What Are Lucid Dreams?

August 4, 2010 by · 1 Comment

If, like most people, you are fascinated with and interested in Lucid Dreams, Lucid Dreaming: Gateway to the Inner Self is a book you’ll want very much to read.

Lucid dreams are those dreams that feel SO REAL that you aren’t 100 percent sure if you’re awake or dreaming. Colors in lucid dreams are more vibrant, sounds are louder, thoughts are clearer.  The emotions felt in the dream register with your emotions the minute you awaken.

Many people believe that they can program themselves to actually have more Lucid Dreams.  They also feel that they can use these lucid dreams for self growth, self help, and self improvement.

The book shown in this post would be an excellent source for the individual who wants to learn more about lucid dreams and lucid dreaming.

Product Description

Lucid Dreaming: Gateway to the Inner Self is the account of an extraordinarily talented lucid dreamer who goes beyond the boundaries of both psychology and religion. In the process, he stumbles upon the Inner Self.

While lucid (consciously aware) in the dream state and able to act and interact with dream figures, objects, and settings, dream expert Robert Waggoner experienced something transformative and unexpected. He was able to interact consciously with the dream observer-the apparent Inner Self-within the dream. At first this seemed shocking, even impossible, since psychology normally alludes to such theoretical inner aspects as the Subliminal Self, the Center, the Internal Self-Helper in vague and theoretical ways. Waggoner came to realize, however, that aware interaction with the Inner Self was not only possible, but actual and highly inspiring. He concluded that while aware in the dream state, one has both a psychological tool and a platform from which to understand dreaming and the larger picture of man’s psyche as well. Waggoner proposes 5 stages of lucid dreaming and guides readers through them, offering advice for those who have never experienced the lucid dream state and suggestions for how experienced lucid dreamers can advance to a new level.

Lucid Dreaming offers exciting insights and vivid illustrations that will intrigue not only avid dreamworkers but anyone who is interested in consciousness, identity, and the definition of reality.

Scratches in the Dream and Scratches in the Morning

Dream Prophesy

A Troubling Dream From a Reader:

I sit up out of the bed with a strange feeling. I look at the clock and its 3:10 still early in the morning. My throat is dry so i get some ice like i always do and try to turn on the kitchen light, but it doesn’t turn on. My mind makes me turn to the door as i feel something there. I see a shadow with a short height as i peer at the dark blue curtains. I walked over to the curtains and opened them up to see my son of 6 years standing outside with a blank expression on his face. I opened the door in a rush and asked him why he was outside at 3 in the morning. He didn’t answer me. When I went to reach for him something gave me a small cut on my hand. I thought nothing of it as I brought him inside. I took off his brown coat and something swiped across my hand again. when I looked at his hand he held up a gold screw about the size of my pinky and I could see the extra sharp point on it. I watched him take his hand across his chest and felt the point swipe across me again. I jumped up out of my bed to notice everything was like my dream. My house was dark, it was 3:10, the only difference was that my light turned on in the kitchen, and my son was peacefully sleeping on the couch. My body was cold and tingling and on my hand were 3 small cuts. They weren’t random as they are above each other…my hand was really scratched..maybe you could help me and tell me what this means or what’s happening to me. I remember dreams often some more than others and I have some dreams repeatedly altho this is the first time I ever had this….thank you.

It’s really a wonder that this sort of thing doesn’t happen more often. While we’re asleep, sometimes we’ll scratch ourselves, get our limbs twisted around, or just find ourselves in some sort of uncomfortable position – then, our mind will work this into our dream. Some people dream that their finger is bitten by an animal only to wake up with their finger in their own mouth!

More likely than not, you somehow managed to scratch yourself while sleeping (it’d be much easier to explain if you had a pet!) – then your mind sort of inserted the experience into your dream.

Many times when we dream of a loved one in this sort of dream, it’s an indication that we were thinking about them right before we drifted off to sleep. I guess that’s why parents so frequently dream of their children.  The dream also seems to indicate that you’ve been somewhat worried about “getting through” to someone recently.  This person could or could not be your son.

It appears that you know what is best for someone else but are having a little trouble helping them to see.  It could be something like trying to convince a friend that she’s wrong about a certain guy or it could be a case of trying to get your son to pick up his toys – it honestly could be just about anything.  However, the intensity of the dream suggests that it’s something you feel very strongly about and that has been worrying you more than you really realize.

As for the clock reading the same time, that can be chalked up to crazy luck.  The fact that you were cold and tingly can be attributed to the fact that you are a mother who was dreaming about her young child.  Lots of emotions are involved there, and your body registered each one.  Also, the fact that this dream seems very much like a lucid dream would explain its extreme effects on you.

Thanks for sharing your dream and I hope your scratches heal soon.

What is Lucid Dreaming?

March 13, 2009 by · Leave a Comment

A lot of people just aren’t sure what makes a dream a Lucid Dream.  It’s fairly easy to identify a Lucid Dream.  Consider the profile of a Lucid Dream:

  • A Lucid Dream is a dream in which you realize you are dreaming.
  • Lucid Dreams are more vivid than other dreams.  The yellows are more yellow, the blues are more blue, the emotions are larger, the fear is stronger, and so on.
  • Have you ever seen the movie Vanilla Sky?  This was an example of Lucid Dreams hitting the big screen!
  • During a Lucid Dream, a certain “clue” or “sign” will alert the dreamer that is actually a dream.

The term Lucid Dream was first used by Frederik van Eeden who used the word “lucid” in the sense of mental clarity. When something tips us off in a dream that it is, in fact a dream, we regain our mental clarity. The clue that tips us off could be seeing someone we realize is deceased, having a magical power such as invisibility, or being able to fly, etc.

Lucid Dreams occur in different “strengths” or “levels.” They’ve gotten a great deal of attention because many people believe we can use them to “control” our dreams and, even, help us solve problems.

In the Lucid Dreams category, watch for many upcoming articles addressing this very premise. As a dreamologist, I am very passionate about Lucid Dreams. I believe they can, like all dreams, give us a lot of insight into our emotions, our thoughts, our core beliefs, etc. A greater sense of self can be gained by paying closer attention to our dreams.

That’s what this site is here for – to help us identify exactly what our dreams mean and what they’re trying to tell us. We’ll learn how to use this information to bring peace into our heart and minds as we build the lives we’ve always… well…dreamed of.

“Dreaming is an act of pure imagination, attesting in all men a creative power, which if it were available in waking, would make every man a Dante or Shakespeare.” – H.F. Hedge

Dream Prophesy is Back and Better Than Before!

What Your Dreams Mean

If you were a regular visitor to the previous Dream Prophesy, you already know what a passion we have for dreams, dream analysis, dream interpretations, the meanings of dreams, and dream prophesy.

We live for this!

If you’re new to Dream Prophesy, please kick back and get comfortable.  We hope you’ll become a regular.

Dream Prophesy was a thriving, hugely popular website and blog for many years.  However, when we added a forum to the site, things went downhill fast.  The software we used was, apparently, easy to hack and that’s pretty much what happened.  We lost our HUGE website and blog in a matter of minutes.

Years of (very) hard work – gone in the blink of an eye.  Talk about leaving a bruise!  Unfortunately, the bruise was so uncomfortable that we considered not trying again.  After all, where’s the fun in starting all over again from zero?!

Then we started thinking about the wonderfully colorful and fascinating people who came to the site and blog regularly.  The people we talked to through e-mail and comments daily.  We missed all of you and didn’t like the thought of not providing a service for you that you obviously benefited from and enjoyed.

So, the bruise has healed, we’re starting all over (like I said, from zero – we don’t have any of our old posts, articles, dream interpretations, dream analyses….anything…. saved) and, to tell you the truth, we’re as excited now as the first time around.  Actually, even more so, because now we know the wonderful dreamers that are on the other side of these words!

Please spread the word amongst everyone you know that Dream Prophesy is back up.  If you go to other blogs and/or forums, please spread the word like first graders spread colds!  The more people who come and share their dreams and thoughts, the better it’ll be, the more fun we’ll all have, and the faster we’ll get this site built back up!!!
