The dream state, in Ken's opinion, is another dimension. From this place we are creating new realities and testing how they feel. We are living them, experiencing how we change. We are pretesting ourselves in our dream state, testing ourselves for a new dimension of consciousness. We then recreate our dream in our physical lives to see how it plays out. Lucid dreaming is a powerful method of creating. It is probably one of the most important things Ken practices every day. Research at Stanford University indicates lucid dreaming occurs during REM (rapid eye movement) periods and since most REM sleep takes place in the later part of a night's sleep, morning is likely to be the most favorable time for lucid dreaming. Ken has a great exercise to improve our ability to lucid dream. The purpose of this exercise is to find out if anything in our subconscious is keeping us from creating our dreams. Is there some program or idea going on in our subconscious mind we do not understand or are not aware of? If this is the case, is our subconscious mind keeping us from having what we desire? This is what we will find out through the following lucid dreaming technique. To practice lucid dreaming, first think of a question or something you would like to understand about your life. Maybe your question has to do with a very special relationship or maybe it has to do with being very popular or famous. Maybe it has to do with your health or your job. Whatever it is, write it down. Keep your questions very simple. Use as few words as possible. The more words you use in your question the more information you will receive and the more confusing your dreams will become. In Ken's case he wanted to know what was interfering with his becoming one of the best known healers in the world. Ken's question, as he started his lucid dreaming process, was how would he become the best healer in the world? Through his lucid dreaming he found out his subconscious mind thought if he became extremely popular he would lose his freedom, he would not be able to go out and be in public and he would have to hide or confine himself. Ken was surprised at this information because, while his freedom has always been important to him, he did not think it would interfere with being famous or successful. Ken's subconscious mind was doing everything it could to keep him from being popular because it did not want him to lose his freedom. By becoming conscious of his subconscious, Ken was able to understand his old program and change it. By understanding what freedom really meant to him, Ken now knows it is safe for him to become popular without loosing his freedom. By exploring the dimension of lucid dreaming, Ken was able to become conscious of the hidden subconscious programs affecting his success. An excellent way to explore the dimension of lucid dreaming is to set your alarm clock for half an hour earlier than you normally get up in the morning. Have the type of clock with a snooze alarm that goes off every ten minutes. When the alarm goes off it does not mean you are going to get up. When the alarm goes off ask your question, press the snooze alarm and fall back to sleep. You are going to start dreaming and getting answers. Your subconscious mind will tell you stories so you can start understanding some of your thoughts or reasons keeping you from having what you want. Let ten minutes go by. The alarm clock will go off again. In this new wake sleep state you will have glimpses of what you were dreaming. Then ask the same question again and fall back to sleep. Continue to do this until your thirty minutes are up. As soon as you get up, either tape record or write down the information you received. Have a pad and pencil there to write down your dreams. You do not have to write down the complete dream, just write down the ideas and the main words. Within ten days to two weeks you should uncover any subconscious resistance to what you want to physically create. The more you practice lucid dreaming, the easier it becomes. Keep asking the same question until you get a clear answer, and then ask another question. Pretty soon you will be able to check in and ask your Higher Self questions at different times and places to be sure your subconscious mind fully supports your conscious mind and what you would like to create. This is one of the most important exercises one can ever do. It allows you to get an understanding of your life.
