O que é o sonho consciente?
Muitas pessoas se encontram em uma situação em que estão conscientes em seus sonhos. É aí que eles estão conscientes de que estão sonhando e, ao mesmo tempo, estão em uma realidade consensual que estão vivenciando. Durante o sonho consciente, você não consegue controlar e dirigir alguns dos eventos que acontecem no sonho ou mesmo todos eles. O sonho consciente é na maioria das vezes referido como sonho lúcido.
Como você pode experimentar o sonho consciente?
Se assim o desejar, pode desenvolver o seu sonho consciente a um nível superior. Você pode fazer isso mantendo um caderno ao lado da cama onde você mantém suas atualizações diárias de seus sonhos lúcidos. Com o tempo, você descobrirá que começará a escrever extensivamente sobre suas experiências e, ao mesmo tempo, gostará de fazê-lo e se divertirá muito com isso. Você acabará desenvolvendo a capacidade de ter experiências profundamente sensuais, visitas a realidades alternativas como o sol e a lua e experiências de quase morte. Isso pode se tornar outra avenida de exploração espiritual ou psicológica. Parece emocionante certo!
É comum que os pacientes que se deparam com a análise do sono tenham esses sonhos. Eles se concentram na avaliação do estado de sonho para relatar suas experiências com sonhos conscientes e outras experiências fora do corpo. Quando você tem uma experiência fora do corpo no início do sono, ou mais tarde à noite, ela surge como uma variação de um sonho lúcido. As pessoas que experimentam sonhos fora do corpo dizem que viajam para várias partes do mundo e até para outras dimensões ou reinos. Embora você possa supor que isso acontece devido ao estado mental do sonho, aqueles que experimentam esses tipos de sonhos geralmente têm a sensação de que está acontecendo na realidade. Considere um cenário em que alguém durante o sonho lúcido viaja para a casa de um amigo e descobre que ficou doente; alguns dias depois, eles recebem um telefonema dizendo que aquele amigo em particular está doente. É difícil fazer qualquer coisa com este relatório tendo em mente os caprichos das memórias do sono.
Como podemos distinguir entre sonho normal e sonho consciente?
A principal diferença entre os dois é que, conscientemente, no sonho você está plenamente consciente do que está ao seu redor e se encarrega de quase tudo o que está acontecendo, enquanto no sonho normal você é empurrado pelas circunstâncias sem controle próprio. Os sonhos contêm elementos que não estão presentes em nossa vida normal de vigília e, portanto, continuam sendo um tipo de mistério. Mistérios e qualidades incomuns envolvidos em sonhos têm sido explicados há séculos por curandeiros tradicionais, xamãs, filósofos e contadores de histórias. Os xamãs explicam que, durante o sonho consciente, eles visitam o mundo dos sonhos para obter informações que depois usam para fins de cura. Possui desafios para uma explicação dos conceitos do mundo moderno, tanto a realidade psicológica quanto a física.
