Is Lucid Dreaming True?

By Paul West


Conscious dreaming is real. Typically, the thought of having self-consciousness in dreams has already been reported all over various societies in the past. Rene Descartes, a French philosopher discovered that his lucid dreams were so vibrant and concluded that someone's waking senses tend to be unreliable and cannot be authentic.

Meanwhile, heightened self awareness and control over dream has been utilized by Tibetan monks in their particular route to clarify for at at least a thousand years. The aware dreaming idea is largely well-accepted in both Western and Eastern traditions, thus keeping the global aspect of the condition which is not influenced by any sort of mystical interpretation or religious principles.

The lucid state has been reported in several forms both technically as well as scientifically. The initial moment was once Keith Hearne, the British parapsychologist, registered a number of pre-specified indicators of eye movement right from Alan Worsley, his assistant, in a lucid dream condition under lab scenarios. Essentially in his lucid dream, Worsley looked in various ways, for instance, right, right, right, left, left, doing his own eyeballs to mimic the action in real-world. By doing this, he was able to connect in real time from the world of dreams as well as the conscious world.

In 1983, Dr Stephen LaBerge from Leland Stanford Junior University became well-known when he released his version of Hearne's study and today, he's the main researcher in lucid dreams.

A short time ago, an investigation conducted in Frankfurt, GE in 2009 at the Neurological Research laboratory demonstrated a considerable increase in the activity of the human brain during conscious dreams and 40 Hertz frequencies range were recorded employing an Electroencephalography equipment in lucid dreamers in aware REM. This is certainly more greater compared to the typical dream state (4-8 Hz, or Theta range) and perhaps far more aware than usual (12-38 Hertz, or Beta range). Heightened activity was also observed in the frontolateral as well as frontal parts of the brain and these areas are the language thought region as well as other higher intellectual functions connected with self consciousness.

Through the previously mentioned findings, it is concluded that lucid dreaming provides the potential to evoke waking instructions and freely act any time one is conscious in the dream condition. Conscious dreaming at the same time generates a brain signal that is really vibrant and not associated with normal waking awareness or normal dreaming.
