How to Lucid Dream

The new Method for Lucid Dreaming

  Brainwave Entrainment

                              
                                    
Our brain is responsible for the various perceptions and feelings we have.  This applies to waking states of consciousness, as well as for our dreams.
At this place I don`t want to go into the explanation of different sleep cycles and lucid dreams in general, but stick to presenting a new, very effective technique to lucid dream.
So let`s deal with the crucial issues for instant lucid dreaming experiences...

What happens on a physiological/neuronal level when you lucid dream?

EEG-recordings enable to investigate brain activity in different situations and states of consciousness. I have linked the respective Wikipedia article as the various types of brain waves are described there.



For understanding how Brainwave Entrainment works though, the following summary is sufficient:
During sleep the patterns of brain waves alternate between alpha, theta, delta and sometimes beta frequencies. To lucid dream, the brain has to switch during a dream phase with theta waves briefly to the alpha frequency, inducing awakening. If you now quickly enough switch back to the theta frequency you keep on dreaming and also keep the waking consciousness. You are now in a lucid dream, are conscious that you are dreaming and you can fully control it.

How to lucid dream?

The described switch between the frequencies of the brain waves takes place in every technique for lucid dreaming. This pattern can always be observed.
The most common techniques can be divided into DILD (Dream Induced Lucid Dream) and WILD (Waking Induced Lucid Dream). With DILD you suddenly realize that you are dreaming during an ordinary dream by noticing that something is not normal. In practice, using DILD, you integrate RCs (Reality Checks) into your everyday life until they become so habitual that they are automatically carried out during your dreams, as well, leading to the realization that you are not in reality, but in a dream.
WILD means going directly from waking state into the dream while keeping your waking consciousness. This works best when you wake up at night (preferably towards the morning when the dream phases are becoming longer) and then fall asleep again.



Both types can lead to success.
Unfortunately it takes in the most cases weeks or months of practice to have your first lucid dream and it`s a pity that only very few reach a level of frequent and consistent lucid dreams. Another problem is the short duration of the lucid dreams. Once you realize you are dreaming, you have a couple of seconds of control over your dream, then the waking consciousness becomes too strong and you wake up. Others have the problem to slide back into an ordinary dream since they loose their waking consciousness.
The fast switch from theta to alpha waves and back is accomplished but then the brain jumps back to the alpha frequency again and doesn´t get back into theta quickly enough.  Or it just stays in the theta frequency and you drift off in an ordinary dream.
I don`t want to discourage anyone from trying the common techniques, I myself had some success after a period of intense training and with it weird habits coming from the reality checks;)  However , lucid dreams were rare and never lasted longer than about one minute.

Brainwave Entrainment

I now like to introduce a new method that brings along three concrete advantages:
1. you have lucid dreams immediately
2. the lucid dreams last long (up to the the complete dream phase)
3. you lucid dream frequently and consistently



With this technique the brain waves are brought into the right frequencies by an external stimulus, leading to lucid dreaming. This works in the following way: Sound with different frequencies are played via headphones on both ears. Due to the fact that the frequencies differ between the ears, the brain builds the difference of the two frequencies with its waves by adopting a certain frequency. That way it is possible to affect the brain waves and thereby cause lucid dreams. The brain carries out the described switch from theta to alpha and back and is held in the right frequencies. This doesn`t mean the beats take full control over the brain, but they influence it to adapt to certain frequencies that are crucial for lucid dreams. The dreamer himself thus has control over his dream and can also wake up anytime he likes.
So you only need an mp3 player and the appropriate binaural beats to lucid dream. You get the mp3s in this shop as a download. This means you can start right now! The producers give an 8 week money back guarantee. So there is no risk and no reason not to try it and to instantly lucid dream.
The technique works best like a WILD after waking up at night. So place the mp3 player with the binaural beats next to the bed, maybe set the alarm, play the beats, fall asleep, and lucid dream. Incidentally, the beats don`t distract from falling asleep, in fact they are rather conducive.
Have fun lucid dreaming!
