How Affirmations Can Support Lucid Dreaming
Affirmations are simply positive statements repeated before sleep. Many people use them as a way to focus their attention on a specific intention.
When it comes to lucid dreaming, the goal isn’t to force an experience. Instead, affirmations can serve as a gentle reminder that you’d like to be more aware of your dreams and more likely to remember them when you wake.
If you’re new to affirmations, start with our complete guide to affirmations. You’ll learn how they work, how to use them, and simple ways to make them part of your daily self-care routine.
