The name “Lilith” comes from Hebrew language meaning “night monster”.

According to Jewish mythology, Lilith is Adam’s first wife. So apparently God created Adam and Lilith at the same time. But what happened is they had a fight over being on top while having intercourse. Lilith gave an argument about how they both were equal and created at the same time. But adam wanted someone submissive and someone who follows his orders. So when adam refused to compromise ,Lilith called out God’s name and left the garden of eden. God sent angels to her to bring her back but she went to the Red sea and didn’t want to come back. She was then called as a demoness.

So in modern times, some people associate Lilith as a strong woman who not only sees herself as man’s equal but refuses to accept anything other than equality.
Some people even argue that the half serpent and half women who tempted Eve into eating the apple was Lilith herself and she wanted Eve to realize the same truth and free herself.
Lilith’s strength of character and commitment to self is inspiring. She accepts being thrown out of the garden than being a slave is someone else’s hands. According to some feminist leaders, Lilith is a role model for sexual and personal independence. Lilith has become such a potent symbol that the magazine ‘Lilith’ was named after her.
Ps- she’s also known by Queen of hell or Madame Satan.

So lucid dreaming is basically a dream during which a dreamer, who’s dreaming is aware that he’s dreaming.

Dreams feel real when we’re dreaming right, but then we wake up and we realise that oh it was just a dream. But some of us can actually be aware of the fact that we’re dreaming while they’re in a dream.

No only this, they can even have partial/ full control over their dream’s narrative.

We all have seen ‘inception’ right. In which not only the character was able to control his own dream but of others as well.

So like most other dreams,lucid dreaming also occurs during our REM (rapid eye movement). For some people it happens spontaneously, others train themselves to experience it.

It’s hard to say how many people actually experience lucid dreaming, but it surely seems like a fascinating thing right? Like being able to explore our inner self and experience a whole new different world that too based on our own imagination and the way we like it.

Some people like to do it for fun and it’s like a creative thing for them, a sense of virtual reality basically.

Besides this lucid dreaming has some practical applications too :

1.Lucid dreaming therapy : it’s basically learning how to lucid dream to stop nightmares from occuring. When a person having a nightmare achieve the lucid state, he can have control over him and his nightmare itself.

2. Lucid dreaming also can help people with phobias. It like an exposure therapy where you expose yourself to your fear a bit by bit and then finally win over it.

Lucid dreaming can be achieved by various techniques.

1) Reality check : In this , the person constantly asks himself “am i dreaming” even during the day. And he also tried to put his hand through a wall, in real the wall would obviously be solid and he won’t be able to do anything but when he’s in dream he’ll be able to pass his hand through the wall, hence knowing the fact that he’s in a dream.

2) Another method is trying to read a text. When you read a text you’ll be able to read it in reality but when you try to read it in a dream , you won’t be able to since the letters in your dreams keep shifting.

3) Waking back to bed technique : In this the person puts an alarm for 5–6 hours after he goes to sleep. When the alarm goes off, he wakes up and sits for a while and sleeps again. This will instantly put him in REM sleep and he’ll have more chances at having a lucid experience.

4) Mnemonic induction technique : This one is a little hard to master. In this , the person constantly repeats to himself before going to bed “today I’m gonna have control over my dreams” thus programming himself to do so.

Studies show that people who do not have much problems about recalling their ordinary dreams do not have much trouble practicing lucid.

Lucid dreaming might be fun to do but it’s usually not adviced to practice in excess since it requires alot of focus and effort and that means you won’t be able to get proper rest.

Also people with mental health conditions like schizophrenia shouldn’t try lucid dreaming since they won’t be able to defer their dreams from the reality. And it might even worsen their condition.
