How
to reach us at the Lucid Crossroads -
Although you don't need to have already had a lucid dream or astral projection
to reach us at the Crossroads, you do need to enter one of those states
to make the visit. If you need to learn how to lucid dream, go to the
quick guide page. After you learn to become
lucid it is important to use this site to load your mind up with the images
and descriptions of the "real" (dream) space of the Crossroads.

Watch
for lucid triggers ~ After
you read this paragraph your mind will remember that you are looking
out for hints, triggers in your dreams that will fire up your
brain and make you realise that:- one, you are dreaming and so
will become lucid; and two, you want to visit the Lucid Crossroads.
Look out for anything associated with the Crossroads, especially
doors, the desert, the colours blue and red, mirrors, Persian
carpets and materials like blue slate etc. A sign might be a physical
door or a blue person, or it could be symbols on a signpost or
painted on the floor, like the dreaming head that you can see
on the Crossroads reception desk.
|
For those lucid
dreamers with good control, the easiest way of getting to the Crossroads
is to simply transport there. For those not familiar with transporting,
close your eyes for a few seconds when lucid. Now imagine the sun
on your face, the blue sky and the image of the Crossroads space.
When you open your eyes you should have transported to the Crossroads.
Don't be too discouraged if this technique doesn't work first time,
it is harder than it sounds!

The
Crossroads badge
- These
badges will help the minds of those not able to transport by willpower
alone. Try reaching into your pocket or putting your hand behind
your back, open your hand and hopefully you'll have a small metallic
badge with the words ‘lucid crossroads’ etched on. Tap the badge
twice and in a blinding flash you'll transport right into the
Crossroads (these badges can also be found at the reception desk
at the Crossroads).

The
Dream Doors ~ The Crossroads has ten dream doors used
for accessing the lucid dream of your choice. They can work in
the opposite way as well, allowing you access to the Lucid Crossroads
from your dream. Walk up to a door in your lucid dream, pause
for a second and imagine the Lucid Crossroads bathed in sunshine
beyond. Open the door and you should be there. Go to the downloads
page for a way of making an image of your own house front
door open with a view of the Crossroads through it.

Lucid
travel ~ If you've already become lucid in your dream,
you could try and fly to us. Say you are in a local park, take
off from the park and fly high into the clouds so the ground is
obscured by cloud. Now look for a break in the clouds, and as
you come through the opening you'll start to see the Crossroads
appear.
|
The
air will be warm and the sun will be shining, this will be your
view as you swoop down to land.
|
|
|
Pool
and Mirror ~ The doors aren't the only openings into the
Crossroads lucid space. The Mirror and the central pool are both
used by lucid dreamers to leave their body and astral project,
and both can be used as entrances to the Crossroads.
|
|
The pool can
be found if you’re underwater. It won’t work in open water so
try to find a cave or enclosed reef and make for openings in the
roof that have light streaming through them.
|
|
|
This
is the view as you climb out of the pool. Water can sometimes
interfere with lucid vision but just wipe the water from your
eyes and you'll be able to see properly again.
|
Mirrors
make good portals for lucid dreamers and astral projectors. Many
people report very odd reflections of themselves (body distortions)
in mirrors, so don't be shocked by what you see. To use a mirror
to transport to the Crossroads, push one arm through the mirror
and feel for the warmth of the sun on your skin on the other side.
If you can feel that sun, step through and you'll be faced with
this view on the right.

The
Dojo Doors ~ finally there are the doors in the Lucid
Dojo. There are four doors in the North, East, South and West
walls. If you find yourself there you can walk upstairs into the
sun and to the Crossroads.
