We all have heard the expression “Is this a dream?” and “Are we asleep
really dreaming this reality?” In many cultures, religions and philosophies
have the concept that we are dreaming and that everyday life is a dream. In
the next two chapters, I’ll provide possible answers to the question “Is this
a dream?” by describing lucid dreaming.
Lucid dreaming is the state of being aware of the dream at the time of
the dream. Most people believe lucid dreaming is controlled dreaming. However,
the term lucid means awareness, not control. Lucid dreaming is the
state of knowing that we are dreaming during the dream. If you were dreaming
that you were reading this book, and all of a sudden you realized that you
were actually lying in your bed dreaming, this realization is the moment
when the dream becomes lucid, the moment when you become aware of
the state of consciousness you are in. This awareness is not control because
there can be dream control without lucidity, and there can be lucidity
without control. The goal of the person who practices lucid dreaming is to
become lucid and have control at the same time. A person can have what is
known as a semi-lucid dream, then a full lucid dream, to the point of having
what is called a high lucid dream.
The semi-lucid dream is the state of being in the dream and knowing
that you are dreaming, but having no control. This state is very similar to
being a puppet in a play. The environment is controlling what is happening.
The lucid dream is the state where, in the dream, you know that you are
dreaming and you have some sort of control, from the ability to be in control
of your body, to being able to direct the whereabouts in the dream environment
(such as deciding to walk across the street in the dream), to having
enough control over the dream environment itself and having the choice to
manipulate or move within the dream environment (a high lucid dream).
A high lucid dream is where you have the control mentioned above, and can
carry out some sort of spectacular intention, such as a healing for another
or meeting a teacher; some type of event that would have a higher purpose
or be considered to be amazing in the waking state.
