The Art Of Having A Lucid Dream
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 important part of this equation is the control you have over the events of your dream and that you know that you are in fact dreaming. You are in control of your dream and can have any experience in your Lucid Dream that you want to have.
Imagine for a few moments what that is like. Dreaming usually seems a lot like reality. Most people even feel most of their senses and faculties as if they were awake. The difference is hat in a Lucid Dream, they know they are dreaming. They know that, no matter what happens, they cannot die or become injured while in the dream state. The normal rules and regulations of reality no longer exist. This is, for all practical purposes, you inborn virtual reality world and you make up all the rules. The depth of realism and imagination is not hemmed in by a budget or computer graphics.
Most people rarely, if ever, experience Lucid dreaming without first learning of the skill. However, it is an incredible skill that, with the right training and practice, even more people in today's society are learning to master. You too could have the exhilarating Lucid dream anytime you wanted to with the right skill set.
Lucid Dreaming lets you do anything you've ever wanted. You can meet celebrities, have unrestrained erotic experiences, visit other worlds; if you can imagine it, it 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.
Are There Simpler Methods for Training & Experiencing a Lucid Dream?
Some say that eating certain foods shortly before going to bed promote Lucid Dreaming. Some of these foods are cheese, orange juice, milk and mustard.
Others which have been mentioned are popcorn, ice cream and pickles. These are not felt to be as effective as the three mentioned above, but they are sworn to by many who say that they create the mental condition necessary for Lucid Dreaming. Of course, many of these foods are not conducive to restful sleep due to their high fatty acid, fat and salt content.
Is There Technology That can be of Assistance?
There have been some recent technological innovations which can help people to experience Lucid Dreaming. There are LED eyeshades and sleep masks. These LEDs activate once REM sleep is detected. The lights serve to remind the dreamer that they are dreaming. Once the sleeper comes to realize this, they are able to take control of their dreaming experience.
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.
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.
