Liberation Through Lucid Living – Finding Consciousness Within the Dream
By Luke Sumpter
Guest Writer for Wake Up World
Lucid Living
When we become lucid in the dream state, we become conscious within the dream and this phenomenon ultimately gives the dreamer control over decisions they make within the dream. I believe this metaphor can be applied to the waking state also. When we become lucid in life, it enables us to take control of our own actions and we become more consciously aware, therefore increasing the quality of our lives and those around us.
There is only one piece of technology within the known universe that can present to us a situation that seems so real that we are only made sure of its authenticity after the experience has come to a close; this being the mind in the dream state. Although within a dream we often experience the events either from a first person or third person perspective, the entire dreamscape itself is a projection of the subconscious mind. We experience the illusion of being a separate entity within a dream, separate from other people we encounter and interact with, separate from the emotional and physical stimulation we feel. However, all experiences are an intertwined, intermingled projection upon the unified plane of the unconscious mind, just as all waves rise up from and fall back into the ocean; they are one and the same.
The state of lucid dreaming occurs when a person becomes conscious within the dream state, this enables them to take complete control of what happens within the dreamscape, enabling them to erect buildings, master the art of flight and all sorts of extreme and exhilarating phenomena using only the creative forces of the mind, the imagination, as opposed to when we dream unconsciously. In that state we are subject to the happenings of the subconscious mind and find ourselves out of control and a victim to whatever circumstances unfold. I believe both dream states to be beneficial and each have the potential to offer us many lessons and teachings, if analysed in the correct ways.
