Lucidity in dreaming
Last night Wayne was talking about lucid dreaming. You do this by through the day asking yourself, is this a dream? Why would you do that, i asked him, because people don't realise that they are dreaming when they dream.
How can you not do that, i asked. Surely you know that you are dreaming when you are dreaming. No, he said. Most people will think that it is real when they dream. Do you know that you are dreaming when you are dreaming. Of course, i replied. How can you not?
This is seems is not usual. Anyway, i think that lucid dreaming is not for me. I think it's much easier to go on shamanic dream journeys - waking dreams.
For a start you are awake, and therefore in control. Then you enter a space which you decide and determine, up to a point of course.
I love dreaming properly because i usually go on incredible journeys. Since doing the Steiner course especially, it seems to have freed me up to get in touch with my spirit, my soul. It has also allowed me to travel backwards in time to memories which i thought were gone. Anthroposophy has an interesting take on memories - that we learn by forgetting. If we never forgot, then we would never learn anything new. I like that. It makes me less anxious when i go, OMG how could i have forgotten the name of a person i sat next to for a whole year?
Why would anyone want to learn to lucid dream? For a start it seems you can predict the future. This includes lotto numbers. Then you can also heal yourself. When i think about it, if you get in touch with the etheric and astral by dreaming, i suppose you can fix it - if you have the right abilities. You do away with the physical. But you can also do that by journeying shamanically. The key is that you must believe....
Believe that it will happen. There must not be a shred of doubt in one;s mind about this. It is intuition and that part of our consciousness, the part our materialist culture has chosen to deny, consulted and writ large. Can i do it.... i do not know.
I love journeying, but i have never used it to heal physically. The few times i have used healing is on the children, and then i have asked the grandmothers to help me.
Anyway, must try and start work now....
