Learning Lucid Dreaming - Reasons You Must Learn to Have Lucid Dreams
While an ordinary dreamer hardly remembers his/her dreams and attaches no significance to them, a lucid dreamer is serious about his/her dreams.
For a lucid dreamer, dreaming is one of the most important activities of his/her life.
Lucid dreamers not only dream, but are also strongly aware that they are dreaming.
Lucid dreaming, therefore, can be simply defined as the ability to be aware that you are dreaming.
Once you are aware that you are dreaming, there is no limit to what you can do.
You can direct, control, manipulate, and choose whatever you would like to dream about.
You are not only the protagonist, but also the writer and the director of your dream movies.
Do you have mixed thoughts about it? You might be wondering why you should bother about controlling your dreams.
Most dreams are weird; they hardly make sense.
Moreover, they belong to the realm of the unknown, which is always scary.
So, why "stay awake" in the dream state when you can stay safely unaware? There are myriad reasons why you would like to control your dreams.
You can do things in dreams that you can never do in real life.
You can have all the fun you long to have in real life, but can't, in your lucid dreams.
Would you like to have a date with your dream boy or girl? Even if this is impossible in real life, lucid dreaming makes it quite possible.
You can experience the joy of a date, even with celebrities, in your dreams.
Alternatively, you can do anything you like in a lucid dream.
Would you like to fly like Superman? View the beauty of earth from the heights of space? On earth, during your waking hours, you would dismiss this as fantasy.
But, in lucid dreams, you can experience all this and more! Why, you can even transform a nightmare into a pleasant experience.
