What is lucid dreaming?

Lucid dreaming is being aware you are dreaming while dreaming. For first-time lucid dreamers, this usually happens due to a strange occurrence in the dream, such as flying or seeing a strange creature appear. Some first-time lucid dreamers are able to stay in this dream for a while, but many become disturbed and wake up from the dream.

If you are in a lucid dream, you will usually have some power over your dream- anything from being able to fly or making an object or room appear behind a door or inside a pocket, right up to being able to change into animals and manipulate your dream world. It is like being a director of your own movie. Through dream research, lucid dreams have been scientifically proven to exist.

Why did I create the course?

I have been researching and experimenting with lucid dreaming for the last decade. But I was no natural lucid dreamer. For most of those years, I was only able to have lucid dreams sporadically. It wasn’t until this past year that I perfected my own techniques for consistent lucid dreaming. I read countless books/eBooks on lucid dreaming, dream interpretation, and sleep. I tested many induction techniques and over a dozen dream supplements as well.

What did I find out? Lucid dreaming isn’t rocket science. There are proven techniques out there that anyone can put to use. I use these techniques to have lucid dreams whenever I want, almost every night. This has significantly improved my waking life.

Many lucid dreaming beginners are concerned about the potential negative effect lucid dreaming may have on their sleep quality. But is this concern unnecessary? Based on my own experiences, and lucid dreaming research, lucid dreaming provides the same quality of sleep as non-lucid. In both cases (lucid and non-lucid), a good dream can make you feel blissful and provide positive energy throughout your day, and a bad dream can make you feel tired and negative. The difference of lucid dreaming: You have control over your dreams when you are lucid, so you generally wake up happier and with more energy.

Lucid Dreaming Shows Similar Brain Activity to Non-Lucid Dreaming

Whether you are lucid (aware you’re dreaming) or not, you are still in REM sleep. Your brain has similar activity either way. There was an interesting study conducted on EEG activity during lucid dreaming that provides evidence of this. The study determined that “there were no important differences observed in the EEG activity of our LD signaller when LD REM and undisrupted, presumably nonlucid, REM samples were compared.”

Lucid Dreaming Techniques May Affect Sleep Quality

Lucid dreaming in itself does not have an effect on sleep quality. However, you may notice some grogginess if you are attempting new lucid dreaming techniques. Additionally, if you try too hard to have lucid dreams, you could lose sleep due to your excitement in anticipating a lucid dream before going to sleep. For example, when using the Wake Back to Bed (WBTB) technique, you wake up after 6 hours, stay up for 30-60 minutes, and go back to sleep. You may have trouble going back to sleep the first few times you try this technique. It may be better to save techniques like WBTB for the weekend, or days when you are able to sleep in later.

Sleep Supplements and REM Rebound

REM Rebound (Wikipedia definition): The lengthening and increasing frequency and depth of REM sleep which occurs after periods of sleep deprivation. When people are prevented from experiencing REM, they take less time to return to the REM state.

You can take a sleep supplement (Melatonin or 5-HTP) to suppress REM and increase the amount of time you are in “deep sleep” (N-REM) in your earlier sleep cycles. Then you can attempt your lucid dreaming during later sleep cycles. This will help you get better quality sleep earlier in the night, and increase the likelihood of lucidity in  later cycles due to a REM Rebound effect.

Poll Results about Sleep Quality and Lucid Dreaming

There was a poll conducted on Dream Views which asked “Is Lucid Dreaming affecting your sleep quality?” The results were that over 50% of lucid dreamers notice they are LESS tired the next day after lucid dreaming. So the lucid dreamers responding to the poll could either be getting better quality sleep, or are so excited about their lucid dream that it offsets any grogginess.

If you have a few beers, glasses of wine, or mixed drinks one evening, how does this impact your sleep and dreams? Can you still have lucid dreams that night? This is a somewhat controversial subject, and reasonably so. There are benefits and drawbacks to drinking the evening before lucid dreaming. If you search the Dream Views forum, you will get mixed answers as to whether or not lucid dreaming can be combined with drinking alcohol.

The Main Drawbacks of Drinking Alcohol Before Lucid Dreaming

Reduced Dreaming and Dream Recall: Drinking reduces the amount of time spent in REM sleep, and the number of dreams you will be able to recall. Even if you wake up and recall your dreams, you may be too tired write them in your dream log.

Difficulty waking up: Drinking can make it more difficult to wake up to record your dreams or perform a lucid dreaming induction technique in the middle of the night. Upon waking, you are usually in a groggier state, and have less willpower than if you had slept sober.

Other negative side effects of drinking before sleep: Interference with “restorative deep sleep” (N-REM) and suppression of Melatonin, which is a hormone that helps regulate sleep.

The Main Benefit of Drinking Alcohol and Lucid Dreaming: Suppressing REM, Causing REM Rebound after it has worn off

REM Rebound (Wikipedia definition): The lengthening and increasing frequency and depth of REM sleep which occurs after periods of sleep deprivation. When people are prevented from experiencing REM, they take less time to return to the REM state.

If you have a chance to sleep in on the morning after you are drinking: You can take advantage of REM Rebound. What does this mean? Earlier in the night, when the alcohol is still in your system, you won’t have very much “dream sleep” (REM). After it has worn off, you will have much more longer and vivid dreams during your later REM sleep.

If you can’t sleep in on the morning after you are drinking: You probably won’t remember much of your dreams from that night, or experience lucid dreams. You may have some dream recall, but this depends on how much you drank, and how early in the evening you stopped drinking. Luckily, the next night, when you are sleeping sober, you will likely have a REM rebound effect. This will allow you to experience more dreams, and have greater chances of lucid dreaming.

My Experiences With Lucid Dreaming and Alcohol

I keep a detailed log of the food, drinks and supplements I consume before attempting lucid dreaming. For the majority of lucid dreams I have logged, I didn’t consume alcohol the night before. But I have logged some lucid dreams after drinking one or two alcoholic beverages the night before. For me, it seems that one to two drinks is okay, but more than that has had a negative impact on my dream recall and lucid dreaming. Additionally, if I am going to drink before lucid dreaming, I will try to drink earlier, so the REM Rebound has time to kick in.

Transitioning from an awake, physical state to the dream world without breaking consciousness is one of the most strange and unique experiences you can have. For non-lucid dreamers, the transition happens after they have already lost consciousness, so they don’t remember it. For lucid dreamers, the transition to the dream world is one that they will never forget. To avoid confusion, here is an overview of the two types of lucid dreams.

Types of Lucid Dreams

Dream Initiated Lucid Dream (DILD): Starting in a dream, and becoming lucid while in your dream. This is the most common type of lucid dream. For most dreamers, this is the easiest type to initiate.

Wake Initiated Lucid Dream (WILD): Starting awake and conscious, and initiating a lucid dream without breaking your state of consciousness.

Hypnagogic Imagery

Wake-Initiated Lucid Dreams are sometimes referred to as an out of body experience or astral projection. WILD techniques are usually not successful at normal bedtime. The best time to practice these is in the late morning hours or during an afternoon nap. While WILDs are more difficult to induce than Dream-Initiated Lucid Dreams (DILDs) initially, once mastered, WILDs can be induced at will.

Sensations During a WILD Transition

It is difficult to put the waking transition to the lucid dream state into words. It is something you must experience for yourself. It is one of the most strange and unique experiences you will ever have. However, here are some common sensations you may have when transitioning to the dream state.

Sight:

• Early part of transition: Hypnagogic imagery- random speckles, geometric shapes, bright light and images that a person sees as they are moving into a sleep state
• Middle part of transition: Dream imagery starts to take shape. Dream images last longer and become more vivid.
• Final part of transition: Dream imagery takes over your sense of sight. It’s as if a light came on.

Sound:

• Early part of transition: Hypnagogic sounds- random sounds accompany hypnagogic imagery. Sometimes these can be very loud and alarming.
• Middle part of transition: Sounds start to last longer and become audible. You may start to hear dream characters from the dream you are entering before seeing them.
• Final part of transition: Sounds become fully audible. You are able to hear and understand sounds from the dream scene.

Feeling:

• Early part of transition: Body parts begin to feel like they are floating, you begin to feel mild vibrations, and may experience a faster heartbeat
• Middle part of transition: You start to identify more with your “floating” dream body instead of your physical body
• Final part of transition: You start to feel intense vibrations, sudden acceleration. You identify fully with your dream body.

You will often go through several cycles of these. For example, if you get too excited or move your physical body as you initially start to transition to the dream world, you may stop experiencing these sensations and have to start over and let your body relax. After you relax for a while, you will experience these sensations again and have another chance to transition to the dream world.

Entering the Dream Scene

Here are the ways I have experienced entering the dream scene, from most-common to least-common:

• Fast transition: Body has floating sensation and vibrations. Sudden brightness and transition to the dream scene. Take control of my dream body.
• Slower transition: Body has floating sensation and vibrations. See hypnagogic imagery, brightness. Feel acceleration and finally enter the dream scene. Take control of my dream body.
• Fast transition: Body has floating sensation and vibrations. Hear hypnagogic sounds first,  then sounds from dream, and transition to the dream scene. Take control of my dream body.

Different Types of Dream Scenes Entered

Here are the two types of dream scenes I usually enter:

• Random dream location: Typically similar to a waking life location I have been to. I usually enter the scene laying on the ground in my dream body. These have been at outdoor locations more often than indoor.
• Laying on bed in my apartment: Very realistic-looking apartment, similar to a false awakening (dream within a dream). The view is the same as if I’m sitting up in my bed. I see my body on the bed and step out of it (out of body experience).

Strange Experiences and Sleep Paralysis

You may have some other strange experiences during the transition due to sleep paralysis. For example, I had an experience of opening my physical eyes while still in my dream body (documented below).

Sleep paralysis: The American Psychological Association defines sleep paralysis as the “brief inability to move or speak just before falling asleep or on awakening… accompanied by hallucinations.”

Read my Review of Sleep Paralysis: A Dreamer’s Guide eBook by Ryan Hurd

I had a bizarre experience when I started to transition to the dream, and experienced sensations of sleep paralysis, but managed to open my real eyes. I was in my dream body, so I had the sensation of looking left and right in the dream environment, but my dream vision did not change. It was like I was looking at a picture. It was very bizarre. Here are some notes from that experience:

Woke up around 6 AM. Go back to bed. Feel vibrations and floating, signs that I was about to enter a dream. Thought I transitioned to my dream but saw darkness. I opened my eyes and saw an odd view of my room. It was a sideways view from me sleeping on my left side looking towards the window. I tried moving my head and looking around, but all I saw was a “picture” of that same view. I was in my dream body, but because my real eyes were open, I could not see the dream environment. After a few minutes of this, I woke up.

Looking back on this, I should have made an effort to close my physical eyes so I could fully enter the dream environment. But I was too confused at the time.

If you spend the day spaced out and caught up in the elaborations of the conceptual mind, you are likely to do the same in dream. And if you are more present when awake, you will also find that presence in dream.

-Tenzin Wangyal Rinpoche, The Tibetan Yogas of Dream and Sleep

A lucid dream is a dream in which you are aware that you are dreaming. There are many reasons people decide to try lucid dreaming. Here are a few of the more popular reasons:

• Fun (ex. flying, superhero abilities)
• Treatment for nightmares
• Rehearsing an activity for your waking life (ex. sport, musical performance)
• Self knowledge and personal growth

These are all great reasons, but most dreamers have not considered another positive side effect to lucid dreaming. When you become lucid within a dream, you practice living in the moment and maintaining awareness of your dream state. If you let your thought patterns slip into autopilot mode in a lucid dream, you will likely forget that you are dreaming and lose lucidity. Early lucid dreamers often lose lucidity or get excited and wake up from the dream. But experienced lucid dreamers learn to maintain awareness in the dream.

Taking Advantage of Your Senses in Waking Life

Somewhere along my lucid dreaming journey, I started to notice a lot more around me than before in my waking life. Before lucid dreaming, my waking life thoughts and tasks would be leave me in autopilot mode more frequently. I would be stuck deep in thought, not taking advantage of my senses, not enjoying the moment and my external environment.

As it is, I would say about 80 to 90 percent of most people’s thinking is not only repetitive and useless, but because of its dysfunctional and often negative nature, much of it is also harmful. Observe your mind and you will find this to be true. It causes a serious leakage of vital energy.

-Eckhart Tolle, The Power of Now

What I Learned about Lucid Dreaming and Living in the Present

The lucid dreaming habit of maintaining awareness in the dream state seems to flow into waking life. Lucid dreaming foundational practices helped me become more conscious in waking life initially. For example, performing reality checks (asking myself “Am I dreaming?”) throughout the day initially led to more consciousness of the present. Also, practicing dream yoga techniques such as “recognizing the dream-like nature of life” helped. But overall, experiencing lucid dreams and prolonging the dreams by maintaining awareness has made the biggest impact.

Just as your habits you have in waking life are reflected in your dream world, the reverse is also true. The habits you develop in your dream world are reflected in your waking life.

Sleep Paralysis: A Dreamer's Guide

The American Psychological Association defines sleep paralysis as the “brief inability to move or speak just before falling asleep or on awakening… accompanied by hallucinations.” 1 This harmless period of immobility, derived from muscle paralysis or atonia, happens every night as a natural side-effect of dreaming sleep. But, when we become self-aware of this process, the trouble begins . . . This paralysis and its associated visions are a misunderstood aspect of the dreaming world that causes many people undue stress and shame.

-Ryan Hurd, Sleep Paralysis: A Dreamer’s Guide

As Ryan Hurd explains, Sleep Paralysis is one of the most misunderstood sleep phenomenons. If you’ve ever felt these sensations during sleep, it’s likely you suffered from Sleep Paralysis:

• Unable to move or feeling of being held down
• Feeling like gravity is shifting around, or that you are floating or sinking
• Hearing strange sounds or voices such as your name being called
• Fear and terror, feeling a presence in your room
• Seeing an apparition or nightmare figure in your room
• Having an out-of-body experience

This condition happens to 40% of the world’s population at least once in their lives. But for some, it happens night after night.

Ryan Hurd’s Sleep Paralysis eBook

Sleep Paralysis: A Dreamer’s Guide was born out of Ryan’s own struggle with isolated sleep paralysis. He experienced his first encounter when he was only fourteen, and didn’t realize it was sleep paralysis until several years later. The book provides practical advice on the causes of sleep paralysis, tactics to take control when it does happen, strategies for confronting apparitions, and advanced dreaming techniques for coping with sleep paralysis. The eBook also includes a useful worksheet to follow along with as you complete the reading. The worksheet allows you to create your own action plan for coping with sleep paralysis, using the tactics described in Ryan’s book.

My Review of Sleep Paralysis: A Dreamer’s Guide

The first time I encountered sleep paralysis was terrifying- I couldn’t move my body or wake myself up. This was especially scary due to its effect on both my mind and body. Ryan’s eBook is the best resource for sleep paralysis sufferers I have found. Ryan reveals the main triggers of SP, and tactics for coping with it. The triggers were surprising- I didn’t realize that stress, jet lag and diet could be triggers/causes of sleep paralysis. I have tested several of the tactics for coping with sleep paralysis in the eBook, and they work.

I found that Sleep Paralysis: A Dreamer’s Guide is written and organized in a way that is very accessible and easy to read. Additionally, each chapter of eBook is very well-written and detailed. Ryan provides many examples of his own experiences with SP. He also pulls together the latest sleep and dream research on SP, adding his own voice and insights. And best of all, the included worksheet helps the reader develop their own action plan for coping with sleep paralysis.

My favorite two chapters of the eBook describe how to use sleep paralysis as an opportunity to dream consciously. This puts a positive spin on sleep paralysis as a “blessing in disguise” that can be used as a gateway to lucid dreaming. For the more adventurous dreamers, there is even a chapter on how to trigger sleep paralysis.

The eBook includes details on how to successfully:

• Identify the biggest triggers of sleep paralysis in your life
• Spot everyday foods and beverages that aggravate sleep paralysis
• Learn about herbs and supplements that quell anxiety
• Set up your bedroom for better sleep and less nightmares
• Recognize the warning signs of a “ghost attack” hallucination and learn how to ground yourself
• Develop your own “safe ground” for when those fearful creatures sit on the bed
