Confessions During Conscious Dreaming.
If you are aware you are dreaming while you are asleep, you are having lucid dreams. This is also referred to as conscious dreaming. Imagine you are in a dream and realize you are dreaming. When you are in this state, you can do just about anything you want in your dream.
Having complete power of control over your dreams may seem sci-fi or fantasy like and is readily possible for anyone to accomplish. It is quite easy to accomplish and offers you the ability to express your thoughts, feelings and desires in a tested method to get you to a state favorable to begin lucid dreaming.
What you want to achieve while in this dream state is necessary to know before hand. For example - do you want to meet the boy or girl of your dreams? Do you want to have an adventure in a country you are longing to visit? Regardless of what you want, you need to know how to achieve the state needed to become a conscious dreamer. Know your goal before hand.
After you define the reasons for wanting to learn to dream consciously, you can learn the steps to get your mind on the right level. You need to be in the right state of mind to be able to lucid dream. A good place to start is recalling your dreams. This means to remember any dreams you have had.
When you start to consciously dream, you have to recall the details of all the dreams you have, each night. One of the most common ways to do this is to keep a diary by your bedside table with a pen or pencil. Each morning, first thing, is to enter details of your dreams, all of the details that you can remember. The longer you wait to do this, the less you will remember. So this is of the up most importance, so the details are as accurate as they can be.
The more you write the better and soon you will remember more and more of your dream details and job them all down in your dream diary. You will also be able to use the dream diary to refresh your memory. Now your mind is primed to remember the details and will find that it’s an easy step to being aware you are dreaming. Often you may wake up, suddenly, from a dream and realize that it was a dream and not real.
In addition to a diary, there is also hypnosis, also a popular method. Hypnosis can help achieve the state of mentality needed to achieve conscious dreaming. It is used to help people remember things past or present that have been forgotten, even dream details. Now you will be ready for conscious dreaming.
Occasionally you may find you suddenly woke up from a lucid dream in the beginning and that’s very normal. Just recall as much of your dream events and fall back into sleep. Focus on those events and you will get back into your dream. You may even have control over your dream and bring it to whatever conclusion you want.
Another method which many find useful for inducing conscious dreaming is to wake up a few hours earlier than normal. Simply set your alarm about two hours early and then go back to bed after awakening. In these last few hours before you are accustomed to waking up, it is much more common to have lucid dreams. These dreams can be hard to tell from simply laying awake and daydreaming! This is a good way to begin conscious dreaming.
It may surprise you to know that lucid dreaming is good for curing insomnia and many other sleeping disorders. The process of learning to dream consciously also teaches you to banish unruly thoughts that are keeping you from falling asleep.
It does not take long to learn the art of consciously controlling your dreams. It will not take years of study and practice as some may think. Just take some time to practice and work at it and you will be a conscious dreamer in no time.
You may think that lucid dreaming will take years to master – however, it’s something you can do with relatively little practice!
All of us can have conscious dreaming experiences; and by using the techniques listed here, you’ll be able to get into the driver’s seat of your dreams quickly.
