How Do You Experience
Awake Dreaming?
Awake Dreaming or Conscious Dreaming is the art of being aware that one is
actually dreaming. In simple words, while in dream, you are aware that all
the events are not happening in fact, or 'It’s Just A Dream!' kind of
situation. There is certain amount of control you can exercise while Awake
dreaming, which is not the case in normal dreams.
The power of having complete control over the direction of your dreams is
something straight out of metaphysical existence. Suddenly, all the
limitations you ever felt in life just cease to exist.
Is Awake dreaming as straightforward as all that? Is Awake dreaming
something which can be experienced by anyone?
Awake dreaming is not so difficult to practice. There are various studies
that prove you can do this, if you really want to learn how to use this
powerful medium of expressing your inner desires.
However, you must determine clearly your objective for trying to master
the art of Awake dreaming. Do you simply want your own private getaway in
the form of Awake dreams or do you have a particular reason for developing
your skills? No matter your reason, you must have clarity of mind for its
purpose.
Once you understand your reason you will begin the learning process of how
to Awake dream. You will need to learn Dream Recall. This is the ability
to recall a dream from the previous night. You will not be able to Awake
dream until you can recall a dream.
This isn't going to happen overnight (if you'll forgive the pun). Many
find it helpful to keep a dream recall register, which is a sort of dream
diary. Here you'll write down each detail of your dreams which you can
remember. Do this each day. You'll find it easier the more you practice.
Also, start trying to become aware of your dreaming, to get your mind
trained to be alert in your dreams.
Some individuals have found that the time for preparing the subconscious
mind for experiencing Awake dreaming is reduced greatly by having
hypnosis. You have the ability to continually recall your dreams by having
one or two sessions, in most cases. Once this occurs your mind is then
conditioned for Awake dreaming.
On occasion, you may suddenly find yourself wide awake during a Awake
dream. However, you will easily be able to recall all the essential
details of your dream with the power you have achieved thus far. You can
simply relax and fall back asleep, while you continue in the desired
direction in your dream. Upon awaking you will realize that you have
experienced the power of conscious dreaming the previous night.
Another great way to have Awake dreams is to go back to sleep for a couple
of hours after you wake up in the morning. These dreams are the closest to
Awake dreams as they leave you wondering if they were actually dreams or
your thoughts manifested in the form of a purported event.
Simply set your alarm to sound off a couple of hours before you normally
awake. When your alarm goes off, wake up, switch it off and then go back
to sleep to enjoy your Awake dreams. Keep in mind that it is very helpful
to keep a record of your sleeping patterns to determine the best time for
you to have Awake dreams.
You can actually fight off sleeping disorders such as insomnia by Awake
dreaming. If you struggle for sleep during normal sleeping hours you can
tell your mind that sleeping equals Awake dreaming. You mind will take
care of your thoughts that might prevent you from going to sleep.
In the past it was it took quite a while to learn how to Awake dream,
however with the dawning of new sound technologies it is now much easier
than ever before for anyone to enjoy the experience of Awake dreaming.
Listening to binaural audios is one of the most reliable and fastest ways
to have Awake dreams for many individuals.
Binaural audios work by playing various degrees of frequencies into each
ear. The results are deeply relaxing for the listener and then shifting
their brain waves to the same frequency for having Awake dreams.
Before this time the only way for you to learn how to Awake dream was to
make use of meditation techniques that took several years to master with
firmness and strength of mind power. However, many individuals felt it to
be too difficult to continue, before this new technology became available.
By listening to binaural sound waves, particular when combined with
hypnosis to prepare the subconscious mind, it is possible for you to
experience Awake dreaming very soon after your first attempt.
Important Things About
Awake Dreaming
Very simply put, a dream in which you are conscious that you are dreaming
is known as Awake Dreaming. The expression 'lucid' in this context means
aware or conscious. But the extent of your 'lucidity' can vary according
to how ‘stable’ the dream experience itself is, how much you manage to
remember about the dream when you wake up, and also how much influence you
have in taking control of the dream itself.
It is this last factor which is the most remarkable and amazing thing
about experiencing Awake Dreaming. Being able to identify the fact that
you are having a dream is astounding. You can decide which direction you
want the dream to go in and there really are no limits to what experiences
you can have!
Just think about this for a moment. Awake Dreaming is like reality in
every aspect; you can se, feel and use all of your senses, but with the
knowledge that you are perfectly safe and can do literally anything you
want. Awake Dreaming is a virtual reality experience far beyond the
capabilities of any computer technologies to produce.
There is an increasing number of people who are trying out the
possibilities of Awake Dreaming for themselves. Most of us have Awake
Dreaming at some point or another; but just think how amazing it would be
if you were able to Awake Dreaming any time you wanted!
Awake Dreaming can be a doorway to some amazing experiences! Meeting and
interacting with your favorite celebrity, having untamed erotic fantasies,
taking a trip to distant planets, visiting fantasy worlds and touring
them, conversing with a lost loved one, in fact anything at all; there are
no limits to your imagination!
Being able to Awake Dreaming whenever you want is an ability which people
once had to spend a very long time to learn. People would spend months and
months in training before they had their very first Awake Dreaming. Some
people found that no matter how hard they tried, they were never able to
have Awake Dreaming.
So are there any simple ways of experiencing
Awake Dreaming?
There are those who claim that the odds of having Awake Dreaming will be
increased by having certain foods close to bedtime. Some of these foods
are orange juice, milk, cheese and mustard.
Some other people have noted that pickles, ice cream, popcorn, and even
fish have assisted them. These may not be as effective in aiding Awake
Dreaming occurrences. The idea that some people claim is that these foods
containing high sugar, high fat, and even high acid content, prepare your
brain for the session. They even claim that they prepare your brain to
recall the Awake Dreaming afterwards. The main issue is that these foods
hamper the body and minds ability to produce restful sleep.
Assistant Technology
There are new technologies which can assist you in having Awake Dreaming.
There are sleep masks and eyeshades which turn on LEDs when REM sleep is
detected; the idea is that the red light of the LED will let dreamers know
that they are dreaming; this is the first step to taking control of the
dream.
Even more exciting devices are coming to the market. One of these is a
piece of sound wave technology. This has opened up a new realm for those
whom desire Awake Dreaming. The process involves playing a different sound
wave in each ear. This process is known as binaural beats.
Binaural frequencies can synchronize the hemispheres of the brain; as you
listen, your mind reaches the state of REM sleep; which is necessary fro
Awake Dreaming to occur.
If you have always wanted to experience Awake Dreaming for yourself,
binaural sound presents the quickest and easiest way to begin.
