Is Lucid Dreaming A Sin?
I have a personal interest in lucid dreaming and so I do my own research and experiments. I like to share my findings and give my opinions and get into discussions about this topic. I recently ran across a question asking, “Is lucid dreaming a sin?”. My immediate reaction to this question was disappointment and frustration.
To me, this question is very annoying. There is no way to answer this question for everyone. The answer to this question is going to be different for each person as it depends on two things:
- The definition of “sin”
- Whether or not you believe in the definition of “sin” as it is known to you.
This could be further narrowed down to just, what you believe is a sin. The thing that is disturbing about the question being asked is that the asker obviously doesn’t know what the definition of a sin is in their life and is looking to someone else to find that answer.
First and foremost, I strongly urge anyone who has this question to find out within themselves the definition of what a sin is. And by this I mean, do not take the word of anyone or anything. Your whole life and the world you live in is defined based on your decision. If you choose to give that decision up to someone else, then you are at the whim of someone else’s world view.
I have a really hard time with this question because I know there are two types of people in the world. There are followers and non-followers. I know the typical opposite of follower is leader, but there are actually people who are not followers and not leaders at the same time.
If you are a follower, then it is as easy as taking the word of any source that you trust. If that be your religious leader, your parents, your teachers, this blog, some random book you found or who knows.
If you are a non-follower, it is very likely that this question would not even cross your mind. However, if it has, it is a matter of coming to a conclusion about what a sin is and if lucid dreaming fits within that definition, you have your answer.
Now, I will tell you what I think. In my opinion, from all I have gathered about what a sin is, lucid dreaming is NOT a sin.
You are more than welcome to disagree. There will be no hard feelings from me. I might be slightly disappointed in you, but you can’t please everyone.
I would absolutely love to hear what you have to say about it. Please let a comment about it.
Until next time, happy dreaming to you!

Is Lucid Dreaming Real?
I see this question asked from time to time and it always kind of puzzles me. However, I can understand why someone would ask, “Is lucid dreaming real?”. To someone who has never experienced it and has heard someone describe it, it must seem pretty unbelievable.
From my own experience, I can tell you that, yes, lucid dreaming is absolutely real. You don’t have to take my word for it though. There are plenty of account and claims and descriptions of people doing it on the internet. There is, however; a bit of confusion and gray area regarding lucid dreaming.
Some people describe it as being more than what it is such as referring to it as astral projection. I have also seen where people have substituted the term “sleep paralysis” for lucid dreaming.
I think lucid dreaming is it’s own thing and that thing is the realization that you are dreaming. Scientific tests have shown that a dreaming brain and a lucid dreaming brain look very different. A lucid dreaming brain shows activity similar to a brain of a person who is awake. This to me shows that more of the conscious mind is aware and in control and since the body is actually in a state of paralysis.
This is where the fun happens because the dreamer, at this point, is in the dream world and fully capable of observing and/or controlling that world. With practice, it is an experience unlike any other.
Now, I also strongly believe that lucid dreaming is easily a starting point for a number of other states of mind or spirit. Much of this starts to become a matter of belief. Some people believe that people are already connected in some way to begin with and that lucid dreaming offers a conduit to exploring that connection. There are even some scientists who havce claimed to perform and document these activities.
I think you will find that this area of study will grow in the somewhat near future as people realize what humans can really do, but that is getting a bit out of range for this post.
Without a doubt, lucid dreaming is real and without going beyond that, it isn’t some magical type of event. It is quite a natural occurrence and I would suggest that anyone should try it. If you have worries or doubts, I encourage you to keep snooping around the internet and continue your research. It is an experience that is easily attainable and absolutely worth trying.
Best of luck to you. Please leave a comment if you have questions. Like us on Facebook! Join our mailing list to stay up to date with our findings as we continue our research and also get the special items we give to our members.

Using Meditation To Induce Lucid Dreaming
Meditation can be used as a type of lucid dreaming induction. To become better at lucid dreaming, it is necessary to focus the mind to some degree in order to be prepared prior to dreaming. Meditation is a very useful and effective way to prepare the mind. When you can focus your intentions, as meditation allows you to do, lucid dreaming is easier to induce.

Is Lucid Dreaming Dangerous?
The short answer is "No", however, it also depends on your definition of "dangerous". Lucid dreaming is merely the realization that one is dreaming. That alone is not dangerous. People sometimes confuse lucid dreaming for other sleep activity such as astral projection or out of body experiences (OBE's). Venturing beyond lucid dreaming may be considered as having more of a risk, but that is for another post. For this post, let us focus on lucid dreaming.

Active vs. Passive Lucid Dreaming
There are two main types of lucid dreaming. Active Lucid Dreaming is when the dreaming takes control of a dream and makes decisions that alters or guides the dream. Passive Lucid Dreaming is when the dreamer realizes they are dreaming, but continues to remain at the whim of the dream. In other words, the dream does not attempt to control the dream, but rather just witnesses the dream.

“Wolf Poodles” by Anthony Hall
While dreaming one night in early January 2011, I was having one of my usual moderately controlled dreams. At one point, I was walking through a very large rustic cabin-style house. The inside of the house seemed very large. Much larger than what you expect to see for a cabin-style house. There was furniture all over the place. It almost seemed like too much furniture. Each room had too many couches and chairs and tables to be appropriate.

Smile To Keep Lucid Dreaming
Smiling can help you to stay in your dream and allow you to keep lucid dreaming longer. It is something that has worked for me for years. Smiling releases endorphins and serotonin into the body which are "feel good" chemicals that help you relax. Sometimes the content of dreams can cause the dream to become afraid or excited which releases adrenaline into the body which can easily cause the dreamer to awaken.
