By tk | November 15, 2008
Scientists suggest that the average 60 year old is asleep for 20 of those years. But do those years have to belong to the land of nod? I am speaking of course about lucid dreaming, which is knowing you are dreaming while still asleep in bed. When you are lucid dreaming, there are opportunities to explore not only the dream, but also your foundations of reality.
Once thought to be the territory of only mystics and yogis, now we know that lucid dreaming can be learned by almost anyone. That doesn’t mean that learning lucid dreaming is easy; beginners should have a strong desire and commitment to learn if they wish to be successful. However, lucid dreaming is not for everyone, so let’s explore some traits of successful lucid dreamers.
Before anyone can learn about lucid dreaming, it’s important to be adept at remembering dreams. After all, how can you become aware you are dreaming if you don’t even remember your dreams in the first place? Luckily, remembering dreams is also a learnable skill for most people; all it takes is some patience, and a journal beside the bed to capture dream fragments after waking up. This is the first connection of many between the waking world and the dreaming world that needs to be made in order to succeed at lucid dreaming.
Also, successful lucid dreamers tend to have good balance in waking life; this is because awareness is related to having a grasp of where you are in relationship to the larger environment. Therefore, beginners will have better luck learning to lucid dream if they also have an ongoing exercise practice that develops their balance. Some examples are yoga, tai chi, gymnastics, and the martial arts.
Lastly, the beginners who will have the greatest success are those who also are working on becoming more conscious in their daily lives. There are lots of ways to build brain power during the day, such as gardening, having a meditation practice, playing competitive sports, and board games like Scrabble or Risk. Lucid dreaming isn’t for everyone, but if you can remember your dreams, develop your body’s balance, and keep a mind-development regime, you will easily find success in becoming aware during the dream state.
