I have a dream… In Martin Luther king’s speech “I have a dream”, Martin dreamed about ending racism in the United States. I don’t know what that dream is that you have. But here’s what I know, that that dream that you’re holding in your mind that it is possible.

All what you have to do is wake up after 6 hours of sleep right before the longest rem phase, set your alarm, and then you go back to sleep with the intention of having a lucid dream convince yourself that you will control your dream. Keep repeating in your mind that you will have a lucid dream, you will have a lucid dream. Wait until your inner-voice shuts off then you can imagine sinking into your pillow until your body is just about asleep and you will pass lucidly into the dream world. You will notice something is wrong like for example time isn’t moving forward and in dreams you always have that reoccurring image or a dejavu you always have a dream wearing this jacket or in your car or when its raining, your vision is much more vivid and colorful. Those are dream signs. Now that you’re sure you’re dreaming, remember that there are no social consequences, no judgments, you cannot get hurt. You can learn how to fly, walk on the ceiling, upside down. If
