Night Time Thoughts During Dream Control
Dreams to a lot of people are just some kind of movie that goes on in their heads when they sleep, that they seem to have little or no control over, while some are happy dreams there are other very dark dreams that are scary. It is nice to know though that we can actually achieve control over these dreams and engage is something called lucid dreaming.
What is the true meaning of the term lucid dreaming and in what way does it work? Are there any advantages, and is it truly a possibility for people to achieve control and make journeys nightly into the realm of dreaming their mini series of unique travels? This article will answer these questions that are very commonly asked on the subject of dream control.
What exactly is meant by dream control?
By using lucid dreaming, to control your dreams, it is a means to be fully aware of dreaming and that you will be able, while dreaming, to control what happens during these dreams. When completely asleep you will be aware that you are dreaming and solely in control of the dream and the outcome of that dream.
People, that suffer from bad dreams on a regular basis, can benefit from this greatly, to get control over their sleep and finally have a peaceful night's sleep.
Common Techniques For Inducing Lucid Dreaming
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.
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.
Additionally these methods were followed by other techniques that were developed during the following years by experts in both phychology and science. Initially, regardless of the method used, the basic purpose was to train the mind during sleep to be aware that it was dreaming.
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.
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.
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.
There is one potential drawback to lucid dreaming, say the experts. As with life in general, it holds true that an opposite effect is, an actuality, when you get too much of a good thing. The natural dream state is when we find out things about ourselves, things which would normally have been hidden from us and may never have surfaced. This is the main reason for you to enjoy your lucid dreaming, but you should also take some time off from lucid dreaming to dream in a natural state. Just remember to take a break and enjoy.
