The Science Behind Lucid Dreams
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.
In lucid dreaming, you can get as creative as you want, almost living a dual life once you have mastered how to recall the dreams. You can be the star of a movie where you experience romantic fantasy adventures on a desert island or some action hero that saves the day in lucid dreaming.
The advantage of lucid dreams are that they are so lifelike that you may not believe you are really dreaming, but normal dreams can be scary subjects that are abstract and leave you with a bad feeling when you wake up, but you don’t remember what happened. Because you are more involved in the outcome of what is happening in lucid dreaming, the dreams are easier to control and remember.
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.
Someone you want to be with may be impossible in real life, but in a lucid dream, you where anything is possible, you can be sitting and talking with a loved one that has passed or a guy you saw at the subway station.
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!
Lucid dreams result because the mind is still conscious on some level, even though the body has a biological need for rest. Parts of the mind keep going whether in REM sleep or a semi-conscious lucid dream mode.
You can learn the ways and means to experience lucid dreams. This may take some time but it’s indeed a rewarding process.
Practice recalling what happened in your dreams and writing it down as soon as you awake, which makes it easier to remember. The dream will repeat its self at some point and you can add to it, if you do not recall parts of it, until you get a complete picture of the story that your sub-conscious is trying to tell you. Using this technique with lucid dreams can give you some insight to what the dreams are telling you or hidden ambitions.
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.
The dream will occur several times usually, so you will have the opportunity to recall more at a later time. If you awake a couple of hours early and lay in bed dozing, the lucid dream may start up again where you left off. You may predetermine that you will try to change how it goes without even knowing it.
If you wake a couple hours before your normal time, this is often when lucid dreaming happens, much like day dreaming where it seems you are awake the whole time, but you have actually been asleep.
Techniques, such as self-hypnosis can sometimes help you to recall vividly your lucid dreams, but many people find recalling lucid dreams easy to do.
You can sometimes put your mind into the mode of lucid dreaming using other techniques, such as binaural beats, which are a recent development in sound technology. By using sound waves to put parts of the brain responsible for lucid dreaming to work to instantly put you into the lucid dream condition and help you recall lucid dreams.
