Dreaming Lucid - Yes It Can Be Done!
'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.
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.
So, you ask, can it really be that simple? Surely not every single common person who wants to can experience lucid dreaming!
You can easily practice lucid dreaming. Many studies prove that you have the ability to do this, if you commit yourself to learning how to harness this powerful medium while expressing your inner desires.
Perhaps most important of all is that you need to be perfectly clear regarding your personal objective in trying to master lucid dreaming. Are these lucid dreams for your own private playground, or do you have something more serious in mind? It doesn't much matter, just as long as you've got it crystal clear in your mind's eye.
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.
The process will be slow. However, you can achieve it by keeping a Dream Recall Register. Here you will list daily all the details you can recall about your dreams. Eventually, you do realize you can remember the most vivid of dream details. You can train your mind to be aware while you are dreaming by doing periodic reality checks.
Hypnosis has been used quite often to significantly reduce the time a person needs to train their subconscious mind to the point where they're ready for lucid dreaming. Only one or two sessions of hypnosis may be all one needs to do the trick.
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.
Just set an alarm clock to go off two or three hours before you are going to get up. When the alarm goes off, wake up and turn it off; then go back to sleep, and sink down deep into detailed lucid dreams. So, keep in mind that it's a great tool to know your sleeping patterns. By knowing these, you are best able to know your best times to sink down into 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.
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.
In the past it was it took quite a while to learn how to lucid dream, however with the dawning of new sound technologies it is now much easier than ever before for anyone to enjoy the experience of lucid dreaming.
Binaural audios play slightly different frequencies in each ear in stereo. This results in a deeply relaxed state and a receptive brainwave configuration for the listener, who now can experience lucid dreams (assuming his mind was already prepared as described above).
In the years prior to this technology, only certain meditation techniques, which frequently took long years to learn and the perseverance and determination of a sage or saint, were available, and this drove many people to abandon their lucid dreaming quests altogether.
Previously the only way you could learn to lucid dream was by using meditation techniques that may take years to master with strength of mind and perseverance. Before enjoying this technology most individuals found it too much of a struggle to persist.
When binaural sound waves and hypnosis are used for preparing the subconscious mind it is very possible for you to experience lucid dreaming sooner.
