Harnessing The Creative Power of Lucid Dreaming
by Dylan Harper
Lucid dreaming can be a very powerful and enlightening experience. It can provide you with a shift in perspective, and help you become aware of yourself and the world around you at a deeper, more meaningful level.
What Is Lucid Dreaming?
Strictly speaking, lucid dreaming is a state in which you are halfway between sleep and consciousness. In this state, you are able to take charge and explore your dreamscape at will. You can control the scenarios that unfold, and add, or remove elements as you please.
You’ve probably experienced this at some point or another. Everyone is capable of having lucid dreams, though few can actually trigger them at will. Doing this requires a lot of training, and mental preparation.
However, this process of learning how to control your dreams can be just as rewarding as the actual practice of lucid dreaming. It helps you become more aware of the inner workings of your mind.
How You Can Benefit
Harnessing the power of lucid dreaming can help you reach new levels of self-awareness. Dreams are the subconscious’ way of trying to work through problems, and frustrations. They are an indication of your deepest desires, and your most burning needs. It can help you achieve higher consciousness.
When you are not in control of your dreams, the scenarios tend to unfold much like a movie. You can’t interact at will with the elements of your dream, you can’t experiment, and you can’t really change the story. Your subconscious mind dominates you.
Lucid dreaming allows you to explore, interact, and shape a whole world of boundless possibilities. Your imagination is truly the limit when it comes to what you can do in this universe. As long as you learn how to induce this state, and recover those experiences after waking up, you’ll have a boundless supply of creative energy all throughout the day.
