Being Aware While Dreaming Without Fear August 19, 2008
Posted by janey in : psychology of winning , trackbackMany people are interested to learn more about being aware while dreaming. The definition of lucid dreaming is knowing you are dreaming while still in the dream itself. However, there are many urban myths about this profound ability.
The biggest misconception about being aware while dreaming is that you can easily learn how to control the dream.. In actuality, most dreamers find they can focus on manipulating some dream imagery, but complete control is impossible. A better way to think about control in lucid dreams is that you have more self-control, and have the power to make choices.
Another myth about lucid dreaming is that if you die in a dream, you can die in real life. Not true! In fact, whenever a dreamer feels too threatened in a lucid dream, he or she has the power to wake themselves up. Even if you do experience a dream “death,” you are safe in bed and will only experience a quicker heart rate, if anything.
One last untrue story about lucid dreaming is that they are exhausting and ruin your good night’s sleep. In actuality, the opposite is true. Indeed, many dreamers say they have more energy the next day. Scientifically, most lucid dreams occur during the REM state, so your body is still getting the rest it needs.
So if any of these myths are preventing you from trying out lucid dreaming, now you know the truth.
