Thoughts During Conscious Dreaming
Also called lucid dreaming, conscious dreaming is a state where you are aware that you are in the middle of a dream and can then start to control the goings-on of the experience. You can do anything that you can imagine while having a lucid dream, as soon as you understand that you are dreaming.
Think about what you will want to do when you are lucid dreaming. Do you want to enjoy your dreams more, fly in your dreams, hunt down the villain as in a video game or use them to help you solve problems in other areas? It does not matter why you want to lucid dream as long as you have a goal and a mindset to achieve it.
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.
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.
In order to start to conscious dream, you need to recall all the details of dreams you dream every night. There are several, but the technique most wildly used is the dream diary. Simply place by the side of your bed a notebook and pen or pencil. Each and every morning, before you even get up, write down everything you can recall in your dream diary. The longer you wait the less information you will remember about your dream.
You will remember more about your dreams each time you write the information in the diary and you’ll also be able to use your dream to refresh your memory. Now your mind is primed to remember details of your dreams and being aware of your dreams has become easy. You may suddenly become awake and aware that what you dreamt is 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.
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.
Get to know your sleeping patterns. This will help you find the right time to have the most success at having these dreams. Do not lose too much sleep, if you become very tired, lucid dreaming is not likely to occur.
