Lucid dreams are a good way for you to subconsciously control the outcome of your dream or some real life circumstance where you can test different solutions. During lucid dreaming, you are aware of your actions and can hear yourself speaking and seeing certain details that seem more real life than normal dreams. They are also easy to remember and control because you decide the scene, the actors and the script to play out the circumstance they way you want in lucid dreams.
There are no limits to what you can experience when you are lucid dreaming. You can be the star of a romantic fantasy novel, or high action adventure, you can control the outcome or change the endings to what makes you happiest.
The difference between normal dreaming and lucid dreaming is that you control lucid dreams, where normal dreams may wander randomly from subject to subject. You may even have to pinch yourself because they can seem so real versus normal dreams that may be strange, abstract and sometimes scary.
To check whether you are dreaming or not, all you need to do is trying getting something to read. If the words constantly change making reading absolutely impossible then you can be rest assured that this is a lucid dream.
The possibilities are endless when you are lucid dreaming and many people will dream of lost loves or other people that they wish they could be with, but it is impossible in real life because they are dead in real life, but alive in the lucid dream.
When you are dreaming and you know that you are dreaming all you need to do is change it. For instance you can dream about your favorite rock star falling in love with you and getting crazy about you. You can even choreograph your dream to the extent that your rock star talks to you, touches you and makes you feel loved. The only tool you need is your limitless imagination!
If you think it’s not possible to experience a lucid dream, and then think again. Yes, it’s true that the body needs relaxation and rest for the next day but a part of the brain can actually remain in a conscious state though the body is physically relaxed.
Lucid dreaming is more easily accomplished by some people than others although it can be learned over a period of time if you can learn to control your mind and be more aware of your dreams.
You can begin by recalling your dream. Recall the images and express and remember each miniscule detail as poignantly as you can. Your bedside table should have a pen and paper ready to record your observations and images. Initially you may not be able to recall everything. However, you don’t need to dwell on that. With practice your dream will repeat itself and that will enable you to completely record it. This method will help you to record all your lucid dreams and compile a manual which can be referred to when you want.
Writers will often use this technique to line up their next novel, using some of the scenes and characters from the lucid dream as the basis for the storyline. Lucid dreaming is a good outlet to channel your ambitions to come up with an action plan to make them a reality.
You need to try and bring to mind all the minute details you can and then try falling asleep again. Most of the times you will be able to return to the point where you left your dream and carry on from there. These dreams repeat themselves and each time your recall will be sharper than the last.
There are times when we just wake up before time and have nothing to do. This is a perfect time for lucid dreams. You will still be sleeping and dreaming but in your dream you can plan your entire day or plan whatever you want. It may look like thinking but in reality it’s a lucid dream.
Most people are amazed at the ease that this can be mastered with. Self hypnosis can enhance lucid dreams and help in a detailed accurate recall.
Recent developments in brain studies can help induce a lucid dream state. Some of these types of techniques use things like sound technology or binaural beats to stimulate the part of the brain required for lucid dreaming.
