a recurring lava dream. Now I know that I'm suppose to levitate when the lava surrounds me...but for some reason.. I have no faith in my ability and I decide to jump in rather than be burned slowly. We CAN alter our dreams and take control. Here is a method to try:

What is a Lucid Dream?
A lucid dream is a dream in which the dreamer is aware that they are dreaming. Lucid dreams are often as vivid as waking reality.
The M.I.L.D. technique was developed by Dr. Steven LaBerge at Stanford University and is copyrighted by The Lucidity Institute. This technique was devised while LaBerge was writting his doctoral dissertation on lucid dreaming. He needed to come up with a method of inducing lucid dreams in test subjects. After careful experimentation and assistance from his collegue Lunn Levitan, the M.I.L.D. technique was born. M.I.L.D. is an acronym for Mnemonic Induction of Lucid Dreams. There are four steps to this method.
Step One - Setup Dream Recall:
Program yourself to recall as much of your dreams as possible when you awaken from them.
Step Two - Focus Your Intent:
While returning to sleep, concentrate on your intention to remember to recognize you are dreaming. Repeat to yourself, "The next time I am dreaming, I will realize I am dreaming." Think about the words as you say them, don´t just repeat them meaninglessly. Focus your intent on this idea alone. If you find your mind wandering, clear your mind and continue to repeat the phrase.
Step Three - See Yourself Becoming Lucid:
As you continue to focus on your intention to remember to realize you are dreaming, imagine that you are back in the dream from which you just awoke, or another you have had recentlyi if you are just going to sleep or don´t remember a dream apon awakening. Visualize the dream from a first person perspective. This time, though, imagine that you realize you are dreaming. Look for a dream sign (something within the dream that sets it apart from waking reality.) When you see it say to yourself, "I am dreaming!" and continue with your visualization. Imagine that you then carry out the plans you have for your next lucid dream. (i.e. Flying, looking for a spirit guide, travelling to Mars, etc..)
Step Four - Repeat Until Your Intent is Set:
Repeat steps two and three until you either fall asleep or you feel confident that your intent is set. While you fade into sleep, if you find your mind wandering or thinking about anything else, repeat step two or three. The last thought on your mind before you enter sleep should be your intent to realize you are in a drean the next time you are dreaming.
