How To Have Lucid Dreams

By John H Kelvin

The condition of rest where your body sleeps but your mind is wakeful enough to know that you are dreaming is known as lucid dreams. Thus, it involves a person being aware that he is dreaming and involves him having full control of themselves during this time.

Thus, if you have the power to control your dreams, chances are that since childhood you have visited may places in the world, gone for strange adventures, had gala times with celebrities, acted as a hero to larger than life sci-fi events to save the world, so on and so forth. In short you have made all wishes of yours come true in your dreams.

Thus, when we come to think of it, don't you think that it is greater than any kind of computer games or play station games that we can ever come across? The mere fact that you know you are dreaming lets you do whatever you want to and live that experience knowing fully well that nothing can ever harm you or effect you in reality. You just have the time of your life while you dream and then go back to your normal life after waking up.

The two things that the lucidity of a lucid dream depends upon are those of the dream recall factor and the control factor. That is, the more you can recall the dream and the more you have control over it, the more your dream is said to have been lucid.

Lucid Dreams have been existent and something which people experienced since the early days. Records of monks undergoing dream yoga, even letters bearing experiences of such a dreaming experiences suggests that though the full fledged and focus study regarding this has been initiated quite recently.

The two types of lucid dreams can be stated to be those of the DILD and WILD denoting the 'Dream initiated Lucid Dream' or 'Wake initiated Lucid Dream' respectively. The DILD is more common and it is when you sleep and normally dream and thereafter know or realize that it is a dream. Moreover, this is pretty common in many people occurring in very less intensity. But in full light, it means that you dream first and then you come to know that it's only a dream.

WILD or Wake initiated Lucid Dream is when an individual only lets his body sleep having his mind in complete wakeful state. That is he passes from the wakefulness to the dream realm being completely aware and in control of themselves. A rare experience and an extremely difficult skill to develop, this involves people experiences loud noises, rough vibrations even distinct feelings of passing from one matter to another during highly intense WILD experiences.

Needless to say that WILD involves complete awareness and knowledge during the transition from wakeful to the dream state and involves the ability to manipulate and change the dream. Hence, this kind of an ability is extremely difficult to develop and involves thorough practicing of various techniques and gradually building up the strength over time in comparison to the DILD where it can be done comparatively easily by subconscious mind affirmations mainly.
