Dreams And Lucid Dreaming
Lucid Dreaming is Conscious Dreaming and is the ability of awareness that you are dreaming. In a nutshell, you are aware that all the occurrences you are experiencing are actually within a dream, while you are dreaming. While lucid dreaming you have a certain amount of control, unlike when you are experiencing normal dreaming.
This is nothing short of the metaphysical. Your limitations are lifted; you can do the 'impossible'.
So, you ask, can it really be that simple? Surely not every single common person who wants to can experience lucid dreaming!
As a matter of fact, lucid dreaming isn't all that hard, as long as you have a burning desire to learn these amazing, tried and true techniques of expressing your innermost desires.
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.
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.
This can be a slow process, but success is achieved by maintaining a Dream Recall Register, or 'dream journal', where you write down your dreams in as much detail as you possibly can, especially upon waking. Slowly but surely, you will in this way train your mind to be able to remember even the minutest details of your dreams. You are subconsciously opening the doorway between day and dream, and this is the bridge you cross into lucid dreaming.
The time required for preparing the subconscious mind to experience lucid dreaming can be reduced greatly with hypnosis for some individuals. Generally one or two hypnosis sessions allows you to continually recall all your dreams. Your mind is conditioned for lucid dreaming once this happens.
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.
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.
This is easy to do by setting your alarm to chime just a couple of hours before you would normally wake up. Once the alarm goes off, simply wake up and turn it off and then go right back to sleep. You can enjoy your lucid dreams. In order for you to pinpoint the best time for lucid dreaming it is most helpful to keep a record of your personal sleeping patterns.
Now until recent times, this craft known as lucid dreaming took up a great deal of one's time, and many grew frustrated and quit because of this. But recent advances in audio technology have made things far, far easier for anyone who seeks to experience lucid dreaming.
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.
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.
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.
If you combine listening to binaural sound waves, hypnosis and affirmations to prepare the subconscious mind, lucid dreaming can happen very soon after your first attempt.
