Lucid Dreaming

With all possible searches, just to fill my free time and to keep up the curiosity in me, I believe I've made optimum use of lockdown. To which I did learn something new to experiment on self for better, which brings me to today's topic "LUCID DREAMING". 

What is Lucid Dreaming? We surely love dreaming, maybe we love it as we know, it's the only space we could have complete control or even if something unusual happens we know its not true. And what if we could overcome our fear through dreaming? That is Lucid dreaming. Its a state where we are aware of the dream yet we continue dreaming.

Experiencing VR:

This is almost similar to virtual reality, like if a person has some fear then the person will be suggested to have a virtual reality session.

Or maybe when a person is Nyctophobic (fear of darkness) the person has to complete tasks staying in a dark room for a certain period of time virtually, where the person knows he's not really present but is experiencing it.

Lucid dreaming is the same where we know the truth but we fake it for maybe our happiness, or to overcome fear etc. Many say lucid dreaming helped them overcome their fear. But as even "a coin has 2 sides", lucid dreaming got it's own disadvantages.

Like for me, visiting a place I never visited before via lucid dreaming will be no bad, as its also pocket friendly, but it would only harm me when I would frequently do that only as to escape from the reality. Lucid dreaming is only bad if one uses it as a way of finding happiness, in such a situation the moment he wakes up after lucid dreaming, that will be the end of his happiness.

How lucky the person is to fall asleep only minutes after going to bed. But how lucky are the rest to have the chance to dream to their potential.

I personally would love to lucid dream 😴 so as a form of escapism, how about you?
