Our brain creates a new reality whenever we're lucid dreaming and it's completely separate from the reality we live in. But since they feel so real, it's hard to realize if it's reality or a dream. Although it sounds like a supernatural ability, lucid dreaming is totally natural and safe. Your physical presence is in your bed, while in your head, you might be in a WWIII, defending your country. Here are a few interesting facts about lucid dreaming that you probably didn't know.
Both regular and lucid dreams are just manifestations of our unconscious brain, which contains memories and information we already have in our conscious. In other words, your brain is unable to add new characters and places into your dreams. Lucid dreaming starts as normal dreaming, but the moment you become aware that your dream is not real is the moment when lucid dreaming becomes fun.
During regular sleep, all of our body's muscles are paralyzed as a means of self-protection, except the muscles that control the eyes. Scientists have discovered that our physical eyes often mimic the motion of our dream eyes.
Flying and having sex are two of the most common lucid dreams, as well as dreamers' favorite. The advantage of lucid dreaming about having sex is that you can actually have an orgasm while sleeping. It happens both in the dream and in reality. In addition to orgasm, lucid dreaming sex can bring other physical responses in reality too, such as increased heart rate and vascular tissue changes.
Since most lucid dreamers are able to take control over their lucid dreams, they can end one whenever they want to by closing their eyes. If your lucid dream is becoming too surreal and it's starting to give you negative emotions, just close your eyes and it will end.
According to many studies, people who play video games are more likely to have lucid dreams, featuring their favorite characters in their favorite realms. Gamers visit imaginary realms in their games all the time, so lucid dreaming is only one way of doing so.
No matter what you see, hear or read in a lucid dream, remember that it cannot influence your reality. One should not get attached to the idea of harvesting the benefits and capabilities they experience in lucid dreaming and believe that can do something like great singing without even practicing it in real life. Also, events happening in lucid dreams are no way of making up for mistakes made in the past.
