Lucid dreaming is a mysterious activity that you can try out. Even though the nature of lucid dreaming is still unclear, its suggestive power remains strong and it can affect the dreamer in many ways possible. Through a lucid dream, you will be able to control your dreams and choose the outcomes that you want. To do this, you have to break the wall of your subconscious mind. Here are some powerful techniques that can help you experience the creative undertaking of a lucid dream.
Symbols of reality
By being aware of your existence on the realistic plane, you will become more in control of your dream process. A fine technique of being aware of reality is by focusing on a certain object of interest. This can be your favourite painting, item, or a memento from a friend. Feel the object and scrutinise every fine detail. Is this scenario real? Am I holding a real object that can be perceived through human senses? Am I not in a dream? These are some of the questions that you have to answer in your reality check.
If you do this every day, you will learn how to interact with the prime objects in your dream. This is because your mind has become accustomed to the recognition of your existence. From there, you can now forge the outcomes of your dreams.
Symbols of a dream
This technique is the opposite of the first because you will be recognising symbols in the dreaming process. Common symbols are flickering lights, a painting that shows slight movement, deformations, inconsistencies in design, real-life paradoxes, and even people that have already passed away in your reality.
In the art of dream interpretation, the interpreter must know how to interact with the symbols in a dream. Each symbol has a correlated meaning that can affect your actions and decisions in reality.
Dream journal
Instead of jotting down your dreams in random scratch papers, you can keep a small journal for your dreams. This will keep your dreams organised and you can even write any modern techniques that you have learned.
As your journal fills up with dreams, you can go over it and procure any meanings that can affect the different areas of your life. Moreover, reading about your dreams conditions your mind for any lucid dreaming endeavour.
Be tired enough
Some dream professionals have stated that if the body is tired, it will become more receptive to lucid dream states. After a whole day's work, you can complete your evening rituals to relax your mind. Once you are ready to sleep, lie down in your bed and continue thinking about relaxing moments.
As long as you do this in a continuous basis, you will enter a lucid dream state with relative ease. It depends on the presence of your mind and your commitment to dreaming lucidly.
Mnemonic Induced Lucid Dreaming (MILD)
The MILD technique improves your mind in recollecting dreams. To do this, you need to have a firm self-statement that you will remember every dream that will occur in your mind. The best way to remember your dream is to jot down every detail upon waking up. Before you drift into sleep, think heavily about your dream—re-imagine the details, feelings, potent characters, and the master emotion in the dream.
If you commit to this technique continuously, your subconscious mind will adjust to your presence in the dream world. This can help you control your dream up to a certain degree.
Wake Induced Lucid Dreaming (WILD)
If the MILD technique focuses on recollection, the WILD technique is all about familiarisation. It can also be called as an 'experiential technique.' Try to commit to a sleep not longer than seven hours. After waking up, try to think more about the existence of lucid dreams. Reading lucid dream articles can speed up the process. Jotting down your dream is also a very helpful option. As you fall asleep, embed in your mind the type of dream that you want to have. You can also continue the dream that you had experienced.
Externally Induced Lucid Dreaming (EILD)
The EILD technique requires the assistance of any 'dream device' that you can purchase in the market. Professional dream readers and psychics have created different websites about the usage of dream devices and their importance in inducing a vivid lucid dream.
The premise of a dream device is simple: it detects the Rapid Eye Movement (REM) stage of your sleep. After that, it will stimulate that stage so that your mind will awaken, but the body remains in sleep paralysis. Tones and LED lights serve as cues to help the client's mind determine that he or she is in the dream phase. The results given by any dream device may vary.
Consult a lucid dreaming professional
If you are having a hard time on your own, it is always best to consult a professional. By seeking advice, you will gain more information and advanced techniques on how you can take control of your dreams. More than that, the professional can show you the meanings of your dreams.
Once mastered, lucid dreams can help you understand several symbols in your life. Plus, it is a good defence against any nightmare borne out of your traumas and experiences.
