What Is Lucid Dreaming?
Lucid dreams occur when you are asleep yet are aware that you are dreaming.
The similarity of hypnosis to the REM state makes it a perfect technology for learning lucid dreaming. That’s why we created the How To Lucid Dream, an audio hypnosis session.
You are conscious of the fact that the events racing through your head are unreal. However, the dream seems vivid and genuine. As if you were directing a movie while you slept, you could even be able to direct how the action takes place.
According to studies, around half of all adults may have experienced at least one lucid dream. However, they most likely only occur a few times a year on average.
Lucid Dreams: When Do They Occur?
Rapid eye movement (REM) sleep, a stage of extremely deep sleep characterized by eye movement, faster breathing, and increased brain activity, is when lucid dreams are most prevalent.
About 90 minutes after you first fall asleep, you often enter REM sleep. About 10 minutes pass during it. Each REM phase gets longer while you sleep, eventually lasting up to an hour.
Research on Lucid Dreams
Neuroscientists are unsure about the precise mechanisms and causes of lucid dreams. But they do have some thoughts.
For starters, research has revealed physical variations between the brains of those who have lucid dreams and those who do not. People who have lucid dreams have larger prefrontal cortex regions, which are located in the front of the brain and are responsible for higher-level functions including decision-making and memory retrieval. This implies that those who are most likely to have lucid dreams are usually self-reflective sorts who mull over ideas in their minds.
In a tiny study conducted in Germany, individuals’ brain electrical activity was monitored as they slept. According to these observations, the researchers suggest that lucid dreaming may represent a sort of “between state” in which you are neither entirely awake nor asleep.
Some sleep experts disagree with the long-held belief that dreams may only occur during REM sleep and contend that lucid dreams can occur at any time.
- Less anxiety. A lucid dream might give you a sensation of control that may linger with you and give you a sense of empowerment. You can control the plot and the resolution while you are conscious that you are dreaming. That could help those who experience nightmares by teaching them how to manage their dreams.
- Better motor skills. You might have a sense of power and control during a lucid dream that you might carry with you for the rest of your life. While you are aware that you are dreaming, you can influence the story and its conclusion. By demonstrating how to control their dreams, that might benefit people who experience nightmares..
- Improved problem-solving. Researchers discovered some evidence that suggests lucid dreams may aid people in solving issues more creatively than logically, such as conflicts with others (such as a math problem).
- More creativity.Some participants in lucid dream studies were able to generate original thoughts or insights, occasionally with the aid of dream figures.
