The ability to control your own sleep sounds intriguing, but why such measures? Power over one's own dreams is necessary when their content does not suit us. Nightmares, exhausting and frequent awakenings, lack of sleep - all this interferes with living every new day, making important decisions, communicating, enjoying life. In addition, sleep is known for its unique features: information processing and the launch on an unconscious level of analysis of life and specific life situations. Thanks to this function, many solutions to complex problems occur without our consciousness and are then embodied in life. So you can skip the most important moments of your existence!
To change the situation, to wrap the power of sleep in our own strength. Psychologists have long adopted self-programming as an effective method of managing themselves, including their dreams.
How to manage your sleep using software? The main task is to make dreams come true. For its implementation, a certain self-adjustment is required - a program for remembering and controlling sleep. And this preparation should be carried out shortly before bedtime - it's time to influence yourself. At the time of preparing for sleep, our brain is most vulnerable. Everything that we begin to think about at this moment is reflected in our dreams, on our condition, and even finds a place in the next day. That is why great minds before going to bed pronounced their best practices so that everything came together. That is why modern educators advise repeating a learned poem before going to bed so that you can tell it without hesitation the next day in a lesson.
Sleep management is not an easy task. You won’t learn this at one time. It should start small.
First, learn to think about something specific before going to bed, and you will see how the content of dreams changes. Experiment and observe day by day. That will be enough for now. Be patient, gradually realize how to learn how to manage sleep, do not get ahead of yourself. While you are learning to do a simple but very important thing: to subordinate chaotic thoughts before going to bed to purposefully formulated ones.
The next step should be a clear understanding of the fact that any information that we received before bedtime, or rather its emotional coloring, inevitably falls into our subconscious mind and colors the actual areas of life in just such a mood. For example, reading a novel before going to bed makes you doubt your relationship with the opposite sex in your life. Why add drama where he didn’t even think about appearing? .. To everyone’s surprise, psychologists, adherents of the ideas of the subconscious and unconscious, noticed: if the reading is not done by you, but, say, the son in the next room is reading out loud or watching TV, emotions, thoughts, ideas from this book or TV still penetrate your subconscious. They are processed by the brain in the same way as any other information, as an indisputable fact, an axiom. Do you need extra stereotypes, extra barriers that stop you on the way to achieving goals? .. And all this becomes possible due to the openness of the mind of any information in the stage of falling asleep.
And now the main thing - why not use this state for your own good, in the name of development and growth over yourself, in order to achieve your own life goals? Why not nourish the mind with really useful, positive information?
This is what sleep management comes down to - creating a conscious program for yourself in the form of musical composition, audio recordings, in the form of books, articles and useful videos. In the content of the program will be embodied your wildest life goals and desires. And let it be inspiring, encouraging to bold actions and decisions, but also making you think, weigh, evaluate the situation. The brain is the same computer: give it a task and it will not calm down until it solves it. Therefore, the program may look like one single question that you need to find the answer to.
If the personal crisis is an urgent problem for you, you need a reassessment of values (during life this inevitably happens with each and more than once), use the hour before bedtime to draw the right conclusions, put all the dots above and where they belong ...
If you want to rethink what happened during the day, ask this question before going to bed and you will find a reasonable explanation and the mind will make the right conclusions for the future.
How else can you use such an amazing state of the body, your fantasy will tell. You can dream, plan the future, hope, thereby setting yourself up for the positive and the environment too. Do you have a business meeting the next day? Why not work through your thoughts about its positive outcome? And so on.
But managing sleep does not come down only to self-tuning "up to." Management should continue during sleep. During a dream, if you manage to realize that you are sleeping, you will be able to believe that everything is possible in a dream, you can consciously change the course of your sleep. Surely, this has already happened, but somehow by accident. It's time to make chance a habit, to work out a different outcome of situations, to look at yourself with different eyes, to realize what you really want. All impossible in reality becomes possible in a dream.
Feel free to change the course of events, feel how the world (albeit not real) depends on you, needs you. True, a pleasant feeling ?! Thus, self-confidence and the incentive to do something in reality are born. Just as you gained strength, you can heal yourself from phobias, outline the path of your further development, realize what you are capable of.
The plot of the dream can be laid at the time of preparation for sleep, also using an altered state of consciousness. Just do not forget to tell yourself that it is possible to control a dream and you are ready to do it.
Sleep management is one of the ways to take an active position in your life, manage it, yourself, others, plan your future. And this, of course, is better than setting yourself up for negativity, constantly realizing that the desired is floating further away ...
