What Are Lucid Dreams?
If, like most people, you are fascinated with and interested in Lucid Dreams, Lucid Dreaming: Gateway to the Inner Self is a book you’ll want very much to read.
Lucid dreams are those dreams that feel SO REAL that you aren’t 100 percent sure if you’re awake or dreaming. Colors in lucid dreams are more vibrant, sounds are louder, thoughts are clearer. The emotions felt in the dream register with your emotions the minute you awaken.
Many people believe that they can program themselves to actually have more Lucid Dreams. They also feel that they can use these lucid dreams for self growth, self help, and self improvement.
The book shown in this post would be an excellent source for the individual who wants to learn more about lucid dreams and lucid dreaming.
Product Description
Lucid Dreaming: Gateway to the Inner Self is the account of an extraordinarily talented lucid dreamer who goes beyond the boundaries of both psychology and religion. In the process, he stumbles upon the Inner Self.
While lucid (consciously aware) in the dream state and able to act and interact with dream figures, objects, and settings, dream expert Robert Waggoner experienced something transformative and unexpected. He was able to interact consciously with the dream observer-the apparent Inner Self-within the dream. At first this seemed shocking, even impossible, since psychology normally alludes to such theoretical inner aspects as the Subliminal Self, the Center, the Internal Self-Helper in vague and theoretical ways. Waggoner came to realize, however, that aware interaction with the Inner Self was not only possible, but actual and highly inspiring. He concluded that while aware in the dream state, one has both a psychological tool and a platform from which to understand dreaming and the larger picture of man’s psyche as well. Waggoner proposes 5 stages of lucid dreaming and guides readers through them, offering advice for those who have never experienced the lucid dream state and suggestions for how experienced lucid dreamers can advance to a new level.
Lucid Dreaming offers exciting insights and vivid illustrations that will intrigue not only avid dreamworkers but anyone who is interested in consciousness, identity, and the definition of reality.
Keeping a Dream Journal
If you have a legitimate interest in your dreams and truly want to uncover what they’re trying to tell you, the first thing you need to do is buy a dream journal. You could probably even find an old notebook around your house that would work beautifully – without spending a red cent.
Most people think they will simply remember every detail of their dreams without writing down the details right away. Unfortunately, this just isn’t the case. Many times, important details are forgotten. In mere hours, large chunks of valuable dream details… just ripe for dream analysis… are lost forever.
It’s like priceless dream symbols flying out of the bedroom window! Opportunities for self analysis, self growth, and self help lost forever.
Not good.
Another benefit of keeping a dream journal is that you’ll be able to see trends. If you dream about lost loved ones, snakes, losing things, death, or clowns on a regular basis – it’s information that will prove valuable to a dreamologist (dream interpreter).
Dreaming about snakes once in a while will hold a different analysis, for example, than if you dream about them 2 or 3 times a week.
Whether you want to use the information to interpret your own dreams or you want to have the information, in full detail, handy for a dream interpreter such as the one on Dream Prophesy – a dream journal is absolutely KEY.
Below are top 10 most important things about keeping a dream journal:
- Keep your dream journal and pen near your bed. You’ll want to get the dream out of your head and onto paper as soon as possible. If you have to search around the house for the journal or the pen, you run the risk of “losing” valuable details.
- Keep your dream journal away from prying eyes! Even though the dream about Angelina Jolie or Brad Pitt (or both) may actually hold an entirely different interpretation than expected – you might not be able to explain that to a certain someone!
- Write down every person who appears in your dream. Even if it’s someone you think isn’t at all important, write them down. If you’re unsure who, exactly, the person was “supposed” to be – go with your gut feeling. Sometimes dreams are confusing, to say the least.
- Write down the feelings you experienced in the dream. How you felt during the dream is extremely important to its analysis and interpretation.
- Write down how you feel when you first wake up. Are you anxious, sad, mad, confused, elated? How you feel, initially, also carries a lot of weight in dream analysis.
- If you remember any particular phrases or “key” words in the dream, jot them down, along with who said them. You’ll know which words or phrases are “key” simply because they’ll stand out.
- Right before you fall asleep, remind yourself to remember important details about your dream(s). Doing so will help, over time, train you to better remember your dreams and help you to retain the information for longer periods of time.
- If you can’t remember an entire dream or you’re foggy on certain details, don’t sweat it! Write down what you can remember. DO NOT assume or try to fill in blanks with what you “think” happened in the dream. If you don’t remember, you don’t remember. Think about it this way, if it were truly that important and if it were extremely “key,” you’d probably remember! Just write down the things you remember.
- Write down colors you recall from the dream. Colors in dreams are very important! I’ll be adding a dream color chart to Dream Prophesy in a day or two. You’ll be able to see the different interpretations for the different colors. Write down each color that you remember. If you’re wearing a white top, write that down. If someone in your dream is angry at you and they’re wearing purple, write it down.
- Remember the importance of Dream Symbols. When examining your dream and writing down the details in your dream journal, be sure to list any objects and/or animals that you recall – cats, pillows, birds, toasters, turtles, flowers, etc.
Start keeping a dream journal as soon as possible – it’ll change the way you look at dreams. The information in your journal, combined with the tools and information you’ll find on Dream Prophesy will help you analyze your dreams. Dream analysis can help you in more ways than you can even begin to imagine.
It can open up a whole new world for you – so grab your pen, you won’t want to miss a thing!
Why You Need a Dream Journal
Keeping a dream journal isn’t just important for analyzing and interpreting your dreams, it’s crucial. When someone asks me about what steps they should take to interpreting and understanding their dreams, my advice never changes: The first step is to invest in a Dream Journal.
Why should you keep a dream journal?
Trying to “master” your dreams without a dream journal is like trying to cook without a cookbook. It’s like trying to remember a month of appointments and special dates without writing them down. Most of us are simply too busy and have far too many things going on not to benefit from putting them in writing. The same is true of our dreams, we have them each and every night – if we don’t write them down, we’ll soon forget the details and often the dream, itself.
However, if we write down the most important things about each dream, including the dream symbols, colors, people, and emotions – we’ll have an accurate account of the dream. Then, we can look back over the dreams we’ve been having and see a pattern develop.
You should write down a brief explanation of what’s going on in your life as well – either in a different color of ink from the ink you use for dream description – or in a place where you can tell definitely where the real world ends and the dream world begins!
The importance of recording what’s going on in your life (such as if you’re feeling happy, sad, lonely, guilty…) is this: In the future, if you have a series of nightmares, you can look back in your dream journal and find a time when you had similar dreams. You’ll probably see that what you’re feeling in your day to day life is similar to what you felt then.
Dreams are extremely fascinating and extremely insightful. Having a Dream Journal will help you both enjoy and benefit from your dreams more than ever.
Dream Analysis: Unleash Your Mind’s Powers
Creativity means thinking out of the box. In other words, it means, thinking in the unusual way. It involves lot of innovation. Thinking out of the box requires the mind to be free. It is true that creativity is an art, however with proper training, it can be acquired easily.
The website [deleted] is a huge repository of information that gives a list of easily downloadable softwares at reasonable prices. These softwares give various techniques for empowerment of the human brain. The brain is the most important part of the human body, it needs to be always pampered and kept in the best possible condition, so that one can derive maximum benefits out of it.
The software must be used with headphones. It contains many frequency waves that travel across the human body. The sound waves are first transmitted to the ear and it then signals the brain to a sub conscious state. The brain is absolutely in a relaxing condition now and is best suited for any empowerment activities. The sound waves gives a soothing effect to the brain and it gives the much needed relaxation so that the brain can cool down and perform its activities with utmost perfection and accuracy.
Creativity is not rocket science. It just means to catch certain signals and react with extremely quick reflex action. It means to think differently and to act differently. Thinking out of the box requires lot of confidence and guts, because, it is normal only to go the way, the whole world goes. If ones wants to deviate and take a different path, he has to be extremely confident of his step. He should be willing to take the risk and think differently. Even if it is a failure, he should be able to treat it with a smile. A brain which is conditioned thoroughly with the soothing sound waves technology, is bound to be doubly effective than the normal brain.
One classic example of creativity is the one involving the Russian astronaut. It was once discovered that the normal pen does not work in the moon. The Americans and the Europeans spent so much of time and energy in designing a pen that fights gravity and that could have the ability to write even when a person uses it on the moon. They spent a lot of resources designing this special pen and still were not successful. The Russian astronauts, however, solved it in a minute. Did they do anything magical? No, they simply used a pencil!!
This is enough to prove that creativity, in other words, is application of common sense. Most of the times, we don’t use this presence of mind and hence go in the way which everybody goes. We don’t tend to think differently, if there is any other simple solution available. This software eradicates the problem of lack of creativity. The brain is so relaxed, that it is always on high alert. There is not an iota of dullness or mundane minute in the brain. There are studies that have proved that this software is a phenomenal success.
Today’s Updates to Dream Prophesy!
As we continue to put Dream Prophesy back together, we’ve added to the What Your Dreams Mean Section. Be sure and leave comments in this (and every!) section. One of the things I loved most about the old Dream Prophesy site were the frequent comments. Our visitors were always very generous with their own dreams, comments, and experiences. All of this interaction made for a great, fun, and enlightening experience – so I’m hoping lightning will strike twice and we’ll luck into a lot of chatters extraordinaire!
I’ve been checking and double-checking the colors on 3 different computers in our house. Each one renders different colors, so I know that each of you have different viewing experiences as well. If any of these fonts (words) are difficult for you to read – let me know. The gray quotes at the end of each post are tough to read on one of my computers, but they look dead on gorgeous on two of the other ones. Just let me know and I’ll monkey with them some more.
“Throughout history people have struggled with the notion of what is real. An ancient Chinese philosopher, Chuang-tzu, dreamed he was a butterfly. He awoke suddenly and pondered whether he was a man who dreamed of being a butterfly – or whether he was a butterfly dreaming he was a man. The paradox reflects the Taoist belief in the balance and play of yin and yang, the union of opposites.” – The Complete Idiot’s Guide to Interpreting Your Dreams
