Lucid dreaming - is it a real controlled phenomenon or just another pseudoscientific invention and popular hobby that has nothing to do with science? The very term "lucid dreaming" in its meaning contradicts the concept of a dream - a person's subjective perception of images-experiences during sleep, while the sleeper does not understand that he is sleeping. And here, it turns out, there is a certain technique that allows you to create lucid dreams, as if it were some kind of virtual reality or a product of cinema, the author of which is the dreamer himself. Let's take a look at this technique with which you can learn to control your dreams.
Many people have different dreams: funny, cheerful, unusual, scary, nightmares. Almost everyone dreams of them. But there are people who do not have dreams, or they simply do not remember them. Such people in most cases have mental abnormalities.
I think that rarely did any of us ask ourselves the question of whether we can control our sleep. I also haven't asked myself such a question before, but somehow on the Internet I saw an article on controlling my dreams. And after two months I did it! This is amazing, but at the end of the article, I will describe the threats and dangers that lucid dreaming presents. But don't be afraid right away.
Basically, if you learn to control your dreams, you can build them completely according to your own scenario. Whether it is a trip to America, China, Mars or a grandiose battle in which you are the main character and participant, and also a screenwriter. The dream itself is an unusual world, full of new sensations and all the most interesting.
Lucid dreaming technique
So how do we learn to control what we see when we sleep, that is, sleep? I do not advise you to think that you will succeed quickly, because it is impossible to learn this very quickly. To do this, you need to make a small, but still, effort. As the saying goes, you can't get a fish out of a pond without difficulty. There are several steps to learning lucid dreaming. If you remember your dreams every morning, remember everything in detail, clearly, then the first step will not be a problem for you. First, get yourself a thick notebook in which you will write down all your dreams. Call it Dream Diary or something like that. Every morning try to remember them, write them down, record all the details and subtleties. In the future, this will help you realize that you are asleep, and that everything that is happening around is a dream. I think that for those who have a desire to learn this,it won't be a problem.
And now the time has passed when enough dreams have accumulated in your diary. It is not at all difficult to accumulate so much, because on average a person dreams 6 dreams per night. From this stage, you will need to read your dreams before that very dream. Read them before going to bed, look through them carefully, try to remember all the moments, subtleties, details, replay your dreams several times in your head. This will be useful, because you will remember the sensations that accompanied you in your dream.

There are anchors that also help in dreaming. Any object can be an anchor: a dog, a car, a crying child or the croaking of a frog, that is, what you can hear or see in a dream. When seeing these objects in real life, ask yourself a dream question. That is, having seen the same object in a dream, you automatically ask yourself, and if you ask in a dream, it means that you realize the dream itself. But it doesn't have to be a subject. Just ask yourself during the day, “Is this a dream? Am I sleeping? This will also help you on the path to dreams in which you are king and God.
Do everything as directed, be purposeful. And one fine day, that is, night, you will reach the state of lucid dreaming, that is, you are aware of your dream. To make sure that this is a dream, some experts advise raising your hands and looking at them, looking around. Or try to fly up, immerse your hand in some object, consciously perform some action that is impossible in reality. After all, everything is possible in a dream.
Lucid dreams - their danger
As I promised, at the end of the article I will tell you about the dangers of lucid dreaming.
First, you may develop addiction. After all, if in real life you are not yet lucky, but everything comes with time, and in a dream you can do everything, then you will want to control your dreams, that is, live in them. But don't do this, because reality is reality, and a dream is just a fictional space that will not give you what real life does.
Secondly, if you can do whatever you want in a dream, then in real life you are not allowed to do this. That is why some people, after dreams, begin to behave inappropriately already in life. This should not be allowed.
But if you are a morally stable person, if you are aware of your actions, have willpower, then you are not afraid of these dangers.
The main thing is to control yourself and think about whether you need it.
