[QUOTE="Doc 05, post: 227565, member: 11873"] Day 2 of a 10 day online lucid dreaming course I signed up for: By: Chris Hammond, FOUNDER, WORLD OF LUCID DREAMING ACADEMY [TABLE] [TR] [TD][LEFT][/LEFT] [TABLE] [TR] [TD]One of the most wonderful things about lucid dreaming is that it will change your entire perspective on life! That may sound like a grand claim – but it's absolutely true! It's simply not possible to invoke [I]consciousness [/I]during a dream without having a good, solid appreciation of it during your waking life. :) You see, lucid dreaming isn't just about having fun controlling your dreams - detonating nuclear bombs with a blink of your eyelid – or travelling backwards in time to visit the kings of ancient civilizations. Sure you can do that... But it's also about understanding the [I]power of your own mind[/I] – and discovering a deeper appreciation of the nature of our conscious experiences. So today we'll talk a little about mindfulness, or as some call it 'lucid waking'.[/TD] [/TR] [/TABLE] [/TD] [/TR] [/TABLE] [TABLE] [TR] [TD][LEFT][/LEFT] [TABLE] [TR] [TD][TABLE] [TR] [TD]Second Principal: Waking Awareness[/TD] [/TR] [/TABLE][/TD] [/TR] [/TABLE] [/TD] [/TR] [/TABLE] [TABLE] [TR] [TD][LEFT][/LEFT] [TABLE] [TR] [TD][/TD] [/TR] [/TABLE] [/TD] [/TR] [/TABLE] [TABLE] [TR] [TD][LEFT][/LEFT] [TABLE] [TR] [TD][I]Mindfulness [/I]is a key lucid dreaming strategy. This means being aware of your reality in your everyday waking life. Some experts call it 'lucid waking'. Many people don't realize the impact that lucid waking has on their dream life...

[B]This is consensus reality! Based on your brain processing your senses.[/B] You may feel as if you have truly walked for the first time in your life! [HEADING=1]Summary[/HEADING] When you become more mindful - even just for a few minutes every day – you think more lucidly in the moment. The more you practice it during the day time, the more automatic it becomes at [I]night[/I], too. Over time this awareness will assist your mind to recognise when you are dreaming and therefore become conscious inside that dream. Have a think about that guys – and stay tuned. Because tomorrow we delve into awareness during sleep. Yours,[/TD] [/TR] [/TABLE] [/TD] [/TR] [/TABLE] [/QUOTE]
