Unlocking Memories With Lucid Dreaming And Binaural Beats


Have you ever had an experience wherein you wanted to recall something in particular, a memory you know you had, but for some reason cannot? When you find yourself saying “it's at the tip of my tongue” or “I know it but I can't seem to remember right now”? That's the mind being unable to tap into a memory, whether because it's a really old one, a memory deemed unimportant, or in some cases, subconsciously repressed due to trauma. Good or bad, these memories are still there, and can be unlocked with the use of lucid dreaming or self-hypnosis and the assistance of binaural beats.


How does it work?

Lucid dreaming gives us the capability to control what we experience in our sleep, and allows us to tap into our subconscious. Self-hypnosis is very similar in terms of capability, but has a different approach. Either way, using whatever method allows our mind to control what we see in our dreams, and in doing so, can give us the chance to revisit lost or long forgotten memories.


Why should I do it?

This aspect of lucid dreaming is something that some people are wary of. To many, memories are forgotten or repressed for a reason, whether because it's associated with a bad experience or trauma, or can result in a cascade of memories that will be unpleasant. But for most people, this isn't the case, and there are many benefits to recalling lost or locked memories.

Have you ever wanted to relive a joyful memory with a loved one who passed on already? Do you want to re-experience the thrill of going on a vacation from long ago that is hard to do now? How about simply enhancing your work or studies by remembering skills and lessons from the past that can be useful with your current endeavors? These are all possible when lucid dreaming and using binaural beats.

Not only that, the process of memory recall with lucid dreaming and using binaural beats also enhances your conscious memory recall. Binaural beats that use the Beta Waves range which governs focus, memory, and recognition trains and conditions the brain to be able to consciously pull memories out of the mind's memory banks at will, which improves your work, your ability to engage in conversations, and most importantly, the ability to retain, and then reuse, skills and knowledge acquired during the day.

Whether it's for work, for reliving experiences, or simply just to improve your memory capabilities, using lucid dreaming and binaural beats for memory recall has a lot of benefits.


The Process

  1. Set up your room for lucid dreaming. We have discussed this process numerous times before, and the steps to do so can be followed here, and here. These steps are important to improve your chances to attain lucidity.
  2. Play a binaural beats track for memory enhancement or memory recall. Our collection here at Brainwave Power Music has a good number of them, an example of which can be found below. Make sure you will be listening to it properly to achieve the full effect.
  3. Set your lucid dream intention to unlock a specific memory. The steps of setting your lucid dream intention can be found here. Any memory you wish to unlock can be set as your lucid dream intention; for example, if during the day there is one particular memory you could not remember, use that as your focal point for your intent.
  4. Follow the steps to achieve lucid dreaming found here, making sure you follow the right reality checks and cues.
Once you enter lucidity, this is where the recall begins. There are many ways that can make this possible, limited only by your imagination!
  1. Talk to your younger self – One popular method which is also used for self-exploration is talking to one's self, more specifically, talking to your younger self. Find or summon your younger self and engage in a conversation with him/her. Remember, people in lucid dreams behave like real people, and don't expect your younger self to simply do what you want! Engage in a proper conversation, ask about the memory you cannot remember, and you may even get something more afterwards.
  2. Travel back in time – We discussed the ability to lucid dream time travel in a previous blog post, and you can use that process to your advantage for this one. Follow the time traveling methods we listed, and jump back in time to when the missing or locked memory happened. You can observe it from a far as a third person, or relive it if you wish!
  3. Create a memory machine – Another method is constructing a device or machine that will tap into your memories. Similar to the movie “Minority Report”, this method will allow you to tap into your memories all at once, and find the missing or locked one that you are looking for. This method, however, is quite risky, as it can unintentionally tap into memories you have suppressed or forgotten for a reason, and may have unpleasant results. To prevent this, be more specific when building the machine, placing guidelines that will prevent bad memories from surfacing.

Upon waking from the lucid dream, make sure you can write down or remember your memory ASAP! We have provided a discussion about using lucid dream journals to recall dreams, which you should use to be able to remember all your unlocked dreams. And make sure you have the right binaural beats track for memory, like this one here: 
This track helps you journey in to your inner self and find your balance and centering, and aims to specifically increase self-awareness and stimulate your memories. Perfect for memory recall.

Keeping A Lucid Dream Journal: Basic How-To And Benefits





Lucid dreaming is an amazing experience that anyone can have and enjoy if they know what lucid dreaming is about, how to prepare for a luciddream, what to expect from lucid dreaming, and what to do in a lucid dream. But what should you do once the lucid dream ends? What post-dreaming benefits will you gain from lucid dreaming? This is where a lucid dream journal comes into play.


Your Mind’s DVR

A lucid dream journal is simply your way of recording what you have seen, felt, experienced, and done in your lucid dream. Many people have amazing normal or lucid dreams and enjoy the experience while it is happening, but moments after they wake up, it is lost, and they struggle to recapture the amazing feelings all throughout the day. It can be quite a loss to feel that, so the best solution to be able to relive it is to record it ASAP!

Fortunately, it is quite easy and fun to record your lucid dreams; it can even be the first thing you do for your daily routine. And like any skill, the more you do it, the better you become at it, and the more you can enjoy the benefits of the lucid dream journal!


The Basics
We’ll have a more detailed guide on how to use a lucid dream journal to record your dreams in a future blog post, but for now, here’s what you need to know and what you should have:

  1. Have a notebook, notepad, or actual diary (with a pen of course!) ready to record your dreams by your bedside within reach. It is important you can easily grab your journal as soon as you wake up because your dreams will start fading at that moment, so be quick!
  2. As soon as you wake up, write everything you can remember. It is best to write them in the present tense so you keep the “moment” experience when you read them back.  Be sure to add as much details as you can. Don’t think about grammar or spelling. Don’t correct anything! Write things down!
  3. Draw what you saw. It doesn’t matter if it’s stick figures or if it looks like a 3 year old made it. Dreams are mainly visual after all, and this will help you recall your dream when you read back.
  4. Don’t skip a dream day. Write it down every time you dream, whether it’s a normal dream or a lucid one. This will train your mind to do it.
Oh, one more thing. It is important to have a dream anchor, something that will trigger your mind to remember your dream when you wake up. To do this, simply select an object in your room before you sleep and tell yourself that that object will make you remember your dreams. Always look at this object before you sleep, if you wake up in the middle of the night, and of course, upon waking up. Training your mind to do so will associate that object to your dreams, making you remember better!


The Benefits Of Keeping A Journal

The main benefit of keeping a journal is improving dream recall, and extending the experience of the dream into reality. Just like how re-reading a book or re-watching a favorite movie evokes the feelings felt when experienced the first time, only more potent and personal. This is most especially important with lucid dreams, as lucid dreams are of your own conscious creations, and like any work of art, you don’t want it to go to waste!

Another benefit is training your mind to be able to revisit your previous dreams, or at least, the theme of said dreams. Have you ever experienced dreaming about very similar places and experiencing very similar things over the course of your life? Imagine being able to consciously go back to those dream places when you lucid dream. The journal, with its records of details, will help you with that.

And finally, it also helps expand your mind. Making effort to recall your dreams, and the skills and the knowledge you have gained in those dreams, makes your mind stronger, its reach bigger than before. Think of it like bodybuilding, but for your brain. And the stronger your mind gets, the more potent your dreams and the potential they carry can be.

More details about recalling dreams and keeping a journal will be coming soon! In the meantime, enjoy this binaural beats track formemory and learning, which helps with dream recall.
