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 Do You Mean By Lucid Dreams?

By Simon Hearn


Lucid dream is a state when you are dreaming and are also aware of the fact that you are dreaming. In a lucid state the dreamers understand that they are dreaming and this state begins while you are in the middle of a dream. When an incidence which is unlikely takes place in the dream, this realization hits the dreamer; this unlikely incident could be flying or talking and meeting with a deceased person. On different and numerous occasions people realize that they are in a state of dreaming.

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.

You are also aware that you are sleeping and will wake up soon. However when low lucidity level you may be aware to a large extent that you are dreaming. Being conscious while dreaming can be thought of as lucid dreaming. When you are dreaming you suddenly realize that you are dreaming, then a lucid dream has been experienced by you, irrespective of the fact whether you have been able to achieve control of your dream.

There is some kind of indication in lucid dreaming which triggers this, a suggestion to the person that it is a reality and not a dream that the person is experiencing. But remember it's not necessary to get those signals to become lucid.

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.

However it may be possible that even then it may be impossible to put forth much control in the beginning. Its altogether experience, your confidence and control that pays an important part in you taking control of your dreams. But just incase you lack confidence in your dreams you may not succeed to control them.

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.

Instead of changing your dream you can work on changing your behavior. Controlling your dreams is the best during nightmares. Change your own attitude instead of trying to change your dreams. Your fears can get allayed just by the realization that it is only a dream and that you are not able to maintain physical damage. Your nightmare will change into something more peaceful with changes to your attitude in such a manner. Lucid dreams hence are good to defeat nightmares.
