Simple Ways To Experience An Amazingly Real Lucid Dream!
by Colleen Rikke
If you are unfamiliar with the term, a lucid dream is one in which you
are aware that you are dreaming. Lucid, of course denotes
consciousness. The extent to which you are lucid within your dream
depends on how stable the dream is, how much of the dream you can
recall upon waking and how much control you have over the course of
the dream.
It is this last factor which is the most remarkable and amazing thing
about experiencing a Lucid Dream. Being able to identify the fact that
you are having a dream is astounding. You can decide which direction
you want the dream to go in and there really are no limits to what
experiences you can have!
Just think about this for a moment. A Lucid Dream is like reality in
every aspect; you can see, feel and use all of your senses, but with
the knowledge that you are perfectly safe and can do literally
anything you want. This is a virtual reality experience far beyond the
capabilities of any computer technologies.
A growing number of people are mastering Lucid Dreaming and trying it
for themselves. While most of us have an experience with Lucid
Dreaming at some point in our lives, just imagine how great it would
be to have a Lucid Dram any time you choose!
A Lucid Dream can be a doorway to some amazing experiences! Meeting
and interacting with your favorite celebrity, having untamed erotic
fantasies, taking a trip to distant planets, visiting fantasy worlds
and touring them, conversing with a lost loved one, in fact anything
at all; there are no limits to your imagination!
But experiencing regular and controlled Lucid Dreams can actually be
fairly complicated to achieve. Certainly until recently people would
spend months going through an instruction training and
self-conditioning procedure prior to obtain familiarity to their first
lucid dream. Often people would manage to have but brief instants of
lucidity, whereas others never succeed in it at all.
So are there any simple ways of experiencing a Lucid Dream?
Many people feel that particular foods can encourage or induce a lucid
dream. You should try these immediately before going to sleep. Orange
Juice, Milk and Cheese and also Mustard have been reported as being
good things to consume for the best results.
Also recommended by some are ice cream, popcorn, pickles and fish.
Some people say that these foods are ideal for preparing your mind for
Lucid Dreaming - but of course, many of these are high in salt and
fat, which isn't very conducive to a good night's sleep.
Can Technology Be Of Assistance?
New technologies can make it somewhat easier to experience Lucid
Dreaming. There are devices which can help to stimulate you to have
Lucid Dreams such as eyeshades and sleep masks which activate a LED
when rapid eye movements are detected. This light reminds you that you
are dreaming; letting you take control of the dream!
But exciting new developments in sound technology have opened up the
world of Lucid Dreams to anybody! A process has been developed by
scientists where different sound frequency waves are played in each
ear. This is known as binaural beats.
These binaural frequencies synchronize the hemispheres of the brain;
by listening to these frequencies, the brain is helped to achieve REM
sleep, the sleep state necessary for Lucid Dreaming.
For anyone wondering what it is like to experience a Lucid Dream, then
this is definitely the easiest and most reliable way of getting
started!
