Dream Yoga – Sleeping with Heightened Level of Awareness
It has been a very long time since I started to learn about lucid dreaming, but I don’t know why, I have never been so curious about dream yoga before.
All I ever wanted to do was to enjoy my dream world as a virtual reality and also to explore the dream world to find solutions to some real life issues using lucid dreaming. Even though I heard about dream yoga many a times, I never took time to learn about it in detail.

Lucid Dreaming Reality Check Techniques That Actually Work
Most people struggle with lucid dreaming not because they lack techniques, but because they don’t focus enough on what actually matters.
Reality checks are one of the most important parts of lucid dreaming, yet they are often misunderstood or practiced incorrectly.
It’s true that lucid dreaming allows you to do almost anything in your dreams, almost like a kind of virtual reality. But at its core, lucid dreaming is simply about becoming aware that you are dreaming.
Many people see this as just the first step, but in my experience, it is everything.
Dream awareness is the very act of understanding the difference between dream and real life. You build this by becoming more aware of your thoughts during the day and by regularly questioning your reality.
What you do in your waking life is what carries into your dream life. When you make a habit of asking yourself “Am I dreaming?” and apply the techniques you will learn in this post, you naturally begin to do the same inside your dreams.
Reality check techniques are not a one-time action. They are a practice that requires genuine curiosity in your waking life for them to work effectively in your dreams.
Through my interest in both spirituality and lucid dreaming, I’ve come to understand something deeper about the connection between our waking life and dream world. In this post, I’ll explain how reality checks work and how you can use them effectively to become more conscious in your dreams.

Why the Morning Time Is So Important?
We have always heard that the early morning hours must be used constructively because it is the most essential part of our whole day, but have you ever wondered why?
It is because when we wake up our mind gets refreshed as if we have pressed the reset button, this is why they say that we are born again every day as our energy is all new and we can choose a new path to make positive changes.
Sadly, most people lose that freshness soon because they allow the thoughts of yesterday to take over them and this makes their day similar to their recent past.
This is why I am going to bring to light a few techniques that will enable you to take control of your day by clearing the thought patterns you have been carrying around for a long time. Continue reading
