The Science Of A Lucid Dream
If you are not quite sure what it is, Lucid Dreaming is actually pretty simple. Lucid Dreams are those where you are aware of the fact that you are dreaming while you are dreaming. How lucid exactly your lucid dream is depends on how much control you have over the events of the dream, how stable the dream is and how many of the events of the dream you can remember once you wake up from it.
Having control over your dream is the amazing thing about the experience of Lucid Dreaming. Knowing that you are dreaming even while in the middle of a dream is something which is hard to compare with anything else. You are in control and can decide the direction things go and other than your imagination, there is no limit to what you can do.
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.
Lucid Dreaming is an astonishing experience; more and more people are finding this out for themselves. While most people have a Lucid Dream at some point in their lives; wouldn't it be incredible if you could have Lucid Dreams whenever you wanted to?
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.
Having regular Lucid Dreaming can be a difficult thing to achieve. Until very recently, it was something which required months of training before any results would be seen; and some people never managed to achieve their goal of Lucid Dreaming.
Some Simple Ideas that May Produce 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 Help?
There are new technologies which can assist you in having Lucid Dreams. There are sleep masks and eyeshades which turn on LEDs when REM sleep is detected; the idea is that the red light of the LED will let dreamers know that they are dreaming; this is the first step to taking control of the dream.
The most exciting developments have been in audio technology. Sound waves at slightly different frequencies are played in to each ear of the listener – a technique known as binaural beats. This can open the experience of Lucid Dreaming to many people.
Binaural frequencies help to synchronize the hemispheres of the brain and make your brain more likely to reach REM sleep, which is needed in order for Lucid Dreaming to happen.
If you have ever wanted to experiences a fantastic Lucid Dream session and not have to work hard to learn how to do so, then this is definitely your most reliable method to getting started!
