Thoughts During Lucid Dreaming
Lucid Dreaming is a technique by which one remains aware that one is dreaming while a dream is taking place. For this reason, it's sometimes known as \"Conscious Dreaming\". What this means for you is that when you are lucid dreaming, you know that you are having a dream, in the same way that when you step into the bus terminal you know you're in the bus terminal and not in the countryside or out on the street. And, because of your awareness, you are able to exert a great deal of control over what happens in your dream.
The power of having mastery over shaping the events of your own dreams is part of the very definition of the metaphysical. All of the normal dream-time rules, like \"timelessness\", \"teleportation\", and so on still apply: so, step into an existence where your usual limitations have suddenly vanished without a trace.
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.
Before anything else, you've got to be perfectly clear about your objective for your own lucid dreaming. Is this just going to be your infinite playground, or is there some specific problem you want to solve through the power of the lucid dream? This is personal, but you have to be clear about it before you can move forward.
So, you have that clear as a bell's peal in your mind; now begins the earnest process of learning this craft, which begins in Dream Recall; that is, recalling a dream of the previous night's sleep experience. Even those who claim they \"never dream\" can and must learn this before they can truly experience lucid dreaming.
But once you see clearly what your aim is, you can start the process of mastering lucid dreaming. Dream Recall is the first step. This is where you become able to remember, in detail, the dreams of your previous night's sleep. Without Dream Recall, there can be no lucid dreaming.
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.
Some individuals have found that the time for preparing the subconscious mind for experiencing lucid dreaming is reduced greatly by having hypnosis. You have the ability to continually recall your dreams by having one or two sessions, in most cases. Once this occurs your mind is then conditioned for 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.
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.
Sleeping disorders like insomnia are quite often done away with by lucid dreaming. If you have insomnia and can't get to sleep at the usual or needed hours, all you need do is tell your mind that sleeping is the equivalent of lucid dreaming, and your subconscious acts to remove or integrate all thoughts which are keeping you from your needed sleep.
It's always been hard, however, to actually take the time to prepare the mind for lucid dreaming. But recent advances in sonic technology have made it all more egalitarian.
The art of lucid dreaming was very time consuming to learn. However, the recent advances in sound technologies have made it much easier for anyone to experience 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.
Binaural audio recordings work in stereo; a different sound frequency is played in each ear at the same time, phasing the brainwaves correctly and inducing deep relaxation in the listener, opening them up to lucid dreaming.
Binaural sound waves, alone or along with hypnosis, enable people to achieve the state of consciousness necessary to move into the realm of lucid dreaming.
