If you're a writer, you've probably experienced instances where the novel you're writing has become dormant and difficult to complete. There are many reasons why this could happen, ranging from lack of motivation, confusion about how the story should develop, or even fear of criticism and rejection.

However, there is an interesting technique that may be able to help you finish your abandoned novel. This technique is called lucid dreaming, which is the ability to realize that you are dreaming and control the flow of the dream. By using this technique, you can utilize your dreams to finish your novel and even gain new inspiration for writing.

Here are some tips on how you can use the lucid dreaming technique to finish your abandoned novel:

1. Start by learning the lucid dreaming technique.

There are many resources out there that can help you get started, including books, articles and online forums. By learning lucid dreaming techniques, you can understand how to control your dream flow and utilize it for your purpose.

2. Create your intention.

Before you go to sleep, create an intention that you want to have lucid dreams and want to utilize them to finish your novel. This will help you focus and direct your mind towards the goal you want to achieve.

3. Pay attention to the signs in your dreams.

When you start dreaming, look for signs that you are dreaming. For example, try looking at your watch - if the numbers are random or changing, then you are dreaming. In a lucid dream, you will be aware that you are dreaming and can control what happens in the dream.

4. Use your dreams to finish your novel.

When you realize that you are dreaming, try to focus on your novel. Pay attention to how the story is developing and see if any new ideas come up. You can utilize your dreams to finish difficult scenes or even find solutions to plot problems.

5. Jot down all the ideas that come up.

Once you wake up from your dream, jot down all the ideas that come up. Don't worry if they seem strange or nonsensical - you can work on them later. The important thing is that the ideas can help you finish your novel.

In using lucid dreaming techniques to finish your abandoned novel, it is important to remember that it is not an instant solution. You may need to train yourself to become more aware as you dream and learn how to control your dream flow. However, if you are consistent and diligent in practicing lucid dreaming techniques, you may be able to achieve the ability to utilize your dreams productively.

Also, it is important not to rely on this technique as the only way to complete your novel. You still need to put in the time and effort to write when you are not dreaming, and remain consistent in making a writing schedule and completing assignments.

In conclusion, the lucid dreaming technique can be a useful tool for finishing an abandoned novel. By utilizing your dreams to find inspiration and complete the story, you can achieve your writing goals and gain satisfaction from finishing your project. Don't be afraid to try this technique and don't stop practicing until you feel comfortable controlling your dream flow and steering it in the direction you want. Happy writing!
