How to Make Dreams a Reality

Humans are dreamers.  You, I, and everyone else on this planet all have dreams – visions of what we would like to happen.  People we would like to meet; places we would like to go; achievements we would like to accomplish. 

Dreams are what drive humans to do the things we do; to build, craft, and create.

You undoubtedly have dreams of your own, but you also probably know that simply having dreams is not the same as achieving them.  We all have dreams, but how many of us actually see them come to fruition?

Not many, which is why humanity is constantly searching for a way to make dreams come to life.

Believe it or not, each person has the potential to manifest his or her dreams in the real world – to convert them from imagination and thoughts and products of the mind to products of reality.  And believe it or not, the secret is not overly complex, or even excessively difficult.

All you need to do, first and foremost, is learn how to harness the power of psychic energy and use natural cosmic power for your own needs.  Here is how you can do exactly that.

The Law of Attraction

You may have heard people discuss this concept on television lately.  It has become quite popular over the past few years, but the Law of Attraction is anything but a faddish creation, something dreamed up by people who want to sell a few books and get famous.  No, the Law of Attraction is something else entirely: a cosmic force that occurs naturally in the universe.

Taking advantage of the Law of Attraction is the secret to making your dreams a reality.

The Law, simply put, states that good things happen to people who desire them. In other words, by using positive psychic energy and sending it out into the universe, you will naturally ‘attract’ that which you desire.  Positive psychic energy creates positive occurrences, which in turn creates the benefits you crave.

But how do you take advantage of this phenomenon?

Using the Law

The trick to using the law is less of a trick and more of a way of life. 

If you have a dream (and chances are, you do!), focus on your dream in a positive way.  Dwell on what it would mean, and what it would take.  Concentrate on the positive.  And imagine that you are sending positive psychic energy into the universe.

Then, start to know that what you dream about will actually come true.  Don’t just wish; know. Go about life with a positive attitude, and look constantly for the opportunities that your good energy will bring about.

The Law says that because you are constantly thinking about your dream – and constantly emitting positive psychic energy – you are attracting the energy that will make your dreams come to you and happen in your life.

So, if you want your dreams to become reality – and that is definitely a possibility – then you need to heed the Law of Attraction.  Think positive – and let the power of the universe work for you.

Lucid Dreams

Dreams are incredibly intriguing and can provide insight into our conscious and unconscious thoughts, fears, feelings, and beliefs. Almost everyone can recall specific dreams that have occurred sometime in life. Sometimes we may wake up and remember a weird dream we had the night before. Other times we may not remember a single dream we had that night. However, there are times in which we are aware that we are dreaming while the dreams are occurring; these are known as lucid dreams. Anyone can have a lucid dream; however, they tend to be most common in children than in adults.

History of Lucid Dreams

            Lucid dreams have been a topic of discussion over the last few decades. However, it is far from a new phenomenon. As early as 415 AD, St. Augustine wrote a letter that alluded to lucid dreams. Despite the presence of these dreams in our lives, it was not until Frederik van Eeden, a Dutch psychiatrist, coined the term “lucid dreams” that we had a name for these conscious dreams. Since this time, a surplus of research and scientific experiments has been conducted to learn more about these intriguing dreams.

Entering Lucid Dreams

            There are two ways to enter into a lucid dream: dream-initiated and wake-initiated. In dream-initiated lucid dreams, a person begins dreaming and in the middle of the dream he or she becomes conscious that they are dreaming. On the other hand, a wake-initiated lucid dream refers to when a person goes from being awake to dreaming without ever leaving consciousness. The following example provides clarification of the difference between these two types of dreams:

You go to sleep and in the middle of the night, you start dreaming about searching for your car keys throughout your house. In the middle of your dream, you realize that it is all a dream and that you are not actually frantically searching for your keys. This is an example of a dream-initiated lucid dream.

Now, imagine lying down in bed to go to sleep and before you become unconscious, you start dreaming. You are frantically searching for your keys and you are aware that you are merely dreaming; however, there was not a time in which you went from a waking state to an unconscious state before you started dreaming. This is an example of a wake-initiated dream.

            Although lucid dreams tend to occur without any thought or planning, there are proven ways to intentionally initiate these dreams with the help of dream specialists. In conclusion, lucid dreams are dreams in which we are conscious while dreaming and can provide an incredible amount of insight into your everyday life.

Nightmares

  We like to think that when we sleep, we will rest in peaceful slumber and enjoy dreams. This does not always happen, though.  Sometimes, the types of dreams we have are not peaceful, but disturbing. When fear and terror enter our dreams and invade our minds, they are called nightmares – and nightmares can be very unsettling.  Like other dreams, though, they can also provide insight into our lives, including our emotions, feelings, and hidden desires and concerns.

Why Nightmares Happen

            What, exactly, is a nightmare? We all know what it is in general, but why do they happen? A nightmare is usually described as a bad dream that invokes powerful feelings of fear, or other negative emotions. These dreams can also involve physical reactions, including increased heart rates, sweating, shaking, and even screaming and crying.

            Nightmares frequently happen because of what we experience in our conscious lives. Our fears and concerns and insecurities about certain situations do not leave us when we sleep; instead, they remain in our minds and spirits and manifest themselves in our dreams, turning them into nightmares.  Frequently, the amount of fear we experience during the day will have an impact on how frequent nightmares can be for us.

How Nightmares Affect You

            Nightmares can be deeply unsettling, to say the least.  Sometimes, the intensity is relatively mild.  We may sleep through them, and vaguely remember the images and sensations when we wake up, but they do not really bother us.  Sometimes, though, they can be incredibly intense and leave us shaken and disturbed for hours, even days or weeks (especially if the nightmares are also recurring dreams).

            Having nightmares can also increase the amount of stress you have in your mind and body, which leads to other complications in your life.  Having stress and fear in our lives is disruptive and interferes with everyday living, which is the main affect nightmares have.

What Nightmares Mean

            While nightmares are scary and disturbing, they can also provide insight into our lives. Pay attention to the next nightmare you have. Try to remember the emotions you felt, and the images and sensations going through your mind. You can use these feelings and thoughts and “dream memories” to uncover fears, doubts, worries, and uncertainties in your life – even some you may not even be aware of!

            Nightmares can be powerful indicators of issues and emotions that are not resolved in your life.  Generally speaking, we don’t have nightmares about issues that are completely resolved and handled. On the contrary, the ones that disturb our souls the most are the ones that are not reconciled, which come up in our nightmares.

            As frightening as they may be, nightmares can also guide us to understanding more about what is going on in our lives.
