Boomeryearbook's Psychological Articles: Lucid Dreaming

Dream Like Never Before

(Psychological Articles By Boomeryearbook.com)

Have you ever been dreaming and in your dream you become aware that you were actually in a dream?! Well, that means that you were having a lucid dream. Lucid dreaming, also known as dream consciousness, simply means that during a dream you are conscious and aware of the fact that you are dreaming. We have seen some examples in movies such as Vanilla Sky and Waking Life, and in dozens of psychological articles that research these phenomena. It can happen to anyone at anytime, and there is now an even larger body of scholarly and self-help psychological articles instructing us on ways to learn how to induce lucid dreams. Many may not know much about this topic, many may not be familiar with the body of psychological articles, but we at Boomer Yearbook believe it’s always great to learn more about how and why we dream.

Snake Dreams

By Courtenay Turner for Boomeryearbook.com

As a dream analyst I often encounter people who ask me to provide
answers to what specific things in their dreams mean. They want me to
respond much like a human dictionary. For instance they will say
“what does it mean when I see a snake in my dream?”

Nightmares

By Boomeryearbook.com

At one time or another everyone has had a nightmare. While more common in children, adults also experience these petrifying dreams. When they do occur, they are a terrifying experience. You know the feeling—you wake up in the middle of the night with your heart pounding and your mind racing. You are scared, but you may not know of what. Dreams tend to fade so fast from your memory and conscious mind that you may not even be aware of what just scared you half to death.

Chakras are energy centers along the midline of the body. According to ancient Vedic philosophy, proper functioning of our body and mind depends on these chakras.

Our body is said to have seven primary chakras, each denoted with a different color and responsible for sets of mind and body functions.

Firstly, an Aura is something that psychics, or others with a clairvoyant vision often see. However, you don't have to be a psychic to see it or sense it. You may see a light around a person's head or you may sense somebody's mood, and just get a feel about someone, like a gut instinct.

It was my freshman year of college. One night after my roommate and I had both been asleep for quite sometime we both must have began to dream around the same time. In my dream, I was with my brother about to exercise or something.

Dreams are a strange thing in and of themselves, but when they mesh with reality, they become even more of an anomaly. Sometimes two people dreaming two different dreams can share the experience in reality. I never would have thought this would be possible if I had not experienced it for myself. Let me tell you about my strange encounter.

Have you ever had a dream, and then all or part of it happens the next day? Sounds sort of spooky doesn't it. However, according to the research, while rare, this does in fact happen.

As a personal example, my friend Tracy still lives in the town in which she grew up. However as people move they can easily lose touch with one another, and yet these 'lost' friends can appear in dreams. There have been a few times, just in the last year in fact, where Tracy has had vivid dreams of 'lost' friends that appeared so life like to her, that Tracy shared the details of these dreams with me.

The naked dream is one of the most common dreams reported. Generally, the dreamer is not aware that he or she is naked at first, but then suddenly becomes aware and is mortified. In other cases though, the dreamer is aware of his or her nakedness, but others are not. In still other cases, no one is aware of the dreamer’s nakedness—not even the dreamer. It seems completely natural.

Dreams are commonly reported in the Bible. They were believed to have been of a divine nature, meant as a sort of prophecy. Each element in the dream was a symbolism for something that was to occur in the future. Dreams were meant to be interpreted only by God or by someone that had a direct connection with God. A sort of prophet, you might say.

A lucid dreamer is one who is aware that he or she is dreaming. If you are aware when you are dreaming then you are able to control the events of your dream. For instance, if you are having-- perhaps the most common dream of all-- a chase dream, you can choose not to run or to turn around and see who it is that is chasing you. According to some researchers, only a small percentage of people report having lucid dreams. However, according to others, we can learn to become lucid dreamers if we want to.

We’ve probably all had one, at one point in our lives or another-- a chase dream. We dream we are either being chased or running from something. Many times, we do not even know what it is or who it is that we are running from. Still, we run, screaming and panting. Run, run, run. Until we wake up and still have no idea what it is we were running from. What was it that we were supposed to be so afraid of?
