Essential Elements for Building a Lucid Dream World
The Lucid Dream Architect’s Blueprint and Method for World Building
The World of Dreams: We all have dreams, or most of us do, and a few of us remember those dreams. There are authors and creatives who have been inspired by dreams. We need to understand that dreams are a natural process of our bodies to relax, refresh, and rejuvenate our minds.
Most dreams are filled with objects, impressions, people, and situations that we interact with at present, or have been a part of in the past. Sometimes, a particular scent, a song, or an occurrence can trigger a memory, when we are awake. This same memory comes back to us in a vivid dream and we are able to interact with the actions taking place. However, not many of us are actually conscious or fully aware, that we are dreaming, while we are dreaming.
Unlike Lucid Dreaming, there is a science which studies sleep, called the Science of Sleep and Dream Research. Scientists have been doing research for years in the R.E.M. (Rapid Eye Movement) patterns of a sleeping person to ascertain the level of sleep the individual is experiencing. Most of the scientific studies include Dream Reports, where a person records details of the dream immediately on waking up from sleep.
The second method of dream analysis by scientists is with the help of questionnaires, answered by the dreamer on awaking from slumber. The part of the brain called the medial prefrontal cortex helps with dream recall. When a person has an injury to the brain’s medial prefrontal cortex, the individual is unable to remember some dreams. Dreams are an integral part of sleep.
Therefore, I would like to say without any doubt, that the sleep patterns of human beings, the effects of sleep on our brains, the level of sleep, brainwave patterns during sleep, and the dreams we have while sleeping, have been studied and explored by scientists for decades.
Lucid Dreaming is not a phenomenon that has been studied in the field of Science. Lucid Dreaming is a part of dreaming and the experience varies from person to person. Lucid Dreaming has not been scientifically proven. However, there are celebrities who have said that they had experienced lucid dreams. A few Lucid dreaming celebrities are James Cameron, Nikola Tesla, Salvador Dali, Chris Nolan, Stephen King, Richard Feynman, Richard D. James, Richard Linklater, the Wachowski’s, and Albert Einstein.
Einstein used visualization techniques to solve a number of his theories. Nikola Tesla conducted “dream experiments” while he was working in his laboratory. While James Cameron was inspired by his lucid dreams when he developed the images and environment for his movie “Avatar”. Watch Christopher Nolan’s, “Inception” to understand a few key concepts of Lucid dreaming.
Elements for Building the Lucid Dream World: The dream world hypothetically built by a Lucid Dream Architect, if such a profession ever came to exist, would include all signs, symbols, sounds, sensations, and everything that would make the dream environment believable for the subject entering the dream world.
Creation of the Lucid Dream World: Hypothetically, the lucid dream creator first monitors the sleep patterns of the individual he will be working with for the project.
Using the elements of Dream Symbols, and dream imagery, the Dream Engineer starts drafting out how the dream world of his subject would look like. The Architect needs to ensure that the Blueprint of the Subject’s Dream World matches the one he is about to create.
The Lucid Dream Architect models the dream world of the Subject as an ordinary physical model of a scene, like a street, or home or he uses a computer to generate a 3-D model of the Subject’s Lucid Dream World.
The Subject is introduced to the Dream World Blueprint and is told to visualize the plan in vivid detail.
The Lucid Dream Client: This is an important part of the whole Lucid Dream project. The Subject has the key to the problem which he or she is looking to solve, but they do not know it. The answer to the puzzle which the Lucid Dream Architect (L.D.A.) has been brought in to solve, is embedded in the memories and dreams of the subject.
The Object of the Lucid Dream Experience: The main purpose of the Lucid Dream Project needs to be discussed with the client so that it is achieved when the subject enters a state of lucid dreaming by the Architect.
The Entry into the Lucid Dream World: This is done by using hypnosis and visualization techniques, to assist the subject into the dream world. The individual is now familiar with the lucid dream world, which has been replicated by the architect as a physical model or as an intricate 3-D model on a computer program. The Subject has practiced the visualization of the 3-D environment in detail and is now ready to find the answer in an engineered lucid dream experience.
Lucid Dreaming is the stuff of science fiction, which I have attempted to describe in this article. The Lucid Dream Architect may only exist in movies like, “Inception”. The fictionalized career and such an individual may never have a place in the real world. However, the study of sleep and dreams has important scientific benefits.
Maybe someday in the future, lucid dreaming will also be taken seriously. We need more believers in Lucid Dreaming. Are you a Believer now?
