What does Dream Control Mean?
Dream control, usually known as lucid dreaming means that you are totally aware when asleep that you are dreaming. You can control everything that is happening and can choose the outcome of everything that happens.
There are people who do suffer from nightmares and frequently. This method is powerful and simple, and just the method they may need to relieve themselves of these disturbingly bad and distressing dreams.
The Common Methods of Achieving Lucid Dreaming are:
One of the most effective ways of inducing lucid dreaming is also one of the newest – binaural audio. This is a technology which involves listening to two different frequencies at the same time. This listening produces deep relaxation and allows your brainwaves to synchronize, leading to the REM sleep state necessary for lucid dreaming to occur.
Prior to modern technology and all kinds of programs made available on DVDs or CDs, the most popular means of dream control techniques were meditation and self hypnosis. With meditation and self hypnosis, many people reportedly found it difficult to achieve a state conducive to dream control.
There are a number of other techniques which have been used by experts to help people achieve dream control. All of these techniques work towards the goal of training the mind to understand that they are dreaming so that they can enter a state of lucid dreaming.
You need to begin this mental training, however while you are still awake. The goal is to set a cue which you will be able to perform in your dream which signals to you that you are in fact dreaming and that it is time to start taking the reins of your dream and directing it towards the outcomes you want.
You do this by just stating to yourself, before falling asleep, that very soon you will be in the middle of dreaming, and in a dream you are going to say a word or phrase, or act in a specific manner, that will let you know that you are in a dream.
This method, in particular, is known as mnemonic induction (MILD) of lucid dreams and was discovered by Dr. Stephen LaBerge, a scientist. Your brain is in complete control with this method and controls what happens during your dream. By controlling your dreams, it simply means no harm can come to you. Itis all in the mind and your imagination is your only limitation on what you can experience while lucid dreaming.
You can achieve lucid dreaming, by also keeping a record of what you remember about your dreams, upon waking in a journal or notebook, that you have by your bed. Do this enough nights and you will begin to recollect the facts you've written, and then you will start having dreams like the ones your wrote the facts about, which this can enable you to start managing your dreams.
With dream control you can go anywhere, do anything and see anyone that you can imagine. There are no limits to what you can do when you are lucid dreaming.
Many experts agree however, that there can be a drawback to too much lucid dreaming, as with anything else doing with life, and that this can head towards the wrong results. It is always been a valuable thing to naturally dream, through it we learn many things about ourselves that would stay dead and buried otherwise. Have fun with your lucid dreaming. This is an unique experience just schedule yourselves some nights for normal dreaming too!
