Lucid Dreaming

While we are mostly unaware of our nightly dreams while we dream, Tim Post has trained countless individuals around the world to attain dream awareness in dreams. Remarkably, 'lucid' dreamers can learn to consciously reshape their dreams while dreaming and give rise to profound dream experiences. Tim gives an insight into the emerging science of lucid dreaming and unveils the potential power of using lucid dreams to enhance psychological development and overall well-being.

Now, in these REM sleep dreams — that will be true for our lucid dreams as well — we are provided with this fully immersive, three-dimensional, multi-sensory hallucinatory experience. So, it feels like almost being absorbed into your imagination. You own this dream body that you can use and move around with, not just to look at your dream surroundings, but, for example, to touch the dream ground, its texture, its hardness. That’s how real our dreams are each and every night in REM sleep. It’s incredible. You could listen to dream music, or someone’s voice in a dream. You could even smell or taste dream food. Wow!

Now, at the same time, the lucid dream provides for limitless flexibility, as our dreaming mind is continuously listening to and giving shape to our thoughts and intentions while we are dreaming. And so, once you turn lucid in a dream, you could consciously and reflectively refocus your thoughts and intentions in order to reshape the entire dream, and dream about anything that you could imagine while you are dreaming. So, you could allow an entire dream city to appear, or your favourite sports car, or you could give yourself any kind of superhero power that you can imagine, like flying or walking through walls, or you could just consciously decide to explore the dream while knowing that it is a dream, just go to the left, or go to the right, or just leave the dream as it is.

Lastly, that the lucid dream is a learnable skill. So about 20% of the general population of us has at least one spontaneous lucid dream each month, but now through scientific study, there are various cognitive techniques that anyone can learn to apply in order to have these lucid dreams deliberately.

The Conscious Electromagnetic Information (CEMI) Field Theory

Consider driving along a familiar road. You may be listening to the radio, thinking about some problem at work, but your brain is busy performing all the complex computations necessary to control your limb movements and maintain your car on the busy road, unconsciously. You spot a hazard sign 'Roadworks Major Congestion Ahead' and immediately your conscious mind takes control, to slow the car and perhaps try to find an alternative route home. What is it that is taking control in these situations? What we need to look for is something that is a product of the brains activity, that integrates information but which also has the power to influence that activity. Surprisingly, we have known for years that such an entity exists within our brain. The neurons in our brain transmit electrical signals along and between nerve fibers. It is always assumed that the electrons and neurotransmitters moving down these nerves are the movers and shakers of neuronal computation. However, all elect

Dreaming Is A DMT Experience

Image
Dimethyltryptamine, or DMT , is a potent psychedelic drug commonly found in nature. DMT is also produced by our brains and contribute to a wide variety of experiences. Scientists have also been intrigued by the possibility that DMT would be involved in, for example, the generation of psychedelic experiences or dreamlike states. This video will briefly examine the physiological function of endogenous DMT from a pharmacological perspective. You can get a chemical version of course, and the resulting trip or hallucination is very profound and many would say life changing. But there's a problem with reading loads of peoples stories about DMT and I think by reading and hearing about peoples stories, you're actually changing what might have happened to you if you'd never heard the stories. The same can be said of lucid dreaming, if you constantly hear things like 'when you lucid dream, you'll be met by the terrifying sleep paralysis demon' then you start to believe it

You Are The Universe

Image
The universe is a reflection of consciousness. Everything in your life, your reality and your experiences is like an audition for your attention just as celestial bodies orbit around the sun. Your thoughts, feelings, perceptions and sensations depend entirely on the energy you invest. That which you ignore ceases to exist in your experiential realm. The challenge arises from the unconsciousness with which we often navigate this process. Anything that transpires in your life need not become your experience if you choose not to lend it your attention. This may sound counterintuitive but it's a fact worth considering. When you refuse to invest your attention, events and circumstances lose their impact on your vibrational frequency. In the realm of the Law of Attraction, thoughts are often touted as creators of reality. However, thoughts in and of themselves are empty vessels, they simply vie for your attention. You hold the power to energize them by saying "yes" or dismiss t
