Each participant slept overnight in the lab on several occasions. Seriously, Ursula Voss, a clinical psychologist at Frankfurt University in Germany, together with her team applied mild electrical stimuli to 27 healthy young adults who had never experienced lucid dreaming. They’re scientists though, so whenever possible they’ll take the shortest, most efficient route – just zap those brains!ĪDVERTISEMENT Zap the brain and wake up dreaming It’s pretty hard to strap MRIs on people and hope they’ll go lucid dreaming. This state of consciousness is so interesting that, naturally, neuroscientists had to peer through in an effort to understand what’s going on in the human mind during these precious moments, but attempts have been curbed by the sheer rarity of the event. People, those unfortunate enough not to have been born with the innate ability, have learned to develop all sorts of gimmicks to enter lucid dreaming. Anyway, lucid dreaming is a great tool for self realization and having a great fun all-round, but it can be difficult to reach. In real life humans don’t have wings to fly like a bird, but when you’re lucid dreaming your actually flying and feeling what’s it like – to be more precise, you’re feeling how your subconscious mind projects this sensation. Realizing your dreaming is just the first tidbit, it’s all about sculpting and morphing your dream environment to your liking. So, what exactly is lucid dreaming? Some people never experience it, but chances are you’ve come across it at least once in your life, especially after falling back asleep after your alarm clock goes off. The applications are numerous, most importantly related to psychological counseling (nightmare management). Now, a recent research found that zapping an electrical current at the right frequency and just in the right place of the brain can induce lucid dreaming about 70% of the time. What happens when you’re fully aware you’re dreaming and control what’s happening around you? This state is called lucid dreaming, something which only a few people can manage to do innately, and countless more are trying to train themselves to be able to do as well. It’s said that by studying your dreams, you in fact learn more about your true inner self since dreams are your subconscious’ projections, genuine and unaltered. Some people have very vivid dreams, others can’t remember a thing when they wake up about what they’ve dreamed the night before. One of the most common experience people choose to have when lucid dreaming is flying – can you blame them?
