Lucid Dream Secrets Discussed
A Lucid Dream is defined as a dream where you know you are dreaming and you can manipulate your dream. \"Lucid\" in this context simply means aware or conscious of. The extent of the lucidity does vary from dreaming session to dreaming session and from person to person. This awareness is dependent on the dream, the stability of the dream, the experiences in the dream, and even how much the dreamer remembers when they wake up. Most of this is fairly largely influenced by your personal awareness during sleep and how much control you take during the dream.
The most important part of lucid dreaming, of course is the question of whether or not you have control over the things which are happening in your dream and to be aware that you are dreaming. You are in the director's chair of your dream – meaning that you can have any experience you want in your Lucid Dream.
Just think about this for a second. The events in a Lucid Dream seem real; but with the difference that you know that it is all a dream and that you are safe; there is no risk of injury in a Lucid Dream and no limits to your abilities. It is a kind of \"virtual reality\" experience which no computer can come close to in terms of realism.
Lucid Dreaming is an amazing thing; and an increasing number of people are trying it out for themselves. Almost everyone has a Lucid Dream occasionally, but can you imagine how great it would be to be able to have a Lucid Dream at will?
If you truly want to open up a new path into some pretty amazing experiences then you probably want to learn just what you can do with these dreams. Imagine, if you will, being able to create your own universe, your own movie saga, create novels and book, or even experiment and design things all in the state of peaceful relaxation and slumber. You could even time travel and speak to people you have never met or have not seen in many years. Your dram has no limits!
The ability to Lucid Dream regularly is one which it once took a very long time to learn. Many would spend months in training before they were able to have their first Lucid Dream – and for some, Lucid Dreaming stayed just out of reach no matter how much they tried.
So are there any simple ways of experiencing a Lucid Dream?
Many people who have experienced a Lucid Dream swear by eating certain foods just prior to the dream. If you would like to try this they usually recommend orange juice, milk, cheese, and mustard. These seem to produce the best results.
Some other people have noted that pickles, ice cream, popcorn, and even fish have assisted them. These may not be as effective in aiding Lucid Dream occurrences. The idea that some people claim is that these foods containing high sugar, high fat, and even high acid content, prepare your brain for the session. They even claim that they prepare your brain to recall the Lucid Dream afterwards. The main issue is that these foods hamper the body and minds ability to produce restful sleep.
Can Technology Help?
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.
Another fabulous piece of technology that is helping even more people enter into the Lucid Dream world is an audio device. This little device has been developed by scientists to play different sound wave frequencies known as binaural beats.
These binaural beats are designed to assist the dreamer in synchronizing both hemispheres of the brain. Just by simply listening to these special frequencies the mind goes almost instantly into the REM sleep mode. This is exactly where they need to be in order to begin a Lucid Dream session.
If you've always wanted to try out Lucid Dreaming, binaural sound offers the quickest and easiest way to begin.
