Lucid Dreams


Lucid dreaming means that you are fully aware that you are dreaming. The state of Lucid Dreaming or "Lucidity" takes place in the middle of his or her dream. The dreamer fully understands that they just entered their dream and consciously knows its just a dream. Lucidity usually occurs when an alarm bell goes off in the dreamers mind when something doesn't pan out properly in the dream. Anything out of the ordinary such as "Flying" or "Floating" will cause you to enter in a lucid state of mind. Some lucid dreams just randomly happen without the dreaming knowing. Only a small percentage would lucid dream when they are in the state of returning back to Rapid Eye Movement (REM) sleep. There are different variations of lucid dreams, depending the dream we can receive either high or low levels. With the lower levels you are some what lucid, but not in complete lucidity. You would be aware that you would be floating or flying but not in control of your dream settings. Higher levels on the other hand happens when you are in complete control and have the ability to manipulate your settings. This is an exciting feeling that feels almost euphoric. Unfortunately with high levels of lucid dreams it would only last up to 2 minutes. People who practice lucid dreaming can experience as much as 30 minutes of lucidity.
Why Lucid Dream?: Basically the people who become fascinated with lucid dreams are the ones that curious on the subject, or have experienced a lucid dream first hand. They may not understand how they did it or how they arrived, they just want that rush again. Once in the state of Lucidity you have no boundaries or restrictions with super abilities. A common lucid dream is when your flying over the clouds and looking down like a bird. You are far from scared but extremely excited. The feeling you have when you wake up stays with your for the whole day. For the ones who never had the chance to experience a lucid dream would be more skepticalon the matter. Do to the lack of knowledge on this subject many people are naturally afraid to learn how to manipulate their dreams. What we do know is lucid dreaming has more positive benefits than negative, and causes now harm on the person.

Once you can convince your mind that its just a dream the fun starts. Stretching your awareness in your day will help you gain more control of your dreams.
