Dream power and the subconscious mind

By LitCraft, May 29, 2010 12:15 am

Dreams are a compilation of unedited images, information and imagination. The power of dreams lies not so much in their content as in the behavior of the subconscious mind. The subconscious mind doesn’t have much of a truth filter. It believes what it’s told by your dreams.

This makes it especially important to have good dreams. If you dream pleasant, proactive or uplifting dreams, you wake up with a positive outlook. Similarly, this is why negative dreams can make you feel uneasy upon waking.

If you need to improve your mood, consider manipulating your dreamtime. Your brain is most likely to dream about information it gathered before going to bed. This means that positive affirmation tapes, music with uplifting lyrics, or a personal pep-talk or success mantra can have a healthy effect on your psyche.

If you’re studying for a test. Do a recap in the evening. Fifteen minutes of listening to your own voice on tape before bed every night can help train your brain to focus on the information you need to remember. If you’ve typed notes into a computer, consider using text-to-speech TTS to keep your subconscious in the loop.

Consider giving yourself a dream speech or pep talk before nodding off. Over time, this proactive message will have an impact on your subconscious and you’ll find yourself more likely to think and feel the things you’ve consciously chosen.

For artistic reasons, you can journal your dreams each morning. Who knows what kind of creative material your mind could supply you with?
