Nikki Harper – Within the realm of dreaming lies a fascinating phenomenon known as lucid dreaming—an extraordinary state where we become aware that we are dreaming while still immersed in the dream itself. Lucid dreaming opens a gateway to explore the depths of our consciousness, blurring the boundaries between the dream world and waking reality.
But what exactly is lucid dreaming and how can we use it as a powerful tool for expanded consciousness, personal growth, and spiritual exploration?
Frank M Wanderer – Allow me to draw your attention to an apparently surprising thing. If I told you that now, when you are reading these lines, you are in fact asleep, you would certainly believe that I have gone mad.

The truth about lucid dreaming is that anyone can do it; it’s all just a trick of the mind. If you simply buy into the concept of being able to actively control your dreams, you’re already 90% there. The rest can be achieved through tools and tricks that don’t even involve meditating for three hours before bed. Try some of these tonight to have the lucid dream you’ve always dreamed of (pardon the pun).
No, this isn’t some deep, relaxing, breathing technique. It’s called a reality check and it’s probably the easiest and most popular one around — according to the Reddit-sphere, at least. All you need to do is periodically plug your nose with your fingers as you go about your day and breathe in.
