Lucid Dreaming Facts and Figures
Lucid Dreaming and Conscious Dreaming are one in the same. It is the awareness that you are in fact dreaming. In other words you are aware that what you are experiencing is occurring in a dream, while you are having the dream. Lucid dreaming allows you a particular amount of control that you do not have while dreaming normally.
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 is it as simple as it's being made to sound? Can just anyone know the power of lucid dreaming and make 'real' what otherwise is extremely difficult or even impossible given the natural laws of the waking world?
Well, as powerful as it is, lucid dreaming is really not that hard at all. But you do need fierce determination to condition your mind in the right way; you've got to want it.
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.
That's the prerequisite for learning how to lucid dream. Once you have it down, you'll start on Dream Recall. This means you will clearly recall the dreams you had the previous night. Without Dream Recall, you will never get to the level where you can do lucid dreaming.
It can be slow going to master this skill. The best way to proceed is with keeping a dream journal, sometimes called a Dream Recall Register. You write down your previous night's dreams as fully as possible. It's most effective to do this when you first wake up. In time, you will realize that you've trained your mind to be able to recall even the smallest details of your dreams. When you reach this stage, you are ready to make the journey into 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 when you start trying to practice lucid dreaming, you could find that you suddenly awaken from a dream--and then you'll find yourself able to recall that dream immediately. be All you need do at this point is relax and let yourself drift back to sleep, and you'll be able to enter that same dream and pick up right where you left off. Upon waking, you will now know that you have the great power of lucid dreaming coming fully under your control.
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.
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.
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.
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.
It is possible to experience lucid dreaming soon by listening to binaural sound waves combined with hypnosis to prepare your subconscious mind.
