Your Questions About Binaural Beats Lucid Dreaming

Binaural Beats answers:

Sorry to disappoint you but you won’t be able to lucid dream within a week.

Since it doesn’t come naturally for you, of course it’s going to be a learned method. I understand you want to lucid dream badly but it takes time and practice.

Humans have an amazing ability to have multiple dreams per night, so if you are that desperate, wake up at intervals, say whatever you remember into a voice recorder (the generic one on your cellphone would be perfect) and then fall asleep again. Write down everything afterwards– colors if any, the scenery, people, animals, monsters, any kind of details.

I haven’t tried this but I’ve heard you can induce a lucid dream by listening to certain music tracks. Delta induction and binaural beats and such. Check out iDoser and Sbagen for more information.

And just for the record, that looking at hands/clocks thing… It doesn’t work– you need to find other ways to know you are dreaming. For me, if I can fly/jump really high, I’m dreaming and it’s time to get the imagination going.

Binaural Beats answers:

During the day repeatedly ask ‘Am I dreaming?’ and perform some reality checks whenever you remember. With practice, if it happens enough, you will automatically remember it during your dreams and do it.

Keep a dream journal. This is perhaps the most important step towards lucid dreaming. Keep it close by your bed at night, and write in it immediately after waking. Or you can keep a recording device if you find it easier to repeat your dream out loud. This helps you recognize your common dream elements (people from your past, specific places, etc.), and also tells your brain that you are serious about remembering your dreams!3Learn the best time to have a lucid dream. By being aware of your personal sleep schedule, you can arrange your sleep pattern to help induce lucid dreams.

Studies strongly suggest that a nap a few hours after waking in the morning is the most common time to have a lucid dream.Lucid dreams are strongly associated with REM sleep. REM sleep is more abundant just before the final awakening. This means they most commonly occur right before waking up. (Sleep-onset REM is a symptom of narcolepsy. If you have lucid dreams right after falling asleep, you may wish to consider seeking medical advice from a sleep medicine specialist. However, there are studies which show people can recall dreams after being awakened during non-REM sleep).Dreams usually run in 60-minute (Weiten Psych book 2004) cycles during sleep. If you are working on dream recall, it may be helpful to try waking yourself up during one of these cycles (interrupted dreams are often the ones we remember).4Try Stephen Laberge’s mnemonic induction of lucid dreaming (MILD) technique.

Set your alarm clock to wake you up 4 1/2, 6, or 7 1/2 hours after falling asleep.When you are awakened by your alarm clock, try to remember the dream as much as possible.When you think you have remembered as much as you can, return to your place of rest, imagining that you are in your previous dream, and becoming aware that you are dreaming. Say to yourself, “I will be aware that I’m dreaming,” or something similar. Do this until you think that it has “sunk in.” Then go to sleep.If random thoughts pop up when you are trying to fall asleep, repeat the imagining, self-suggestion part, and try again. Don’t worry if you think it’s taking a long time. The longer it takes, the more likely it will ‘sink in,’ and the more likely you will have a lucid dream.5Attempt the WBTB (Wake Back To Bed) Technique. This is the most successful technique.
Fall asleep.Set your alarm clock to 5 hours after you fall asleep.After you wake up, stay up for an hour with your mind focused on lucidity and lucidity only.Go back to sleep using the MILD technique.6Try attempting the WILD (wake initiated lucid dream) technique. Basically what it means is that when you fall asleep you carry your awareness from when you were awake directly into REM sleep and you start out as a lucid dream.

The easiest way to attempt this technique is if you take an afternoon nap or you have only slept for 3-7 hours.Try to meditate into a calm but focused state. You can try counting breaths, imaging ascending/descending stairs, dropping through the solar system, being in a quiet soundproof area, etc.Listening to Theta binaural beats for an amount time will easily put you into a REM sleep.

Binaural Beats answers:

1. Yes, lucid dreaming is safe. It’s no more dangerous than normal dreaming. They won’t cause death. They won’t cause you to fall into a comma. And you won’t be caught in a situation of never being able to wake up. (These are popular misconceptions)

2. It can be scary if you have a nightmare since it feels so real. But remember thatt you have the ability to change it if you want to. Remember its just a dream. It’s all pretend and nothing in your dream can actually hurt you. Control the dream, you basically command what you want to happen. For example, if you want your friend (let’s call her Anna) to appear in your dream. Say, “I wish Anna was here!”

4. Lucid dreams are amazing!! They feel so real and you can do whatever you want!!!

5. How to do it.
Step 1. Keep a dream journal. Every day record your dreams in as much detail as possible.
Step 2. Throughout the day ask yourself, “am I dreaming?” Don’t right away answer “of course not!!” Do a reality check. A good one is trying to push your fingers through your hand. If you can do this, you know you are dreaming.
Step 3. Meditate before bed. Listen to binaural beats while doing this. You can find lots of binaural beats on YouTube.
Step 4. Set an alarm to wake you up a few hours earlier than usual. Get up for a few minutes, then go back to bed. (This will dramatically increase chances of a lucid dream.

You can Google lucid dreaming. You will find lots of info and tips and tricks to help induce one.

Good luck my friend!!!:)

Binaural Beats answers:

Sleep paralysis is a natural occurance that happens to people once in a while…

-the scary voices and weird things you are talking about are called Hypnagogic hallucinations and are also a natural occurance

-I tried lucid dreaming a few times and failed most of the time. To tell you the truth, it is REALLY hard to Lucid dream and it takes a lot of work. Its like staying awake and falling asleep at the same time which is a contradiction and is almost impossible to perform.

-You can lucid dream while you are dreaming though. (Sometimes people become aware that they are in a dream and instead of waking up, they stay asleep knowing they are dreaming). That is how I remember lucid dreaming.

-If you want to try to lucid dream by letting your body fall asleep and mind staying awake, then try listening to binaural beat subliminal sounds. They have been known to induce lucid dreaming…

Good luck and lucid dreaming will only be as scary as you let it be, i mean it is in your mind… : )

Binaural Beats answers:

If you’re having trouble falling asleep you could try listning to some Binaural Beats (you can just look for them in youtube and use a youtube converter to get it on itunes). They alter your brainwaves and can help you relax. Erm… Lucid dreaming and sleep paralysis, don’t be scared! I found out about both of these like 3 weeks ago and and i’ve only had a few lucid dreams, and they’re awesome, not scary! I’ve also had sleep paralysis twice because i kept waking up in the night every half an hour or so, and yes it can be scary for some people, but when i had it i knew what it was. If you do get it just tell yourself that it’s all hallucinations that your brain is causing, and KEEP CALM, then try wiggling your fingers and toes – works like a charm, it wakes me up from it in a few seconds. Just don’t be afraid, don’t let any of it scare you, then maybe you can fall asleep.
Sorry this is so long lol.
