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 is nothing short of the metaphysical. Your limitations are lifted; you can do the “impossible”.
But this begs the question: can it really be so easy? Is this accessible to all? If it really is that easy why doesn’t everybody do it?
But the fact of the matter is, lucid dreaming is not at all that difficult, as long as you know what you’re doing. You really just need old fashioned determination and passion.
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.
Then starts the actual process of learning this art. Firstly, you need to learn a process, called Dream Recall, i.e., recalling a dream you had the previous night. Unless you remember a dream, you can?t achieve the stage of lucid dreaming.
The process is slow, but it can be achieved by maintaining a Dream Recall Register in which you enter as many details as you can remember about your dreams daily. Slowly but surely, you?ll realize that you can remember even the most vivid details of your dreams. Periodic reality checks during the course of dreaming will train your mind to be aware in dreams.
Many people have used hypnosis to dramatically reduce the time they need to train their subconscious mind to engage in lucid dreaming. Many times merely one of two hypnosis sessions permit one to consistently remember all of their dreams, so they are prepared for lucid dreaming.
When you begin lucid dreaming, you might suddenly wake up from a dream. But you’ll be able to remember the dream you were having in vivid detail. Just relax and fall back asleep, and you’ll be able to go back to the same dream and continue on with it. When you wake up in the morning, you?ll realize then that you have the the authentic power of conscious dreaming
Another great way to have lucid dreams is to go back to sleep for a couple of hours after you wake up in the morning. These dreams are the closest to lucid dreams as they leave you wondering if they were actually dreams or your thoughts manifested in the form of a purported event.
You may realize now that it?s extremely helpful to keep track of your sleeping patterns so you may find the best times to have lucid dreams.
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.
Up until recently learning the art of lucid dreaming was a time consuming process. However recent advances in sound technologies have made things drastically easier for anyone to experience lucid dreaming.
Many people are finding that the most reliable and certainly quickest way, of having a lucid dream is by listening to binaural audios.
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.
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.
By listening to binaural sound waves, particular when combined with hypnosis to prepare the subconscious mind, it is possible for you to experience lucid dreaming very soon after your first attempt.
