Writing to his village, Schwarzenegger pointed out how people who struggle with insomnia, anxiety, and a loss of creativity, can alter their situation by practicing lucid dreaming. He explained how these lucid dreams enable the dreamer to have an awareness of the dream, as well as have the authority to control it. He first questioned, “What if you could also control your thoughts while you sleep?” Then Arnie revealed the nuances behind it. “The hard part is learning to lucid dream. A recent study compared different techniques and found that rehearsing the dream the day before (called mnemonic induction of lucid dreams) and then telling yourself to have the dream at night can be effective at helping you experience lucid dreams,” he penned.
Furthermore, he also stated how it is not necessary to lucid Dream on a daily basis. According to the seven-time Mr. Olympia winner, “People who practice dream recall the following morning or can fall asleep quickly are more likely to have lucid dreams.” Moreover, Schwarzenegger suggested how journaling and taking deep breaths or having a sleep formula can also contribute to better sleep.
Building on his mission to provide fitness tips to people, Arnie had began 2024 by offering a free resource for those who were looking to get in shape.
