So You Want To Be Involved In Lucid Dreaming...
Lucid Dreaming -- that is, Conscious Dreaming -- is the craft of having awareness while you are deeply dreaming. In other words, while you dream, you know with perfect clarity that every event is not happening as fact, but also this not the \"it's just a dream\" experience. For you see, when lucid dreaming, your awareness gives you tremendous power over how the dream goes, almost like consciously fantasizing but having all of the vividness and time-and-place-bending powers of the usual dream.
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 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?
But the fact of the matter is, lucid dreaming is not at all that difficult, as long as you know what you're doing. You really just need old fashioned determination and passion.
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!
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.
It can be slow going to master this skill. The best way to proceed is with keeping a dream journal, sometimes called a Dream Recall Register. You write down your previous night's dreams as fully as possible. It's most effective to do this when you first wake up. In time, you will realize that you've trained your mind to be able to recall even the smallest details of your dreams. When you reach this stage, you are ready to make the journey into lucid dreaming.
Many people have used hypnosis to dramatically reduce the time they need to train their subconscious mind to engage in lucid dreaming. Many times merely one of two hypnosis sessions permit one to consistently remember all of their dreams, so they are prepared for lucid dreaming.
Now, you can get to lucid dreams more easily by simply going back to sleep a few hours before you intend to wake up for the day.
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.
You may realize now that it’s extremely helpful to keep track of your sleeping patterns so you may find the best times to have lucid dreams.
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.
Recent advances in sound technologies have made it much faster and easier for one to learn lucid dreaming.
The technology of binaural audio recordings has been tested and proven to give enormous help to people who want to lucid dream.
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.
But binaural sound wave technology can be used in tandem with hypnosis to \"fast track\" a person into the power of lucid dreaming.
