"So what's lucid dreaming all about?"...

Well, when you are having one, you are aware that you are dreaming, even though you are fully asleep...

"That's all well and good, but what the hell has this got to do with me?"...

It really depends. If for example, you haven't got a burning desire to improve your life, then maybe it might not be of interest to you. But, if you do, then it can certainly help fast track your way towards living your dream life!...

So, what has this type of dreaming got to do with you? A lot, and if not anything else, they can be great fun. But don't use that as an excuse to be sleeping all the time! ;-)

Direct your own Oscar winning film


image-files/clapperboard.jpgWhen in a lucid dream, you know that you're in a dream and yet, precisely because you know you're in a dream, you can largely control this dream! But...

With all of the usual dream state "rules". You know, the fact that linear time is non-existent and you can walk through walls, talk to dead people and cool stuff like that still apply ;-). But you direct all the action. Now, since you can greatly control this block buster movie, you can access the parts of your brain responsible for the dream state and use it to achieve some amazing things...
 
You see, we sleep and dream so that we can gain new insights gathered up in data by our non-conscious minds, and also so we can process new information or experiences from our 'awake time' hours that we haven't got time to fully process when we are awake and engaged in conscious activities and experiences...

Dreams of finding the way!


image-files/find_the_way.jpgSo, in lucid dreams, we can solve problems that have confounded us during the day, you know, like that "Eureka!" experience of sudden understanding that comes when you're no longer consciously thinking about something that you've been pondering for a long time, except this time, we work on the problem in the dream state itself...

This of course, enables us to have access to tools and resources we normally wouldn't, and lets us 'fold time' so that we can get things done in a way that we can't in our 'awake' lives...
 
This can have a very powerful affect on our 'awake' lives, because we usually don't forget these dreams, since we were aware of it when we were in them...

So, if we wrote a great novel in our dream, we can now 'really' write that same novel while we are awake! And while we still have to go through the physical process of typing it into our word processor, what we want to say is firmly in our minds already. In other words, we don't get eternally stuck on "Once upon a time..."

Become your own action Hero!

 
image-files/action_hero.jpgYou can do anything in your lucid dreams and still be perfectly safe. If you fight off demons and they get some cuts on you, you are still really safe tucked up in bed. And don't worry, when you awaken, you will be physically fine - you scaredy cat! ;-)
 
But seriously, what this means for you is that you can use your dreams to gain profound insights into how to change anything in your life. If you need greater self-confidence or to repair a low self esteem, you have lucid dreams to achieve it and learn how to bring it back into your waking life...

If you need to heal a relationship, you can do it in your dreams and then reenact it in the 'waking world'.

Moving Forward...


Lucid dreaming techniques must be studied and practiced, but they can be learned by anyone, including people who "never dream". Given time, you can be dreaming your way to new heights of success and happiness, while reclaiming the one-third of your life that you spend asleep and put it to some good use...
