5 Reasons to Lucid Dream

Its widely agreed that lucid dreaming has many benefits and yet how do we get here and practise consistently?  Consider 5 Reasons to lucid dream;

1. Know Power of Intention

People are motivated to do things because of an underlying intention.  As we make the intention conscious (or grow aware of it), this creates momentum for the experience to take shape in our lives.

2. Strengthen Memory

Good dream recall  strengthens memory. This essential to lucid dream. This starts with the firm resolve to recall your dreams. Dream journaling helps. A proven technique is to wake up a few hours earlier, stay up for fifteen minutes or so, then go back to sleep with the intent that “I will wake up in my dreams, I will remember my dreams.” 

3. Be Willing to Explore Techniques

Eastern and western techniques exist to help orient the dream journey.  Taking supplements, using technology that tracks brainwaves, visualisation and specific meditation techniques are some of the options available.

4. Feel the Urge to gain mind mastery 

The real point here is not to gain mastery over your dreams but mastery over your mind.  By gaining mastery over your mind, you grow fearless in the dark. The nighttime lucid dreams and yogas can illuminate, eliminate fear, the primordial emotion  of samsara.

5. Interested in Universality

The practices of the night lead us to this unified field and awaken us to the universality of the human condition.  In truth, when we go to sleep, we actually going to meet every other sentient being on this planet, at this deepest possible level. We’re going to sleep together and rest in the same luxurious bed of the primal mind. Our job, when we arise each morning, is not to forget this nightly reunion.

Let go of your own resistance

Feelings that keep you from realizing a vision only hold your attention if you focus there.  Notice why you doubt, sense you are doing something wrong or feel impatient at a lack of results.  Notice what happens as you shift the focus of your thoughts.  Notice your thoughts are themselves energy vibrations shaping the evolution of your life.  Speak as if the life you dream about it already here.  All the power in the universe conspires to make it happen.  And so it is.

Talk yourself through a breakthrough or change in some area of your life.  For instance:

It is so exciting to be tuned into the flow of what is working.  I know I create my own reality.  I love knowing I create my thoughts and shape the direction of my unfolding experience.  I know that to speak in generalities and to feel good now where I am is a bridge to feeling good about specific changes I would like to see in my life and inviting those to manifest.  I trust the universe is creating a path for me and people enter into my life to help me move ahead. 

Go more specific: I expect synchronicities and continue to notice them.  I have good vibes about branching out to help people help themselves in a new and harmonious setting.   I can feel inside that vibrationally-speaking, researching property for sale  at this point in time is no accident.  I feel I am outgrowing my current conditions and I am also aware that its now a buyer's market.  I know visiting places of interest is a step toward living that dream.   

My vision of a move invites details to fall into place that enable this to happen smoothly. I feel energized as I explore the surrounding community and welcomed by friendly locals. Direct experience further convinces me of the power of intention.  I sense focusing on and speaking openly about a healthy change of scenery is making it unfold in this reality. I love picturing myself in that new house or set of conditions.  I feel the momentum building.
