Learn How to Lucid Dream!
Here you can read about the first time I experienced that I could lucid dream.
"Suddenly I experienced that I was standing by the edge of my life path a very warm midsummer day. In the sky was the hot sun and I could feel the sunshine taking a bath on me. It was one of those red hot summer days that you speak of when you grow older.
What puzzled me was that it was so hot and why did I wear winter cloth? I was in fact wearing my winter coat! My first thought was, what is happening to me?
All out of a sudden I felt such an exiting feeling that was overwhelming my whole body from the top of my head to my toes. Suddenly it dawned upon me that I was in fact dreaming! It was incredible and unbelievable! I was in fact actually awake but I was also inside my dream at the same time!" The above is what actually happened to me one night many, many years ago. At the time a was just a youngster, not more than 12 or 13 years old, but I can remember it as if it happened yesterday. Even though I have experienced similar things and in fact better than the first experience, the understanding that I in fact had been fully awake whilst still inside a dream is something that I will remember forever. What happened that special night is now known as a "Lucid Dream". This can be described as having a dream but at the same time being consciously awake. For a long time most people didn`t believe that such a thing could happen, but now they actually do happen to many people. What`s the difference between a normal dream and a consciously awake dream? You see, when you and I have a dream, we have very little control over what happen in the dream. It is as though we are being swept along in a story and we have very little to say in what happens in that dream. In addition to this, crazy things may happen within the dream, but we just carry on as though nothing is out of the ordinary. We tend not to rationalize anything or if we do, it gets explained away Not long ago I was dreaming that I was talking to Tor, one of the greatest gods in the old Norse mythology. We were sitting quite happily chatting away in a park in the north of Norway. Initially in that dream I didn’t question the fact that I was chatting with an old Norse mythology god! Soon after, the same skills that most of you can learn, enabled me to see the dream for what it was. At that point I became lucid and had a wonderful experience! What would have happened if I had not become lucid in that dream? Of course I would have continued chatting with that old god Tor. When I woke up in the morning the next day I would see how ridiculous I really was for accepting such a really weird situation. That is the key to lucid-dreaming. When you become lucid, the consciousness and realization that you feel when you awake the next morning actually happens whilst you are still in your dream! This ‘in dream’ awareness that you will feel enables you to exist in a dream world with the full awareness that you have in your everyday life. The ability to be totally aware whilst still dreaming is what we call Lucid Dreaming. This is a wonderful ability to possess!
