Lucid dreaming, being able to be aware of and control your
dreams, is a skill that can unlock one’s mind and unleash their brain’s full
potential. The best part is, everyone can learn how to lucid dream. But as with
all skills, preparation is key to success, and one big factor to be able to
succeed in lucid dreaming is preparation. Your bedroom needs to be prepared
adequately to be able to improve your chances at, and your quality of lucid
dreaming. The more factors you can control, the better your lucid dreaming will
be.
Controlling lights
Lights can be a critical factor in lucid dreaming. Some people
can sleep through lights (TV lights, nightlights, hallway lights) but any
fluctuation in these sources of illumination can easily interrupt your sleep
and your lucid dreaming. Outside lights from windows can also affect your
sleep, as well as sudden flashes of light from your mobile device when someone
tries to contact you or when a social media notification pops up.
The best way to control lights in your room is to simply
turn them off. Even small lights, such as the ones from your PC speakers or
your power strip, may seem like it won’t disturb you, but in the darkness of
night those lights can easily be like the sun. So turn those off as well, or
cover them properly.
If it is critical for your mobile device to always be on,
put the brightness at the lowest setting, and place them face down on your
table or under a pillow. And if you cannot sleep without a nightlight or a TV
on, it is best to have a nightlight with a diffuser, and in the TV’s case, put
it on a channel that is calm and soothing.
Controlling sounds
Light can easily be controlled and blocked. Sound, on the
other hand, is much more difficult. Anyone can knock on your door loudly and
just put a damper on your sleep, or a police siren or wailing cats from the
outside can jar you from your dreaming. And if you forget to put your mobile on
silent and someone calls, it’ll be trouble.
One good item to have to reduce sound from the outside is
curtains. Good curtains placed over your windows not only helps reduce lights
coming in, it also absorbs the sound waves. The thicker the curtains, the more
sound reduction you get. Putting your phone on silent is a no-brainer, but one
thing that people usually forget is the humble “do not disturb” sign. Hang one
in front of your door if you live with other people, and voila!
And finally, if you really need to drown out the sound,
noise cancelling headphones are available and there are some that are shaped
well and can be used for sleeping.
Setting the mood
Lastly, mood settings can also play a part in lucid dreaming,
and these depend on what can get your relaxed and be at peace. You can have
scented candles or incense, which serve both as a way to make the room
fragrant, and as mood lighting. You can also have music played, whether through
speakers or headphones. Binaural beats are very potent in this regard, which can
quickly relax and open your mind for lucid dreaming. One example of a relaxing
binaural beats track is in the video below, and you can already use it when you
sleep tonight to feel its benefits.
Preparing your room this way also sets the stage for astral
projection and OBEs (out of body experiences) which we'll talk about very soon.
So stay tuned!
