¿Qué es el sueño consciente?
Muchas personas se encuentran en una situación en la que están conscientes en su sueño. Aquí es donde son conscientes de que están soñando y, al mismo tiempo, están en una realidad consensuada que están experimentando. Durante el sueño consciente, parece que no puedes controlar y dirigir algunos de los eventos que suceden en el sueño o incluso todos. La mayoría de las veces, los sueños conscientes se denominan sueños lúcidos.
¿Cómo puedes experimentar los sueños conscientes?
Si así lo desea, puede desarrollar su sueño consciente a un nivel superior. Puede hacerlo manteniendo un cuaderno junto a su cama donde guarda las actualizaciones diarias de sus sueños lúcidos. Con el tiempo, descubrirá que comenzará a escribir extensamente sobre sus experiencias y, al mismo tiempo, disfrutará haciéndolo y se divertirá mucho con ello. Eventualmente desarrollarás la habilidad de tener experiencias profundamente sensuales, visitas a realidades alternativas como el sol y la luna, y experiencias cercanas a la muerte. Esto podría convertirse en otra vía de exploración espiritual o psicológica. ¡Suena emocionante, verdad!
Es común que los pacientes que se encuentran con un análisis del sueño tengan tales sueños. Se enfocan en la evaluación del estado de sueño para reportar sus experiencias con sueños conscientes y otras experiencias fuera del cuerpo. Cuando tienes una experiencia fuera del cuerpo al comienzo del sueño, o más tarde en la noche, aparece como una variación de un sueño lúcido. Las personas que experimentan sueños fuera del cuerpo dicen que viajan a varias partes del mundo e incluso a otras dimensiones o reinos. Si bien puede suponer que esto sucede debido al estado mental en el sueño, aquellos que experimentan este tipo de sueños a menudo tienen la sensación de que está sucediendo en la realidad. Tome un escenario en el que alguien durante el sueño lúcido viaja a la casa de un amigo y descubre que se ha enfermado; unos días después, reciben una llamada telefónica de que ese amigo en particular está enfermo. Es difícil sacar algo de este informe teniendo en cuenta los caprichos de los recuerdos del sueño.
¿Cómo podemos distinguir entre un sueño normal y un sueño consciente?
La principal diferencia entre los dos es que en el sueño consciente eres plenamente consciente de tu entorno y estás a cargo de casi todo lo que sucede, mientras que en el sueño normal, las circunstancias te empujan sin control propio. Los sueños contienen elementos que no están presentes en nuestra vida normal de vigilia y, por lo tanto, siguen siendo una especie de misterio. Los misterios y las cualidades inusuales involucradas en los sueños han sido explicados durante siglos por curanderos, chamanes, filósofos y narradores tradicionales. Los chamanes explican que, durante el sueño consciente, visitan el mundo de los sueños para obtener información que luego utilizan con fines curativos.
