Lucid Dreaming Guide

A lucid dream is one in which the dreamer knows they are dreaming and can control their behavior in the dream landscape. This can be an emotionally powerful experience for people. Dreams have long been thought of as a way for the subconscious to communicate with the conscious. This communication is not always effective as dreams have a way of disappearing if we don't write them down. Occasionally our consciousness is not ready to deal with a subject and dreams can be too challenging or scary to deal with. When this happens lucid dreaming can help.

No doubt you have had the experience of being in a dream state and knowing that you were dreaming. Sometimes this can make the dream fun or less scary. When you know it is ‘just a dream' the events that happen feel more like watching a movie than real life.

And when this happens it is important to remember that you are in control.

There are many ways to get into a lucid dream state and the reality is, it happens unintentionally all the time. The key is to doing it with intention. One of the first steps is to start tracking your dreams. Write down the dreams that you can remember and make a conscious, intentional connection to that part of your subconscious. Once you start to reach out for a connection it will be easier to get into a lucid dream state.

Once you are able to learn how to lucid dream intentionally then you have control over the events. You might be asking yourself, great now that I have control, what do I do? The answer to that is; anything you want.

It is a good idea to have a goal when going into a lucid dream.

If you know what it is you want to accomplish then you have a better chance of getting into a lucid state. If you keep dreaming that you are being chased by an unknown assailant you might set a goal to turn around and see who is chasing you. When you have control over your dreams you can better understand that nothing in your dream state can hurt you.

When you are able to control a lucid dream you can ask questions and seek out answers to things you need help with in your waking life. A lucid dream is like a conversation between your subconscious and your consciousness. These two parts of you don't talk to each other very often because they don't speak the same language, but a lucid dream serves as a translator making it easy to talk, communicate, and get answers.

Dream Analysis: www.in5d.com Did you ever have a dream that seemed so bizarre that you were not sure what it meant? Our dreams are the gateway to our subconscious mind which can reveal a lot more to what is going on in our lives than what we can interpret from the dream. Our dreams are played out in metaphors because the reality behind these metaphors can often be overwhelming. For example, if an office manager is dreaming about his secretary opening and closing file cabinet drawers, then the act (and motion) of pushing a drawer in and out would represent this manager's inner desire to have sexual intercourse with his secretary with the metaphor of sex being the file cabinet. Another example would be a man who sees a building-sized tire about to roll over him. This dream doesn't mean something bad is about to happen to this man. The tire represents the stressors in his life that are overwhelming. As a Psychology major in college, I have taken an advanced class on the Psychology of Sleep and Dreams. As a child and family therapist, I have used dream analysis to help my clients overcome obstacles in their lives but recently, I have seen an interesting twist that has not been covered in dream analysis: metaphysical and spiritual interpretations. For example, in a typical dream analysis, climbing up a ladder usually represents a promotion or a new level of achievement but a spiritual or metaphysical interpretation may also indicate ascension or a DNA upgrade. I have also ...
