Some Easy Lucid Dreaming Techniques
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 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!
In fact, lucid dreaming is not too difficult of an endeavor at all. You just need the drive and desire to learn this powerful method for bringing forth your innermost wishes. And, there are tried and true ways of mastering this power.
Before anything else, you've got to be perfectly clear about your objective for your own lucid dreaming. Is this just going to be your infinite playground, or is there some specific problem you want to solve through the power of the lucid dream? This is personal, but you have to be clear about it before you can move forward.
So, you have that clear as a bell's peal in your mind; now begins the earnest process of learning this craft, which begins in Dream Recall; that is, recalling a dream of the previous night's sleep experience. Even those who claim they 'never dream' can and must learn this before they can truly experience lucid dreaming.
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.
Now, Dream Recall, or remembering your dreams, can take a lot of time; but, you'll tremendously help yourself if you use a dream journal. Place the dream journal beside your bed, and when you wake up in the morning immediately grab it and start writing down everything you can about your previous night's dreams, starting with the one you were most recently having. Slow as it is, in time you'll realize you are progressing within this process, and becoming ever more able to remember your dreams in detail.
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.
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.
Lucid dreams can be readily induced by going back to sleep for a couple of hours after you wake up in the morning. These dreams are the closest to lucid dreams, because they seem to be borderline between actual dreams or your conscious thoughts manifested in anticipation of an event for that day. Just set an alarm clock to go off a couple of hours before you will be waking up for the day, then turn it off and go back to sleep to experience lucid dreaming.
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.
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.
Listening to binaural audios is one of the most reliable and fastest ways to have lucid dreams for many individuals.
Binaural audio recordings work in stereo; a different sound frequency is played in each ear at the same time, phasing the brainwaves correctly and inducing deep relaxation in the listener, opening them up to lucid dreaming.
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.
When binaural sound waves and hypnosis are used for preparing the subconscious mind it is very possible for you to experience lucid dreaming sooner.
