Lucid Dreams – What Advantage Do They Have For Us?

Lucid dreams are a certain type of dream that we experience while we sleep, but we are already aware while dreaming that nothing is real. These appear more frequently between the ages of 10 and 19 and usually become rarer as we get older. In fact, as adults, we only have lucid dreams a few times, if at all.

“Dreaming is important, even if the dream goes far beyond reality.”

Ayrton Senna

When we are aware of our dreams

Have you dreamed before but knew during your dream that none of it is real? Knowing that you are in your own dream turns the dream into a “lucid dream” or a “lucid dream”.

There are two different types of lucid dreams. With the first, we know very well that we are dreaming, but still cannot understand what is happening. In the second, we are absolutely aware that we are dreaming, and we are even able to control our dream.

Being aware of our own dreams can have many advantages for us that help us in our everyday life.

They solve everyday problems

We process many of our “everyday ailments” in our dreams and everyday situations also arise that we would like to forget during the night. But what very few of us know is that we solve our problems in the best possible way and deal with them when we dream of them.

Lucid dreams allow us to subconsciously think about the origin of our everyday problems, how we can deal with them and what solutions we want for them. Thus , they become an indispensable tool for us to make appropriate decisions regarding a problem solution so that this no longer hampers us in everyday life. But how does it work?

The result of lucid dreams is that our brain activity increases and thus our imagination is strengthened. This makes our minds more active and can find solutions to various problems that we previously classified as unsolvable and hopeless. It could be said that this type of dream increases our optimism. Through lucid dreams we can see the light in the dark.

They increase our self-confidence

As mentioned earlier, lucid dreams help us solve our problems and feel more secure about life. This is accompanied by various positive effects, such as:

• An increased ability to concentrate.
• Better memory.
• The increase in creativity.
• Help with coping with stress and anxiety.

All of these positive side effects help us to achieve everything we set out to do and to feel more comfortable in our own skin because we can literally realize our dreams and resolve conflicts. Thanks to these dreams, which reduce stress and anxiety – which every now and then hinder each of us in our endeavors – we can increase our stamina and our ability to self-actualize.

If you should have lucid dreams on a regular basis, you are certainly one of those people who always start their day full of energy and are satisfied with their life. Unfortunately this is something we cannot control.

They enable us to sleep better and overcome our fears

Even if it may not seem so, lucid dreams can help us get better sleep because they help us relax and switch off better. This is because we find solutions to our problems while we sleep. So if we think about it subconsciously and ultimately experience in a dream how we can solve it, we can sleep better. Better sleep naturally also affects our waking up, which is also improved – that is, we get more of our sleep.

But what happens to our fears? There are many situations that scare us, whether it’s phobias, trauma, or other things that we have no control over. Lucid dreams can help us to tackle our fears and free us from them.

Perhaps we have already dreamed of a person who is chasing us and trying to attack us. This can be a recurring dream and an expression of your own insecurity. What does this dream want to tell us?

Lucid dreams are an example of self-help.

We can try to imagine this dream again, turn around and look our attacker in the eye, and thereby defeat our fear. A personal fear that we overcome in our dream can help us to break away from our insecurity.

These are just a few of the advantages lucid dreams have in store for us. If you too are so aware of your dreams, then I congratulate you! You can live happier and more contented lives.
