What does Dream Control Mean?
When we use lucid dreaming, we can use the ability of dream control. Lucid dreaming begins with the awareness that you are dreaming while you are in the middle of a dream. Once you know that you are actually dreaming, you can start deciding how the events of your dream will unfold.
Those who suffer from nightmares, especially recurring ones can get relief from these bad dreams by using dream control. Once they have learned this simple but powerful skill, these people can finally get the good night’s rest they so badly need.
Lucid Dreaming: Methods of inducement.
A very successful way to reach lucid dreaming uses binaural audio, with this you listen to 2 different types of frequencies simultaneously, for the purpose of altering the brain waves, to bring on a relaxed stage, and also the rapid eye movement (REM) stage of sleep, which is where the lucid dreaming occurs.
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.
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.
This often comes down to you just saying to yourself, just prior to sleeping, that in a few minutes you will be dreaming, and that in the dream you will state something or do an action, and as this occurs, instantly you recognize you are dreaming.
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.
Starting a dream journal can also help prepare you for lucid dreaming. Keep this by your bedside and as soon as you wake from a dream, write down everything you can remember from it. Once you have been doing this for a while, you’ll begin to start lucid dreaming – remembering is the first step to dream control.
Using dream control can allow you to banish your nightmares and have truly incredible adventures in your dreams. Anything you can imagine is possible when you are lucid dreaming.
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.
