Death is coming

The closer death creeps up upon me the less I am able to understand the reasons for life or living.

Yes I have experienced a close family member dying and unlike television it takes decades to handle such a thing. To think I am going to put my family through such a thing when I finally leave is more horrific to me than the thought of death itself.

My life was and is still a learning experience but when all said and done what am I to do with all this accumulated learning over my lifetime if I just die. There is no logic or reason to this.

Long ago I became aware that the God story that is sold to the majority is just a nice story to give mankind with a message of a basic layout of how nice life could be if everyone followed these ideas. Not many in life do and if one thinks about it the good and evil structures actually depend on each other. The good that can be experienced in life is only understood as good when there is it's opposite to compare it to. This is not rocket science only common sense in reality. I am not saying we need to experience bad but understanding in it is needed to appreciate the great things many of us can have in our lives. From birth to death there are many ways mankind helps his fellow man. How many ways can you help?

What Are Lucid Dreams And What Purpose Do They Serve?

By Simon Hearn


Dreaming and being aware that you are dreaming is referred to as lucid dreaming. While in the middle of a dream lucidity begins and that the dreamers completely understand that the occurrence is not taking place in physical realism and is just a dream. This realization hits the dreamer when he notices a lot of not possible or unlikely incidences in his dream like talking and meeting with a deceased person. There are occasions when people just realize that they are in a dream.

Lucidity quality varies a great extent. When you are at a level of high lucidity level you are aware in your mind that all experiences are taking place in the dream and that there is no real danger. Your awareness is also of the fact that you are fast asleep and will soon wake up.

However when it comes to low level of lucidity, you may be aware to a large extent that you are in a state of dream. Lucid dreaming refers to being conscious when in a dream. It is in lucid dreaming that you abruptly realize that you are dreaming in your dreams. It is at this stage that you get familiar with lucid dream, regardless of the fact whether you have achieved management of your dream or not.

You get some sort of indication in lucid dreaming which pushes this, an indication to the person that what is being experienced is a dream and not happening in reality. Yet it's not essential to get those signals to become lucid. It's very rare that people become lucid without any notice of something strange or distinctive of dreams. People who are unaware of the distinction between having a lucid dream and taking control of a dream are also present. When you take control of your dreams it is simply moving to the next level. This level is achieved by making and= effort to apply your will on your environment.

Rarely does it happen that people become lucid with no any notice of something odd or characteristic of dreams. There are some people who are not aware of the difference between having a lucid dream and taking control of a dream. You move on to the next level when you take control of your dreams and this level can be achieved by making an effort to apply your will on your surroundings.

Despite this, it may be possible that it may be not possible to put forward much control in the initial stage.

You should work towards changing your behaviors instead of changing your dreams. To take control of your dreams is the best at the time of nightmares. Instead of working on changing your dreams, change your own attitude. You are able to allay your fears just by the understanding that it is only a dream and that there is no physical damage. With this change in your attitude your nightmare will change into something more peaceful.

Making changes in your own attitude will usually change a nightmare into something more peaceful. This is just one of the many reasons why you should teach yourself to have lucid dreams.
