Lucid dream entry. How to learn lucid dreaming? The study of lucid dreams

There are many various ways awareness of oneself in a dream, as well as the achievement of "out-of-body experience" (OBE). The various terminology introduced by modern experimenters seems to be strained and redundant, and strictly speaking, the techniques for entering lucid dreams, as well as the techniques for entering the astral plane, are divided into two types:

direct transition from waking state to conscious dream(OS) or into the astral (lie down, sit or stand, and then immediately enter the desired state of consciousness);
transition mediated sleep (first fall asleep, and then do what you need).

First class technician may be of interest to those who are interested in how to enter a lucid dream directly from the waking state. For this you need enter a special trance state, which occurs in all people at the time of falling asleep. It is better to do this not before going to bed, but in the morning. If you sleep 8-9 hours, then set an alarm 3-4 hours before waking up. Then wake up and take a walk, for example, to drink water. This needs to be done so that drowsiness subsides a little. Taking a shower or coffee will be unnecessary, you do not need to wake up at all. Then lay down again on the bed, drop unnecessary thoughts. To do this, you can use the basic technique of clearing the mind.

Now start falling asleep, but you need to be aware. For this I recommend concentrate on the sensations of your body, on the surrounding sounds, but don't think what you see and hear, otherwise this thinking will pull you back into sleep. When you start hearing auditory hallucinations, remember that you want to achieve a lucid dream. It is especially important to remember this if visual images begin, since their appearance indicates that sleep has almost come. Do not move your eyes, try to catch the moment when the body is asleep, and your mind remains awake. You may not notice this transition, or you may feel some cramp passing through the body - in different people it happens in different ways.

Even if you fall asleep anyway, there's nothing to worry about - try again next time. Every time you will be everything easier achieve desired state. When you enter lucid dream, you can fulfill the previously set goals there: from playing situations in order to overcome some fears or temptations to exits to the astral plane and the like. For these purposes, you need to increase awareness in a dream. This can be done using the techniques used to enter a lucid dream from a sleeping state.

So, we smoothly moved to second class technician entering a lucid dream- from a dream. To do this, you need to remember yourself in a dream, remember that you are dreaming. At this point, it will be important not to wake up, although many do not have such a desire.

One of the most simple ways – inspire oneself that by all means you are aware of yourself in a dream. It is advisable to do this during the day every 30 minutes or at least every two hours. However, it is often enough to make the suggestion "I will fall asleep and realize that I am dreaming" right before falling asleep.
Another method is that during the day you trying by force of will to do something that is possible in the reality of sleep, but impossible in the reality of wakefulness. For example, try to change the color of the sky, the color of the walls, etc. with a snap of your fingers. If you succeed, then you will immediately understand that you are dreaming.
Third way: during the day remember that in a dream you should look at your hands. You can look at your hands during the day, wondering: “am I sleeping?”. After that, looking at the hands in a dream, you become aware.
Fourth method: speak about lucid dreaming, think about it, write comments and posts about lucid dreaming. Very often, after a little conversation or thinking about how to enter or how to learn lucid dreaming, people spontaneously in a sleeping state realize that they are dreaming.
And finally, I would recommend a method that logically follows from the previous one: write down your dreams right after waking up. Put a notebook and pen next to the bed, and when you wake up, write down what you managed to remember. If some details are forgotten, there is nothing to worry about. Try to grasp that image or thought that escapes and leave it. Soon she herself will come to mind, but if she doesn’t come, it’s okay. Over time, you will be able to remember dreams in detail, to draw up the so-called dream maps.

It is not necessary that every method will work for you. It is advisable to try them All and choose the most suitable one for you. In the end, there are thousands of other methods besides these, I have chosen those that are most suitable for me personally and, I believe, are most efficient for most people. So good luck with your practice, but always be careful. Realize yourself in a dream!

Falling asleep and having a lucid dream is one thing, staying in a lucid dream and increasing the realism is another. And also learn to "deepen the state" of awareness.

Technique - Listening

Its meaning is utterly simple - you need to listen to sounds that are of internal origin. Whether it is a faint noise that often stands in the ears after sleep or before it, whether it is the residual sounds of a previous dream, for example, music or someone's speech.

With proper listening, you can very quickly and effortlessly (which is why I love this technique) can be in the deepest phase if you use it after sleep. You will immediately feel it with all the fibers of your body, and for this you just need to listen carefully, carefully, concentrate on the sound, which at the beginning can be barely audible, but then almost always grows into a deafening roar. You can easily feel how this technique can, among other things, increase the vibrations.

In other words, this technique could be called - concentrating on phantom sounds. However, its application in the context of direct techniques is not as effective, but still often fruitful.

Technique - Reminder

Remind yourself in the OS that you are in a dream. Retention.

Technique - using vibrations

Increasing the vibration to the maximum - deepening and holding. Strengthen throughout the body when deepening; further, with the help of small new impulses, do not let the vibrations stop completely.

Rotation technique

It lies in the fact that at the first sensations that the dream is starting to disappear (colorfulness disappears, feelings are not so real, etc.), you must begin to rotate around your axis. The faster the better. After that, the plot may change. The picture may change. Sometimes it even happens that you wake up in your bed, do not forget to check if you are sleeping - because it can be false awakening(it seems that you have woken up, but in fact you are sleeping).

Technique - Concentration on the breath (in the body)

At the beginning of the OBE, while still in the body, concentrate on breathing to deepen the state.

Attention Concentration Technique

This technique is somewhat similar to the one described above. It lies in the fact that a person must focus his attention on one object (on himself, on the ground under his feet, etc.)

Technique - Feeling

Deepening and holding by feeling - just feeling everything around. Bed, floor, objects, yourself. If you feel thrown out of the OS / OTP, you can even try to cling to some object, as it were. :)

Technique by looking

Go deeper by trying to see a clearer, sharper picture. Hold on, looking all around. It is convenient to use hands.

The exception is not to look at the panorama.

Technique - Fall and flight

Falling upside down to deepen the condition. Jump straight down across the floor. Even if, at the beginning of the OBE, nothing is visible around and almost not felt, then soon, during the fall, sensations and vision begin to appear.

Flying also helps to go deeper, but to a lesser extent.

Technique - Stopping the internal dialogue

So that extraneous thoughts do not distract, and are not thrown into real life.

Technique - Fear

For the extreme. :)

Fear increases realism and the state itself.

Technique - Action

Do not stop, but move, occupy yourself with something, stopping immediately threatens to return to real life.

Technique - Visualization

The technique is especially popular among yogis who also practice lucid dreaming. Has two drawbacks. Firstly, when using it, you can easily fall asleep. Secondly, it requires a lot of patience and care.

Its meaning is simple: you need to imagine absolutely any object in your mind as clearly as possible until it becomes absolutely real for consciousness. It should not be confused with the technique of observing images, where you need to concentrate on the materialization of already existing images. In this case, you can do the same, but most often they concentrate on the same images, pre-planned. For example, these same yogis and Buddhists like to represent the lotus flower. The subject must be presented from all angles and angles in all details. In addition, you need to try to inspire yourself so that it becomes more real. This process can take a huge amount of time at first. Therefore, at the beginning, train with this technique in the evening going to bed, setting yourself the goal of trying to observe the object until it becomes real (that is, you find yourself in OS) or until you fall asleep.

It doesn’t matter if it doesn’t work out right away, but sooner or later, almost everyone succeeds in implementing the image, who spends the proper amount of patience.

Technique - Observation of images

One must try to see the elementary dots and spots that appear in front of eyes closed and which gradually easily pass into logical images, and then into whole plots. It must be remembered that the appearance of images in the case of this technique is very slow and it is easy to lose awareness. Therefore, in no case should you fully delve into the plot. So that the first images do not disappear, do not try to consider them. Do this only at a deeper position. As soon as everything becomes real, you will no longer have doubts about being in the OS. You can start making plans.

Technique - Phantom sensations

It consists in an attempt to gradually differentiate some part of the body, that is, in the separation of the phantom body from the stencil. Usually, a leg or arm is used as the starting material, but there were cases when, for example, the pelvis acted as this. With the selected part of the body, you need to try to make a phantom movement, which will not work right away, but you will notice a meager movement (although at first it is difficult even for an experienced person to determine the nature of the movement: is it real or phantom). Then you need to make another attempt to make this movement, in which the amplitude of movement will be slightly higher. And thus repeat this action until the amplitude becomes large. Moreover, you will not have to think about when to finish doing this, because at the moment strong increase amplitude, the whole organism falls under the vibrations and it becomes possible to disunite the whole body. Sometimes it is enough to swing just one finger in this way and the result will be the same.

You may once again have a reasonable question - what does ""phantomally stir"" mean? It is very difficult for me to explain this. I can only repeat that you need to try to make the movement without straining the real muscles. However, you will easily understand what I am talking about if you are in the right state.

Carlos Castaneda technique

This technique consists in the fact that when you feel sleep loss, you should look at your hands. Focus all your attention on your hands. As soon as the image of the hands begins to blur and disappear, you should immediately transfer your attention to some other object. Wherein central vision should be focused on the hands, and the side on the subject (object) of your choice. Continue the exercise until you feel that the dream is stable.

Hand rubbing technique

With signs of sleep loss, start rubbing your hands together, fix your attention on it, focus on it.

Try these techniques and choose the most effective for you.

Technique - Force falling asleep

Upon awakening, without moving and without opening your eyes, you need to force the desire to portray a quick, forced falling asleep for 5-10 seconds. During this process, it is imperative to set the mindset that there will be no falling asleep, but a sharp return to consciousness, after which there will be an attempt to separate. As a rule, after such a trick with the brain, the state of consciousness changes dramatically and strong vibrations can occur on the ascent from the “pseudo-sleep”, or it will be easy to separate.

Forced sleep, in fact, is a trick of the brain. It reflexively reacts to the actions of a person and quickly introduces him into sleepy state, which is easy to use to enter the phase. It is especially effective to apply this when awakening too brightly or after a movement was accidentally made during awakening.

Implemented force falling asleep quite simply. Need to disable internal dialogue, move away from external stimuli and just want to fall asleep abruptly, but after a few seconds come to your senses again. To understand how this is done, it is enough to remember how falling asleep against the background severe fatigue or prolonged sleep deprivation.

The most common mistake lies in the fact that people fall asleep by doing the technique too actively and simply forgetting that it is possible to fall asleep that is not planned, for real.

Technique - Brain Tension

Upon awakening, without moving and without opening your eyes, you need to do 2-3 compressions, tensions of the brain. If nothing happens, the technique needs to be changed. If vibrations arise during this, they should be strengthened and moved through the body by the same tension of the brain. The stronger the vibrations, the more likely it is to separate or spontaneously eject from the body. In addition, noise may occur, which can also be used.

Vibrations on sensations cannot be confused with anything. If a person doubts whether he experienced them or not, then, most likely, he did not experience them. In perception, they are similar to a strong, non-painful current passing through the body, severe numbness the whole body at once, a strong compression of it, or all of this at the same time.

A lucid dream is a special atypical state of consciousness in which a person understands that he is dreaming, and can also partially control the dream, forming the details, events and actions of the dream at his own discretion. How to cause this state on your own and learn how to control it, prolonging it as much as possible unusual sensations? You will learn about this and much more below.

What is a lucid dream and how does it manifest itself?

For the first time, the theory of lucid dreaming was put forward by Frederic var Eden at the turn of the 19th and 20th centuries. He described in detail the characteristics given state and also tried to explain it.

By the end of the 20th century, this theory began to be tested with scientific point of vision - Japanese scientists have advanced the farthest here, thanks to numerous tests, they have revealed the phenomenon and fixed it in hardware.

Lucid dreams, in which a person understands that he is sleeping, and also partially or completely controls him, creating his own images, actions, forming events, occur during a smooth transition from wakefulness to the phase REM sleep and vice versa. This process is not mandatory - in most cases, a person simply falls asleep and does not go into a borderline state.

Physiologically, there is a gradual relaxation of all muscle groups and an increase in vigorous activity brain. Its alpha rhythms increase significantly and increase in frequency, while beta and components practically disappear, gamma rhythms lengthen the amplitude. The dorsolateral region of the prefrontal cortex is activated, which does not manifest itself in any way during normal sleep.

It is known for certain that it is almost always possible to get into lucid dreams in people who have experienced sleep paralysis - muscle atony before falling asleep or immediately after waking up. Dreams in this case are very vivid, but often disturbing, sometimes with attacks of fear and nightmares.

Where is lucid dreaming used?

A lucid dream is a unique tool for modeling a wide variety of situations in the long term. Undoubtedly, it can be used as an application in the future in a number of situations:

Psychotherapy. A promising complex of psychotherapy sessions using lucid dreaming can be useful for people suffering from a wide variety of phobias and fears. Flights in a dream, the formation of self-confidence in any situation, other plots can become a powerful motivator for recovery and healing;
Game aspect. controlled dreams in the medium term may become the main full virtual reality, where there are no restrictions;
Brain Research. Separate theories and hypotheses point directly to the hypothetical prospect of expanding the possibilities of using the brain in humans. Lucid dreaming can be the "key" to control psychic abilities, increase the analytical and memory functions of the brain exponentially, give other, previously unexplored knowledge and skills.

Lucid dream training

Official science and medicine do not have at their disposal reliable methods for managing a lucid dream and methods for guaranteed immersion in such a borderline state.

Nevertheless, for many decades, active searches have been conducted in this aspect. A number of independent researchers are achieving a significant increase in the frequency of lucid dreaming in a practical way.

Training periods vary greatly. wide range and depend both on the specific methodology and on the personal data, qualities and knowledge of a particular person.

The furthest thing in understanding the mechanisms of adaptation of the body to the independent invocation of lucid dreams on this moment advanced Stephen LaBerge - his " Institute of Lucid Dreams"offers people both free advice and paid individual or group courses with a personal trainer.

This article is often read:

There are many ways to get into a lucid dream. Most promising areas considered:

Special focus. Reading relevant literature, concentrating on certain abstract images;
Reception psychoactive substances . Herbal and synthetic preparations can contribute to the appearance of a borderline state in the process of falling asleep;
rituals. Certain sequential actions, repeated constantly;
Sensation Stimulation. Potentiation of tactile and vestibular images with an emphasis on the process of falling asleep;
Hypnosis. The most pragmatic tool that is partly used for lucid dreaming practices even now.

After a person has been able to consciously evoke a borderline state several times, it is necessary to consolidate the effect, keep a diary of the dreams you form, come up with promising scenarios for future dreams with clear, consistent actions that facilitate their control and increase their duration.

The main ways to enter into a lucid dream

Below are well-known practices of lucid dreaming that help a person with more likely learn this process. However, it should be understood that you most likely will not be able to enter a lucid dream the first time, and you will have to train long time.

Association principle

Its basis is the development of habits, a clear associative series that allows you to check reality and understand whether you are in the state of wakefulness or sleep. During the night time period during conditional wakefulness, ask yourself if you are sleeping or not.

Follow the details– with a lucid dream, any changes in the virtual space-time are possible. So, the clock on the wall can move in jerks, and some physical laws are not observed at all.

Try to compare reality and dream. Remember the sensations when entering a lucid dream - this will help you build an associative array and immediately concentrate on the process. Look at your hands, try to hold your nose and mouth and try to breathe - if there is no lack of air, then you are in a dream.

An alternative variant of the associative series is the use of a background voice. The phrases “You are sleeping” and “This is a lucid dream” can be repeated both by a live voice of an outsider and a pre-recorded audio stream in the form of a file. Its volume should not be large, so that the procedure for falling asleep is easier.

Self-tuning

Self-tuning or mnemonic method implies the use of phrases memorized and memorized to automatism, actions that are tied to the inclusion of awareness in the process of sleep and contribute to the development of this habit.

Phrases or rituals can be anything. For example, “I will realize that this is a dream” and at the same time mentally program myself for a certain action. Self-adjustment is conveniently and functionally complemented by the method of associations with a reality check.

Having perfected a phrase or a short phrase to automatism, looping it in the subconscious, use this "anchor" to call the borderline state every time before falling asleep.

Shavasana - corpse pose

Shavasana in the general sense is a classic completion practical exercises yoga, a period of relaxation and rest. Under certain circumstances, this practice can effectively lead to a lucid dream.

According to experts in this field, Shavasana can be carried out without pre-training and performing other asanas, which greatly simplifies the technique and reduces it to basic set actions.

In specialized literature, Shavasana can also be called a pose. dead body or mritasana. It is not recommended to use it for pregnant women and people with disorders of the musculoskeletal system.

The technique of performing the procedure includes a number of actions:

Creating an atmosphere. It is necessary to provide a dim light, complete silence, spread a blanket on the floor and lie back on it;
Position. The forehead should be in line with the chin (put a small flat pillow under the neck to facilitate the process). The loin is in full contact with the horizontal surface;
Relaxation. Close your eyes tightly and start breathing through your nose. The tongue is as relaxed as possible, the body too (as if spreading over a horizontal surface, no tension and resistance). Inhale-exhale light, weak. Rib cage smoothly rises and falls. Feel your body as much as possible, if there are tense areas - relax, imagining that the breath passes through them;
renunciation. Stop concentrating on your breath, just watch it as if from the side, do the same with any thoughts that arise in your head. Do not try to suppress emotions (if any arise), but simply do not notice them;
Immersion. Imagine that the whole body with thoughts and emotions is immersed in water, gaining the calm of the ocean. Thoughts are the waves of the surf, easily rolling on the shore, there is no fear of the elements, a person merges with the water world.

Above, the main stages of entering the pose of a dead man are presented. With classic Savasana final stages there is a gradual exit from the state, with the process of concentration on the breath, however, this is not necessary to enter a lucid dream.

Continue the practice of absorption and detachment for as long as possible., stay alone with the subconscious and consciousness, and then release the latter into “free swimming” - it will go into a borderline state and a lucid dream will arise.

Mask for Lucid Dreams

Modern research in the field of sleep control has led several private companies to create a gadget that helps a person enter a lucid dream. Such devices, technologically complex, are a kind of simulator that combines the methods of self-control and associations.

The mask for lucid dreams outwardly is a wide deaf bandage on the face, completely covering the eyes. Inside it is a set of LEDs, micro-speakers, boards and sensors. How does it all work?

During the transition from wakefulness to REM sleep, eyeballs a person begins to involuntarily move quickly under closed eyelids - this side process their relaxation. Motion sensors installed in the mask register this process, after which they transmit a signal to the LEDs or micro-speakers.

Accordingly, during the initial phase of REM sleep, a regular soft light or sound signal. The brain that receives these peculiar “cues” associates them with the dream.. So, not seeing the source of sound or light, but perceiving them, a person can understand that he is not in reality, but in the process of sleep, and accordingly control it.

As practice shows, it will not work to enter a lucid dream the first time using this gadget - some practice and time are needed. But after the first sessions, people see more memorable and colorful dreams, sleep better.

When the owner of the device gets used to the device, will connect additional methods described above, he will be able to see lucid dreams every night.

Other Methods

mental planning. Make up the maximum detailed plan your future dream, saturated with emotions and actions. Try to learn it, and not only verbally, but also at the subconscious level. In the process of falling asleep, he imagines himself at the starting point of the future dream (with the designation of a specific location);
Working with pseudo-real images. In the process of falling asleep, try to imagine a variety of abstract shapes, concentrating on their details. Mentally rotate them around the longitudinal axis. At the same time, listen to white noise in the head (it occurs during falling asleep as a pseudo-irritant at the border of sensory perception) and intensify it as much as possible, try to mentally move the selected part of your body without muscle tension with increasing amplitude;

mental representation the real thing . Before going into a borderline state with your eyes closed, try to imagine hands in front of you, in one of which the real thing is manifesting (you should use it very often). The simplest example is mobile phone. Try to feel and feel its reality, pressing keys or taps on the screen;
Electromagnetic stimulation. The innovative method is a direct influence on the waves brain activity. During the phase of REM sleep, the frequency and intensity of alpha rhythms increase significantly, the human brain begins to stimulate electromagnetic waves frequencies of 30-40 Hz, which correspond to gamma rhythms, in fact, the process of wakefulness. In most cases, the dream becomes lucid, and the person enters the pre-awakening phase.

What technique is the fastest?

There is no unequivocal answer to this question - the speed of entering the borderline state and the time period for maintaining a lucid dream depend on the abilities of a person and his fitness.

The best option for mastering the technique of lucid dreaming as quickly as possible is to use two or more techniques simultaneously. The most popular combinations of lucid dreaming techniques for beginners usually include association and self-control, as well as work with pseudo-real images and electrical stimulation.

It is wise to try a variety of options - for example, a combination of individual yoga exercises (Shavasana) and the use of a special mask when going to bed.

The study of lucid dreams

Lucid dreams began to be studied from a psychological and scientific point of view as early as the late 19th century, but a qualitative leap occurred only in the early 2000s - it was then that large-scale experiments were carried out to identify all the features of the borderline state.

It has been scientifically proven that in a certain time interval of the REM sleep phase, the human brain works atypically: the dorsolateral section of the prefrontal cortex of the brain, usually responsible for consciousness, quickly activates, its alpha rhythms partially coincide with the gamma component - the patient sees a lucid dream and can control it . This process usually lasts from a few seconds to 15 minutes.

The modern leader in the study of the processes of such dreams is Stephen LaBerge, as well as a number of followers (Allan Hobson, the Max Planck Society, Patricia Garfield, etc.), under the auspices of the International Association for the Study of Dreams. In Russia, only a few enthusiasts deal with the issue - for example, Mikhail Raduga.

Thanks to modern equipment, scientists have accurately identified the signs of a lucid dream and even learned how to commute with the dreamer. The next promising step is awareness underlying causes borderline state and the development of a universal reliable method for controlling entry into a lucid dream.

Are there differences between lucid dreams and out-of-body experiences?

In the modern interpretation, there is no difference between these states - they all form in the REM phase, are potentiated by the same methods, and are associated with a partial cessation of information entering the brain through classical sensory channels.

The difference is noticeable only for a person experiencing such border states- if a lucid dream, as a rule, brings pleasure and delight, then the illusion of leaving the body is often frightening and occurs against the background sleep paralysis. Despite this, "out of body" is still considered a variation of lucid dreaming.

Lucid dreaming is an exciting and interesting phenomenon when a sleeping person is clearly aware and understands that he is dreaming. In this case, all events in a dream are controlled and completely subject to the one who sees the dream. This is the main difference from ordinary dreams, where a person acts only as a spectator and cannot influence the unfolding of events in any way.

Many people confuse lucid dreams with the astral, but they are two different things. However, it is through lucid dreams that one can easily get into the astral plane, into an even more exciting world. There are many methods and techniques on how to realize yourself in a dream. And everyone chooses the one that resonates with him the most and works well.

Lucid dreaming practice

For those who practice lucid dreams, the practice of entering the astral will no longer seem like something transcendental and incomprehensible, which is why it is advised to start with lucid dreams. One of good practices for awareness in a dream, is the developed habit of checking all the time and asking yourself: “Am I dreaming?”. You can start doing this right now in real life, and after that the habit will be transferred to sleep. This is considered one of the easiest ways.

And of course, who wants to see lucid dreams every night, practice and perseverance should come first. From the first time, few people succeed in becoming aware of themselves, but then it becomes almost automatic. For some, this will take a matter of days, or rather nights, and for some, months or years. It is important to set an intention, then it will definitely turn out.

There is also such a technique of lucid dreaming as falling asleep after waking up. To do this, you need to set an alarm clock in such a way as to wake up in five hours. After the alarm wakes you up, do not immediately try to fall asleep again, but remember and analyze what you dreamed about before and try to plunge into that interrupted state.

This lucid dreaming technique is very helpful, especially for beginners who want to quickly become lucid. There are other techniques, so you can easily choose what will work for you for sure. But no one forbids you to create your own techniques, using your imagination and practical experience.

Books about lucid dreaming have been published massively in the last 10-15 years, when interest in this phenomenon has increased significantly, when a person began to strive to know himself and his essence.

And in books you can read not only the techniques of lucid dreaming, but also reviews of practicing authors, tips and even warnings. In general, you can learn from the mistakes of others. You can read about lucid dreams in detail in one of the books of Carlos Castaneda, in which there is a very unconventional opinion in general about the world of dreams, which cannot but interest the reader.

Stephen LaBerge devoted a lot of time to such a topic as lucid dreams, whose books are known all over the world. This book is called Lucid Dreaming.

Some may wonder: “why do I need all this? Why have lucid dreams, you can get by with simple ones? However, if you experience such dreams a couple of times, then simple dreams you will find it boring and uninteresting. After all, the world of lucid dreams knows no boundaries or boundaries.

Everything is possible there, and it is limited only by your own desire and intent. Having studied this process subtly and carefully in dreams, one can transfer, project it into life. This is what Vadim Zeland writes about in his books on reality transurfing. That is, with the help of lucid dreams, you can learn to create reality yourself, and the dream in this case will be like a draft.

Also, the world of lucid dreams promotes travel to any space and any time. There are no boundaries, it is so captivating, because you can survive so different condition, while the experiences will be difficult to distinguish from real ones. In lucid dreams, you can ask any question and get an answer instantly.

Many people diagnose the state of their body in this way. And what can I say, because a dream is a conversation with the soul, and it's nice if this conversation is remembered and used for good. This powerful tool not only for self-knowledge, but also for the spiritual development of the individual.

IN Lately many began to study lucid dreams, how to enter this state, how to then go to the astral and out-of-body experience. Forums are being created with numerous users to exchange experiences, techniques, and tips.

Many advise keeping a diary to write everything down right during sleep or immediately upon awakening. Thus, you can analyze a lot, and the brain will receive instructions. He gave and gives a lot of information to everyone who wants to practice lucid dreams, how to enter whole line a technician for beginners, and who has been in the subject for a long time, is Mikhail Raduga.

For many, Mikhail Rainbow and lucid dreams have become almost synonymous. Ten years ago, or so, he was so inspired by his lucid dreaming that he decided to tell the whole world about it, and most importantly, teach this process how to more people, which he does well.

They were taken off documentary several books have been written on this topic, there is a fairly popular website of its own, hundreds of thousands of people who want to learn from their own experience what lucid dreams are and how they can be used in your life are inspired by its example.

Mikhail Raduga presents lucid dreams and exit techniques in different ways for beginners and those with experience. Therefore, on its resources, everyone can find something interesting and understandable for themselves. It can be seen that a person loves what he does and shares it with joy.

Mankind has long been interested in lucid dreams, but until recently they were not studied by anyone and remained something unknown, incomprehensible and even strange. Today's practical studies and the studies of experts provide us with much information about this extraordinary phenomenon. Lucid dreaming is attracting more and more attention, because it turns out that this state is controllable, and you can enter it yourself. Special training will help you achieve any results in a dream, realize your plans.

Lucid dream - what is it?

Conscious dream - a dream in which a person knows that everything that happens to him is virtual, he understands that he is sleeping. Being in such an altered state, a person can easily control his actions, for example, transform into a movie character, easily fly and jump from rooftop to rooftop, accomplish the unattainable in real life. It all depends on fantasy and unresolved problems in reality. Immersed in a lucid dream, people experience what is happening very emotionally. Sensations and feelings seem completely natural to them. There are whole teachings about similar conditions. They say that lucid dreams and out-of-body travel anyone can survive.

How Lucid Dreaming Is Used

In fact, a person knows much more than he thinks. After all, the subconscious of each of us has huge resources. Our dreams are the work of the subconscious, and if a person learns to communicate with him, then new opportunities will open up for him. By working in this direction and improving, you may even be able to become a pioneer. There are many stories when people in a dream came up with something or found a way out of difficult situation. The main thing here is to at least remember the dream.

Fighting fears

If a person is afraid of something or suffers from phobias, he is not sure of his abilities, then by plunging himself into a lucid dream, he will be able to model an action plan, learn how to behave correctly, master fears, emotions and actions. Learning to control myself difficult situations during night dreams, he will easily transfer this experience to everyday life, and it will be much easier for him to act in reality.

Many psychotherapists suggest that their patients play difficult life scenes in a dream several times. Finding it difficult to complete a responsible task in real life, you can “rehearse” it in a dream. There a person will give Special attention their feelings, reactions and all the details of what is happening. A well-designed dream will help you prepare for business meetings, interviews or exams.

A lucid dream lasts about five minutes on average. Therefore, in order to achieve a good result, it is necessary to learn how to be in this state for a long time. Moreover, lucid dreams are not so frequent as to be spent on fighting your fears. It is better to deal with phobias in reality, the only way to get rid of them for sure.

Lucid dream as inspiration

With the realization of dreams, you can see a suitable theme for the picture, find inspiration for new works and plots for poets, inventors will be able to model new model or get hints for your creations.

Scientists have found that it does not matter to the brain where the physical action with a person - in a dream or in reality. When processing information, the brain can form new neural connections. It turns out that the theory of the intended action can be worked out in a dream, but practical skills will still have to be obtained in reality. The sleeper is able, for example, to juggle perfectly, and the skittles themselves can fly, since the laws of gravity are somewhat different there. But muscle memory cannot be deceived.

In a dream, significant people or wise men can meet. The conversation is not with real people, and smart thoughts and a person receives instructions not from someone, but from himself, from his consciousness.

Projections of the subconscious

Lucid dreams and out-of-body travel can be combined, because in this state it is easy to get into the most remote corners of the planet and even the galaxy. The human mind will simulate any environment - from the roof of a skyscraper, to London parks, to moonwalks. The main thing is not to forget that if you find yourself on the ocean, everything you see will be only a projection of the subconscious, which will be based on general knowledge about this area. For a long time forgotten by man the information is automatically reproduced by the brain.

Great entertainment will be high-speed flights or trips. Get adrenaline in a dream from racing, be inside spaceship, to feel the excitement of what is happening, and most importantly - to develop actions according to your own scenario, to realize that you are the main character - all this will cause real euphoria.

One of the main useful properties lucid dreams can be safely called the fight against nightmares. Those people who are greatly disturbed by night terrors are advised to develop the ability to realize dreams. Indeed, at the most terrible moment, one has only to understand that you are sleeping - and all nightmares will turn into comics. It will be possible to overcome all the monsters, villains and other enemies without much effort.

When Lucid Dreams Occur

They may appear during rapid eye movement in the process. When they start to move in different sides, a person sees a dream. Movements appear at completely different moments of this action. Thus, it is possible to realize a dream several times a night.

There are five phases of sleep. The first occurs in the first 5-10 minutes of "falling asleep", when the body enters a state of rest after being awake. The person may not yet be aware that he is already asleep. Then comes the second phase. This period is characterized by unconscious muscle twitching and general relaxation of the body. The next (third and fourth phases) are characterized by too slow activity of waves in the brain. These periods are deep dreams. At such a time, it is very difficult to wake a person, and the awakened person will feel weak and will not immediately adapt to the environment.

The first four phases last for two hours (moreover, several times each, we will talk about this below). Then comes the most important - the fifth, in which a person is able to dream. eye movements last from 10 to 30 minutes, at which time the brain is most active, blood flow to it increases, and we are able to dream. At the same time, the muscles are immobilized so that they do not walk or jump in a dream. The brain studies the subconscious, analyzes the available information and independently creates for a person his own inner reality.

Interestingly, when falling asleep, a person goes through the first, second, third phases, and after the fourth, he returns to the third, second. Only then comes the fifth - rapid eye movement and sleep. Such a cycle can take place several times during the rest, but it is not constant. During the night, the time of the third and fourth phases is reduced, when the fifth increases to an hour. This means that a person can experience lucid dreaming up to 5 times per night.

Many are afraid to enter such states, but practice shows that there is nothing difficult and scary here, on the contrary, it is very exciting. Scientists different countries I tried lucid dreaming myself. How to enter it, they set out in their many works. You just need to figure out what is needed for this, and follow the prompts step by step.

Lucid dreaming in 7 days

Bradley Thompson is the world's leading expert on methods of influencing the human subconscious. His designs are used all over the world. By studying and researching dreams, he developed step by step diagram how to enter a lucid dream in seven days. Following his instructions, some people achieved excellent results much earlier.

The technique of lucid dreaming of the first day involves familiarizing a person with general information about dreams and recognizing oneself in it.

How to recognize yourself in a dream

For many beginners in the practice of lucid dreaming, a logical question arises: “How do I understand that I am not dreaming?” There are ways to enter lucid dreams. Practice has some of the most precise actions that need to be done to make everything clear.

Look at your palms. If they are clear and the lines are clearly visible, then this is not a dream. If the palms are poorly visible, then the person is sleeping.
You need to try to find a mirror in a dream and look into it.
Gotta try something.
In a dream, you can breathe underwater.
Actions in visions do not comply with the laws of physics.
The ability to see dead people. This is one of the most common factors dream awareness.
Mismatch of time factors. For example, a person dreams of something that has not been there for a long time. Or people around are much younger or older than they really are.
A person finds it difficult to return to the place where he just was. And if it succeeds, then it has already changed.
It is impossible to get out of the room - additional rooms appear, someone stops you, delays you.
Man sees the same things in different places. For example, a friend is talking to you, and looking back, you see that he has abruptly disappeared or is far away.
People and objects are in different places at the same time.
The ability to pass through walls or any other solid objects. You can easily stick your hand into the wall.

These are the most common ways for those who do not know how to enter into lucid dreams, how to learn not to get lost, and try their hand again and again.

The second day of teaching tells that a person must learn to remember his visions. Waking up, you need to immediately remember what you dreamed about, and it is better to write it all down. Thompson suggests starting a diary in which, after waking up, even if it is at night, the student will write down the main characters and details.

On the third day and the fourth, they offer to start testing reality. As often as possible, ask yourself the question: “Am I dreaming?” The point is that the question should often be repeated in reality. Gradually, this will become a kind of habit, and a person, while in a dream, will also be able to automatically ask himself this question. After doing a few actions learned on the first day, he will be able to understand what is happening to him. Noticing flying cows or dead people around, of course, it is easier to realize that you are sleeping.

In four days, a person will already be so deeply imbued with the task of realizing a dream that his brain, already at the subconscious level, will automatically help to achieve the goal. After rereading the diary, in which at least four visions can be recorded, one can identify the main signs of an individual dream. This means that you need to determine the nature of dreams, highlight what is more common. If the statistics turned out to be completely different, then Thompson advises not to be upset, but to continue practicing awareness further.

The fifth day promises to exponentially increase the chances of entering lucid dreams. Practice shows that on this day, not every student can succeed. The task for the fifth day is the whole technology.

It is necessary to set the alarm clock so that it rings exactly 6 hours after the person goes to bed. After this time, you need to wake up and stay awake for an hour and a half. In the meantime, you can re-read your diary and focus on your dreams. After 90 minutes, we go to bed again and for another 10 minutes we are engaged in self-hypnosis and set ourselves up to enter a lucid dream. After that, we fall asleep, and, in theory, awareness should occur.

The sixth day is identical to the fifth, with only minor changes. After 90 minutes of waiting, you need to lie down and concentrate on the score. Repeat to yourself: “1, I am sleeping, 2, I am sleeping…” It is recommended to count until a certain effect is felt: flickering, vibrations, sounds, images. Such appearances mean that the person is on the verge of entering sleep. If he can keep his mindfulness, he can do whatever he wants to do.

Thus, if you tune in correctly and follow all the instructions exactly, you can enter a lucid dream in 7 days. Practice shows good results. And to increase the speed of awareness, they developed special glasses.

Are there risks of entering lucid dreams?

The practice of awareness has not yet had time to "acquire" risks and is currently safe. It can be said that the scientific study of lucid dreams has only just begun. An exception can only be those people who are not able to draw a clear line between real life and sleep. The experience they gained in virtual world, may be too bright and radically different from their real life. People who can easily be aware that they are dreaming sometimes become addicted to these dreams, like an addiction.

Dream comprehension devices

Studies by many scientists have proven that dreams bring great benefit to a person. They are the keys to self-knowledge, a kind of introspection. Scientists have developed a unique device that helps to enter the world of dreams. They made special glasses for lucid dreaming.

The invention is a gadget shaped like a regular sleep mask. It runs on batteries and does not require additional chargers.

Inside the mask are buttons that help turn on the device and adjust the brightness. The mask for lucid dreaming is compact, comfortable and its dimensions are universal. Dreams are controlled by LEDs. Several built-in bulbs give a light signal, which allows a person in a dream to see a specific blinking and understand that he is sleeping.

Lucid Dreaming Glasses Must Catch deep phase sleep of a person and give several signals for each eye. They are not enough to wake their master, but enough for him to realize that he is sleeping. Here a person will already be able to fully control his actions, do the impossible and fulfill his dreams.

People who have experienced lucid dreams leave a wide variety of reviews. The mask helped them orient themselves in time, suggested that they were sleeping. With the help of it, people rarely missed the deep phase, which could not but rejoice them. The dreams, according to their stories, were very vivid, believable and completely changed their lives.

Now you know what lucid dreaming is and you can practice it at least every day.
