Lucid dreaming

Its your chance to play around with the extraordinary abilities buried in unused parts of your brain. Regardless of whether your are superhuman in real life or not, lucid dreaming is a way for you to put the deepest areas of your brain to good use while you’re sleeping.

Even though the term "lucid" means clear, lucid dreaming is more than just having a clear dream. *To have a lucid dream you must know that it’s a dream while you’re dreaming.* That's it. It doesn't require that you can control anything in your dream, though control is what beginning lucid dreamers often aim at. People get attracted to lucid dreaming because they want to be able to do things they could never do in waking reality.

The ability to utilize sleep as a problem-solving technique isn’t limited to a select few. We all are capable of making similarly important discoveries in our own dreams. The key is to gain lucidity.

Lucid dreaming is a hybrid state that is characterized by both waking and dream consciousness. Although it’s bio-mechanically similar to ordinary sleep, the consciousness accompanying lucid dreams lies in the higher activity level of the frontal areas of the brain.

In fact, lucid dreaming can be very effective in getting rid of general fears and phobias. It can function as a type of cognitive behavior therapy (CBT), a type of treatment employed by many psychologists for severe obsessive-compulsive disorder, among other conditions.

The idea behind CBT is the best way to to get over fear of a particular situation is to place yourself in that situation over and over again until your brain becomes desensitized to the trigger.

There are at least four levels of lucid dreaming:

1. Knowing that you are dreaming
2. Being able to control your own dream actions in a wake-like fashion
3. Being able to manipulate your dream surroundings
4. Being able to manipulate the dream actions of other people in your dreams

You can conscious start dreaming about the recovery and the outcome when cured. Fly ad swim through space with joy and freedom void of your challenge. See yourselves performing all tasks par your conscious limitations !
