THE SCIENCE BEHIND LUCID DREAMS

Dreams provide a world in which we escape from reality into the mind and usually have no control over what is happening. But what if you could know if you are dreaming, and thus control your dream? It turns out that this thing, called “lucid dreaming,” is possible to achieve, and with a little effort and training, even you can try it. Some may say: “I don’t dream at all,” but the reality of the matter is that we all dream about 3-7 dreams every night, but The problem is that we forget them quickly. The first way to achieve lucid dreaming is to record dreams in a diary. This enhances your ability to remember dreams, and helps you achieve lucidity. So, from now on, write down what you remember every day as soon as you wake up, even if you do not remember anything, just to get used to it. . The next step is to practice a “reality check” in the dream. Something as simple as reading a sentence, counting your fingers, or checking the time can show strange results. Try it now: Look at the time, look away, then look back at the time . Now that you're not dreaming, the clock reading was probably similar . In a dream, you'll find that the time or the words you're reading will usually change to something completely different. The secret is to...

The idea is to strengthen the intention to realize that you are dreaming while you are dreaming. Keep repeating the sentence: “I am going to have a lucid dream tonight.” The highest success rates usually occur if you wake up in the middle of the night, stay awake for 30 minutes, and then come back. Go to bed with those intentions set in your mind Finally, once you have succeeded in the MILD technique, there is a more complex technique that you can try called “lucid dreaming through wakefulness induction” - WILD The idea here is to keep your mind in a state of alertness while your body goes to sleep, but here it is. Danger: I am experiencing “sleep paralysis,” which is a completely normal phenomenon that prevents your body from moving during sleep, but in this case you will be awake during it, which may be frightening for some people.

Scientific research on lucid dreams has provided a new perspective on the nature of paranormal awareness in the brain. It has also opened the way for psychotherapy through dreams and reducing nightmares. It has also raised the question: Are sleep and wakefulness two mutually exclusive states, or do they together form one continuous state ?
