WHAT IS A LUCID DREAM

Lucid dream is a dream in which a person is aware that he is dreaming. Normally, when a person becomes aware that he is dreaming, while in a dream, he wakes up from his sleep. But lucid dream is a dream where you can dream consciously even when you know that it is a dream. It means that one can control the dream scenario or dream characters at will. As if you were a magician controlling people and things. Lucid dream is also known as conscious dreaming. Let me tell you a fact. The population of our world is around 60 billion (6,000,000,000). But, there are just 1000 to 2000 lucid dreamers in the world. Actually everyone experiences lucid dream sometime in their life. But not everyone experiences this kind of dream frequently. You might be thinking what the benefit could lucid dream serve to up. First of all, I will tell you that the most interesting thing about lucid dreaming is that you can do anything in your dream. Anything which you cannot do in the real world because of the physical or the social laws such as beating your enemy or bringing down moon onto the earth can be done in a lucid dream. Yes, obviously it does not affect the real world in any way. But think of it like being in a virtual world similar to the real world where you can break walls; fly like a superman and blow your friend with a rocket launcher. The experience is not just like daydreaming but more than that. To be specific, it feels real, very very real, so real that your senses feel the same as they were in the real world and the brain neuronal patterns change as if you were doing it in the real world. You can control or modify the lucid dream scene and characters. You can do the things which you cannot do in real life like going to other planets and galaxy; beating your boss; diving deep into seas and oceans without breathing; seeing the future; going to Everest within a few seconds, etc. The possibilities are infinite, really INFINITE.

Just being or staying still in a lucid dream is very exhilarating and joyful. It’s like being in heaven. You can do any task or achieve anything in a lucid dream. The things which you aren’t able to do in real world, you can do it in a lucid dream. Whatever you can imagine you can do it in a lucid dream and it feels very real. Some people say it is more exciting to do something in lucid dream than in real life. You might have experienced a scary dream where the ghost in your dream feels very real and scary. You wake up screaming loudly. But actually it is just a creation of your own mind. Similarly, what you do in a lucid dream also feel real. When you touch somebody in a lucid dream you will feel like touching in the real world. Similarly, whatever you do in a lucid dream feels very real. Just experience it once and you will feel the difference, no! the big difference. At that time you will realize what I meant to say. From then onwards, your perspective towards the world will change. You will start seeing the truth, the REALITY.

Thank You,
Happy Lucid Dreaming
