we all have desired sometime during our
life to have the possibility to face our
deepest fears experience risky
situations without having any danger or
even improving our mental and physical
skills from one day to the other just
imagine having the ability to fly all
over the city with underwater skydive
from the Earth’s tallest building or
being part of your favorite movie ladies
and gentlemen let me tell you this is
all possible is a human capacity we can
all develop believe it or not through
sleep the way a wonderful state where
although our body is at rest
our brain isn’t my name is Francisco
Parra and this is lucid dreams as we
sleep our brain creates different
scenarios based on all the stored data
we have in our subconscious this
includes everything we have seen heard
smelled tasted and filter our entire
lives this is the main reason why
sometimes we might dream of similar to
reality situations or other times we
might dream of illogical events that
make no sense this means in other words
that we might dream riding a blue horse
but this does not mean we have seen a
blue horse before this means that we
know that blue by heart and we have seen
a horse sometime during our life so what
our subconscious does is mix these two
things in order to create a dream
element during our sleep we have the
capacity of being aware that we are
dreaming and being able to change all of
these elements surrounding us just
imagine having a time during your sleep
where you can do anything you desire
anything every imagination could come up
with things you never believed possible
this is what a lucid dream is yeah we
ready to do what ever you have ever
wished to do the moment that the dreamer
realizes that his within a dream is a
moment where he deepest where he depends
deep inside a lucid dream having an
infinite amount of possibilities and
scenarios which he can now live once the
dreamer is inside that was a dream he is
able to change all of the dream elements
such as the dream character
now rative an environment created by the
subconscious something really fun about
lucid dreaming is that they are way
different than average dreams once
you’re inside a lucid dream you have the
you can you have your senses intensify
becoming five times stronger than
reality this means that everything you
will experience will feel realer than
reality as you achieve consciousness you
the only step left for you is to relax
and experience things you have never
been able to do before
lucid dreams my tongue does it very
innovative and quite recent topic but
actually it has been used since the
beginning of humanity the first
documentation czar from Tibetan Buddhist
and Hindu cultures which stayed back
from to 1000 years before Christ also
many philosophers such as Aristotle and
Rene his car test took place on the
research but later their findings were
ignored due to the church social
pressure judeo-christian culture
believed that dreams had access to
higher truths and they were often
associated with witchcraft and Satanism
this is probably the main reason why
Western cultures still fear or ignored
this kill we all have nowadays there is
no space for speculations or theories
since lucid dreams were scientifically
proven by 1978 when all of the brain
activity during our sleep was specified
as we can see here we have the
prefrontal cortex of the brain it is in
charge for our logical reasoning
self-assessment and our personality as
we go to sleep our prefrontal cortex
also those are at least activity seems
drastically decreased not allowing us to
think critically perceive strange
situations or have a strong personality
this means that during our sleep as we
face fictional and quite unusual dream
we might experience multiple
personalities or for instance we can we
can be fearless and once we are fearless
we can do things we wouldn’t do once a
week and when we wake up we would ask
ourselves how in the world was I doing
that well also since this is a human
capacity
we can all have having a lucid dream is
having the ability to wake this back up
in such way that your brain activity
will be the same as when you are awake
this way your neurological system would
not be able to differentiate between a
logic a lucid dream and a real life
experience which will cause our brain to
believe that what we’re dreaming is not
just a matter of our imagination but
rather something we’re actually doing
for instance we might dream we are
walking on the moon and our brain will
actually believe we’re walking on the
moon if were for example we can practice
things you have never done before you
can learn to do skills such as playing
sports or delivering a speech and you
will actually improve in real life now
please close attention sleep is divided
into different stages which are the
hypnagogic state a light dreamless sleep
deep sleep and REM this all makes the
sleep cycle during the hypnagogic state
we all feel more of a heavy drowsiness
than of sleep it is the state where we
experience more of dreaming
hallucinations and that flash and fade
within our subconscious the next state
is the light dreamless sleep it is more
of a transition between a semi-conscious
state to a complete blackout state yet
without dreaming the deep sleep is the
deepest level of dreamless sleep deep
sleep is restorative sleep it is where
human growth cells are released in order
to repair ourselves and recharge our
batteries for the next day and finally
REM which stands for rapid eye movement
it is the most amusing state of all it
is where our brain our body paralyzes
and our brains activity activity boosts
up creating all the type of dreams we
all have now sleep occurs in cycles each
one starting on the hypnagogic state
for around 30 minutes then you will
enter a light dreamless sleep for your
short time period which will be around
10 minutes then you will get into deep
sleep for a half an hour and here’s the
tricky part
you won’t go straight to REM you you
would go back to let dreamless sleep for
another 10 minutes I’m finally being
able to reach REM and having the last 10
minutes of your sleep and made up of
entirely dreaming this cycle has an
approximate time of 90 minutes and that
as it is repeated it will repeat it from
4 to 5 times every night which means you
will have from 4 to 5 opportunities
every single night to become lucid as
this process repeats that deep sleep
duration will decrease and the REM
duration will increase leaving you
almost with the last sleeping hour made
up of entirely dreams all states have a
purpose the non REM states are used
mostly to rest your body and the REM
state is used mostly to consolidate our
memory and integrate our psychological
processes after multiple experiments it
has been observed that during our lucid
dreams we start exhibiting high levels
of gamma brainwaves which are often
associated with high levels of
meditation and hypnosis this means that
once we become lucid within a dream
we our REM state becomes tragically more
beneficial our brain is divided into our
conscious and our subconscious our
conscious makes up only 10% and our
subconscious is the other 90% containing
everything we have done said hurt smelt
and tasted it is an enormous database
which our conscious mind has limited
access dreams are 100% made of
subconscious the only thing conscious
will be your presence once you become
lucid using transforming it into a
wonderful tool to commemorate lost
memories and we experience things you
what benefits does lucid dream bring I
asked the same question about one month
ago as I was planning my speech luckily
that same day I managed to have one
lucid dream I was laying at the beach as
I was having a massage I could hear the
waves on the seizure and feel the
cooling breeze on my body it was
probably the best massage I’ve ever had
I decided to seize that moment to
reflect on my speech and see what
benefits did might bring I found myself
with multiple reasons and that will
grant you a change on your personal
social and psychological health
well the loose dreams can help you
become a much more productive person and
change your life once you’re part of a
lucid dream you can do anything your
imagination decides you can rather
travel to places you have never been
before take part on activities you have
never been able to perform have deep
conversations with your inner self or
even challenging the laws of physics but
this is not what lucid dreaming is about
lucid dreaming has way more benefits
just imagine if I could tell you that
you could train as you sleep and
actually improve your performance
no plasticity is the ability for the
brain to change think of it as a network
of interconnected circuits where
everything and action you do is one
pathway of the circuit and the most-used
pathways are linked to your habits we
all have the potential to change these
pathways we can rather strengthen them
weaken them or divert their direction in
such way that they can help us change
our personality behavior and skills once
lucid dreams are way different than
average dreams because they can engage
neuroplasticity in such an extent as
when you’re awake this means that your
neurological system won’t differentiate
either if you are dreaming or not since
within a lucid dream you connect with
much more confidence and freedom you
might for instance challenge yourself to
experience out of your comfort zone
situations where you can learn train and
change your personality in a positive
way for instance a martial arts artists
would like to improve his skills and
master them he decides to do this
through lucid dreams so as he practiced
them
he was think he will strengthen the
brain pathways towards this activity and
once he wakes up he would improve
drastically as almost as if he had
stayed all night practicing it or
perhaps we all know someone who has a
huge potential who comes up with
brilliant ideas but he can manage to get
them across due to his shyness well
through lucid dream
this person can destroy these fears and
improve and by acting confidently he
will improve this pathways in such way
that the brain pathways will each time
be more easier to perform this way he
will have a better self-esteem and will
lose his shyness those dreams can
although can also help treat
psychological and mental problems all
the way from phobias to addictions in
the case of phobias and fears they can
be treated by directly interacting with
them the and once you wake up you would
be able to realize that they are
actually not as bad as you thought they
were and in the case of addictions you
can stop having bad habits you used to
have by practicing them within a dream
multiple reports of people who suffered
from obesity and couldn’t stop eating
just managed to get into a really strict
diet and lose lots of weight they all
state that they ate whatever they wanted
when they were lucid and they were
without increasing their weight and our
brain actually sending such Association
signals to the gut telling them they are
food other than all of these benefits
lucid dreaming is a really exciting
activity and will for sure the next day
you will feel a sense of joy and
achievement this way you will change the
way you perceive sleeping hours they
will no longer be boring lost time but
now they will be the most exciting part
of the day now the most important
question of my TED talk how can I
achieve a loose
dream this is very simple by following
that three steps I’m about to tell you
first of all you can you must improve
your dream Rico many people are sure
that they have no dreams when actually
we all dream various dreams every night
just imagine having the best dream
you’ve ever had being able to do things
you’ve never done before and then you
wake up and you forget about everything
this will be really sad
so a good way to improve your dream Rico
would be by having a dream journal where
you record all of your dreams even if
you don’t remember you write I don’t
remember in such way that you create the
habit you will be able to notice that
difference within two or three days now
you’re ready for step number two to step
number two is questioning reality
question everything you see things that
don’t seem to fit in strange situations
with our objects watch for mystical
creatures strange behaviors that
relatives things that are not usually
where you are once you spot them you’ll
be ready for it step number three which
are reality checks reality checks are
some simple actions you can do in order
to know if you are awake or at sleep
there are infinite techniques to perform
reality checks what I’ll share with you
my three personal favorites first one is
to read or try using a digital device
during dreams they tend to malfunction
and texts will usually make no sense the
second one is try closing your nose in
such way that nowhere comes low if you
are able to breathe this means we are
within a loop a dream and third and my
personal favorite you can pinch your arm
and if you feel no pain this means you
are within a dream so if you in this
moment adopt all about reality you can
go ahead and feel free to ask your
neighbour to smack you in the head and
wake you back up the more you practice
these steps within reality the more you
will practice them within your sleep
transforming them drastically improving
your possibilities or falling in a low
stream the most common way people
flowing lucid dreams is by pouring dream
Mali’s once they become lucid they
experience a rush of adrenaline and
excitement which will take them straight
back to their bed this is because these
dreams cannot handle high levels of
excitement this is the main reason where
someone weighs sometimes when we have
nightmares
we’ll always wake up one second before
we feel the pain of an injury that
horrific creature captures or with lamb
with the street floors so remember stay
calm as soon as you become lucid calm
yourself once all these simple steps are
done you will be able to achieve
conscious consciousness being able to
walk wrong float or fly around the
projection of your brain lucid dreams
are equation of our subconscious
having high levels of detail this will
often confuses and make us believe we
enter the new reality but with different
rules here we can do anything we want
things reality forbids us trying to
define a lucid dream is like trying to
define happiness we all have a different
concept of it and even if I used all of
the words in the dictionary I would not
be able to explain to you exactly how it
lucid dreaming experiences those the
Dreaming is for everyone as long as you
sleep no matter where no matter how
since this is saying this is natural
within the human race in my case as I
discovered lucid dreaming I found it in
some way too good to be true or quite
unlike but as I depend my inquiring and
manage to have some personal experience
I became able to assure you the validity
of the information and I was able to
discover this new world full of
unlimited experiences so finally I would
like to farewell inviting all of you to
inquire more about lucid dreaming and
deepening into this world full of
exciting and fascinating adventures
thank you and sweet dreams [Applause]
