Before I woke up yesterday morning, I remember hearing a voice that said, “dreams are like a friend that gives the advice you aren’t ready to hear.” Though it was a little weird at first (even for me), I’m already finding that this message is unraveling some sort of deeper meaning for me. There is an abundance of information out there about dream interpretation and how-to-guides about lucid dreaming, yet I’ve found that dream experiences are much more personalized and complex than what the internet or a book can tell me. Plus, I am clairvoyant and even if you believe it or not, so are you! *wink emoji*
Our dreams on the astral are one of the key ingredients to helping us understand who we are and what we desire to pursue. Lucid dreaming gives us the opportunity to participate in that exploration and can even put us in the driver’s seat when we least expect it. It probably wouldn’t take much effort to remember a time when you experienced a lucid dream that made an impact on you. Most lucid dreams are exciting and pleasurable, like flying in the sky with a sense of exhilarating freedom. Some are not so great, like trying to stop a bully with arms made of jelly. It would be nice to lucid dream on a regular basis, yet for some reason, this isn’t the case for most people.
Just like learning a new art form, lucid dreaming takes practice and patience. It is the art of waking up to your inner life and you can choose to hone in on that skill on your spiritual path. When you look at lucid dreaming from a psychic perspective, it is all about liberating yourself from the boundaries of the mind, and experiencing whatever reality you are in (dreaming or awake) as you imagine it to be. Sounds nice, right?! What jump-starts this process is clearing the illusion that your physical and astral existence is totally separate from each other. This is just one of the many ways to continue uncovering all that are and all that you capable of.
There are many layers and levels to explore in lucid dreaming, but one of the first things you can do is set yourself up to sleep well and get comfortable where dreaming takes you. Here are a few basic tips that I found to be helpful at the beginning of my own lucid dream path:
- Keep a dream journal (and actually use it). It doesn’t have to be a novel. It’s a place where you can refer back to that can evoke a memory about your dreams and astral experiences.
- Create a sacred space for your body to sleep in. Set your room up to be a place you want to be (human-sized pillows, high thread count sheets, and/or whatever makes it cozy for your body). This is possible, even if you have a partner or pet.
- Let go of your day. Use your psychic tools before you go to sleep. I want to emphasize that everything goes back to the basics – clear out the things that are not you, so that you can replenish yourself and create the things you do want. This applies to lucid dreaming too!
- Set a small goal before you close your eyes. Tell yourself what you’d like to experience in your dreams – like waking up in the dream – and see what happens. You’ll be surprised at how much “setting an intention” works the more you do it.
Remember that just like meditating or being a clairvoyant, lucid dreaming is also an exciting, life-long practice. You’re not going to be an expert right away! There are advanced astral clairvoyant and healing techniques that assist you in having your lucid dreams working for you, but if you aren’t quite there yet, setting a solid foundation with some of the tips above is a wonderful start.
Have fun and see what comes up!
