Important Things To Understand About Lucid Dreaming.
Saturday, October 31st, 2009Conscious Dreaming is what is also known as Lucid Dreaming. When you are lucid dreaming, you are consciously aware of what you are dreaming about, even though your mind is within the dream. So, to put it more simply, when you are lucid dreaming, you are perfectly aware that you’re dreaming even as you are within the dream. So, unlike the usual dream, you are aware that you’re dreaming even as events in the dream are unfolding around you, which means that you can control those events.
This is nothing short of the metaphysical. Your limitations are lifted; you can do the “impossible”.
But is it as simple as it looks like? Can everyone experience lucid dreaming and bring to life what otherwise seems difficult or impossible in this reality?
In fact, lucid dreaming is not too difficult an ask. If you are determined to learn this powerful medium of expressing your inner desires, there are tried and tested ways of achieving this.
Foremost, you must be absolutely clear about your objective in trying to master the art of lucid dreaming. Do you just want to have your own private playground in the form of lucid dreams, or there is some specific reason for developing this skill? Whatever may be the reason, it should be crystal clear in your mind.
Then starts the actual process of learning this art. Firstly, you need to learn a process, called Dream Recall, i.e., recalling a dream you had the previous night. Unless you remember a dream, you can�t achieve the stage of lucid dreaming.
The process is slow, but it can be achieved by maintaining a Dream Recall Register in which you enter as many details as you can remember about your dreams daily. Slowly but surely, you�ll realize that you can remember even the most vivid details of your dreams. Periodic reality checks during the course of dreaming will train your mind to be aware in dreams.
Many people have found that hypnosis can drastically reduce the time needed to prepare your subconscious mind to experience lucid dreaming. Often just one of two hypnosis sessions will allow you to consistently remember all of your dreams. Once this occurs your mind is then conditioned for lucid dreaming.
When you begin lucid dreaming, you might suddenly wake up from a dream. But you’ll be able to remember the dream you were having in vivid detail. Just relax and fall back asleep, and you’ll be able to go back to the same dream and continue on with it. When you wake up in the morning, you�ll realize then that you have the the authentic power of conscious dreaming
Just set an alarm clock to go off two or three hours before you are going to get up. When the alarm goes off, wake up and turn it off; then go back to sleep, and sink down deep into detailed lucid dreams. So, keep in mind that it’s a great tool to know your sleeping patterns. By knowing these, you are best able to know your best times to sink down into lucid dreams.
You may realize now that it�s extremely helpful to keep track of your sleeping patterns so you may find the best times to have lucid dreams.
It’s always been hard, however, to actually take the time to prepare the mind for lucid dreaming. But recent advances in sonic technology have made it all more egalitarian.
Recent advances in sound technologies have made it much faster and easier for one to learn lucid dreaming.
Many people are finding that the most reliable and certainly quickest way, of having a lucid dream is by listening to binaural audios.
A slightly different sound frequency is played in each ear, which soon brings you to a state of complete relaxation. This resonates your brainwaves to the same frequency which allows lucid dreaming to occur.
Before the discovery of this system of binaural sound waves you could only achieve this level of relaxation by many years of meditation study.
If you combine listening to binaural sound waves, hypnosis and affirmations to prepare the subconscious mind, lucid dreaming can happen very soon after your first attempt.
