Dreams, and therefore lucid dreams, occur in our big brain's transition zones to and from Theta brainwave patterns to Delta brainwave patterns. This occurs many times in through the night. The easiest entry into a LD is when you first fall asleep. In effect, you will be in a form a self-hypnosis when going from relaxed (alpha brainwaves) to 'daydreamy' (Theta brainwaves) . It is while you are in theta, and still in possession of willful thought, that you can willfully suggest to yourself will be aware in a dream. I write about it at length here . One of the reasons a LD is so short is the precarious balance we are in between two states of awareness. I would suggest not flying in an LD (yes, I know it is hard not to!) as the act of flying causes an adrenaline rush that will wake you up sooner. |
