Lucid Dreaming Techniques

What is lucid dreaming?
Essentially lucid dreaming is when you realize that you are dreaming while you are dreaming. It is when you are in a sleep state but you are conscious enough to be aware that you are dreaming and possibly are then able to control your dream. Some of us have experienced this before unintentially. However, to be able to control when you lucid dream can be quite difficult. There are techniques that can help with lucid dreaming and everyone is capable of achieving this fascinating state of conscious sleep if they want to.
Lucid Dreaming through Meditation
There are people who have achieved the ability to lucid dream through many hours of practicing meditation. It is true, I believe, that meditation can benefit us greatly in being able to control our states of consciousness. However this can take hours, days, months and even years of meditation practice. If you have the time and the willingness to put in this kind of dedication then by all means go for it and reap the rewards. For everyone else though I have another suggestion…
Lucid Dreaming through Binaural Beats
Have you ever tried using binaural beat recordings? I tried them for the first time a couple of years ago. At that time I really did not know or understand what they were or how they worked. They were recommended to me as a means of relaxing and putting the body into the parasympathetic state so that I could be calm, relaxed and sleep easy. Though I didn’t quite understand how the binaural beats worked I did notice that they worked on me instantly. In fact I was very impressed.
I have since learned more about binaural beats and know now that they can be used for achieving many different things including lucid dreaming.
How do Binaural Beat Recordings Work?
Put simply binaural beat recordings are when two different frequency waves are introduced independently to each ear. Our brain processes the frequencies and it then reacts by creating a third frequency which is the difference between the two. This third frequency causes a shift in consciousness. Different combinations of binaural beats can produce different frequency levels and therefore produce different results.
Binaural Beats offer a Quick and Easy Solution to Lucid Dreaming
Our brains are receiving and operating on different frequencies constantly. We are in the Alpha State (Awake State) when we are relaxed or being creative. We are in the Theta State when we are dreaming. Then we are in the Delta State when we are in a deep sleep.
To be able to lucid dream we need to:
- Go through the Delta and the Theta States but instead of waking up in the Alpha State we need to go back into the Theta State before waking. What then happens is that our conscious mind still thinks we are asleep but our subconscious mind is awake. Essentially we are tricking our subconscious mind into thinking that we are still asleep and once it realizes that you are still dreaming you will then have complete control over your dreams. It is fascinating stuff actually.
Binaural beats have been proven to work for lucid dreaming. The binaural beats will raise your frequency until you are almost awake and then take you right back down again into the Theta State. It will basically guide your sleep frequencies.
Using these binaural beat recordings has been shown to work best if used early in the morning. Once you have just awoken from a deep sleep, plug into your binaural beats right then when you are still drowsy and they will guide you right into the lucid dreaming state.
