Lucid Dreaming

Roughly one-third of our lives are spent sleeping, and a significant amount

of this time is spent dreaming. You have the ability to be conscious, awake, and

well.. lucid, in your dreams.

Lucid dreaming is dreaming while being aware of being in a dream state.

The term “lucid,” coined by Frederik Van Eeden in 1913, is used in the sense of

mental clarity. The basic definition of lucid dreaming is nothing more than

becoming aware that you are dreaming, of which many people have experience

of.

However, among these people, the amount of control and clarity varies

greatly. A low-level lucid dream is one where you know you’re dreaming, but

that’s it. In experiencing a higher level lucid dream, you have the power to

control, influence, and react to various events and contents of the dream.

For those who achieve the state of lucidity, the benefits are potentially

enormous. It gives you the chance to experience adventures unsurpassed in

everyday life. You can, literally, do anything you wish; the only limits you are

bound to are set by your imagination. Lucid dreaming gives us the ability to tap

the power of the unconscious, and subconscious mind, giving us a valuable insight

into our daily lives. By learning to make the best of the worst situation

imaginable, you can overcame nightmares and fears in the waking world.
