Spiritual Wellbeing - How to Lucid Dream

Self-Health Share

Today, I was given the opportunity to learn more about Lucid Dreaming and what I learnt was definitely worth sharing to my self-health audience. I’d heard of Lucid Dreaming but hadn’t really internalised what it is and how it can be used to heal until today. This blog will tell you how to lucid dream.

Everyone Can Do This

I am a super fan of self-health, anything we can do to and for ourselves, and this is a perfect example of just that. The brilliance of it is that it is a free tool and everyone can do it, because absolutely everyone dreams and can train themselves to do this. #fullyaccessible

What is Lucid Dreaming?

Lucid dreaming is becoming aware, whilst you are dreaming, that you are dreaming and taking control of the dream; dream mastery.

By accessing your subconscious mind in this way, you will discover exactly what is going on inside your own head and potentially save yourself a fortune in therapy! It’s fun because this is a world of infinite possibilities, the rules of the waking world do not apply and you can make anything you want to happen take place.

Yes, you may choose to start off by manifesting your wildest fantasies but once you’ve achieved all of those, this becomes a safe and perfect space to heal all your wounds and help you to achieve your best life.

Access Your Higher Self

The part of your mind which creates your dreams is your Higher Self, or as Lucid Dream expert Charlie Morley calls it, the Dreamer. It helps to think of it as a being in terms of learning to work with it.

When you Lucid Dream, you create synchronicity in the real world, it leads to physical manifestations. This is electromagnet radiation in practise; we’re made of energy, we attract what we transmit.

Lucid Dreaming Uses

Lucid Dreaming is used to cure Post Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) by the Ministry of Defence, expert Charlie Morley does this for them. It’s used to treat nightmares, addictions, abuse and just about anything which is not serving wellbeing.

Because the Rapid Eye Movement State (REM) evolved for us to be able to integrate trauma. So with Lucid Dreaming you’re accessing this process and working with yourself to resolve it.

Your Higher Self or Dreamer, because it’s part of you, treads lightly to keep you safe. Think about that part of your mind that stops you from reliving your trauma whilst you’re awake, its making a relationship with that part of you.

Safety Tips

If, anything or anyone scary pitches up, you’re supposed to embrace it with love and acceptance. Which is the same rule with any healing, come with love and compassion and it will chase away and dissolve the shadows.

How do you do Lucid Dream

Charley talks about 4 key stages to Lucid Dreaming.

Step 1

Recalling Dreams - you need to be able to remember your dreams and a lot of us can’t, believing we just don’t dream. I have to say I am at the other end of the spectrum where I wake up exhausted, this is because I’m astroprojecting all over the Galaxy.

Just as you feel yourself slipping into the dream state, for me this feels like I am falling through a hedge backwards, my entire body feels heavy and woozy, you need to set the intention for recall. He recommends chanting “Tonight I will remember my dreams, I have excellent dream recall”, 21 times!!!

It may take a couple of nights to work but it will definitely work.

Step 2

Keep a dream diary - this gives you insight into your internal mind-scape, knowledge on what you are actually dreaming about and simultaneously let’s your Higher Self know you are engaging with it.

Step 3

Dream Signs - By following Step 2, you will be able to recognise patterns and signs that tell you you are in your dream world. Because our dreams are so real, we are out of touch with our ability to wake up and master them. Apparently we have this gift from birth, we just lose touch with it, so Lucid Dreaming is a re-connect.

Here you are looking for things out of the ordinary waking world you live in right now.

Step 4

Dream Plan - All you need now is a plan, an intention you wish to achieve from the dream. This could be ending an addiction or bad relationship with your self or another, healing an injury or past trauma. Just know what you seek, then write it out in detail, flesh it out by making it 3D or draw it.

And finally, create a call to action, what you’re going to call out once you find yourself consciously in your dream. That could be something like “heal my back injury” or “Inner child come forward” or “show me who I am” or “Show me what career I want”. It really can be anything but it has to be active.

Lucid Dreaming Tools

There are various Essential Oils that I can recommend to help to stimulate this process and your memory; Rosemary, Lavender, Melissa, Sweet Marjoram and Vetiver. All of which I sell, check out my online doTerra shop and call me with any problems or if you’d like a Bespoke Blend.
