One of the best known and most widely used techniques for the exploration of the unconscious, extensively adopted by Freud and his followers, is that of dreams. While we will not enter into a discussion of Freud’s system of interpretation, we would point out that although dreams do give access to the unconscious of the subject, we have often found that they give access only to one part of it. In many subjects only one part of the unconscious is able or cares to express itself through dreams.

There are many kinds of dreams: of very different type, quality and meaning.

(We have made a classification of dreams which we hope to include in another Ebook.) In our practice we ask our readers to recount their dreams, and in this book we give them the needed instructions for the analysis of them, but we definitely point out the fact that dream interpretation is only one of the techniques and not the chief one.

Ten Reasons for Lucid Dreaming

1. You can do things that you simply cannot do in waking life. You can fly, you can have super powers, you can walk through walls. You can really do anything you can think of!

2. You can go on wild, mind blowing adventures. Your subconscious has no end to its creativity and weirdness. You can conjure up your own adventures or go along with what the dream creates for you.

3. You can experience what it is like to be different people. You can become anyone you want and live their lives. This is often a rather enlightening and interesting experience.

4. You can fulfill certain fantasies that you can’t in real life. Whether that involves other people or anything at all, you can live out these fantasies without real life consequences.

5. Self exploration is a fascinating aspect of lucid dreaming. You can interpret dreams while you are in them. Ask questions about yourself and ask for advice.

Your subconscious mind is much more honest and much more powerful than your conscious mind. Often you can learn a lot about yourself by interacting with it.

6. Lucid dreaming can also be used in a creative sense. You can view paintings you can paint when awake, hear music you can write or even meet characters for your next story.

7. You can often find profound wisdom within dreams. There are some theories that state that the subconscious mind is connected with something a lot larger than just you. I have personally found this to be the case. You can delve very deep into yourself and beyond and get wise answers and advice.

8. Due to the lack of rules within dreams you can experience almost any concept. This could include something you are studying in school that has been tripping you up. You can use lucid dreams to interact with concepts and visualize them in a new and fascinating way. You can also experience spiritual concepts or learn about how your own mind works.

9. Lucid dreaming can teach you a lot about the subconscious itself. By exploring it and interacting with it you learn about a whole other aspect to your mind that you don’t often get to experience. This is enlightening in the fact that you can work with your subconscious rather than against it in your every day life.

10. The average person spends 1/3 of their lives sleeping. Reclaim those hours by taking up this night time hobby!

Another Hint – the Sleep Paralysis What sleep paralysis is

Sleep paralysis is a naturally occurring process that protects you as you dream. It ensures that you do not act out your dreams and cause yourself harm. This occurs throughout your sleeping pattern, usually during the sleep-wake border.

Sometimes you can wake up into sleep paralysis meaning that you cannot move your body.

121 Why it is feared

It can be disconcerting waking up and not being able to move your body. But once you know that it is a natural occurrence, it becomes a lot less frightening.

Sometimes, but not always, people can experience hallucinations in this state.

These hallucinations can be very vivid and sometimes nightmarish. This occurs because sleep paralysis is a blending of the awake and dream state. People often believe these hallucinations to be real and often complain of an inability to breathe. This is because the body is breathing as though it is asleep which is not as deeply as when awake.

Why not to fear it

I have had many experiences of sleep paralysis and have grown to accept it as a natural process of the body. I do not worry about it occurring because I can recognize it for what it is and whatever hallucinations occur, I know to be not real. So do not be afraid of sleep paralysis or let it deter you from trying lucid dreaming. It can happen to anyone, regardless of their lucid dreaming ability.

Although you are not breathing as deeply as normal, do not be afraid as this is how you breathe when asleep. The hallucinations are caused by your own panic and so are also preventable. Keeping calm is the key to both leaving sleep paralysis and avoiding nightmarish hallucinations.

How to stop sleep paralysis

To get out of sleep paralysis you need to tell the body that it is awake. Here is how:

1. Relax into the paralysis and do not fight it 2. Gently try to wiggle your fingers or toes

3. At the same time, move your eyes and look around the room 4. Try to move your lips and facial muscles

5. Focus on breathing as deeply as possible and do not let panic overrun you 6. Keep a positive attitude and stay relaxed. You could even try imagining something more pleasant, such as a beach or someone you love.

122 The uses of sleep paralysis

I do not recommend using sleep paralysis to have your first lucid dream. Instead read this if you are a beginner.

However, sleep paralysis can be a gateway to both lucid dreams and also OBE’s.

As your body is asleep and your mind is active, it is a lot easier to enter into dreams using the Wake Induced Lucid Dream method as discussed above. So do not fear sleep paralysis. Remain calm and remind your body that you are in fact awake, or if you feel comfortable, use sleep paralysis to become lucid.

Dreams can and often do collapse but that doesn’t mean that you need to wake up.

I have developed a technique that helps you to stay lucid between dreams. When you can tell that your dream is collapsing around you, immediately reaffirm that you are lucid by rubbing your hands together and saying “I am lucid”. I have also detailed it above.

You’re going to need to hold onto this focus.

Next, grab hold of something within the dream. This can be grass, a brick wall, a tree, anything you can get your hands on and really feel.

As the dream fades around you, focus entirely on what you are holding.

Everything will go black around you but with a bit of luck you can still feel what is in your hands.

Keep hold of it and ask for another dream to form or just wait. Eventually another dream will form around you and you can step right into it.

This is a strange state to be in, a very in between awake and asleep state so it can be very easy to wake up. This technique is effective only if you can remain focused and if you have some experience with lucid dreaming. Anyway, enjoy immensely

We may desire and will, but we shall do so vainly if we imagine or fear ourselves to be unable. Our imagination and our thought must tend in the same direction as our desire and will. Hypnosis has also uncovered much about the nature, capacity and depth of the unconscious in recent years, but this is not for the average seeker to pursue. We may need help occasionally in handling problems arising from the unconscious, but it remains our responsibility, our charge, and not to be handed over the dominance of others. The “I” should always remain the conscious director of its components parts.
