The Secret Life Of A Lucid Dreamer!

Many people have those dreams where you are conscious of everything going on around you and you feel like it is almost real life except for a few minor details. These are called lucid dreams. Lucid dreaming is usually a more realistic dream than normal ones that can turn into nightmares, because you are in control of the script and the outcome of these dreams.

You can have all kinds of lucid dreams which range from mystery to fairytale to romance. The possibilities are endless and what ever you want can happen when you are lucid dreaming.

Normal dreams are not ones that let you control them, and sometimes take a turn for the worse, bringing out some of the worst fears buried in your minds, whereby when lucid dreaming, the dreams often seem so real and lifelike that you have a hard time distinguishing them from normal, everyday life.

A great way to find out whether it’s a dream or reality is to read a book, paper or magazine in the dream. Normally in dreams the letters are hazy and forever shifting and hence you can never read in a dream. If you can’t read then you sure are dreaming.

Lucid dreams can bring your deepest desires to life. What you can’t do in real life you can do it in your dream. If there is someone you fancy and they are unattainable for some reason in real life, you can be with that person in your dream. In your lucid dream that person can be completely yours and even kiss you and be with you.

You can change the dream so that what you want to happen is how it ends in lucid dreaming. By using your sub-conscious part of the brain that controls creativity and imagination to control your dream and picture how it would be if your dreams came true, a lucid dream can be a way to see that possibility.

Lucid dreams are physically possible due to the biological need for your body to sleep but your mind remains in some conscious level at all times, enough so to experience a lucid dream while your body appears to be asleep from outward appearances.

There are various methods to invoke lucid dreams which can be mastered over time and with constant application and persistence.

A good way to start is by trying to recall your dreams. Describe the images, from your dreams as vividly as you can. You can keep a pad and pen or pencil by the bed or lounge chair. Keep them handy so you waste no time jotting down your images clearly. If you don’t remember everything, don’t worry. When the dream repeats its self and it will, you will have an opportunity to finish recording it. Do this technique with all your lucid dreams and you will have a record to use as a reference.

There are many writers who use lucid dreams to their advantage. They use it to plan their books and stories. They like to direct scenes and characters and even decide their endings by lucid dreams. Many people use lucid dreams to do what they can’t in real life. Maybe you want to travel the world or marry a handsome prince; you can do everything in your lucid dream. Many people even use lucid dreams to achieve their ambitions in the real world.

Try to recall everything you can about your dream, go back to sleep and, if you can, return to where you were before you woke up and you will continue to dream. The dream will occur more than once, so you will have the opportunity to recall more each time it does occur. Recalling more each time you try.

There are people who use lucid dreams in the early hours of the morning when they wake up before their actual time. It feels as if you have been thinking and working plans but in reality it was a lucid dream.

Some people have learned self hypnosis to help them remember dreams or things hidden in their sub-conscious minds, but it is really easy to recall your lucid dreams, if you concentrate on it.

A recent development in sound technology can open the possibility for lucid dreaming to be possible. By stimulating certain areas of the brain, it has been proven to induce the dream state that is entered during lucid dreaming and can make it easier for you to recall your dreams.
