Can Anyone Have Lucid Dreams?

By John H Kelvin


During sleep if you are aware that you are dreaming and more importantly you have the control over your dreams so as to manipulate and change it in the way you want to, it can be concluded that you have lucid dreams.

Lucid Dreams are something that perhaps each human would wish to have the ability of. In case of your dreams say, starting from visiting any place in the world, meeting numerous celebrities, unreal stuff like going to the moon, having a sci-fi adventure yourself saving the world from bad men, waging war, making love, etc, you have done it all in your dreams since childhood.

Thus, just to summarize what we have just heard, lucid dreams involve two things. Firstly, to realize and know that you are dreaming, and secondly to have full control of yourself and your dreams. In that case, do you realize how out of the world experience it could be if you can control your dreams? Especially when you know that nothing you say or do there would actually harm you in reality because it's just a dream! So it's safe to say that lucid dreams could be very addictive!

The measure of the lucidity of your dream depends upon whether you can recall it and how well you can control or manipulate it. Thus, if you have a lucid dream where you have been doing anything you wanted to and could manipulate the images of your dream to show you what you wanted to, then your dream is said to be highly lucid.

Though Lucid Dreams have gained much importance in recent times with the subject becoming a topic of extensive study, it must be mentioned that it had been prevalent since donkey's years. Starting from proofs in the letters of ancient philosophers, monks practicing dream yoga to more recent writings of people regarding their experiences, lucid dreams, though extremely rare, but have always been present in humans.

Lucid Dreams can be said to be either dream initiated or wake initiated. In case of a dream initiated lucid dream or WILD in short, a person dreams in his sleep and then suddenly it dawns on him that he is dreaming. These kind of lucid dreams are more common and do not involve the person to have any control on their dreams whatsoever but just the mere knowledge about his imaginaries as dreaming.

WILD or Wake Initiated Lucid Dreams on the other hand involves a person to enter his dream state with full knowledge and awareness about it. That is, it is only his body that sleeps but his mind is completely wakeful while he passes to the dream realm. Many a times, individuals are known to experience vibrations, noises, a feeling like passing from air into water bit by bit, etc in case of highly intense lucidity states.

Needless to say that WILD involves complete awareness and knowledge during the transition from wakeful to the dream state and involves the ability to manipulate and change the dream. Hence, this kind of an ability is extremely difficult to develop and involves thorough practicing of various techniques and gradually building up the strength over time in comparison to the DILD where it can be done comparatively easily by subconscious mind affirmations mainly.
