Lucid Dreaming or Conscious Dreaming is the art of being aware that one is actually dreaming. In simple words, while in dream, you are aware that all the events are not happening in fact, or �It�s Just A Dream!� kind of situation. There is certain amount of control you can exercise while lucid dreaming, which is not the case in normal dreams.
The power of having mastery over shaping the events of your own dreams is part of the very definition of the metaphysical. All of the normal dream-time rules, like “timelessness”, “teleportation”, and so on still apply: so, step into an existence where your usual limitations have suddenly vanished without a trace.
So, you ask, can it really be that simple? Surely not every single common person who wants to can experience lucid dreaming!
As a matter of fact, lucid dreaming isn’t all that hard, as long as you have a burning desire to learn these amazing, tried and true techniques of expressing your innermost desires.
Foremost, you must be absolutely clear about your objective in trying to master the art of lucid dreaming. Do you just want to have your own private playground in the form of lucid dreams, or there is some specific reason for developing this skill? Whatever may be the reason, it should be crystal clear in your mind.
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.
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.
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.
Now, you can get to lucid dreams more easily by simply going back to sleep a few hours before you intend to wake up for the day.
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.
Insomnia can be cured with lucid dreaming, too! If you can’t get to sleep when you put your head down on that pillow, all you need to is suggest to your mind that to sleep is to lucid dream, and you’ll find your mind will take care of everything and make it so you can sleep soundly.
Lucid dreaming can actually help you fight sleeping disorders, like insomnia. Whenever you are struggling to sleep at the normal sleeping hours, you just need to tell your mind that sleeping equals lucid dreaming, and your 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.
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.
Before the discovery of this system of binaural sound waves you could only achieve this level of relaxation by many years of meditation study.
If you combine listening to binaural sound waves, hypnosis and affirmations to prepare the subconscious mind, lucid dreaming can happen very soon after your first attempt.
