At night, when I go to sleep, I sometimes have all kinds of strange dreams, but by morning I forget them all. However, in dreams, I can become omnipotent, flying to the heavens or diving into the earth. If only I could control my dreams! Scientifically, it has been proven that dreams can be controlled, as long as we learn certain methods.
Want to control your dreams? Here are 5 mysterious methods to try quickly!
1. Try to use your consciousness to control the dream.
When you realize you're dreaming during a dream, your conscious awareness has already been activated. Next, you should try to use your consciousness to control the dream. This is commonly known as lucid dreaming. In this state, some people realize they are in a dream and can then control and alter it.
2. Try to remember your dreams.
Although you might remember your dreams clearly when you wake up in the morning, after some time, you might forget them completely. What you can do is prepare a notebook and immediately write down the content of the dream you just had upon waking up. Try to recall and record as many details as possible. Once you achieve this, the dream will become a part of your memory.
3. Raise questions in your dream.
There is scientific evidence that raising questions in a dream can quickly bring your brain into a conscious state, allowing you to start thinking and realize that you’re dreaming. If you can’t naturally raise a question in your dream, then create one based on the characters or events in the dream. However, doing this in a dream is quite difficult—it requires time and the right opportunity.
4. Repeat key phrases.
Before going to sleep every night, repeat this phrase: "When I sleep, my consciousness is awake." By repeating this, you will train your subconscious mind to form. As a result, during your dream, you can clearly perceive that you are in a different environment and realize you are dreaming. Then, you can try to take control of the dream.
5. Enter the dream.
Next, in a completely relaxed and calm state, gradually drift into sleep and enter the dream. Slowly, your brain will smoothly transition from a conscious state to a sleeping state. Then, see if you can control the dream as described earlier.
If these methods don’t work, then consider external factors, such as turning off the bedroom lights, wearing an eye mask, or playing hypnotic music around you to completely relax yourself. Then, start directing your own dream—the roles you play, the experiences you have, and the people you meet. In the bizarre and fantastical world of dreams, it’s time to show off your skills.
