Becoming a Lucid Dreamer: Discovering the Hidden Language of Dreams
Have you ever had a dream where you thought, "If only I could control this dream and change its outcome"?
Many people experience recurring dreams, sometimes with recurring attacks, and feel that they have the potential to control their dreams but don’t know how. This is where the concept of lucid dreaming comes in. Lucid dreaming is a facet of dreaming that allows the dreamer to have control and authority over the dream’s events.
But how does one achieve lucid dreaming?
The key to lucid dreaming is understanding dreams while you're awake. To master your dreams during sleep, you first need to develop a deep awareness of dreams in your waking life. This means intentionally seeking teachings and resources that help you grow in your understanding of the dream language.
When your understanding of dreams increases, you develop the ability to gain control over them. Lucid dreaming is the art of being aware that you're dreaming and then having the power to influence the outcome of the dream. You are conscious of the activities in your dreams and can take full control of what happens in that space.
Steps to Become a Lucid Dreamer:
Acknowledge Your Authority Over Dreams: First, recognize that you can have control over your dreams. This realization is crucial in gaining mastery over them.
Practice Meditation: Meditation is often misunderstood as emptying the mind. However, in Christian practice, meditation involves filling yourself with the Word of God. While the world meditates by emptying, in Christ, we meditate by being filled with the word of God.
To become a lucid dreamer, meditate on teachings about dreams and on the Word of God. Scripture can refine your ability to hear from God and sharpen your awareness of dreams as more than just random images—they are a space where significant spiritual and personal growth can occur.
Understand the Power of Dreams: Consider the story of Solomon, who received an impartation of wisdom through a dream. Upon waking, he became the wisest man on earth. This example from the Bible shows that dreams have the power to impart divine wisdom and direction.
The Bible also warns us of negative influences in dreams, as in the parable where seeds of weeds (tares) were sown while men slept (Matthew 13:25). These examples demonstrate that dreams can affect our lives profoundly, for better or worse.
Becoming a Lucid Dreamer:
A lucid dreamer is someone who is conscious of the reality and impact of dreams. Before you go to sleep, pray and ask God to help you gain mastery and control over your dreams. Spend time in the Word, because the Bible tells us that God’s Word is sharper than any two-edged sword, able to divide between soul and spirit (Hebrews 4:12). The Word refines your ability to discern and hear God in your dreams.
With a heart anchored in Scripture and a growing understanding of the significance of dreams, you will enter the dream realm better equipped. You’ll have the tools to engage with the spiritual realities of dreams, and you'll be empowered to change outcomes in your favor.
Final Thoughts:
You have the authority to influence the direction and outcomes of your dreams. By meditating on teachings about dreams and immersing yourself in the Word of God, you can become a lucid dreamer, fully aware of and in control of your dream experiences.
Solomon learned about dreams from his father, which prepared him to interact with God in the realm of dreams. In the same way, you can learn to interact with the divine and with spiritual realities through your dreams.
Remember, the things that are unseen are eternal, while the visible things are temporary (2 Corinthians 4:18). What we see in the spirit realm and in dreams can be more real than what we see in the natural world. Be conscious of the power of the dream realm and the impact it can have on your life.
My prayer for you is that you will become a lucid dreamer.
I stand in agreement with you that from today you will become a lucid dreamer, that you'll have authority and understanding of your dreams. I pray that through your dreams you gain mastery of life and the affairs of life. I declare that you are not only a dreamer but a lucid dreamer. By the Spirit of God, you are increasing and growing in your gifting, and your abilities are being multiplied through the gift of dreaming. I declare you are already a prophetic dreamer in Jesus' name.
Matthew 18:19-20 (NKJV): "Again, I say to you that if two of you agree on earth concerning anything that they ask, it will be done for them by My Father in heaven. For where two or three are gathered together in My name, I am there in the midst of them."
Amen.
God bless you.
