A Lucid dream

A Lucid Dream

“Just a dream, Just a dream, I’m given this power to withstand and compete not to escape, and I shall never choose escapism if I’ve the power to fight, I’ll fight, and I’ll win, here in the world of no rules except that one mastering rule: You’re capable of anything, everything.”

I fought, and I won. Then that dream came to an end, I was no longer paralyzed, that paralysis accompanied with the REM sleep stage to prevent us from acting what we experience in that parallel world, the dreamland.

I was aware that I was in the dreamland, and I could control my dream. I managed to rescue myself, and what was meant to be a nightmare turned to be the most outstanding experience I’ve ever had, and at last I’ve tasted the meaning of being a lucid dreamer!

A dream where you’re aware you’re dreaming and you’ve the power to change your actions and the whole scenery, this is the so called “Lucid dreaming” in the world of psychology. Just think about how amazing this idea is and how it would like to be to live in a world of your creation, where you taste the ecstasy of victory and breaking the constraints every single moment, where you’re able to do what is illogical here in the conscious world. Splendid! Not just splendid, it turns to be useful in eliminating nightmares for those with frequent ones.

There are a lot of techniques to have a lucid dream the most common: To do the reality check, by asking yourself frequently “Am I awake?” this helps you realize you’re dreaming when you notice something unfamiliar with the scene. Secondly, keep a dream journal beside you, write down your dreams, your dreams are like your fingerprint, after a while of recording your dreams you’ll get to know your dreams theme that will help you to realize you’re dreaming.

However, the matter of lucid dreaming is controversy, but not a myth, some psychologists believe it’s true whether because they experienced or experimented it, through techniques of measuring the brain waves and eye movement. Some others disagree with the concept of lucid dreaming, they claim that this phenomenon isn’t a sleep state, it is just daydream-like state of semi-wakefulness which turns to give the same side effects as depriving from sleep, others claim that people who report the ability of controlling their dreams, are just deceived by their brains but actually they didn’t have this control or maybe they’re just lying, others consider it a sleep disassociation where a person is both asleep and awake at the same time in the dream state.

Although psychologists, till now, can’t assert a scientific precise explanation to the ability of controlling dreams phenomenon, for me, it turns to be as mysterious as life and a powerful evidence for the reason of our existence.

 “We, lucid dreamers, know we’re dreaming, we control our dreams, we never let a vanishing dream master us, and we win because we’re aware”

“We, believers, know that’s just a dunya, a temporary station, we control it, we never let a vanishing life master us, we win because we believe”

Taffakar!
