After missing a few days of writing over the weekend I am determined not to miss any more. So prepare yourselves for low quality posts occasionally!
I guess I will write a bit about lucid dreaming tonight. It seems like everyone I talk to has had some sort of experience with this to varying extents. If you are unfamiliar with the term, it is when you gain consciousness in a dream. For most people this seems to be a rare, but fun experience. Recently I have been practicing wake induced lucid dreaming, or WILD.
I think most of us are so exhausted when we go to bed at night we just hit the bed and fall asleep. We don't think too much about the transition our bodies and minds make from waking to sleeping. I started paying attention to these states when I decided bedtime was a good time for me to practice my meditation, seeing as I often had trouble falling asleep. I found myself drifting into strange states of consciousness; staying conscious long after, or what seemed to be long after sleep paralysis was induced. This was my starting point into lucid dream research.
You can google this topic for yourself, but I believe you will find a lot more than you expect. Check out lucid dreaming, MILD and WILD methods, and astral projection. If you choose to dive down this rabbit hole as I have, enjoy! It can be a roller coaster of a ride.
Goodnight, and sweet dreams!
