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.
Lucid dreams can range from a romance, intrigue and even a fantasy. You can have any kind of dream when you are lucid dreaming. And your imagination is the limit to what you experience!
While normal dreams may make you feel that you are not in control, when lucid dreaming, you are in the controller's chair. At times lucid dreams can be so life like that you need to check whether it's a dream or the real world!
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!
Because your body has a biological need to sleep, your mind can remain in a semi-conscious state while your body is resting, which is what makes lucid dreams physically possible.
It can take awhile to learn the techniques of lucid dreaming if you have never done it, but it can be learned over a period of time with practice.
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.
This information is useful in dream interpretation since you are creating the actual dream, even though you are not fully conscious of the fact in lucid dreaming. Sometimes, it is a way we analyze hidden desires that are buried deep in the brain and make room for them in waking time.
You can sometimes continue the dream where you left off, if you wake up, recall everything you can about your dream, and go back to sleep. Lucid dreams have been found to have a pattern, so chances are you will be able to recall more each time as it reaches a conclusion to your liking.
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.
Mastering lucid dreaming is surprisingly easy, and you can always use techniques that help you recall or prepare your mind to recall what your lucid dreams were about, if you put your mind to it.
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.
