The Informator: about lucid dreaming

Gone over my whole blog. Made me realize that it took kind of a depressive turn. The best part is when I tell my dreams. I should do that more often. I am working on something these days. I am working on lucid dreaming. For those who don't know anything about it, lucid dreaming are dreams in which you are conscious of being in a dream. Each one of you have had such dreams. Did you know that there was a method that could help you to get more lucid dreams? Of course, the precision of the method 's suggestions is stupid. The important thing is to get the idea behind it. The most important moment is before you fall asleep. You must "fall asleep consciously", meaning that you must be conscious of your mind slowly getting detached of the outside things, and when you feel that you are starting to fall asleep, you must hang to your awaken estate. It's like if you were about to die, trying to hold to this life. That I found it myself. The methods are proposing lots of exercices to do during the day. It appears that it works. Well, here's what it says. First, you should picture that you are in a dream, at least two or three times a day. You should convince yourself that you really are living a dream. I still haven't try this tip. Then, you should think about unreal things that happened in one of your dream, and try to rationnalize it. I don't believe that this tip works. Even if you learn to rationalize unreal things, it would just make your dreams seem more natural even when unreal things happen. But even that last tought was useless, here's why. I don't think that the "unreal things" factor is the one that determines your degree of addiction to the reality of your dream. For example, I had a very strange dream with water flowing from everywhere in my room. It was a dream where I was almost lucid that it was a dream, but where I wasn't sure if it was a dream or reality. The water thing made no sens at all, but I was believing that it was possible, and that's why I tought it was real, and I didn't fell in the lucid dream. I also remembered dreams were everything was likely, but where I was conscious that it was a dream. I just "knew it", it had nothing to do with the dream's content. Same thing for a nightmare, tought it may vary. What launches a nightmare, it's the feeling that it's a nightmare, and it has little to do with the content. For example, I had a nightmare last night. The content? I was picturing myself, lying on my bed. Why was it a nightmare? I felt it in all my body, I was f** scared. So, to get back to lucid dreams, forget about the last tip, it's charlatanesque. I really think that the most important thing is to get in some kind of trance by trying to fall asleep consciously. Still, the methods are talking about some kind of trick when you awake in the middle of the night. It says that you should stay awake and activate your brain (by reading for example) for an hour. That's a way of awaken all your brain functions, before to get back to the fresh sleep you just left. Still, I find that the idea behind that is to mess the different mind states: you just wake up, maybe just off of a dream, and then activates your brain intensely for an hour, an then immediatly back to sleep and dream. Anyway, I am still pretty novice about it. I will try to come back later with more information.
