Is Lucid Dreaming Real?
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.
This truly metaphysical experience enables you to make 'living artworks' out of your own dreams as the walls of your usual limitations are now just sand under your feet.
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?
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.
In order to master the art of lucid dreaming, you must establish your objective clearly. For instance do you only want a private haven in the form of lucid dreaming or do you want to learn for a precise reason of developing your skills? You must have a clear objective in mind, no matter your reason for learning to lucid dream.
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.
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.
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.
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.
Simply set your alarm to sound off a couple of hours before you normally awake. When your alarm goes off, wake up, switch it off and then go back to sleep to enjoy your lucid dreams. Keep in mind that it is very helpful to keep a record of your sleeping patterns to determine the best time for you to have lucid dreams.
Do you know you can overcome such sleeping disorders as insomnia by learning to lucid dream? If you are one who struggles with getting your sleep during normal sleeping hours, simply tell your mind that sleeping equals lucid dreaming. All those bothersome thoughts that keep you from going to sleep will be taken care of by your mind.
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.
One of the quickest and most efficient means of learning how to lucid dream is by listening to binaural audios.
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.
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.
It is possible to experience lucid dreaming soon by listening to binaural sound waves combined with hypnosis to prepare your subconscious mind.
