Dream Control Is Fun!
While most people sleep they dream (mini moves) and as mysterious as dreams are, they occur while we are soundly sleeping and without our control, at least it seems that way. Some of these dreams are pleasant while others are disconcerting and not so pleasant. We do know, however, it is possible to make controlling your dreams a reality. And this is achieved by learning about and inducing a state known as lucid dreaming.
What does this term “lucid dreaming” really mean and in what way does it happen, and what are the benefits to this? Are people really able to obtain control, and make their nightly travels in the dreaming arena into an ongoing, never ending adventure? Stay tuned to this article for your answers of these often asked questions on the topic of controlling dreams.
What Is Dream Control?
Dream control only means that you have full knowledge of what you are dreaming, and through lucid dreaming, you become able to manipulate what goes on in the dreams. At the same time you are sleeping, you are able to recognize that you are going through a dream, not real events, and you can completely control all the activities being shown to you, even to a finale.
For people who suffer from recurring nightmares, this method, simplistic as it is, is powerful and may be just the system they need to rid themselves of the recurring nightmares and begin to enjoy a decent night's sleep.
Lucid Dreaming: Methods of inducement.
Binaural audio is a new technology which has been proven effective in helping people to reach a lucid dreaming state. Binaural audio involves listening to two different frequencies simultaneously. When the listener hears these two frequencies, they begin to relax and their brainwaves synchronize with each other, which induces the REM sleep state which is needed for lucid dreaming and dream control.
Meditation and self hypnosis used to be the most used methods to bring about the lucid dreaming, before the new technology of the binaural waves came upon us. But these 2 methods were not always highly effective, as people said they had no success at reaching the state called for, for dream control.
Besides using these methods for lucid dreaming, there are others that have been discovered through the years by qualified psychologists and scientists. It does not matter which method is used, the basic goal is the same, which is to train your mind as it sleeps to recognize when it is in the middle of 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.
Known as MILD (mnemonic induction of lucid dreaming) this technique was developed by Dr. Stephen LaBerge and it has allowed many thousands of people to begin lucid dreaming and using dream control to rid themselves of recurring nightmares and achieve a feeling of empowerment.
Keeping a dream diary is a good way to train yourself to use dream control. Keep a notebook and pen by your bedside so that when you awake from a dream you can write down anything and everything which you remember. After keeping your dream journal for a few week, you may find yourself having a dream which you have written down over again – except this time, you’ll be in the director’s chair for the experience!
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.
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!
