Learn How to Explore and Recall Your Dreams

Have you ever woken from a dream at a crucial moment and then spent the rest of the day wondering what would have happened next? Me too. That is until I discovered dream hypnosis.

Dream hypnosis allows you to re-enter a specific dream or recall a specific memory deep within your subconscious mind. The subconscious mind being your inner memory bank that always communicates to you when you sleep, through your dreams.

It is here within the subconscious that all your memories, secrets, fears, happy and sad times are held, but it is only when you sleep that your mind becomes free of restrictions, such as our ego based thoughts or feelings that your subconscious begins to process, replay and evaluate your daily activities, learned knowledge and past memories etc.

This occurs naturally, in order for you to find a solution, be guided or advised or forewarned about a future problem or event at an unconscious level.

You consciously have no control over this process, because it occurs when you enter a light to medium sleep state and your conscious mind (logical thinking side) automatically becomes dormant allowing your subconscious to take over.

Dream hypnosis is a similar process to sleeping, because both occur during (REM) Rapid Eye Movement sleep state. The only real difference is when you sleep you lose conscious awareness, but when you enter dream hypnosis your focus and attention increases. 

Hence, sleep makes you lose your attention and hypnosis increases your attention.

Hypnosis makes it easier for a dreamer to access their dream, due to both dreams and hypnosis being controlled by the subconscious mind. The same mind being where all your memories and dreams are kept.

Dreams are therefore the language of our subconscious and have three common factors; images, emotions and bodily sensations whereas, your conscious mind speaks via words and thinks more linearly, making it harder to deal with your emotions and images.

The main secret to understanding and interpreting your dreams is by learning to translate your subconscious (images, emotions and sensations) into conscious understanding, by associating your dream with a particular situation in your waking life, or by breaking it down layer by layer, separating the symbols, emotions or feelings and decoding it step by step.

You can do this by writing down your dream in detail by describing your feelings during the dream and after waking, making notes about how you feel, what was happening, the characters in the dream, where they noticeable colours or smells; every detail no matter how minor means something.
