LUCID DREAMING WITHOUT LIMITS

In the real world, there are limits: you can't touch the sun, you can't make meter-high jumps or look through the eyes of a fly, ... Those 'obstacles' simply don't exist in your dreams. So there you have the chance to have experiences that are impossible in reality. Especially when you find yourself in a lucid dream and realize that you are dreaming.​

Lucid dreaming is a fascinating phenomenon and therefore the subject of many investigations and films. In The Matrix or in Nolan's Inception, for example, the phenomenon comes to life completely, in an extreme form. But lucid dreaming is something that anyone can actually learn.  ​ ​ ​ ​ 

It's a way to make those parts of your brain that you don't use during the day work while you sleep. Scientific research even proves that your brain is more active during a lucid dream. You find yourself in a different state of consciousness, as it were, one between sleeping and being awake.​ ​ ​

YOU CAN LEARN LUCID DREAMING

Literally, lucid means 'bright', yet lucid dreaming is more than just remembering your dreams. In order to lucidly dream, you must realize during your dream that you are dreaming. How do you do that? The trick is to become more alert, pay attention to the details, absorb everything.
