Have You Tried 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.
Can it be so simple? Can you lucid dream and then make those things that in the waking hours seem impossibly difficult come to life in reality.
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.
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!
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.
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.
Now, using hypnosis can really speed you forward along the road of preparation to get you to the point where your subconscious mind opens you up to lucid dreaming--even with just a session or two of hypnosis.
Now, be prepared for suddenly waking up during a lucid dream. We all might wake up during any dream. But if this happens to you, you'll find the dream you awakened from easy to recall; and all you do then is relax, go back to sleep, and resume the dream. You'll realize then that you have the power of lucid dreaming within you!
Going back to sleep for a couple of hours after waking in the morning can induce some excellent lucid dreams, especially if you are new to the experience. These dreams are 'just next door' to lucid dreams because you end up wondering if they were actually dreams or if it was that your thoughts manifested as an anticipated event.
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.
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.
Lucid dreaming is potent for helping cure insomnia. All you must do is suggest to your mind that sleeping means the same thing as lucid dreaming, and then your own subconscious mind will take care of all the thoughts that are preventing you from falling asleep.
And now, modern advances in sonic technologies have enabled us to learn far faster and more easily how to experience the power of lucid dreaming.
The technology of binaural audio recordings has been tested and proven to give enormous help to people who want to lucid dream.
Before this technology was made available, lucid dreaming had to be ultimately induced by meditation techniques; and these usually took several years to learn, on top of the fact that their austerity a touch too much for most people who then quit trying to master lucid dreams.
In the absence of this technology, meditation techniques had to be used by most people to master lucid dreaming. Due to the austere nature of and very long time period required for mastery of the prolonged meditation which could lead to lucid dreaming, the vast majority of people just gave up in frustration.
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.
