Even babies dream and a dreaming baby has rapid eye movement that you can see and it is also shown by the changing expression on their faces.  It would be amazing to find out what a dreaming baby is really dreaming about.  Are they dreaming of food and warmth or of things to come in their lives?  They do need sleep though to develop their growing brains.

Your children's dreams may be a way of fulfilling a wish to do something like ride that elephant or they may be sorting out a problem they have had in the day in a very simple way or the dream  may be helping them bridge a fear or problem that they are finding hard to express.

Monsters are probably a very common bad dream children dream about and of course they always appear in the dark.  Your children's dream could mean that they cant face something like an emotion like jealousy of a new baby in the house or it could be something they are trying to escape from rather than face like problems at school.  Talk to your child the next morning but remember that they don't always remember their dreams.  Reassure them that dreams aren't real and cant hurt them.

We all need to sleep and that applies to children too.  When we sleep we dream, and who is to say that dreaming isn't one of the main reasons why we sleep.  Children spend more time than adults sleeping so not only do they need more time to rest their

Lucid dreaming put quite simply is knowing that you are dreaming something while you are dreaming it.  There are feelings of everything in your dream as being real even when you are aware that they are not.  It is some sort of an awakening that puts you into your dream while you are still dreaming it.  You can learn how to lucid dream and control what goes on in your dreams just by doing some simple exercises.

Lucid dreaming is often used by those who are looking for ways to ease anxiety, nightmares, or simply for those who want to go off into some fantasy world of their choosing when they go to sleep.

How fast you learn how to lucid dream will depend on whether it comes naturally, or whether you have to work on it,  how well you recall your dreams, and how well you have developed your critical thinking faculty.  Diligently practicing your mental exercises will also train your mind to get you in a state of awareness while you are still dreaming.

Dream recall exercises are recommended for beginners wanting to learn to lucid dream.  Upon waking up, do not do anything, try to remember your dream and write it down as you describe your dream.  I know I say it a lot in these posts but recording your dream is vital. Trying to recall your dreams is an important step in learning lucid dreaming since it conditions the mind.  Waking up while still dreaming and then going back to sleep with the dream in mind could help you get into a lucid dream mode.

The Unexplainable Store has great binaural beat music that can help you achieve lucid dreaming.  I love their mp3 downloads.
