If you are not quite sure what it is, Lucid Dreaming is actually pretty simple. Lucid Dreams are those where you are aware of the fact that you are dreaming while you are dreaming. How lucid exactly your lucid dream is depends on how much control you have over the events of the dream, how stable the dream is and how many of the events of the dream you can remember once you wake up from it.
The most important part of lucid dreaming, of course is the question of whether or not you have control over the things which are happening in your dream and to be aware that you are dreaming. You are in the director’s chair of your dream – meaning that you can have any experience you want in your Lucid Dream.
Just think about this for a moment. A Lucid Dream is like reality in every aspect; you can se, feel and use all of your senses, but with the knowledge that you are perfectly safe and can do literally anything you want. Lucid dreaming is a virtual reality experience far beyond the capabilities of any computer technologies to produce.
There is an increasing number of people who are trying out the possibilities of Lucid Dreaming for themselves. Most of us have a Lucid Dream at some point or another; but just think how amazing it would be if you were able to Lucid Dream any time you wanted!
A Lucid Dream offers you the chance to have any experience you can imagine. You can meet and hang out with your favorite celebrities and historical figures, have erotic experiences, visit other worlds, speak with a long lost loved one; anything at all! There are no limits other than your imagination.
Having regular Lucid Dreaming experiences is something which until recently it took months to achieve. People would spend as long as a year in training to have their first Lucid Dream – and it remained out of reach for some people no matter how long they tried.
Some Simple Ideas that May Produce a Lucid Dream
Some people report that certain foods can encourage Lucid Dreaming if consumed shortly before sleeping – Mustard, Orange Juice and dairy products among them.
Some other people have noted that pickles, ice cream, popcorn, and even fish have assisted them. These may not be as effective in aiding Lucid Dream occurrences. The idea that some people claim is that these foods containing high sugar, high fat, and even high acid content, prepare your brain for the session. They even claim that they prepare your brain to recall the Lucid Dream afterwards. The main issue is that these foods hamper the body and minds ability to produce restful sleep.
Can Technology Assist You?
Your chances to experience Lucid Dream session improves with the new advancing technology. There are now devices on the market that alerts you that you are dreaming and which can induce a Lucid Dream Session. These are quite innovative in that they are simply masks which monitor your eyes. When they detect REM or Rapid Eye Movement, which is an indicator of dreaming, a red diode blinks into your eyes. This beam is registered in your brain and serves as a reminder that you are in fact dreaming and that you are still in control. It is then that you can take control o the dream.
Even more exciting devices are coming to the market. One of these is a piece of sound wave technology. This has opened up a new realm for those whom desire a Lucid Dream. The process involves playing a different sound wave in each ear. This process is known as binaural beats.
Binaural frequencies can synchronize the hemispheres of the brain; as you listen, your mind reaches the state of REM sleep; which is necessary fro Lucid Dreaming to occur.
If you would really love to experience a Lucid Dream then this is for you. This is definitely one of the easiest methods and devices that assist in achieving a Lucid Dream.
