Hey guys
One of my favorite authors, Tim Ferris, blogged about lucid dreaming. Until recently, I wasn’t even aware that he’s into lucid dreaming. Most importantly, he offers scientific insight and really cool training methods. So check it out:
The Beginner’s Guide To Lucid Dreaming
by Tim Ferriss
From 1994–1995 I had the great pleasure of training with wrestling legend John Smith, 2-time gold medalist and 4-time world champion (domestic freestyle record of 80–0; international freestyle record of 100–5).
He was famous for his low leg attacks that made even Olympic finals look like textbook demonstrations.

The problem was, of course, that I was in New Hampshire at boarding school and had never met John Smith. I only trained with him 45–60 minutes per night while I was lucid dreaming. I went on to have my best career season, which culminated with a more than 20–0 record before the national championships…
I’ve since used lucid dreaming to:
- Accelerate skill acquisition (example: yabusame)
- Reactivate “forgotten” languages in less time
- Cultivate zen-like present-state awareness and decrease needless stress
