今天，您拥有许多旨在减少因整天盯着屏幕而导致的数字眼睛疲劳并(reduce digital eye strain)提高睡眠质量的(improve the quality of your sleep)设备。然而，你有没有觉得你在睡觉时是在浪费时间？
如果你每天睡 8 小时左右，这是否意味着你有三分之一的时间完全无所事事？
多亏了清醒的梦，所有的时间都不必浪费了。清醒(Lucid)梦就是要意识到自己在做梦，并且在某种意义上说是在睡觉时保持清醒。如果你学会诱导清醒梦，你可以控制你的梦想，甚至在你的身体得到休息的时候学习新的技能。
这是您需要了解的有关清醒梦以及如何使用移动应用程序诱导清醒梦的所有信息。
什么是清醒梦？(What Is Lucid Dreaming?)
您是否曾经希望您可以将您的梦想变成有趣的冒险并选择这些冒险发生的地点和时间？显然，这在清醒梦中是可能的。你可以飞行、去太空、成为一名破纪录的运动员，还可以和你的狗说话——所有这些都在你睡觉的时候进行。这就像虚拟现实(virtual reality)，除了你的思想可以飞到哪里没有限制。
清醒梦是你知道自己在做梦的梦。这不是人类大脑的正常状态。这就是为什么人们倾向于从清醒的梦中醒来。虽然在其核心，清醒梦的实践是关于停留在这种自我意识的梦境中并进一步探索它。
清醒梦的好处是什么？(What Are the Benefits of Lucid Dreaming?)
诱导清醒梦状态可能需要大量时间和耐心，尤其是如果您以前从未经历过类似的事情。然而，清醒梦可以带来的潜在好处是值得的。
除了在睡觉时享受乐趣之外，您还可以使用清醒梦来克服过去的创伤或恐惧症，并忘记做噩梦。如果你倾向于抑郁，清醒梦可以通过提高你的自我意识来帮助你应对它。
当你在做梦时，你的想象力没有限制，这反过来又会增加你在现实生活中的创造力和原创思维。它还可以对你的身体技能产生有益的影响——你可以在清醒梦中尝试新事物而没有任何风险，这将消除或至少减少在现实生活中尝试它的恐惧。

How To Induce Lucid Dreaming Using Mobile Apps
Tоday you have many deviсеs designed tо reduce digital eye strain caused by staring at screens all day and to improve the quality of your sleep. Yet do you ever feel like you’re wasting time while sleeping?
If you get around 8 hours of sleep daily, does that mean you spend a third of your life doing completely nothing?
All that time doesn’t have to go to waste thanks to lucid dreaming. Lucid dreams are all about being aware that you’re dreaming and in a sense being awake while sleeping. If you learn to induce lucid dreaming, you can take control of your dreams and even learn new skills while your body’s getting rest.
Here’s everything you need to know about lucid dreaming and how to induce lucid dreaming using mobile apps.
What Is Lucid Dreaming?
Do you ever wish you could turn your dreams into fun adventures and choose where and when those adventures take place? Apparently, this is possible with lucid dreaming. You can fly, go to space, become a record-breaking athlete, and talk to your dog – all while you’re sleeping. It’s like virtual reality, except there’s no limitation to where your mind can fly.
A lucid dream is a dream in which you know you’re dreaming. It’s not an usual state for the human mind. That’s why people tend to wake up from lucid dreams. Although at its core, the practice of lucid dreaming is about staying in this self-aware dreamstate and exploring it further.
What Are the Benefits of Lucid Dreaming?
Inducing the state of lucid dreaming can take a lot of time and patience, especially if you’ve never experienced anything like it before. However, it’s worth it for the potential benefits that lucid dreaming can bring.
Aside from having fun while you’re sleeping, you can use lucid dreaming to overcome past trauma or a phobia and forget about having nightmares. If you’re inclined to depression, lucid dreams can help you deal with it through improving your self-awareness.
While you’re dreaming, there’s no limitation to your imagination, which in turn will increase your creativity and original thinking in real life. It can also have beneficial effects on your physical skills – you can try new things while lucid dreaming without any risks, which will remove or at least reduce the fear of trying it in real life.
How To Induce Lucid Dreaming
The idea of taking full control of your dreams couldn’t be more appealing. Imagine using all of that extra time that you spend sleeping to improve your real life skills and talents. There are many different techniques that you can use to induce lucid dreaming. And of course since it’s the 21st century, there’s an app for that.
Lucid Dreamer – For Performing Reality Checks
Reality checking is one of the most important aspects of lucid dreaming. Every now and then, you need to ask yourself whether you’re awake or dreaming, even during the day. Then you should perform a reality check. If you fail the reality check, you’ll realize you’re dreaming and can try to take over that state.
Lucid Dreamer is a free app that has a built-in Reality Checker. It will give you certain tasks like looking at yourself in the mirror, reading a book, or moving objects. You’ll get notifications to perform the task during the day to do it regularly. Once you build the habit out of it, when you’re alerted by the specific sound or vibration from the app you will perform the reality check in your dream and trigger the lucid dreaming state.

Binaural Beats Therapy – For Exercising WILD Technique
One popular lucid dreaming technique is called WILD (Wake Initiated Lucid Dreaming) and it implies initiating a lucid dream as soon as you go to bed.

Simple Habit – For Guided Meditation

Take Up Video Gaming For Better Lucid Dreaming
Playing video games to induce lucid dreaming probably isn’t the advice you expected to hear. Yet it’s one of the best ones. When you’re playing a game, you submerge into a virtual reality where you learn to control your movements and decision to progress in the plot. Lucid dreaming happens to require the same skillset. Pick your favorite games and start practicing.
