We have normal dreams everyday and most of the
times, they come to our life as nothing. Just 7 or 8 hours of sleep
gone by. Do something about those dreams, about the time that is lost
forever. Through dreams, we can enlarge our consciousness, letting us
be more aware of what we experience in life… not just an awaking state,
but a whole new world in a sleeping state that is revealed if the dreamer is willing to make the conscious effort to make it happen.

In the past posts, we have discussed about the different kinds of psychic dreams people may have including:

• Prophetic Dreams
• Warning Dreams
• ESP Dreams
• Out-of-the-Body Dreams
• Survival Dreams
• Reincarnation Dreams
• Lucid Dreams

Sometimes
dreams can be used to help us solve problems that we have a frustrating
time to solve when we are awake. If things are ambiguous or puzzling,
one can suggest him or herself that the problem will be solved upon
awakening, putting the faith that an answer will come to the problem
right before they fall asleep and finding the answer later in the
conscious state.

Anything the sleeper wants to know or think of
when waking up, one can program the mind to give them just that before
hand and use autosuggestion, or light repeated phrases, right before
drifting off into a dreamy state. This may also condition the mind to
come up with new ideas and possibilities for creating a solution to a
problem in life.

If one hopes to further develop ESP capability, one should continue to keep suggesting to the conscious and unconscious
(this can be done through the directions on lucid dreaming below) that
he or she is able to receive external sources outside of their ordinary
senses permits them to do.

Katharine Cover Sabin (ESP and Dream Analysis), shows a way of how a dreamer who to have psychic dreams can do cite mantras to themselves:

The
novice should begin his system of autosuggestion by pointing to the
solar plexus area, and addressing the subconscious as follows: ‘my
dreams are becoming progressively more outstanding and predictive. I
shall remember my dreams after I wake up.’ These suggestions should be
given at intervals during the day and upon retiring.”

Something
similar, in your own words, through repeated daily practice and faith
will also help bring out the psychic types of dreams from the books. To
help this, dreamers should also always have a “dream diary” of some
sort where they record their dreams. This not only helps with symbols
and meanings of dreams and how they connect to the real world, but also
helps us stay conscious in lucid dreams. You never know if a dream that
is written in your diary will really unfold in reality.

How to Have a Lucid Dream

Lucid
dreams are dreams where one is completely conscious of themselves while
they are dreaming. This is something completely different from a
typical dream that people have. The body will most likely be paralyzed
at this point (this usually freaks people out which makes a lucid dream
disappear), but if one is calm and collected, then there’s a good
chance that they can begin a lucid dream and even control the outcome
of the dream. But, the key to have a lucid dream is to stay conscious right before you go to sleep. Here are some tips to help you out with your journey.

1.
Buy a notebook and label it, “My Dream Journal.” Your goal with this
journal is to help you become more aware of your dreams, that you are
serious about remember dreams from an unconscious state in a conscious
state and linking these two worlds together. You will jot down little
tidbits of dreams you remember upon waking up and keep your dream
journal nearby you when you are sleeping.

2. Before falling asleep, try your best to stay conscious. Do this when you know
you are tired and are about to fall asleep within the next few minutes
of lying in bed. It might help if you keep your eyelids open, while
you’re drifting off to sleep, and as your eyelids naturally close, open
them up again. Once you enter the dreamy state, after doing that small
act, you will become more conscious in your unconscious state and be
more likely to one time spontaneous catch yourself being awake in your
dream.

3. If you do find yourself being awake in your dream, do not panic. Stay calm.
This is because if you start to jolt of panicking, the lucid dream may
stop and you may find yourself awake, then having to start all over
again. Just relax and try imagining something cool happening like
flying.

4. When you wake up, record your dream. The easier
it is for you to remember your dreams in vivid detail, the better you
will get a lucid dreaming. This is because only a person who is
completely conscious of their dreams would be able to remember what
they did. Think of it this way, can you remember what you did an hour
ago? Of course, you will conscious when whatever you did an hour ago
happened. It’s the same if you can remember your dreams just like you
would in reality.

5. Throughout the day, be
more attentive to your dreams and your dream journal. Look at it from
time to time as once night time hits you, you to feel more conscious in your dreams.

6.
Also, through the day, ask yourself, “Am I awake?” This might sound
silly at first but if you seriously keep asking yourself, “Am I awake?”
The answer is yes. Be conscious of this. Then when you are dreaming, if
you happen to be slightly conscious enough to know dream but
ask yourself, “Am I awake?” The answer might be, “Yes.” If you answered
that you are awake while your dreaming, then you are in a lucid dream.

7. Look out for dream signs such as something that happens in your dream that reoccurs
again and again. This may be a clue that whenever that happens in your
dream, you are having a lucid dream. Write them down in your notebook.

8.
As for dream signs, the purpose of them is to have a link again between
the unconscious world and the conscious world. This shouldn’t be too
complicated. For example, you see a person in your dream often that you
do see in real life. When you see this person in real life, you will
refer back to your dream. Then when you are dreaming, you will see this
person in real life and ask yourself, is this person really here. If
you conscious enough to know the answer is no, then you’re dreaming.

9.
Try your best to relate the dream world with the real world through
random signs that seem to happen in both worlds repeating steps 1 – 9
for a few weeks, or until you make that transition.

10. Have fun!

In
conclusion, the world of dreams in limitless. There are dreams that
help us predict the future, there are dreams that give us warning that
something is going to happen, there are dreams that give us extra
senses, there are dreams that let us fly outside of our body, there are
dreams that let us communicate with the dead, there are dreams that
show us who we were before this life, and there are dreams that don’t
seem like dreams at all, but feels like reality.

All this stuff is possible but one just has to believe in it and put faith in it. Just like any other obstacle in life, psychic
dreams don’t come easily. It takes consistent practice. Sometimes, even
a dose of luck is needed. Programming oneself daily to have psychic
abilities, like the many people in the accounts of Hanz Holzer’s book, The Psychic Side of Dreams, will help one increase the chances of having psychic dreams.

That concludes this series of dreams. Good luck on adventuring through them as you really never know what kind of new thing you will experience in your dreams that you’ll never be able to experience in the real world.
