Hi, P-assengers! Back again with our article. In today’s article, we will talk about the “Lucid Dream”. Have you ever tried or experienced it? If not, this article will be suitable for you. Because we will talk about how we can have a lucid dream. Are you curious, P-assengers? Let’s start talking about it!
First, let’s talk about what is a lucid dream. A lucid dream can happen when you know that you’re dreaming while you’re falling asleep. During that time, you will feel the dream is real and vivid. Not only that, you can also become the director of your dream. But, why it can happen?
Lucid dreams can occur when we are in the REM (Rapid Eye Movement) phase. In this phase, our brain will be active. Our heart rate and eye movements will also increase. A lucid dream can happen by itself. Even so, some people train themselves to experience lucid dreams.
How to Have Lucid Dream:
Reality testing
Reality testing is done to find out whether we are sleeping or not. For example, by pressing your finger against a wall.
Make a dream diary
This can be done by writing down your dreams in a journal. It will keep your brain awake while dreaming and make the brain dream of what you want to dream.
REM Sleep
As we said earlier, lucid dreams can be achieved when experiencing REM sleep. Therefore, the more REM sleep you experience, the greater your chances of having lucid dreams.
Wake-back-to-bed
You can wake up after 5 hours of sleep, then wake up briefly, and then go back to sleep to enter a period of REM sleep.
We’re sure some of you will be curious about “Are lucid dreams dangerous or not?” The answer is no if the person doing it is in good mental health. There are also several benefits of lucid dreaming, such as reduced anxiety, better motor skills, improved problem solving, and more creativity. But, it still has bad effects, like less sleep quality, confusion, delirium, and hallucinations.
So, that’s all for today’s article. What do you think about this information, P-assengers? We hope this information can help you to get know more information about lucid dreams. Thank you for reading this article. Let’s meet in another article, P-assengers!
