What exactly is meant by dream control?
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:
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.
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.
Other than self hypnosis and meditation, there are many other methods which have been developed over the years to help people have lucid dreaming experiences and begin using dream control. In every methods, the idea is to enable the dreamer to realize that they are dreaming, so they can then begin dictating the events of their dreams.
This training will begin, of course while you are wide awake. You need to set a cue for yourself – an action which you will perform or a certain thing which you will say that will be your reminder that you are dreaming so that you can begin using dream control.
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.
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.
Now you can control your nightmares, go to any place you desire, have all the adventures you want and explore your fantasy world free of all worldly restrictions and limitations. Dream control makes all of this possible. The ability to rule our fantasy worlds each and every time we go there at night. No more nightmares or bad dreams. Your imagination is your only limitation.
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!
