The term ‘Lucid Dreams’ literary means coherent or clear dreams. Thus, in simple words but difficult in concept, it refers to being completely aware of oneself during dreaming with the ability to control or manipulate the dream if desired.
When you are fully aware that you are dreaming and moreover can control your dreams, then the greatest thing is that you can do anything and everything in your dreams knowing fully well that nothing can affect you in reality after you wake up. Hence the ability of inducing lucid dreaming is one of the great gift one can be born with which gives him/her an out of the world experience.
This is the reason behind why inducing lucid dreaming is something which people are desperate to develop their skills in. In short it gives you the opportunity to live in a different world and enjoy out of the world experiences while your body sleeps. So if you want to give a hand to try inducing lucid dreams you can take the help of the five techniques mentioned below.
The first and the foremost step towards inducing lucid dreams is to be able to recall dreams. Many people dream and then forget after they wake up. In this case, even if you have a lucid dream, chances are that you’ll forget. Moreover dream recall with the help of a dream journal or an audio recorder develops awareness about dreams in general.
Secondly, WILD or Wake Initiated Lucid Dreams are when you pass from the state of wakefulness to the realm of dreams with absolute self awareness and control. The hypnagogic stage refers to the border of the conditions of wakefulness and sleep. Remember that if you can manage to be awake and conscious during this hypnagogic state then you can successfully pass into WILD. Techniques to be awake and aware during this stage involves activities like chanting, counting your breaths, counting stairs seeing yourself gradually ascending them, etc. the idea is to rest your entire body without losing focus in your mind so that your body can fall asleep with your mind awake.
Thirdly, the MILD or Mnemonic Induction of Lucid Dreams technique in inducing lucid dreaming involves continuously affirming your subconscious mind about remembering a particular object in your dream. In this way, when you actually see it in your dream your mind will note it down, in the process giving you the knowledge that you are dreaming.
Fourthly, mention may be made of the sleeping – waking exercise in which you sleep during normal hours but set your alarm and get up in the middle during a time when you normally enjoy intense sleep. Do something to keep yourself awake for an hour or so and then go to sleep again. In this way, waking up and sleeping at a time when you normally enjoy deep sleep gets your mind confused regarding whether you are actually sleeping or not. This can result in lucid dreaming when you go back to sleep again.
Lastly, the technological methods in inducing lucid dreaming should be discussed. These include the very popular binaural beats that involve hearing two different sound vibrations in each of your ears with the help of headphones. These different vibrations go on to fuse and synchronize with each other in your brain resulting in a mental state that is highly advantageous for inducing lucid dreams. Other technological instruments include special lights, dreaming masks, and the like. Whatever the technique that you choose, be sure that you go on affirming your mind to remember and be aware of your dreams, only then it will work and give you the much desired experience of your life time.
