Your Ultimate Fantasies-Lucid Dreams!

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.

Lucid dreams can be anything. From a sci-fi fantasy to an adventure or a fairy tale romance, you can dream about anything. Unlike real life, lucid dreaming has unlimited possibilities. All you need is imagination.

Lucid dreams give you more control than normal dreams, which can sometimes turn into nightmares that you can’t seem to stop or control and may make you wake up with a helpless or scared feeling. Lucid dreaming may feel like you are awake instead of just dreaming.

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.

You can change your lucid dream to have the outcome you desire, or change the ending the next time that dream starts up again, since you are only limited by your imagination. Some see harmonious relationships when they are not so in real life, others may get the attention or promotion they were just turned down for in real life. Your lucid dream can make your desires attainable since it is only limited by your creativity.

Lucid dreams are very much possible. Though the body needs to revive itself for the next day by sleeping and resting, it is possible for your mind to be partly conscious.

Lucid dreaming needs some techniques which can be learnt by some practice and patience.

You can begin by doing some dream recall everyday. Each day try to recall the dreams that you had in the night. You need to remember them to the last possible detail. It’s a great idea to keep some paper and pen handy to record your dreams. In the beginning you may not recall all the details. That’s not a problem. However, with constant practice, you will find dreams repeating themselves. This will enable you to completely record your dream. Make this a habit and soon you will have all your dreams recorded and can refer to them when you want.

Lucid dreaming is a great tool for writers. You can actually dream about all the characters, the plot and the way you want your story line to move. You can use lucid dreaming for expressing all your dormant desires and manifesting them in reality.

If you have ever dozed back to sleep after you have awoken from a lucid dream, you may have experienced where you can almost consciously return to where you were before you woke up. When you re-enter the dream, it may be easier to recall if you forget some details or you may end up changing some of the details when you dream the second time around.

If you happen to wake up in the wee hours of morning, which is the perfect time to have a lucid dream. It may feel as if you were really awake and thinking but it was in reality lucid dreaming.

With practice it will become easier each passing day. Self hypnosis is also a great way to enhance your lucid dreaming experience.

Several other options, like binaural beats, for example have been used to help induce a semi-conscious state that resembles or can put the brain into lucid dream mode almost instantly by using sound waves to coordinate and stimulate the proper portions of the brain for lucid dreaming.
