The Conscious Dreaming Full Experience
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.
This might sound almost unbelievable, but conscious dreaming is an ability you already have and can learn to harness with some practice. It’s not hard to start lucid dreaming and through this ability you can express yourself and come to full self-actualization. There are even some techniques which have been proven to produce lucid dreams that you can use.
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?
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.
This ability is the best way to condition your mind for lucid dreaming. You can start by keeping a dream diary, which you keep at your bedside. Right away after awakening, write down each and every detail you can remember of your dreams of the night.
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.
You may accidentally wake up from a conscious dream, but do not despair, this is normal, especially at first. Picture the dream in your mind and follow it as you go back to sleep. You will more than likely fall right back into the same dream and be able to control whatever is going on there as you wish.
Yet another conscious dreaming method is to force yourself to awaken earlier than usual, such as two hours or so. After you have awoken, go ahead and fall back to sleep. This has the effect of making you more aware of your dreams. You may have the illusion that you are lying in bed daydreaming but you are actually asleep and dreaming. Lucid dreaming is very likely to occur if you do this consistently.
Something else which works for a lot of people is to set your alarm two to three hours before you would usually get up. Once you awaken, go right back to sleep (don’t forget to reset your alarm, though!). These last few hours of sleep are when conscious dreaming is most likely to happen. Many find that they are so conscious of these dreams that it can be difficult to tell if you are dreaming, or just lying awake thinking.
You’ll want to know your sleeping patterns, since this can help you to determine when the best times are for lucid dreams. However, you’ll still want to make sure to get plenty of sleep. When you are fatigued, you’ll have a harder time conscious dreaming.
However, it happens that lucid dreaming can be helpful to those afflicted with some sleep disorders including insomnia – you’ll learn to banish the worrisome thoughts that can keep you from getting to sleep.
You may think that lucid dreaming will take years to master – however, it’s something you can do with relatively little practice!
It is so easy to lucid dream that almost anyone can achieve it. Put a little time into it and choose one of these methods to learn the power of lucid dreaming. Try all three methods and see which one works best for you. Discover what lies within your dreams.
