How Do Lucid Dreamers Control Their Dreams?
Lucid Dreaming is not a terribly complicated concept; it is simply the state of being aware of dreaming while you are dreaming. Lucid in this context denotes this awareness. How lucid your Lucid Dreaming is has to do with the stability of this dream, the amount of control you have over the happenings in your dream and the amount of recall you have once you awake from this dream.
The most striking aspect of a Lucid Dream is this very control. Knowing that the things going on around you are only a part of your dream is something which is quite unlike anything else. You are at the wheel of this ship and have full control over what happens. Other than your imagination, there are no boundaries to what you can do in your Lucid Dream experiences.
Take a minute to consider the possibilities. While everything that happens in a Lucid Dream may seem real and can be experienced by all of your senses, there are no lasting effects to your actions; you can do anything you want without fear of injury in a Lucid Dream and there are no limits on the things you can do. This is truly a virtual reality experience which no other can even come close to.
More people than ever before are trying Lucid Dreaming for themselves. While most people experience a Lucid Dream at some point in their lives, just imagine how exciting it would be if you could have Lucid Dreams any time you want!
Lucid Dreaming is your ticket to some incredible experiences. You can meet celebrities, have wild erotic experiences, visit other worlds and explore, talk to your ancestors; anything that you imagine can happen in your Lucid Dream!
It can be fairly complicated to achieve controlled Lucid Dreams on a regular basis. Up until recently many people spent months in training and using special self-conditioning procedures before even experiencing one single Lucid Dream. Even then, most people never even succeed once, let alone on a regular basis.
So are there any simple ways of experiencing a Lucid Dream?
Some people have found that eating certain foods right before a sleep session has encouraged a lucid dream to occur. On the list of foods that seem to be successful for this process are: Orange Juice, Milk, Cheese, and mustard. You could try these just before heading to bed.
Other foods are less effective but are still thought to help; pickles, ice cream and popcorn. These foods do have the drawback of having a lot of salt or fat – meaning that they are less likely to produce restful sleep.
Can Technology Assist You?
The technology not only exists, but it is being researched and improved. As this technology improves, so does your chances with experiencing dream lucidity. Some of these devices include masks and eye shade which monitor your eyes and blink a red diode when REM sleep begins. The Rapid Eye Movement portion of sleep is an indicator that dreaming is taking place. The red beam can help people remember that they are in fact dreaming as the red beam becomes part of the dream. Once the person remembers that a red beam during the dream means that they are in control, then they can begin to manipulate the dreaming session.
One of the most effective of these new technologies is one which uses audio frequencies called binaural beats. Each of the listener's ears have different frequencies played into them, which helps you to have Lucid Dreams.
Binaural beats serve to induce a synchronizing in both hemispheres of the brain. As if instantly these two special frequencies induce the brain to produce a state of REM sleep. This is where your Lucid Dream can begin.
If you have always wanted to try Lucid Dreaming for yourself, binaural sound presents the quickest and easiest way to begin.
