Experiencing Lucid Dreaming
\"Conscious Dreaming\" or Lucid Dreaming involves remaining aware during a dream. That is, when you are having a lucid dream, you know that you are dreaming; but you are still \"inside\" the dream, not standing outside looking in. In dreams as in life, awareness gives you great power, and you have power over the course of your very own dreams.
Lucid dreaming is having the power to control the direction of your dream which is an element of your metaphysical existence. You will notice that all the limitations of reality seem to swiftly cease to exist.
But of course, if this power is so great, the question is: can it really be learned by just about everyone? Or does one have to have special, unique talents?
Well, as powerful as it is, lucid dreaming is really not that hard at all. But you do need fierce determination to condition your mind in the right way; you've got to want it.
However, you must determine clearly your objective for trying to master the art of lucid dreaming. Do you simply want your own private getaway in the form of lucid dreams or do you have a particular reason for developing your skills? No matter your reason, you must have clarity of mind for its purpose.
Then you will begin the process of learning how to lucid dream. First you will have to learn a process of Dream Recall, which is recalling a dream the night before. You cannot achieve lucid dreaming unless you can remember a dream.
Understand the process is slow. However, you can be successful by keeping a personal Dream Recall Register. You will begin by listing daily all the details you are able to recall about your dream. You will eventually realize that you can recall some of the most vivid details of your dream. Doing periodic reality checks, while you are in a dream state will aid you in training your mind for awareness.
Now, using hypnosis can really speed you forward along the road of preparation to get you to the point where your subconscious mind opens you up to lucid dreaming--even with just a session or two of hypnosis.
Now, be prepared for suddenly waking up during a lucid dream. We all might wake up during any dream. But if this happens to you, you'll find the dream you awakened from easy to recall; and all you do then is relax, go back to sleep, and resume the dream. You'll realize then that you have the power of lucid dreaming within you!
Now when you start trying to practice lucid dreaming, you could find that you suddenly awaken from a dream--and then you'll find yourself able to recall that dream immediately. be All you need do at this point is relax and let yourself drift back to sleep, and you'll be able to enter that same dream and pick up right where you left off. Upon waking, you will now know that you have the great power of lucid dreaming coming fully under your control.
Many newer practitioners find it immensely helpful to lucid dream in the wee dawn hours just before they wake up for the day; at this point, our thoughts are already preparing for the day ahead, so the dream state and thoughts about the waking state combine.
If you set your alarm clock, say, to go off at at 4AM when you aren't getting up until 6AM, you can then wake up, turn off the alarm, go back to sleep for a couple of hours and have a strong lucid dreaming experience. Along these lines, knowing your own sleeping patterns enables you to figure out the very best times for you to do lucid dreaming.
Lucid dreaming is potent for helping cure insomnia. All you must do is suggest to your mind that sleeping means the same thing as lucid dreaming, and then your own subconscious mind will take care of all the thoughts that are preventing you from falling asleep.
More and more people are saying that binaural audios are giving them a faster, easier way to enter through the door of the realm of lucid dreaming.
A lot of people agree that listening to binaural audios is definitely the easiest and most consistently successful way of experiencing lucid dreaming.
Before this technology was made available, lucid dreaming had to be ultimately induced by meditation techniques; and these usually took several years to learn, on top of the fact that their austerity a touch too much for most people who then quit trying to master lucid dreams.
Before this time the only way for you to learn how to lucid dream was to make use of meditation techniques that took several years to master with firmness and strength of mind power. However, many individuals felt it to be too difficult to continue, before this new technology became available.
