Advanced Lucid Dreaming A Brief Overview

By Philip DeCourcey


Lucid Dreaming is about being consciously aware that you are dreaming. Thus, a lucid dreamer unlike other normal individuals has the knowledge that he is in a dream. Advanced lucid dreaming on the other hand refers to not only the mere knowledge or awareness about the dream but also the ability to have full dream control wherein the lucid dreamer can manipulate the dream settings in order to see, do or go wherever or whatever one desires.

Lucid dreaming is a very difficult ability to develop. In order to attain that ultimate level of advanced lucid dreaming, one needs to put in a lot of focused effort and make meditation an integral part of life. The skills need to be developed from the basic stages to the intermediate stage and then worked upon to reach the advanced stages with intense focus and regular practice.

If you are in the basic lucid dreaming stage, the technique of MILD is a good way to get yourself some advanced lucid dreaming experiences. The Mnemonic Induced Lucid Dream technique known as MILD in short is based on the stimulus-response based approach.

The MILD technique involves affirming your mind to see a certain object in your dream. You can start off by looking at your palms each night before going to bed and softly saying to yourself or verbally affirming your subconscious mind that you would dream about it in the night. Go on doing this till you are too tired or fall asleep. In a matter of a few days you are bound to dream about your palms and then, your mind will make the link and you will suddenly realize that you are dreaming. Remember to be calm so that you can explore the dream setting before waking up in all the excitement.

When you are in the intermediate or a bit advanced lucid dreaming stage, try to set yourself certain goals or parameters and thereby explore your dream settings more. Thus, start by exploring what you can do in your dreams? Can you use all your senses? That is, can you properly taste or smell? Are you being able to sing? Fly from one place to another? Swim underwater? Remember responses given by dream characters? Set yourself goals like flying to a certain place or opening drawers and cupboards to see what is inside.

In advance lucid dreaming stages where you have the sufficient ability and experience in doing all that you desire, there will be some questions in your mind regarding lucid dreaming, life, death and reality in particular. Remember that if your mind believes that you can do this much in your lucid dreams and no further, then that is what will be. Hence, keep your mind open to constant lucid dreaming experiences and activities without any boundaries thereof. Hence, fly off to far away planets and stars, ask a deceased person about his afterlife experiences, get to know about your own past reincarnations and the like.

In the final step of advanced lucid dreaming, which is rare and extremely difficult to develop, one can attempt to try basic healing of himself or of a person who is ill in reality, or one may also try to alter the course of an actual event through mutual lucid dreaming and the like.

Achieving advanced lucid dreaming in recent days is also seeing the extensive use of certain drugs, herbs, and amino acid pills. But the fact remains that unless you have the proper mental state, no amount of herbs and drugs can affect your inner psyche and attain that level of advanced lucid dreaming as discussed above.
