Lucid Dreaming: Understanding the Risks and Benefits
The ability to control one's dreams or for the dreamer to be aware that he or she is dreaming. This process, called lucid dreaming, has some potential risks as well as many fascinating benefits. However, many people are hesitant to try it initially for fear of the potential dangers. This article aims to clarify these concerns by exploring both the risks and benefits of lucid dreaming.
The Benefits of Lucid Dreaming
Lucid dreaming allows a person to take control of their dream world, helping them overcome their fears and eliminate nightmares. This technique is particularly useful for mental health. By taking control of their dreams, individuals can face challenging scenarios in a controlled environment, which can help reduce anxiety and increase self-confidence.
Addressing Common Concerns
Physical Harm in Dreams Lucid dreaming is fundamentally safe. In a lucid dream, everything is a creation of your mind. Therefore, nothing in the dream can physically harm you. Despite the vividness and realness of the dream experience, it remains entirely within your mental landscape, posing no physical danger.
Mental Health Risks Concerns about developing PTSD or other mental illnesses from lucid dreaming are unfounded. As soon as you wake up, it's clear that the events experienced in the dream were not real. On the contrary, lucid dreaming is often seen as a therapeutic tool for conditions like PTSD, as it allows individuals to reframe and manage their thoughts.
Potential Risks of Lucid Dreaming
While generally safe, lucid dreaming does come with a few risks as well:
Mixing Dream Memories with Reality Long-term lucid dreamers might occasionally confuse dream memories with real ones, creating false memories. This issue is rare and preventable by maintaining a dream journal and avoiding lucid dreaming about real-life people or places too frequently.
Escapism Using lucid dreaming to escape reality can be problematic if it interferes with your daily life. While it is sometimes beneficial to escape and relieve the stress of reality, relying on lucid dreaming for happiness can hinder personal growth and productivity.
Feeling Tired After Lucid Dreaming Some people report feeling tired after lucid dreaming. This tiredness is not due to the dreams themselves but often results from not getting enough sleep or using techniques that disrupt sleep patterns. Taking breaks and ensuring adequate sleep can prevent this.
Mental Exhaustion Lucid dreaming can be mentally taxing if practiced excessively without breaks. It’s important to balance lucid dreaming with regular sleep to avoid mental fatigue.
Lucid dreaming is safe and beneficial if done with caution. It has many benefits, such as overcoming fear and improving mental health, and minimal risks. There are many resources and tutorials available for those interested in trying it.

Heartfulness Magazine - June 2024 (Volume 9, Issue 6)
Story of creation.
1. "Since the Ogdoad of Hermopolis is an Ogdoad,
there are 8 deities, in 4 pairs of males and
2. females. Their functions may be described as
chaos and generation, eternity, darkness, and
moisture, or as invisibility, endlessness,
obscurity, and water, all perhaps in a primeval
watery chaos. The pairs are spelled out in
English as Amun and Amaunet, Heh (Huh) and
Hehet, Kek and Keket, and Nun and Naunet,
although spelling varies. Sometimes in later
representations, the male (the first in each pair)
is depicted as frog-headed and the female with a
snake head, all generated spontaneously from
the Nile mud.
The Egyptian cosmogony that is based on the
Ogdoad of Heliopolis evolved over time. One
version is that from the original chaos, the 4 sets
of gods were motivated to get together to
produce the sun or a primordial mass (in
Hermopolis, of course). This may have produced
to a cosmic egg (sometimes a goose egg laid by
the Great Cackler or an ibis egg from Thoth)
from which hatched the sun god. Amun or Thoth
is credited with stirring up the old gods to create
the primordial mass. The Ogdoad then fades into
the background or dies and lives in the
3. Underworld. Even though the deities are, in a
sense, retired, they still make the sun rise and the
Nile flow. In another version, a lotus emerged
from the waters, opened up, and revealed, again,
the sun god. Thus the sun god is an essential
feature for the creation of a world with living
creatures.
The Ogdoad of Hermopolis provides a
cosmogony without a tale of divine inter-
generational fighting (theomachy)." - Ogdoad
of Hermopolis
The Ogdoad is the oldest known story of
creation and has origins linking back to the
creation stories from the Golden Age of
Atlantis and taught to the "new world" after
its destruction. The story is the basis of
Hermeticism, as it is said to go back to the
days of story telling and is said to be the first
written account of the creation of not just
humanity, the sun, moon, stars, galaxy or the
universe. Every God and Goddess in every
creation story since the Ogdoad and its
4. "updated version, the Egyptian Ennead, can
be traced, linked and identified in this first
account of creation. This is the story of
how all things came to be told by the One
known as the ageless and timeless one. The
One who has lived since the moment of
creation. He is known as Amun, Shu, Djehuti,
Thoth...
5. "“Thoth and Maat record your moments every
day.”
"Thoth is thought. He is reason. He is the
archetype of human intellect, of mind, of
curiosity, of logic, of rationale, imagination
andunderstanding. Thoth is the source and the
repository of learning, knowledge and training.
Thoth is science. Thoth is the genius of the Powt
Nature. He is the mind of the soul/self. Thoth is
known as The Self-created One. He was already
present in the beginning of creation, along with
6. Maat, the reality of Reality. Thoth is the ability
of consciousness to learn and thus to know
reality. He is the capacity of the human intellect
to observe and to measure the reality around us
and within us. Thoth and Maat stand on either
side of Re in the journey of the sunship.
Thoth is more than the scribe of the Natures and
the Nature of scribes. Thoth is speech. He is
writing. He is everything that is made possible
by human communication and by the
permanence of the written word. Egyptians
understood that the written word is the power of
civilization." - Thoth In Your Mind
""Thoth is the name given by the Greeks to the
Egyptian god Djeheuty. Thoth was the god of
wisdom, inventor of writing, patron of scribes
and the divine mediator. He is most often
represented as a man with the head of an ibis,
holding a scribal palette and reed pen. He could
also be shown completely as an ibis or a
baboon...
Thoth is a reliable mediator and peacemaker.
7. When the goddess Tefnut had a dispute with her
father Re and absconded to Nubia, it was Thoth
that the sun-god sent to reason with her and
bring her home. Thoth was also present at the
judgement of the dead. He would question the
deceased before recording the result of the
weighing of the deceased's heart. If the result
was favorable Thoth would declare the deceased
as a righteous individual who was worthy of a
blessed afterlife.
Thoth was also a lunar deity, and whatever form
he took he wore a lunar crescent on his head.
Some Egyptologists think that the Egyptians
identified the crescent moon with the curved
beak of the ibis. It is also suggested that the
Egyptians observed that baboon was a nocturnal
(i.e. lunar) animal who would greet the sun with
chattering noises each morning.
As he was messenger of the gods Thoth was
identified by the Greeks with their own god
Hermes. For this reason Thoth's center of
worship is still known to us today as
Hermopolis." - Encyclopedia Mythica
8. So, who exactly is Hermes?
"Hermes was the herald, or messenger, of the
gods to humans... A patron of boundaries and
the travelers who cross them." - Wikipedia
"The history of His life is described in
the Emerald Tablets of Thoth-the-Atlantean,
which were discovered by M.Doreal in the
pyramids of South America. In the Tablets
9. Thoth tells about Atlantis — an archipelago
consisting of two large islands which existed in
the Atlantic Ocean a long time ago, also about
the highly developed civilization of the
Atlanteans. The most important point about this
civilization is that it possessed a true religious-
philosophical knowledge, which allowed many
people to advance quickly in their development
to the Divine level and accomplish thus their
personal human evolution.
When the destruction of Atlantis happened (two
islands submerged into the ocean one after
another according to the Divine Will), Thoth-
the-Atlantean moved to Egypt (Khem) with a
group of other Divine Atlanteans. Thanks to this,
the higher spiritual knowledge of Atlantis was
brought to Egypt and to other countries.
In the Egyptian mythology, Thoth is worshipped
as a God of wisdom and writing, as a patron of
sciences, scribes, holy scriptures, as a creator of
the calendar. According to Plato, He revealed to
the Egyptians counting, geometry, astronomy,
and writing.
10. Hermes Trismegistus is the name of Thoth in
His next incarnation in Egypt." - God Teaches
"We interpret Hermes as a figure associated with
wisdom transmitted to man from divine sources.
Historically, the name Hermes referred to
several different personages:
The Greek god Hermes, son of Zeus and
Maia messenger for Zeus god of commerce
and the market; patron of traders, merchants
and thieves the Divine Herald who leads
dead souls down to the underworld inventor
of the lyre, the pipes, the musical scale,
astronomy, weights and measures, boxing,
gymnastics and the care of olive trees
Thoth, Egyptian god of wisdom and science
the moon-god, represented in
ancient paintings as ibis-headed with the
disc and crescent of the moon the god of
letters and the recording of time
The Roman god, Mercury, messenger of the
gods messenger for Zeus had winged
sandals, a winged hat, and a golden
11. Caduceus, or magic wand, with entwined
snakes and rising wings believed to possess
magical powers over sleep and dreams
The mystic figure, Thrice-Great Hemes, who
may have represented three different teachers in
the Illuminist tradition described as a very
powerful ancient mage, not a god in his writings,
collectively called the Corpus Hermeticum,
Hermes describes himself as "Philosopher,
Priest, and King" wrote the Emerald Tablet and
taught Pythagoras, among other exploits.
In his major work, The Sufis, Idries Shah states
that "both the Sufis and the alchemists claim
Hermes as an initiate of their craft." Many Sufis,
including al-Farabi, Geber, and Roger Bacon,
among others, were described as "Hermetic" or
"Illuminist."
Hermeticism is one of the many streams of
transmission of the Illuminist Tradition, the
inner, secret teaching concealed within every
genuine religion and philosophy." - The Light
Party
12. Hermes in Greek "Mythology"
"Hermes, the herald of the Olympian gods, is the
son of Zeus and the nymph Maia, daughter of
Atlas and one of the Pleiades. Hermes is the god
of shepherds, land travel, merchants, weights
and measures, oratory, literature, athletics and
13. thieves, and known for his cunning and
shrewdness. Most importantly, he is the
messenger of the gods. Besides that he was also
a minor patron of poetry. He was worshiped
throughout Greece -- especially in Arcadia --
and festivals in his honor were called Hermoea.
it
was his duty to guide the souls of the dead down
to the underworld, which is known as a
psychopomp. He was also closely connected
with bringing dreams to mortals. Hermes is
usually depicted with a broad-brimmed hat or a
winged cap, winged sandals and the heralds staff
(kerykeion in Greek, or Caduceus in Latin). It
was often shown as a shaft with two white
ribbons, although later they were represented by
serpents intertwined in a figure of eight shape,
and the shaft often had wings attached. The
clothes he donned were usually that of a traveler,
or that of a workman or shepherd.
Known for his swiftness and athleticism,
Hermes was given credit for inventing foot-
racing and boxing. At Olympia a statue of him
stood at the entrance to the stadium and his
14. statues where in every gymnasium throughout
Greece. Apart from herms, Hermes was a
popular subject for artists. Both painted pottery
and statuary show him in various forms, but the
most fashionable depicted him as a good-
looking young man, with an athletic body, and
winged sandals and his heralds staff. His Roman
counterpart Mercury inherited his attributes, and
there are many Roman copies of Greek artistic
creations of Hermes.
The Greek post office has Hermes as its
symbol." - Encyclopedia Mythica
Here's the story...
The Ogdoad
15. "Hermopolis means “the city of Hermes” in
Greek. The Greeks gave it that name because it
was a major cult centre of the god Thoth who
they associated with their god Hermes, but the
Egyptians knew it as
The Ogdoad was a system of eight deities, four
gods and their consorts (the number four was
considered to represent completeness).
16. Each pair represented the male and female
aspects of the four creative powers or
sources. Nun and Naunet represented
the primeval waters; Heh and
Hauhet represented eternity;Kuk and
Kauket represented darkness; and Amun and
Amaunet represented air (or that which is
hidden). The gods were all depicted with frog´s
heads, while the goddesses had the heads of
serpents. Only Amun went on to be considered
as more than a primeval force. While Nun was
still referred to often, it was only as the
representation of the waters of Chaos.
These eight elements interacted causing an
explosion (the Big Bang?) and the burst of
energy which was released caused the primeval
mound (located at Hermopolis, but originally
known as the “Isle of Flame”) to rise from the
water. It was thought. The gods and goddesses
of the Ogdoad then ruled the earth during the
Golden Age. When they died they took up
residence in the “Duat” (or “Tuat”…..).
, that
the inundation would come every year and
17. caused the sun to rise each day.
There are four central creation myths.
The first held that the world was born from a
cosmic egg created by the gods of the Ogdoad. It
was invisible as the sun had not yet been born.
When it opened, it revealed the “bird of light”,
an aspect of the sun god Re (occasionally the
egg was said to contain air, associated with
Amun and Amaunet). Alternatively, the egg was
laid by a celestial goose called the Gengen Wer
(the primeval goose who was associated with
Amun who took this form as a creator god).
When Re hatched from the egg, he created the
world and everything in it.
The second version says that the egg was laid by
an (a bird sacred to Thoth). However, the
cult of Thoth developed after the original myth
of the Ogdoad, so it is probable that this story
was an attempt to incorporate Thoth into the pre-
existing Ogdoad
18. The third myth states that a lotus flower
emerged from the waters of “the Sea of the Two
Knives” (a lake near to the temple in
Hermopolis). The petals opened to reveal Re
who then created the world.
The fourth myth is similar, except it held that a
scarab beetle (Khepri – the symbol of the rising
sun) was revealed when the petals opened. The
scarab transformed into a young boy whose tears
formed the first human beings. The boy is
generally considered to be Nefertem (“young
Atum”) but once Re and Horus had been merged
as Re-Horakhty the boy was sometimes
considered to be the
The Hermopolitans claimed that their theory of
creation was older than any other in Egypt and
that it was the Ogdoad who gave birth to both
the sun and Atum. It is also interesting to note
the similarity between the Ogdoad and the
description of the creation of the world found in
the Pentateuch (the first five books of the Old
Testament)." - Temple of Alexandria
