Conscious Dreaming Facts and Figures
Wouldn’t it be nice to dream whatever you want and control the events in this dream world? It is a very simple thing to do and anyone can learn it. It is a great tool for playing out feelings and desires that otherwise would remain hidden in the subconscious mind. You can follow simple methods already being used by others for lucid dreaming.
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.
You need to know what you would like to do in order to achieve this state. Would you like to do something new, something you’ve never tried before or meet someone you thought about and do not know? Regardless of what you want, you need to learn how to achieve conscious dreaming.
When you decide “why” you want to do this you will begin and learn techniques to help in your quest to start lucid dreaming. Techniques that will help you achieve the necessary frame of mind. Usually people who begin this kind of activity will start with recalling dreams they have had. It’s just a matter of remembering dreams you’ve already dreamt.
You need to remember the dreams you have every night in order to start conscious dreaming. Try to remember every detail. A good way to do this is to keep a journal of all your dreams. Keep it beside your bed and record everything you can recall about your dreams. Do this every morning when you wake up. Do not wait until later in the day as you may forget. The longer you are awake the more you forget about your dreams.
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.
Together with a dream diary or by itself, hypnosis can be a valuable tool in dream recall and conscious dreaming. In just a few sessions of hypnosis, most people find that they can remember each and every little detail of their dreams. After this can be done, conscious dreaming will start to happen more readily.
A common problem people have when they get started in conscious dreaming is suddenly awakening from their conscious dreams; to return to your dream, go back to sleep while concentrating on the events of the dream in as much detail as possible.
This method of inducing lucid or conscious dreaming is to wake earlier than usual, now try to go back sleep. In this state dreams are easier to be aware of. You might be unsure whether you are awake or asleep, or simply thinking lying in bed. Doing this regularly and lucid dreaming is much more likely.
Pay close attention to your patterns of sleep. These patterns will dictate the time these types of dreams are likely to occur. Also remember - do not sleep less hours than you normally do. You are likely to have fewer lucid dreams if you do.
However, good news. It has been found that lucid dreams have a positive effect on insomnia. By lucid dreaming, the effect is that it can teach your mind to close or shut down the distressful and bad thoughts which keep you awake.
Conscious dreaming can be learned much easier than you think – it doesn’t take years of practice to do.
If you are asleep and aware you are dreaming, this means you are having a lucid or conscious dream. This means you can control what happens while you are in this state. You will know you are dreaming so you can decide what happens next.
