Lucid Dreaming - The Doorway of Our Consciousness

Hello Beautiful Souls,

I wanted to put this post together as a resource for the art of Lucid Dreaming. Lucid Dreaming is one of the most powerful ways we have in this incarnation, to break beyond the veils and transcend the illusions of this reality. And because of this, it is one of the tools that I love to share with others. 

The main reason for this is because, when you wake in in the dream, it becomes easier to experience the concept of "All is Mind". In the dream, your mind, your consciousness, is creating your experience, therefore, what you can do in dreams, transcends all physical limitations. 

In a dream you can fly, you can breathe underwater, you can change the dream, you can transform things, rewind time.... anything your mind can imagine, you can do.  

One of the techniques that is considered more advanced in lucid dreaming, is to walk through a wall. It really shows us how much we have bought into the illusion of the material world, and even in a dream the mind can get tripped up on this one thing. 

But when we can break free, our imagination is limitless!

This is why I personally feel this is one of the most powerful tools we can utilize in our lifetime, as a way to expand our consciousness and break free from any constructs on our mental body. And why I share this as a practice and a tool.

Beginning to learn why we do the things we do, or feel stuck by the things that seem to hold us back is important. Our perceptions are the filter in which we see the world. How I experience this world will always be different than the way you are experiencing it. 

Our perceptions are everything, and our perceptions are the result of the wiring and programming of our belief systems, our cellular memories, our ancestral debt, possible implants, and the synthetic telepathy or programing we are ingesting.  

Every single person on this planet is walking around in their very own world!

And this brings us to one of the most powerful quotes... if you want to change something, change your mind. 

It can be difficult at first to break away from the mainstream of group consciousness. One of the most challenging things to do, is having the courage to think different than our family. This can feel like loosing oneself or even feeling abandoned or alone. 

But there comes a moment in our life when we get nudged to find our deeper truth. And one of the best ways to do this, is to question everything. Even the nature of the "physical" world around us. 

This brings us to a broader understanding of all of the sayings we hear about "Waking Up".  

The whole idea of Enlightenment, Awakening, Waking Up, Expanding Our Consciousness, etc...this is all different ways of saying BECOMING LUCID IN THE DREAM. 

Lucid dreaming is something that we all naturally have the ability to do. In fact, this is something that commonly happens in children under the age of 16. Most of us just didn't know what to call it at the time, or that it was even a big deal. So if you are here now thinking, "I don't dream" or have a hard time remembering your dreams, it is important to know, we can train ourselves to become lucid again. 

Tapping into the power of our natural states of mind....

Our mind is like the waves on the ocean. Every day we are constantly moving in and out of different states of mind. And at night, we now also know that our sleep has waves and patterns. So when you can learn these waves, you can start to train yourself on how to ride the REM states right into being Lucid!

Mindfulness is an incredible tool for starting to observe our thoughts, and to be more aware of what we are thinking. I am not going to go into why that is so important in this post, but it all has to do with the fact that our thoughts create our reality. So knowing what we are thinking is a vital step in starting to create the life we want to create. 

Even though we don't realize it, 

we live most of our life 

in the hypnotic state of mind. 

Daydreaming has LOTS of forms!

Dream realms are real! What happens in a dream directly effects your waking reality. When we conquer a fear in the Lucid Dream, it becomes conquered in our waking life. One of my favorite ways that therapists are utilizing Lucid Dreaming with people now, is for PTSD. Lucid Dreaming is a teachable art, and when a person with PTSD finally becomes lucid in a dream, they can stand up to the panic and fear in the dream, and in one dream, the PTSD is going away. 

Change your mind...Change your life!

I am not going to go into all the mechanics or techniques on when or how to Lucid Dream. Instead, I want to share with you some of my favorite resources so you can take this journey from your own perspective. There are endless things you can do in the Lucid dream state, and what jumps out to you as exciting will be the perfect place for you to start.

Astrocartography

Say What!

This has been an energetic point that I have been debating with inside of myself for years. The idea that our geography on the planet plays into our strengths and weaknesses of self. Years ago I had my astrocartography chart done. It is a chart that uses your birth chart to determine your planetary chart so to speak. You could say it's an extension of getting your Astrology chart done by showing places on the planet that your birth/planet lines run. And these planetary lines in their dualistic nature support or inhibit different natures of our personality.  

I didn't really put to much thought into the chart since I have been moving into the truth that when we really connect with our highest self, our core connection of our truth, our true self, then even our horoscope falls away. We are in a way moving towards a wholeness of self through embracing the entire astrological wheel and balancing into completeness. 

My feelings were that if I experienced the not so harmonious line places on the planet, I could just use that opportunity to bring more of myself into balance.

I have done a fair bit of traveling through the US and South East Asia and in my observation, when we are traveling we are not usually in one place long enough for these lines to really sway us in a significant way.

But when we live somewhere for a longer period of time, then we sort of soak in that vibration and it starts to have a greater effect. I don't know why the idea of a pollutant comes to mind as I type this but it is sort of like that. If you are exposed to a mild poison for a short period, it will not do much. But stay in it and keep exposing yourself to it, well....you get the picture. 

I just want to say again, I didn't put to much weight on this geographical placement of self thing, but the truth is, since our last move, I am really starting to think about this chart a whole lot more now. 

My personal experience with astrocartography.... 

I grew up moving, moving and moving again. I went to thirteen different schools growing up and three alone in my 9th grade year in two states. People always ask if I was a military brat and I say no, but I'm pretty sure my mom was just a gypsy. 

But in all this moving up until 18, I was moving up and down the west coast bouncing back and forth from WA to CA and places in between. The reason this is important is because lines tend to run at long arcs on our astrocartography chart so even through I moved around this much growing up, I was still under the same influences in my chart so energetically where I was along the lines didn't really change. 

My lines along the west coast are challenging to say the least.

My childhood was filled with introspection and even as a child I would analyze personality dynamics. (Moving so much gave me a lot of opportunity for this!) But most of my curiosity I would say was fueled by a desire to figure out the insecurity and depression I felt. My own inner journey into happiness has been my greatest tool in working with others to this day.

At 18 I booked a flight a one way flight to Maui and never looked back. It was the first time I lived in one place for so long....20 years. I tell people, if you want to heal your heart...go to Hawaii. 

A whole new alignment with wholeness and balance began to occur for me. I really began to infuse more of my Earth self with my divine truth. Years later when I looked at my astrocartography chart, I saw a multitude of supporting lines flowing right through the islands for me. I was in the perfect place! 

Then the decision came to move off the island and back to the mainland. This was a hard decision and a whole other post in itself but we ended up moving to Virginia with the goal of moving to NY for our plays. On my chart, the East coast was magical. And in the year and a half that we were there, I felt it. Things flowed, they were great. The only reason I didn't really grow my practice big from there was because I knew we were not going to stay there and we were supposed to be moving to NY so I set up foundations and prepared everything for a smooth transition to NY.  

Well....that didn't really happen. Somehow the whole NY thing changed to LA and the next thing I knew I was driving 3000 miles back across the states to California where we are now. Back to the same energetic planetary lines where I started my life. 

I have been here for almost five months now and what I have experienced in that time has made me really look at the whole chart thing again. And more importantly how to transcend it in order to integrate even more of myself so as to not be effected by it at all. 

The longer I am here, there is this feeling of me slipping away. Things that I know and love and resonated with now feel a little bit dull and like a dream or memory to me rather than something that fuels and fires me. But let me add, it is just a hue, or fog over me, not me. There is truth and information coming through that there is such a great opportunity there in becoming even more even if I feel a little less at first.  

What can we gain from this knowledge?

I have so many thoughts around this hole experience. I do feel that different places on the planet can activate different aspects of us. It makes me think of a black light or infrared light. Different light waves can show us things that are there that we don't see in regular light. Not good or bad, it just is. And with it we can use this information as a strength in order to grow and evolve even more into our core truth of the divine that we are.

We can shine and be the star that we are!
