Lucid Dreaming
Gain creative direction of your subconscious mind, resolve painful dreams, guide your dreamtime astral travel experience and use the symbols and scenes you encounter in dream state to understand your inner psyche.
To begin this journey, start by watching the Welcome Video below.
The specific term, Lucid Dreams, came from a Dutch writer in the late 1800s named Frederik van Eeden who catalogued over 300 of his Lucid Dreams during a 14 year period. “Lucid” means clear or rational.
When you realize that you are dreaming during a dream, this is a lucid dream. It’s a way that your consciousness “wakes up” during your subconscious state, allowing the two realms of your inner being to communicate.
If you choose to take advantage of these opportunities for conscious collaboration, they can give you a wonderful affirmation of what’s going on in your current life and of your ability to shape it.
You can astrally travel during lucid dreams or you can stay in your body for the experience.
The dreamspace is often used for the same purpose as the reading space - to bring unresolved or unexpressed subconscious stuff into the spotlight so this energy can be expressed and released.
What this means is not all dreams are pleasurable - especially release dreams, which may feature aspects of life that make us frustrated or angry.
The good news is you can program yourself to rewrite the endings of even the distressing dreams so they are more positive, which will reflect on how the issue heals in your waking life, which we’ll be doing in this journey.
The benefits of lucid dreaming are:
Gain creative direction of your subconscious mind
Resolve painful dreams that reflect life
Guide your dreamtime astral travel experience
Use the symbols and scenes you encounter in dream state to understand your inner psyche
During this journey, we’ll practice different ways to consciously influence and communicate with your dream state. We’ll also work through processes that will reprogram your dreamstate to rewrite fearful dreams.
We’ll also practice guiding the dreamspace during waking life, so that you’re trained to do it, and thus easier for your mind to recall, during actual dreaming.
Now let’s begin our journey exercises….
Exercises & Activities
1 - Bedtime Clearing & Intention Setting
Every night before you go to bed, you’ll practice cleansing your energy and asking for a new ending to old, painful dreams.
Let it be your last thought.
Eventually, the new ending will happen.
Exercise:
As you fall asleep, visualize yourself surrounded in glowing white light and imagine your image of the Divine radiating brilliant, warm, protective light onto you, cloaking your body from head to toe.
Now state an intention similar to this one:
Dear Spirit Team, should any painful, stressful dreams come to me tonight, please help to transform them into stories of strength, victory and courage.
If you have had recent painful dreams, add your specific ideal resolution connected to your painful dream, by saying “instead of X, let me see Y.”
If you’re looking for guidance on a specific issue, ask to see that in your dream.
Advanced:
If your mind interrupts you to replay the events to the day, begin this exercise by mentally recounting the day's events starting from when you woke up until the present moment. This will help your mind catalogue the day’s events, which will prevent further interruption.
2 - Rewind the Dream
If you are able to remember your dreams right when you wake up or you can pause your dream midway through it, this is an exercise for rewriting unappealing dreams.
Exercise:
Mid-dream or right when you recall the dream upon waking, visualize yourself rewinding it like a video tape until the beginning of the dream.
Starting from the beginning mentally re-tell a different story of the dream.
Guide the dream and the characters in it to be more to your liking.
Advanced:
If you can think of a distressing dream you recently had, try this exercise right now. Inhale and exhale, mentally replay the dream from the beginning but with new scenes that are pleasing.
3 - Daydreaming
The main areas of focus for day dreams are success, love and romance, heroism, fantasy vacations, crisis or failure, astral trips and remote viewing.
Daydreaming is a form of lucid dreaming.
You can rewrite a crisis or failure daydream using the method above to affirm a more positive, happy ending.
Exercise:
Get your body into a relaxed, seated position and as you do, stretch out any muscle that feels tight.
Choose a topic that has been personally of interest to you - perhaps a vacation you’re thinking of or an issue that’s been personally troubling you.
Set a timer for 5 minutes. Lean back in your seat and gaze at the ceiling. Daydream yourself experiencing a happy, optimistic outcome now and into the future.
To Recap
These techniques will begin to form the foundations of Lucid Dreaming, in the Workshop, as well as Part 2 and 3, as we’ll get into increasingly more advanced practices -
