Thoughts are hindrance
Unnecessary thoughts while sleeping are the hindrance that does not allow the awareness to become intense. If a person goes to sleep while thinking, then his consciousness will remain very weak during sleep, and with such weak consciousness, one cannot see lucid dreams.
Why is being quiet while sleeping important for lucid dreaming?
- It is said that our dreams revolve around the last thoughts we have while sleeping.
- If our thoughts are positive then our dreams will also remain positive.
- And if our last thoughts are negative then our dreams will also be of the same type.
For a lucid dreamer, it is very important to calm his mind completely before sleeping. When there are no thoughts in the mind, one can become aware of the darkness behind closed eyes. Actually, dreams start forming sometime after lying on the bed.
Hypnagogia Turn Into Dreams
Dreams don't happen instantly. There is a process for its formation. We start seeing some scenes and shapes behind closed eyes but not everyone can feel it.
Only those people can feel it who calm their minds and are free from thoughts. During this situation, we have to maintain a passive awareness.
As soon as the thoughts are silenced, we start feeling very sleepy and we immediately go to sleep.
If you want to go straight into lucid dreaming, you will have to maintain passive awareness during the hypnagogic stage.
By passive awareness, I mean moderate awareness or slight consciousness. There is a process of falling asleep. It does not come immediately.
You have to see how the sleep is coming. How shapes are formed behind our closed eyes. You have to focus your attention on those shapes.
These figures gradually turn into dreams but usually, we are not able to pay attention to them for long and we fall asleep.
In this way, we lose a golden opportunity to go into lucid dreams. If one practice and sticks to his practice, then within a few days he will be able to go directly into lucid dreams through this method.
Why is this method so powerful?
This method is very effective and efficient but it is a bit difficult to practice. Because when one is sleepy it is very difficult to remain conscious. You have to keep your mind focused on those images and shapes.
- You should not actively pay attention to those shapes. If you do this you will not be able to sleep.
- You have to remember that you have to passively keep your awareness focused on those shapes.
- These images and shapes moving behind your closed eyes are called hypnagogic imagery in the language of science.
