Tibetan Dream Yoga Can Kick-Start Creativity and Increase Your Neural Connections While You Sleep

Here’s the most creative way to practice lucid dreaming

Are you interested in lucid dreaming? When you have lucid dreams, you are asleep but conscious of what’s happening. In some cases, people can control their dreams too. Tibetan dream yoga might interest you if you are a fan of experimenting with dreams since it’s possibly the first form of conscious dreaming practiced.

The goal of Tibetan dream yoga is to control your dreams and engage in specific tasks. You might aim to converse with enlightened beings, for instance, or visit other realms of existence while you sleep.

The idea is to step closer to mind mastery and enjoy various experiences you can’t have in your everyday existence on Earth.

Whether you think you can really talk to Einstein or an alien in your sleep might not matter too much, since the main benefit is to gain knowledge, and dream yoga helps to expand your imagination so you might tap into an undiscovered well of wisdom hidden in your consciousness.

Open your mind

Dream yoga begins by challenging your mindset about dreaming. At present, you might imagine you only sleep at night. However, you entertain daydreams on and off throughout the day while you’re wide awake.

Your imagination produces pictures you can follow and might drop in a story-line too. Sometimes, you hear an inner narrative about what you see in your mind. Perhaps you consider chores you must do later and picture yourself carrying them out. Or, you think about an event from the past and go over it.

Each time you think of the past or future, your imagination is working and you are more present in your daydream than in the waking world of here and now.

You may daydream about stories that have nothing to do with actual events too and let your mind drift to various topics and tales.

When you recognize you dream much of the time, even when you aren’t sleeping, you can begin to see how it’s possible to be fully conscious at the same time as dreaming at night, just as you are in the day.

Dream yoga could change your brain

People who are adept at lucid dreaming are conscious while they sleep. They know they are sleeping, and they assume control of their dream state. Some believe what they do in their dreams will influence what happens to them in their waking lives too, and the concept isn’t as far-fetched as it may sound.

All your experiences have an impact on your psyche. You form new neural networks and deepen others, or let them fade, depending on what happens to you. So, it makes sense that experiences acquired when dreaming might influence your brain as much as those you meet when you’re awake.

Your awareness will grow when you question the nature of reality because you open the door to greater possibilities. If you can accept dreaming isn’t only a night-time occupation and dreams impact your growth just as daytime experiences do, you’ll be ready to practice Tibetan dream yoga.

Create an intention

Prepare your mind and create the intention to experience a dream in which you are conscious. Choose a specific task to carry out too, such as meeting a wise spiritual adviser while you dream. Alternatively, visit a particular place, or have a particular talent while you dream.

Practice visualization

When you are relaxed, deepen your intention to have a lucid dream by visualizing yourself carrying out your chosen task. Picture yourself going to bed, falling asleep, and accomplishing your aim with ease.

Rather than drift through the experience, use your imagination on purpose. Remember, you are in charge, so you call the shots and make things happen. The more you practice while awake in the day, the easier it will be to do so at night when you dream.

Take charge of your daydreams too. Note when your imagination is in full-flood. Catch yourself making up stories or visiting old memories or thinking about the future. Control what happens in your mind.

You can also practice by exercising your imagination with simple tasks. Picture yourself running downstairs, for instance, or turning on a tap. See yourself climbing a tree, planting a bulb, or carrying out other jobs.

Go over your task before you sleep

Just before you sleep, recall the action you want to accomplish in detail and affirm your intention. It may take a while, but at some point you are likely to be sleepy, or actually dreaming, and recognize you are no longer properly awake.

As soon as this happens, practice using your imagination the same way you did in the day. Carry out a small task at first. Bounce a ball or scratch your head, for instance. Work toward fulfilling your intention, too. If you can remember what you want to do, go ahead and try.

Expand your intentions

When you are used to dream yoga, increase your activity and broaden your goals. Rather than aiming to just meet a wise guide, for example, ask them specific questions. Or intend to find out what it’s like to be an eagle or a whale so you expand your experiences and knowledge.

Dream yoga practice is helpful because it increases mindfulness and aids self-mastery. It might even increase your neural network and change your brain. At the very least, it will entertain you.
