Sleeping is my favorite thing to do, but it’s not the same reason as everyone else. The reason why I love sleeping is that I can lucid dream. A lucid dream is when you are aware that you are dreaming, from that point on you can control your dream and do anything you want. In order to tell if you are dreaming you can check by closing your nose and if you can still breathing that means that you are dreaming. That’s because your real body in bed is not actually moving. Having the power to do anything makes me feel superior. When I am in a lucid dream I have the most amount of excitement, I can meet up with any celebrity, I can spawn everywhere. I can have conversations in dreams that would be impossible for me to have in real life. However, there are cons of lucid dreaming, it is possible to have sleep paralysis, having too much fun in a dream affects your mood in real life. Some people describe lucid dreaming as a drug except it doesn’t have major side effects.
Finally, something that I relate to very much. I love sleeping very much (you can ask my classmates), but one thing that I have never been able to do was to lucid dream. I have read many articles and watched youtube videos, but could never manage to do it. Could you help me reach my goal of lucid dreaming? All in all, your hobby has intrigued me.
ReplyDeleteFor some reason, I never actually understood lucid dreaming until I read your blog. This helped me understand it and the way it works because it's directly coming from a "victim." However, I don't think it's a safe thing to do so I don't think it's something I would want to try. Though, it is a cool thing knowing that our brains can do this. Stay safe out there Anas !!
ReplyDeleteThe scheme in which one is capable of controlling their mind to entertain such powerful activities (liberally manipulating the mind while in its' barely conscious state), reminds me of maladaptive day dreaming which shares some factors with lucid dreaming, however, it is instead done while fully conscious, requires way stronger capacities to control the mind, and is generally done by people with poor mental health or anxiety-filled life circumstances to avoid their realities and feel as if they have more control by creating a metaphysical life that is completely adherent to all their standards and desires.
