| Lucid dreams, |

| dreams in which you know that |
| ||||||
A lot of people do not know that you can change your dreams (and especially your nightmares). It is even possible to go a step further than the Senoi (I will tell more about this in a second). At Stanford University in 1981 Stephen LaBerge clearly proved that people can be awake and conscious during their dreams (these are called: 'conscious dreams' or 'lucid dreams'). In this kind of dream you realize that you are dreaming. And you are capable of directing the dream. With some practice most people will be able to learn this. It is also a fact that about ten percent of all people occasionally have lucid dreams. This group has a 'natural' talent for this kind of dream. But even they can further develop it. On having lucid dreams I think that is useful to explain the nature of lucid dreams a bit further (and make you experience such a dream a little). Everybody knows how realistic dreams can be. Usually you only realize that 'it was all a dream' after you have woken up. The next excercise might sound a bit "New Agey" at first, but it will give you some idea of what it is to go from normal dreaming to having a lucid dream. Look around in the room in which you find yourself. Look at the objects, feel the clothes you are wearing, listen to all the sounds around you. Perhaps you still taste something you have eaten. Now imagine that you realize (in one way or the other) that this is a dream. Initially this would be something of a shock, because you thought that it was reality. But soon this feeling changes into one of excitement. 'This is a dream,' you realize, 'and I can do anything I like!' At such moments people often experience feelings of freedom and power (but don't let these become too strong, or you may wake up). It is your own "virtual reality" in which you are in control. Inspect your surroundings or change them. Travel through time to exotic places. Meet your ideal dream-love. Do anything you want. If you have come to this site because you or your child suffers nightmares, do not forget the read the article about the Senoi . Note that lucid dreaming goes a step further than what the Senoi did. They usually had only a couple of seconds of lucidity. Enough to change a nightmare or to start something enjoyable. But if you are having a lucid dream you stay conscious of the fact that you are dreaming. |
