Lucid dream question. What makes dream spinning work?

Question

it just seems so odd.. I haven't tried it yet.

Also, does it really work? Anyone out there that has actually had a successful dream spinning experience that you'd like to share?

Answer 1

Try the below:

1. Throughout the day, while you are awake, ask yourself, "Is this a dream?" anytime something odd happens or even when nothing out of the ordinary happens. The trick is not to answer the question with an immediate "Of course I am not dreaming!".  Come up with a consistent way to check if you are awake or asleep. For example checking the time on a clock and then quickly check it again. If you are dreaming, the time will always dramatically change at the second glance. Or if you are reading something, look away and then read it again.

Again if you dreaming, when you look at it the second time, whatever you are reading will be completely different.  As you keep asking yourself this question during the day, the question will become second nature. You will ask the question during your dreams. And when you do your check to see if you are awake or asleep, you are well on your way to lucidity.

2. Identify your dream signals. These are objects or images in your dream that serve as cues or markers to let you know that you are dreaming.  Anything can be a dream signal and is unique to each individual dreamer.  It may help to read through your dream journal and select an images that seem to constantly appear in your dreams. By selecting a recurring image, then it has a better chance of appearing in your future dreams. Then when you are ready for bed, tell yourself that "When I see an apple, then I know I am dreaming." or whatever dream signal you have chosen.

3. Use your dream signs to let you know that you are dreaming.  When an anomaly or something impossible occurs in your dream, instead of ignoring it or trying to rationalize it, let it be an indicator that you are dreaming. Some common dream signs include flying, walking through walls or the appearance of someone who is dead in real life.  

4. Finally encourage your lucid dreams, but do not force them, as your efforts may have an opposite effect.  It is important to relax.

As you improve your lucid dreaming, you can even learn to "write" your own dream scripts.  Your sense of smell and touch will become heightened. Before going to bed tell yourself what you want to dream and what area you want to explore

Answer 2

I'm sorry, but I'm unfamiliar with the term Dream Spinning. I just know how to have a lucid dream and control it to my liking.

I have lucid dreams all the time. It's pretty cool. You can ward off most of your bad dreams by controlling them and you can also create interesting fantasies and experiences for yourself that can help you in your daily life.

I think the person above me answered how to have a lucid dream perfectly. It's all the same steps I have on my lucid dreaming website, which I based upon all my experiences. So, I would certainly take their advice. I listed my site below if you want more information.
