Lucid Dreaming - How To Be Successful
'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.
This is a true metaphysical power, this power over your own dreams' actions and events. Instead of things being done to you, you are the star, and the writer, of the story, and you can use this power to help bring about great changes in your own waking life.
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.
Once you understand your reason you will begin the learning process of how to lucid dream. You will need to learn Dream Recall. This is the ability to recall a dream from the previous night. You will not be able to lucid dream until you can recall a dream.
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.
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!
Occasionally you may find yourself wide awake while you are lucid dreaming. You will be able to easily recall all the vital details of a dream with the power you have so far achieved. Simply allow yourself to relax and go back to sleep. You can continue your dream in your desired direction. You will begin to realize that you have experienced the power of conscious dreaming the previous night, after you wake up.
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.
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.
Insomniacs receive tremendous help from lucid dreaming. When you can let it sink into your mind that when you go to sleep and lucid dream you are 'reclaiming the sleep hours', the problems that are keeping you awake at night are seen as problem-solving opportunities, not blockages, by your subconscious mind, and that part of your mind then makes it so that you can fall deeply asleep and no longer suffer.
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.
Slightly different frequencies get played into each ear by way of stereophonic technology. Thus, the listener's brain waves are harmonized to the right frequency for lucid dreaming to be induced.
These perform by playing different frequencies to some extent in each ear. This results in relaxing the listener deeply and shifting their brain waves to the frequency that is just right for the occurrence of lucid dreaming.
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.
When binaural sound waves and hypnosis are used for preparing the subconscious mind it is very possible for you to experience lucid dreaming sooner.
