The Secret Life Of A Lucid Dreamer!
Many people have those dreams where you are conscious of everything going on around you and you feel like it is almost real life except for a few minor details. These are called lucid dreams. Lucid dreaming is usually a more realistic dream than normal ones that can turn into nightmares, because you are in control of the script and the outcome of these dreams.
When you are engaged in lucid dreaming, your dreams can be a fantasy, adventure or mystery. Anything you want. There are no limits to what you can experience!
The advantage of lucid dreaming over normal dreaming is obvious; you control your dreams! They can be so vividly real that you may even have to do checks to be sure that you are really dreaming and not awake.
In a lucid dream, there are certain details that might clue you into the fact it is a dream, such as colors, or items that don’t belong, for example. Much like sleep walking where the person appears to be awake, a lucid dream involves much the same type of feeling without being fully conscious of it.
You may be fantasizing about something that you really want badly, such as a promotion, or a new home. This may be impossible in real life, but in your lucid dreams where you control the outcome, you may see yourself already doing the new job and details of it, or vividly see you moving into the house you want to purchase, for example.
As soon as you realize you are dreaming start to change it, so that what you want to happen does. For example, imagine you are with the person you have been fantasying about, but now that person returns your smile, you get closer and soon touch. Just use your imagination to control your dream.
Lucid dreams can be brought about by simple techniques. While your body rests and relaxes for another day, your mind can be conscious.
