If you’ve ever researched how “how to lucid dream” you’ll probably see the same steps: go to sleep, wake up, write down your dreams, repeat. But author Cryrena Lee knows that it’s much more than that.
The real first step to lucid dreaming is lucid living. That means being present while you’re awake, noticing your where your attention wanders, and cultivating awareness.
In a world full of noisy distractions and rampant AI, it’s no wonder that most people have trouble figuring out how to lucid dream, let alone remember their dreams. In this episode, Cyrena takes us on a journey, laying down the groundwork that makes lucid dreaming techniques successful.
To Cyrena, lucid dreaming is about much more than having nighttime adventures. Tune in to learn how lucid dreaming can be used to heal trauma, solve creative problems, work through insomnia and nightmares, and improve athletic performance. Cyrena reminds us that our dreams can change the world, one small lucid shift at a time.
