Hii guys....! This is Tejas and today I came with a very unique Topic i.e. Lucid Dreaming
In this post I'm going to give you a little bit information about What is Lucid Dreaming.I am always interested in this topic from many years .I also read some books relating Lucid Dreaming and want to know you about this world of Fantasy.
So let's go in the world of Imagination...
✓What Is Lucid Dreaming ?
Lucid dreaming is the ability to consciously observe and/or control your dreams. Having consciousness within the dreamstate transforms it into a living alternate reality - where everything you see, hear, feel, taste and even smell can be as authentic as real life.
According to the dictionary, a dream is: A series of images, ideas, emotions, and sensations occurring involuntarily in the mind during certain stages of sleep.
Indeed, the French philosopher Rene Descartes found his lucid dreams were so vivid, he concluded that our waking senses are illusory and not to be trusted! The sheer realism of lucid dreams forces us to question the very nature of our waking reality.
How is this possible? How can our brains create such a solid, lifelike environment from complete fantasy, that is so vivid it could be confused with real life?
The answer is locked away in the secrets of the human brain - and one major clue is the fact that lucidity can occur at a higher state of consciousness (in the GAMMA range) than regular dreaming, and even higher than your level of conscious alertness right now. This is what creates the distinction between distant and fuzzy regular dreams - and vibrant and intense lucid dreams.
Oneirology supports the UNVTP hypothesis that dreams are a type of thought process. It is clear that for most people, we dream in an unconscious state and that most of our dreams flow from unconscious thoughts. It is only when we strive to maintain waking consciousness during sleep that we find we can change and control the content of our dreams. This is known as “Lucid Dreaming” and has been popularized by the movie, “Inception”.
As remarkable as lucid dreaming is, it is surprisingly overlooked and undeveloped by most people, but the times as always are changing. The lucid dreaming movement is gaining momentum. Once you learn how to do it, you will cultivate such a contagious exhilaration that you will be compelled to share it with anyone who will listen. I have never met anyone who has had lucid dreams and not expressed a deeply felt desire to have more. With such marvelous experiences available to us every night when we would otherwise be doing nothing but sleeping it is guaranteed to have a profoundly positive impact on your life. I project that at the current rate at which it is spreading that it will become a household word within a decade or so and it will become incorporated into our culture in about two decades or so. It is that phenomenal.
With mental focus, a conscious dream allows you to control your own actions as well as your environment and even other dream characters. In fact, if put to the test, there is probably no dream element that is out of bounds. However, this doesn’t mean you should aim to control everything in a lucid dream - that would be preposterous when you think about it...
With self-awareness in the dream world, the capacity for dream control is merely a novelty bonus. It becomes possible for two reasons:
1.The dream world is an imaginary creation - it is sheer fantasy, an illusory reality -- so there are no physical laws to stop anything you want from happening.
2. When conscious, the dreamer possesses the clarity of thought to guide their self-awareness through the dreamscape at will.
Many beginners assume that lucid dreaming must equal full dream control but this is a major misconception. Lucid dreaming only means to have consciousness within the dream state. This can imply dream control, or it can imply simply observing the dream world with the clarity of thought enabled by your heightened awareness. Both are very appealing propositions.
When we are in this virtual reality of a dream, we most likely will not know that it is a dream until we wake up. While in a dream, we most often assume it is “Reality”. If you practice lucid dreaming, you will probable notice times when questioning if you were actually dreaming or not was challenged by the overwhelming “Sense of Reality” that the dream conveys.
Dreams effectively put us in a trance like state to complete an “Illusion of Reality” that we assume is real at that moment of realization in the dream. In Lucid Dreaming there is something called a “Reality Check”. The reality check is a logical assertion that you are in fact dreaming. The reason why lucid dreamers assert this reality check is because when we are awake in a dream world, the “Sense of Reality” is overwhelmingly convincing. The reality check helps us logically break free of this trance like grip and free ourselves from the powerful illusion of dream reality.
