Lucid Dreaming
Today we’ll finally Rewind Machine, an instrument which, if mastered, will allow us to do just about anything. When I say do whatever is it, any thing flying out the window to get their hands Scarlett Johansson or give him a kick in the balls to the head. The invention is called “lucid dreaming”.
I arrived at my lucid dream after sleep deprivation experiment. Since I resigned myself to having to sleep seven or eight hours a night, was looking for something to do during that time. I discovered that not only had something to do during those hours of sleep, but could experience great things.
Lucid dreaming is, for a dream, to acquire knowledge that you are dreaming. This may sound simple, but if anything have dreams is that they are extremely convincing. If you do not believe you woke remember how your last nightmare.
Then go into the details. At the moment I want to say that lucid dreaming, unlike the snowman or woman who could read maps, are accepted in a scientific manner. They are also inexpensive and not fattening, which is always good for this summer. They are completely safe and healthy (do not worry mom) and not interfere with the recovery of the body.
The main advantage of acquiring consciousness within a dream is the ability to alter its course. With a little practice one can recreate situations that have occurred or actions that are unlikely to have a happy ending in real life, such as the baking bustle in the back and also likes. Besides there are other sexual possibilities, but I beg the reader to forgive me if I lose always the same lines. Not only produces spring allergies.
Every night we dream between four and six times, the problem is that often when we wake up we have completely forgotten every one of these experiences. I myself am among those who could have said “do not sleep for months”.
Some people are more likely to remember dreams and their details, but generally not even aware we have been dreaming all night unless it was one of those nasty where you teeth fall out, you dream that you’re in college because it was discovered that in fact did not pass your final examination, or dream that you lie with fat bakery across the street and she is on top and you can not breathe and you wake up between hot flashes and sweating.
The benefits of lucid dreaming are almost endless:
- You can recreate pleasant situations and live them again and again.
- You can create new situations that you would like to experiment. You can be drinking rum and Coke in a Caribbean beach or in bed with Sophia Loren in her heyday.
- You can work during your sleep, if something is desirable. If your time, you can be all night reviewing an examination table sitting in your dream studio.
- You can walk the streets wreaking havoc with your superpowers, flying and throwing spider here and there. Why be content with only one superpower as conventional heroes? See through clothes will be something you soon will be small.
- You can practice difficult situations to improve your social skills, such as speaking before a large audience. Imagine you want to request an increase to your boss and you fear that you finish attacking with a paperweight. In your dreams you can practice guerrilla techniques and test again and again in maneuvers against disarming it and you just sticking a pencil in the jugular.
- If you often have nightmares, become aware of the fact that it is just a dream will you redirect the course of events and end the source of your efforts.
- Have I told you that you can fuck in my sleep? What do you think that was what happened when you woke with wet pajamas and this time you had not pissed? A little practice will always dream and fat cows.
At this point we are all convinced that lucid dreams are Feten. There are only technical issues: what paints are dreams? You really are so real? “See you in color or black and white? What resolution?
As if these were things that mattered. I’m telling you you can touch her breasts to the cashier at the supermarket and applaud you in the queue, what you care if CGA, to 320×200 and in four colors? What you have to worry about is waking up!
In any case, I assure that dreams are extremely real. Most of the times you do not realize that you are dreaming because everything is so vivid that you can not think you really think that lying in bed. You’re used to everything around you is real, so you’ll stop to question not a dream but a pink elephant around the corner, and not Friday night. That’s why it is so difficult to acquire consciousness within a dream. One of the first steps to access lucid dreaming is to question the reality every half hour.
The basic mechanism is as follows: we are dreaming and suddenly something happens that catches our attention. Then we make a reality check and, if we are sure that this is a dream, we acquired the vision and trying to last as long as possible, something very complicated at first because the excited state that produces the sensation at first.
Here are the steps essential steps to get started in this whole affair.
1. Logbooks
The first step of the practice is to keep a dream journal. This is a notebook left by the bed and when you wake up at four in the morning with the stifle brimming at the corners and only dreamed of, have the balls to take the notebook and write down what you just dreaming. The concept is simple but the practice will be that differentiates those who do have interest from curious fans. I can assure you start writing just landed a dream into reality is a daunting task trying to keep my eyes open to see if you’re aiming on paper or even if what you have in your hands is actually a pen.
The subject of the book has two main intentions:
- Staying focused on your intention to remember your dreams.
- Common elements, find your dream expedition, a repetition of situations or characters that appear on a recurring basis and then do serve as a plantearte support the plausibility of what is happening.
When I started the experiment I must admit that although excited, I was certainly skeptical. She did not remember dreaming anything in weeks or months. That same night, just for the sake of sleep before making the determination to remember dreams upon waking, I could make two entries in the logbook. The power of the subconscious, it is screwing.
Moreover, there are recurring dreams: sometimes dreams that you teeth fall out, sometimes you fly, in others you are back in college you thought taking a test already approved, and sometimes you dream you’re peeing over and over time and your bladder is about to burst because you’re actually in bed with the duvet up to his neck. If you have some practice, the next time you realize you’ve gone to the bathroom five times and you keep peeing know it’s a dream. Go running to play a couple of asses before ending up in bed by yourself.
2. Reality checks
A reality check or verification of reality is exactly what its name implies: to ensure that what you are experiencing is reality and not a dream. It may sound paranoid, but it is what it is. The philosophical implications of leave for another day, but you know the only way you could prove that you’re reading this right now is not part of a dream is waking.
We will have to make a series of checks throughout the day to make sure that what surrounds us is true and not the fruit of our feverish imagination. There are a number of checks to be used in combinations of at least two:
- Cover your nose and see if you can keep breathing. In dreams is not usually pose a major problem.
- Look in a mirror. In dreams the reflections in the mirrors often be quite unrealistic. Make sure the haircut you’ve been lately and that the clothes you are wearing is yours. If you look and see that you wear a pink bra is that it is a dream, and also one painful. Do not ever eat macaroni before going to bed.
- Thou art the number of fingers. In dreams is relatively normal to have five, six or seven toes on each hand, which generally be considered well within an order. Something practical and discreet is to use a thumb to touch the four remaining fingers. If you have more than four, you’re in a dream.
- Looking for something to read and check it out, something like a poster or something clearly. Read it carefully, looks away and read it again. If the second time brings something different, either you are in a dream, or has lost his mind. You can use a book that you find around and reread some lines you just go. It’s frankly hard to read the same sentence twice in a dream.
- If you have a digital watch, watch the hour, then turn your sight to see anything and then when new. If you see another time is different because you are on issuing full dream.
- Turn on and off a light switch. If the switch does not work is because you’re in bed with eyes closed and starting to freak out.
- Try to move objects and transform people into other things. I repeat that in your dreams you have skills as pilgrims.
These are just some of the tests of reality that exist. You should try to carry out twenty to thirty times a day. The goal is to get used to question the reality around you so that you also get to do at night.
Moreover, as I said, there are recurring dreams that can help us identify our state of transposition. Apparently it is common that you dream your teeth fall or have to repeat tests that have already passed, perhaps dreaming that you are only pee or some nightmare rebozarte have every week. You know, as you see any of these things come, hustler because you’re dreaming.
For anyone who wants to start in the practice of this curious sport, the first thing is to focus on the evocation of dreams. It would be very sad to have a dream in which you hustles to McPherson and then could not remember to tell your friends. Start with a notebook beside the bed and making a firm intention to remember everything when you awake. In a few days you will be able to conjure up two or three dreams every night and you’re filling a psychedelic history book with you then you can take a laugh. That is fine, but if you persevere in your checks you will never really be awake within a dream because you will not be able to discern that you’re in one.
Well, that’s enough for today. Another week will tell my own experiences on the matter. For those who want to plunge into this exciting world, the Wikipedia can find more information. “Lucid dreams” in Spanish or “Lucid Dreaming” in the language of Chespir.
