Dream like Batman

We all must dream because we all must sleep, but did you know you could make your dreams more useful then say a nightmare, daytime fantasy, or another type of fantasy;) Batman does and you can to just read on......

A lucid dream for the Dark Knight.

1. Learn to Lucid Dream. The first thing you need to do is learn to lucid dream and although it is not common some people, like Batman with training, can do it routinely every night. Wait, what is lucid dreaming? Lucid dreaming is when you control the dream and since you can control the dream you can basically do anything like problem solve real life problems, avoid a nightmare, fight the Joker, or have a very enticing night out with Catwoman. Whatever you want to do you can do it in a Lucid Dream.
2. Keep a dream journal. This step is very important on the road to lucid dreaming. A dream journal will help you recognize when you are awake and when you are dreaming. By jotting your dreams in your dream journal you will become familiar with the elements that characterize your dreams and you will improve your dream recall. By recognizing that you are dreaming in a dream things become a lot easier to control and the awareness part is about 90% if not more of the lucid dreaming experience.
3. Follow a sleep schedule. There are many benefits to having a sleep schedule, I have covered most in my previous post Sleep Like Batman, but specifically beneficial to lucid dreaming because your dreams will become predictable. Since you know that you are going to sleep or will at least fall to sleep soon will give you time to prepare for lucid dreaming....you could even recite a mantra "I will Lucid Dream tonight". The fact that your dreams are predictable will make it more likely that you will become aware that you are dreaming in your dream. Hopefully lucid dreaming will become a regular part of your sleep schedule like it is for Batman.

The Boy Wonder must be kept in check!

Sleep like Batman

Yes he even has a certain way he sleeps.

Batman sleeping.

1. There's a certain way you sleep and most people don't realize this, it's called REM(Rapid Eye Movement) sleep. This way works as a process or sleep cycle every human goes through every session takes about 1 hour and 30 minutes. So you'd want to schedule you sleep time in 1 hour and 30 minute periods.

Ex. So let's say Batman just came back at 3a.m. from rescuing the city from Penguin or The Joker or whoever, what he'd do is fix himself up and everything(take a shower maybe) so that would be 30 minutes. He'd set his alarm for 11a.m.(7 hours and 30 minutes, 1 hour and 30 minutes times 5) and wake up and do what Batman(or Bruce Wayne) does.
2. Always get AT LEAST 6 HOURS of sleep anything less is unhealthy. Remember 1 hour and 30 minutes is how much time it takes for one process. Construct  a sleep pattern that includes at least 4 sessions(6 hours) everyday. Goodnight and good luck.
