Dreams may not be real but they are a reality of life. Very often you are left totally terrified and you suddenly wake up to realize that it was just a dream - yet the fear and panic are very real. Sometimes you wish for something to happen and it materializes in dream. You wake up to find that nothing has changed and you wish the dream could have lasted longer! This is the unreal reality of dreams.

Dreams are both a barometer of your emotional health and a natural process of emotional release to provide you opportunities for self-healing. They are symbolic indicators of your current behavior pattern and emotional state that require correction. Sometimes the pattern gets resolved when the dream percolates into the waking state and you knowingly or unknowingly adjust your response. However, the art of lucid dreaming gives you full control on the script of your dreams.

Can you take charge of your dreams?

Would it not be nice if you can take control of the state of dreaming just as you control activities in your waking hours? If you think that it is difficult or not possible - you are wrong. In fact, you can easily learn to take charge of your dreams. In order to understand that, first read this basic but useful information about the role and importance of brainwaves.

Your brain controls all your mental and emotional states; whether we you are dreaming, sleeping, thinking, worried, tense, or relaxed. And the brain in turn is controlled by different brainwaves depending upon what you are feeling and doing. The brainwaves connected to dreams lie in the theta region, 4 - 7 Hz; the delta waves (1 - 4 Hz) prevail when you are fast asleep. When you are active and waking your brain will be dominated by alpha waves (7-13 Hz). This information will help you understand how to create awareness in dreams in order to control them.

The art of lucid dreaming

When you are sleeping your brain goes into the low frequency realm of delta brainwaves. When dreaming starts the brainwaves go into the theta region. So, what can you do to become alert but still continue to dream? The trick lies in developing expertise to pick up some alpha waves whereby you are awake, and then quickly falling back to theta state of dreaming. So, now what has happened is that you are mentally alert and yet are dreaming! This is what lucid dreaming is all about. Brainwave entrainment beats make it extremely easy for you.

Brainwave entrainment music

Brainwave technology offers a convenient way to achieve it. There are music recordings of sounds such flowing river, rain, ocean waves, waterfall, gong, etc but are embedded with brain entrainment beats that are designed for lucid dreaming. These beats directly guide your brain to desired brainwave states. You can choose from three forms of entrainment: binaural beats are probably used most commonly and need headphone; monaural beat recordings do not require headphone and are more effective than binaural beats; and isochronic tone recordings, which are the most effective.

Learning the art of lucid dreaming by listening to music embedded with brainwave entrainment beats is going to be highly rewarding for you. By giving proper directions to your dreams, you can gain emotional freedom from a lot of unresolved conflicts manifesting through dreams.

Meditation and self-hypnosis have been the usual ways to go into the lower frequency brainwave states. But now advances in the brainwave entrainment technology have made it possible to get into any desired brainwave state easily, merely by listening to music embedded with some special beats. Among these beats are binaural beats, monaural beats, and isochronic tones. The later two are far more effective. They have been used gainfully for a diverse range of applications, lucid dreaming is just one among them. In fact, you can use them for enhancing creativity, gaining deep relaxation, confidence building, enhancing memory power, and so on.

Self-awareness is the foundation of every self-growth program and it is always beneficial to learn about various dimensions of self-awareness.
