Improving Confidence

If you are self confident then lucid dreaming can be your answer to gaining more confidence. Whether it is meeting new people, public speaking, trying new things or just a lack of confidence in oneself.

Psychological and Physical Healing

It has been scientifically proven that whatever you think about has an effect on your body. When you are having a lucid dream you can physically or psychologically heal your body and mind. It allows you to become in direct contact of your subconscious and inner thoughts allowing you to shift your bodies entire focus to healing a certain part of it.

Raising Your Level of Consciousness

Lucid dreaming has so many benefits that improve and help you through life that having them raises your level of consciousness. Once you realize what consciousness is and it starts to become important to you, you will want to start practicing and having a lot more lucid dreams. Lucid dreaming helps you to become more aware in waking life and it gives you more control over your subconscious. If you use lucid dreams as a tool for life to grow and evolve, then your consciousness will automatically rise to higher levels.

Improving and Practicing Skills

When you are lucid dreaming it is a great time for you to practice and improve any skill that you want to work on. Maybe you want to improve on the guitar or become a better basketball player. No matter what it is it can be practiced in a lucid dream.

There are some martial arts trainings that use lucid dreams to improve their skills. There has also been surgeons that use lucid dreams to become better at surgery. The benefits of practicing and perfecting techniques and skills in a lucid dream are tremendous.

Removing Limitations

When you start to lucid dream you will realize that even though you know you are dreaming, you're conscious mind won't allow you to do certain things because it thinks that they are impossible. Lucid dreaming will help you remove those limitations that have been holding you back your entire life. Ever since we were all babies we have been indoctrinated with lies telling us that we can't do certain things. This is what holds a lot of people back from accomplishing all of their dreams and realizing that they can achieve anything they want to if they put their mind to it. If we all accomplished what we were actually capable of then we would amaze and surprise ourselves.

Ask yourself right now if you think that you can become a world known photographer, race car driver, doctor, musician, singer, actress/actor, or athlete. If you think that you can go back to school, quit the job you hate, make more money than you have ever imagined or just live a happy life. If you think that you can't accomplish any of these then you have limitations, false beliefs and fear holding you back.

Dreamscaping

Dreamsaping or collective dreaming is when two or more people share the exact same dream together. It's not the same thing as two people having the same type of dream but two people actually in the exact same dream experiencing it together.

Now of course there is a lot of skepticism about this because of its nature but that is only because the scientific view of dreams and how they look at them as nothing more than an epiphenomenon of the mental activity that occurs during REM sleep. But even science states that they know very little about why we dream or what the purpose of them is.

All of our dreams are part of the same collective conscious and with enough practice and work you can tap into it and do the unthinkable.

Progress the Law of Attraction

The most effective tool in the law of attraction is visualizations. Being able to imagine that you already have in your life what you want to attract. When you are lucid dreaming you can experience for yourself exactly what you want in waking life. By actually experiencing it instead of just imagining it, you are putting much more energy into the law of attraction and therefore the return of it will be much quicker and powerful.

Astral Projection

In order for you to astral project you must allow your conscious mind to completely separate from your physical body. The only way that this can happen is when your body falls asleep but your mind is still awake. Astral projection or OBE is much easier to preform when you are having a lucid dream because that is exactly what is happening, your body is sleeping but your mind is conscious. If you are trying to astral project then lucid dreaming may be the easiest way to do so.
