Is Lucid Dreaming Real?
\"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.
Having the power to completely control the direction of your dreams is part of your basic metaphysical existence. All the limitations you feel in life cease to exist swiftly.
But this begs the question: can it really be so easy? Is this accessible to all? If it really is that easy why doesn't everybody do it?
In fact, lucid dreaming is not too difficult of an endeavor at all. You just need the drive and desire to learn this powerful method for bringing forth your innermost wishes. And, there are tried and true ways of mastering this power.
Not only that, you have to have very defined objectives about exactly what you want to accomplish with your lucid dreaming. Is this about recreation? Is it about solving a problem whose answer eludes you in your waking life? Is this about enhancing your creativity? It's up to you, but it's got to be clear. Your objective itself must be lucid!
A Dream Recall Register (dream journal) in which you write down (and/or sketch) as many details as you are able to recall about your dreams on a daily basis needs to used here, because this often a painfully slow process for many people. Nevertheless, slowly but surely, you’ll come to start remembering even the most understated, minor details of your dreams. Now, you need to give yourself some reality checks when you're dreaming, too: like, if you walk through a wall, tell yourself, \"How strange that I just walked through a wall!\" This will greatly help you train your mind more deeply in lucid dreaming.
Also, many have discovered that hypnosis, and even only a session or two, can drastically cut down on their necessary prep-time for making their subconscious mind ready to experience lucid dreaming.
You might suddenly wake up when you're right in the middle of a lucid dream. But this will not matter; you’ll be able with ease to remember all of the important details of that dream. Now, simply relax yourself and go back to sleep, while continuing the dream in the direction that you want to go. Upon waking it will be clear to you that you've got the authentic power of conscious dreaming or lucid dreaming.
On occasion, you may suddenly find yourself wide awake during a lucid dream. However, you will easily be able to recall all the essential details of your dream with the power you have achieved thus far. You can simply relax and fall back asleep, while you continue in the desired direction in your dream. Upon awaking you will realize that you have experienced the power of conscious dreaming the previous night.
It's not difficult; just set an alarm clock to go off a couple of hours before your regularly scheduled waking. Wake up to the alarm, switch it off, and then return to sleep and experience some vividly lucid dreams.
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.
Insomniacs receive tremendous help from lucid dreaming. When you can let it sink into your mind that when you go to sleep and lucid dream you are \"reclaiming the sleep hours\", the problems that are keeping you awake at night are seen as problem-solving opportunities, not blockages, by your subconscious mind, and that part of your mind then makes it so that you can fall deeply asleep and no longer suffer.
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.
One of the quickest and most efficient means of learning how to lucid dream is by listening to binaural audios.
A slightly different sound frequency is played in each ear, which soon brings you to a state of complete relaxation. This resonates your brainwaves to the same frequency which allows lucid dreaming to occur.
Through listening to the binaural waves of sound, and especially when these are enhanced by hypnosis for preparing the subconscious mind, you can experience lucid dreaming very soon after just your first try.
