Meaning of a Dream

Brainwave entrainment is a scientifically proven way of inducing altered states of awareness. It facilitates deep states of meditation, which many lucid dreamers agree is the gateway to the dream world. Best of all, it requires little mental preparation - only your willingess to relax as you drift off to sleep at night.

This section examines the most well-known forms of brainwave entrainment, such as isochronic tones and binaural beats, and what scientific studies back them. I'll also recommend the best times to listen to entrainment and what lucid dreaming techniques to combine them with (if any) to maximize your chances of success.

While brainwave entrainment isn't essential to becoming a lucid dreamer, the meditation it creates can rapidly accelerate your development of altered states.
