Exploring The World Of Lucid Dreaming

Do you dream? Often, it’s difficult to remember our dreams. The vivid worlds we come up with in our subconscious most often disappears as soon as we wake up. Yet, with some practice, dreaming can be a true adventure, and these adventures can have positive effects on your overall well-being. Lucid dreaming is when you 'wake up' while you’re dreaming and are conscious and aware of what is happening in this dream world. In this book summary, you’ll learn how to lucid dream, and how life in this dream state can enrich your life while you’re awake. In this summary of Exploring the World of Lucid Dreaming by Stephen LaBerge and Howard Rheingold, you’ll also learn;

    - how practicing a skill like jump shots in your dreams will actually improve your game; and
    - why you should be asking your waking self 'Am I dreaming?'.
    - how to stay asleep by being active in a dream;

We all dream. However, very few people can actually 'wake up' within a dream. Lucid dreaming may seem strange, yet anyone can do it! There are many benefits to lucid dreaming, too. In fact, many people who lucid dream often say that dreaming this way has made a positive impact on their life when they’re awake. Let’s start exploring dreams with the concept of dreaming in general, specifically how our dream state differs from our waking state. You experience your waking world through your senses: sight, touch, taste, sound. Your brain perceives your environment through these senses. For example, if you go on a walk, your brain is constantly collecting sensory information such as the sound of birds, the sight of people lounging, and the smell of fresh cut grass. You’re then processing this information as you walk through the park. However, when you’re dreaming, your senses don’t work this way. When you’re generating a dream, the information originates internally, meaning that external sensory input – like smells or sounds – is limited. A dream comes from the same perception that your brain uses to perceive the world when you’re awake. In a dream state, however, since there are no external factors limiting your experiences while you’re in your dream world. Your dreams only come from information you already have in your head. This could be memories, desires, or expectations. The things that can happen in your dreams, too, are truly endless!

One-third of our life, about 9,000 days, are spent asleep. Is it possible that there is more to our sleep than just blackness followed by waking up? Zach Highley tried lucid dreaming for 30 days, and his life has changed forever.

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

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

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
