So You Want To Be Involved In Conscious Dreaming...
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.
The idea of being able to do anything you want in your dreams is amazing to think about, but anyone can learn to do it. It is not hard at all to do and offers an outlet for living out your fantasies and releasing your hidden desires.You can learn step-by-step proven ways to achieve the state of lucid dreaming.
Before you get started, take a step back and think about what you want to accomplish by means of conscious dreaming – do you just want to have more enjoyable dreams, or are there goals in your life which lucid dreaming can help you to reach?
Once you have a clear idea of your goals, you are ready to start practicing the techniques which lead to conscious dreaming. The first step for many is dream recall, which involves training yourself to remember you dreams in detail.
Remembering your dreams is the first step in having conscious dreaming experiences. The easiest way to train yourself to do this is to keep a dream diary. Keep your dream diary right by your bed and as soon as you awake from a dream, write down everything you can remember about it.
Keeping a dream diary trains your mind to recall and recognize dreams; this makes it easy to “awaken” during a dream and start asserting control over it.
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.
When you first start lucid dreaming, you might awaken suddenly from them; this is a pretty common occurrence. To get back into these dreams, focus on the details of the dream as you return to sleep.
A third way to train yourself to conscious dream is to awaken yourself a couple of hours earlier than normal, then falling back to sleep. You are able to stay more aware in your dreams in this period of sleep, in fact you may feel you are half-awake and half-asleep. You may feel as if you are lying in bed thinking or daydreaming. If you are able to do this regularly, you will find lucid dreaming will come easily.
Pay attention closely to your sleep patterns and this will confirm the times that are best to this type of dream. Do no cut your hours of sleep too less than you need. Lucid dreaming is less likely to occur if you are sleep deprived or tired.
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.
Lucid dreaming may seem likely to take years of study to learn, however, that’s not true. It can be accomplished in a short period of time with only a little work, and then you will have accomplished conscious dreaming and control your own dreams.
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.
