What To Expect With Lucid Dreams

November 26, 2009

When you are the director of your dream and you know that you are dreaming then such dreams are known as lucid dreams. In lucid dreams the dreamer is aware of each and every thing he does and he does things that he wants to do. He decides who the people in his dream are, what places in his dream are and what the ending of his dream is.

Lucid dreaming allows you to be whatever you want to be in them, and share them with whoever you want, whether it is for a romantic getaway or an action packed thriller.

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.

One simple test is to try reading something. In a dream the words you see will keep changing, making it impossible to read properly. This is a sure sign that you really are having a lucid dream.

You may be having a fantasy about someone you want to be with. This may be impossible in real life, but of course anything is possible when you are lucid dreaming.

When you understand that you are actually in a dream, then you can direct your dream the way you want. You can be with the person you want and actually start to dream about the person falling in love with you, being with you and even marrying you!

Is it physically possible to experience lucid dreams? Yes! There is a biological need for the body to sleep, to rest and prepare for another days activities, it is a relatively simple step for part of your mind to remain conscious while your body is resting.

Learning how to have lucid dreams can take a lot of practice and some people may not be able to master it until they have gone through a long, slow process.

One way to invoke the lucid dreams is to try and remember your dream when you are awake. You need to make a supreme effort to remember all the minute details and happenings and images in the dream. Record it in your bedside journal and keep it handy for such entries. You don’t need to fret if you can’t remember every teeny detail. With this technique, it’s a matter of time when you will have the same dream again and then you can further add details to your observations. Soon, you will have a dream guide reference of your own with this practice.

Famous authors have used lucid dreaming to gather ideas for their next book or movie. Creating scenes, characters and the final ending is a large part in lucid dreams. Lucid dreaming is a way to get to know your minds inner thoughts and wishes because you are aware enough to pay attention.

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.

Waking up before your normal waking time may cause you to hit the snooze alarm and doze off a bit and this is the prime time for lucid dreaming. You may even think you have been awake the whole time, but you have been experiencing a lucid dream that seems very lifelike.

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.

Binaural beats is another shortcut which is a hi-tech development in the sound wave field. Here there are some unique frequencies which have the ability to put the two hemispheres of your brain in perfect sync with each other which makes your brainwaves resonate to them and you enter the state of lucid dreams in no time.
