The Art Of Having A Lucid Dream
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.
This last factor is probably one of the most remarkable parts of lucid dreaming. Experiencing and identifying a dream and taking control of it is really quite an amazing feat. The simple fact of knowing that you are dreaming and identifying the dream as such is astounding. Lucid dreaming allows you to take control of the dream and realize that within the dream there are no limits to where your imagination can take you.
Just take a moment to consider the possibilities. When you are Lucid Dreaming, everything feels and looks real, but you are aware that you are dreaming and will be safe no matter what happens in your dream. This is the kind of personal virtual reality experience which no computer yet created can come close to.
Lucid Dreaming is an incredible skill and many more people are learning to experience it. The Lucid Dream is very rarely experienced by those who are unaware of it or who have not taken the time to learn how to do it. Can you imagine how fun and thrilling it would be to be able to have a lucid dream whenever you wanted to?
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.
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.
Can Technology Help?
New developments in various technologies can help you to have Lucid Dreams. There are some new devices including LED equipped eyeshades and sleep masks. These devices detect when the sleeper enters REM sleep and activates a LED to remind the sleeper that they are dreaming. Once the sleeper is aware of this, they can move to take the reins of their dream.
Even more exciting devices are coming to the market. One of these is a piece of sound wave technology. This has opened up a new realm for those whom desire a Lucid Dream. The process involves playing a different sound wave in each ear. This process is known as binaural beats.
By listening to these binaural frequencies, the hemispheres of the brain are synchronized and the brainwaves are put into the REM sleep state, which is the proper state to have Lucid Dreams.
If you've always wanted to try out Lucid Dreaming, binaural sound is certainly the quickest and easiest way to begin.
