A pencil,dream and Inception.


I have something to share. Many of you may find it is interesting. And also it is something everyone should try. I have spent hours on eBooks for this and personally researched. I’m sharing this because you should experience the ultimate part of dreams. Sit back, read slowly. Here we go...

Few years ago my roommate downloaded Inception. What really made me to watch this movie was I’m big fan of Christopher Nolan.  Every movie he directed was brilliant. Okay. That night I watched the movie. I watched the movie the next night. Well, I watched the same movie five nights in row to understand it clearly. As usual, I praised the director/writer Nolan for writing such an original and brilliant script. I like the way he ended the movie. I loved the movie in depth and forgot it as days passed. Roughly a year ago, I happened to read Wikipedia page of Inception movie. There a word really impressed me –‘Lucid dream’.  After spending weeks studying lucid dreaming, I came up realizing mind-twisting, amazing world that exist behind dreams!!
a Hollywood Sci-fi movie –

We dream almost every night. When we are dreaming, we don’t aware that we are dreaming.  Dreams just go off your control. We know it was a dream when only we wake up from sleep. Wait, what if we are dreaming and we realize it is a dream!? Putting in simple words, a lucid dream is any dream in which one is aware that one is dreaming. In lucid dreams you get control over the dream environment. Just like a gamer has control over scenes of video game he playing.

After reading online that anybody can lucid dream, I decided to experience it. I had lot of time to work on it. Let me explain things I did to achieve lucid dream and my first lucid experience.

Before I start I should clarify that Inception movie has nothing to do with this case. As you have seen in the movie, you can’t just sleep off by a nasty chemical, and then have a quick dream. Inception is 100% fiction and lucid dreaming is 100% accurate. You have to train your brain in order to rule your world.  The training is to make understand your brain that you are really interested in waking up in the dream.

Firstly, I want to share my first experience of lucid dream. Then only I will explain you techniques.

I was in a store room stuffed with broken furniture. The room was not so dirty. I look around for any exit. Yeah there was a door behind me in distance. Suddenly, by practice, I read my palm- ‘I’m awake’.  What the heck is this??? At this point an unexplainable thing happened. When I read the sentence, I realized I’m in my dream. The environment around was not so usual. Everything around me was slightly vibrating. The color of furniture was changing whenever I looked at it. I felt so imbalanced. Then I felt, yes I’m dreaming and I’m awake in the dream!!!.
