Having continuous nightmares or insomnia? Lucid dreaming might help ease the anxiety. Lucid dreaming is being aware of when you’re dreaming, while you’re dreaming. Much like the 2010 Christopher Nolan film, Inception, although not quite as dramatic, it is most definitely possible for anyone to learn how to lucid dream. The practice not only allows for control over your dreams and helps one gain awareness in the dream-state, but the benefits of this positive experience are brought over in your time spent awake. As you learn to maneuver your sleeping mind, you can feel at ease knowing you have released stress in the dreamworld and can wake up feeling lighter. As Cyrena Lee explains in the self-help guide Lucid Dreaming, “lucid dreaming is an incredible tool for problem-solving.”
