In his recent blockbuster science fiction film, Inception, Leonardo DiCaprio plays a dream thief. His task is to use the latest technique to enter in other people's dream worlds. In the movie, not only will you remember your dreams, but you can literally develop the dream world of your choice and also bounce between several dreams which are buried within other dreams.
Can you do the same? Well, you definitely can not hijack other people's dreams like in Inception. But, you can learn to build your own dream world and manage your dreams.
This is all possible to people that are practicing lucid dreaming techniques and who are taking advantage of natural sleep aids that promote deep sleep levels. A lucid dreamer can actively participate in and manipulate imaginary experiences in the dream environment. Lucid dreams can seem to be extremely real and intense, depending on a person's degree of self-awareness while having the dream.
People find lucid dreaming generally highly enjoyable. They also gain useful insight into life's frequent emotional challenges. Given that you are spending a full one-third of your lifetime asleep, why not take advantage of it and dream to your fullest desires? As soon as you master this, you will instantly reclaim those lost 8 hours each and every night. You will explore a secret universe in which you control everything, just as in the film Inception.
The method for having a state of conscious awareness during the sleep is easy. First, upon going to sleep, decide that you will absolutely become a participant in your dreams. Next, as you float away from your awaked state, keep your focus on something that is very attractive or positive such as an exceptionally pleasant memory during a past vacation, an early childhood memory, or merely focus on the empty screen of the mind as you brush away the free-floating thoughts that go through your mind. This point on the mind-screen is right at the center of the forehead and just above the nose, sometimes called the third eye.
Try it. With a few nights' practice you too can enter into a dimension of awe and wonder and enjoy the delight of your night... lucid dreaming! In case you wish to learn more about lucid dreaming, simply google it. More detailed instructions are available.
You can also take advantage of natural sleep aids to improve your body's ability to access deep dream states in which lucid dreaming happens. The following dietary supplements may help. If you decide to try them out, take them 15-20 minutes before going to sleep.
First, take valerian and chamomile extract. They help you calm down and fall into a lightly tranquil state of relaxation. You will also need some magnesium, melatonin, 5-HTP and indium sulphate. Magnesium relieves tension in your muscles. Melatonin tells the sleep center of the brain to switch off all the excitatory messages in the mind and helps you fall asleep. 5-HTP is a natural precursor to serotonin, another sleep hormone. And, indium sulphate, a rare trace mineral appears to work with the brain's HPA-complex - the master controller of all endocrine function - to put it into a state of balanced homeostasis. Indium sulphate is hard to find, but possibly one of the most important individual ingredients you may want to try.
Many of these natural sleep aids are purchasable in your nearby health foods store. But, there are usually only a handful sleep aids that include indium sulphate. If you can get all these ingredients in one dietary supplement, excellent. If not, you may need to buy them separately and prepare your own mix. It is well worth it.
Inception-like dream states, here we come!
