Dream Control Delights.
We tend to operate under the assumption that our dreams are something entirely out of our hands. We think of them as a mysterious happening which we do not fully understand, much less have the ability to control. However, these nightly journeys made by our subconscious are something which we can indeed take control of. Thanks to a technique known as lucid dreaming, dream control is an ability which is well within our reach.
But is this actually real or is the reality of dream control just a myth? It it really is true then what are the benefits of it? And can anyone really achieve this state of being able to control everything that happens when you are dreaming?
What Is Dream Control?
Dream control, (through the use of lucid dreaming), is your becoming aware of the fact you are in a dream state, and that you can actually control the happenings in your dream. As you are sound asleep, you recognize that the events you think are going on are actually dreams, and that you can control how the events transpire to even the ending.
For the nightmare sufferers of the world, this can help them find a cure, and back to being able to sleep nice and sound again, and back to having pleasant dreams.
Common Techniques For Inducing Lucid Dreaming
A very effective, but a very simple method to achieve lucid dreaming is the use of audio (binaural) and this method entails listening to a couple of different frequencies, together at the same time, and this will synchronize your brain waves and help put you into a deep state of relaxation, a state to possibly bring about the state of lucid dreaming and this is called (REM) or rapid eye movement state of sleeping.
Before it was possible to find CD and DVDs of binaural audio, the primary methods used to induce lucid dreaming were self-hypnosis and meditation. While these both work very well, it takes time to develop these abilities far enough to reliably gain dream control.
Many additional techniques, since then, have been developed as methods for inducing lucid dreaming by those experts in both fields of psychology and science. And regardless of any of the earlier methods used the basic purpose still remains the same. To train the mind while in the state of sleep to be aware of being in a dream. The state needed to begin lucid dreaming.
To accomplish this, it takes us being completely awake it start, with the secret being the ability to remember to either say something or do an action in the dream, which will bring on the appropriate realization in your mind and permit you to control the next events happening.
Much of the time it's a matter of telling yourself your going to sleep and start to dream and will remember to say or do something specific in that dream. With this, instantly you will know you are dreaming.
In this method, particularly, dream control is known as mnemonic induction of lucid dreaming (MILD). This method was also discovered by a scientist call Dr. Stephen LaBerge, and with this method, your mind is in total control of what happens in the dream and its conclusion. There is nothing in your dream which can harm you, simply, it is all in your mind and you are in total control. The only limitations are in the scope of your imagination.
There is another way of reaching lucid dreaming and it involves making a dream journal or diary, do this by keeping a pen or pencil and a notebook of some kind by your bed so that you can jot down any information that you are able to recall in the moments right after you wake up. By doing this for several nights, you will begin to see that you are able to recall the facts you have jotted down and dream something similar but this time you will start to exert control over the events.
With lucid dreaming you can go anywhere you desire, meet anyone you would like to meet and tame those creatures from your nightmares. Explore the fantastic imaginary worlds of fantasy and adventure of your dreams. Become a free spirit. Anything you want is yours and only limited by your imagination. You can be a free spirit, free of societies restriction, constraints and limits. With lucid dreaming you will be in complete control of all your nightly fantasies and adventures.
However, keep in mind that you can have too much of a good thing, even dream control. Experts in the field have said that our dreams can be a way of our subconscious minds trying to tell us something important. It’s important to give yourself a few nights off from lucid dreaming now and then, as amazing of an experience as discovering dream control can be.
