A fast way to move around a lucid dream and travel to places quickly is through lucid portals. These are gaps, holes or doors that take you instantly to where you want to go. Here’s what you need to know.

A lucid portal is something in a dream that could transport you from one place to another. (Or one time to another.) It’s something you can step through or into, like a mirror or a doorway.

They can also be in other forms, like a slide, tube, trapdoor, hole in the ground, misty aura, etc. They can come in many forms, but the key is that they normally take you somewhere very quickly.

Lucid Portals In Dreams

Just as the dream world acts as a gateway into another world of our consciousness, dreams become secret passageways.

Others hold the belief that this world has special sites where you can access spiritual realms through some magical portals.

It is as if one goes through the doorway of another reality or world when one enters a spiritual portal within a dream. In such a dream scenario, you may encounter enlightened creatures, visit unusual places, or even explore time.

We usually remember these experiences as if they had been very real because they are so palpable in our minds.

Many people from various cultural backgrounds have described these as dream portals.

The ancient Egyptians felt that dreams were a channel to communicate with deities, while the temples in Greece and Rome were sacred places where they attempted to get through to Morpheus, the god of dreams.

Dreams don’t make any connection between spiritual portals and a particular religion.

Such events are usually unique experiences for each individual. Others view them as an expression of inner thoughts and feelings, although some consider them a means to peek into a world beyond the divine.

It may seem that investigating these mental gates is a little bit of an adventure for you. You may have questions answered, be encouraged, and even be motivated. 

It helps us understand the fact that night dreams are not simply random thoughts occurring while sleeping and those gates that take us to a more deeper and mysterious dimension.

Therefore, whenever you experience a strong dream in the future, bear in mind that it could be a doorway leading you into a realm you should explore beyond all boundaries—the world of your own imagination.

Portal Dream Meaning

it is a place where the mind has its own magical playground in the form of lucid dreams, when you know that it’s all just a dream but still controls everything that happens there.

In some cases, there is a phenomenon that people refer to as “dream portals,” and these resemble gateways into different worlds or spheres of being.

These lucid dream portals have a very interesting meaning. When sleeping with a lucid dream, you become able to be in a different world, period, or place.

Your imagination’s limits are endless. In most cases, these dreams are a sign of an urge to seek adventure or to uncover the hidden.

Others believe that lucid dream portals are an indication of preparedness to face life’s problems or to take significant steps in life.

This can then be perceived in many ways, such as a new opportunity, a way towards self-revelation, or simply as a reminder we have a say in our own destiny.

Some people also see such dreams as manifestations of the limitless capacity of the human mind.

They make it known to us that the unconscious can take us on unbelievable trips beyond the bounds of the real world.

However, the significance of a lucid dream portal has personal and individual attributes. It can be an expression of your emotions, experiences, or desires.

Understanding these dreams is like solving a puzzle, which gives glimpses of what goes on inside your mind.

Hence, go ahead and take this trip and find out what it means for you! It may just be true. Just open up your mind, and you will know.

Spiritual Portals In Dreams

Dreams are a mysterious place where the subconscious mind has created tales and symbols for ages now. Some of the dreamscapes are perceived by certain individuals as “spiritual portals”.

There is an intense feeling of mysticism associated with such dreams, as they have some deeper meaning linking them with the spiritual realm.

The Experience Of Spiritual Portals

For those who have dreamed about spiritual portals, they recount feelings of awe and amazement.

Such portals take different forms, like gateways, tunnels, and others, which are usually very magical.

Moving through these leads to coming across spiritual entities like gods, departed ones, and sacred realms.

In the company of such entities, the dreamer can feel a peace profound, the love profound, and the guidance profound.

Seeking Meaning And Purpose

The interpretation of a spiritual portal dream differs from one person to another. Others regard them as yearnings for spiritual development and association.

These dreams give room for interrogations on the afterlife, the existence of other dimensions, and one’s role.

Such movies can be a comfort to people grieving and looking for answers about life.

Awakening And Transformation

Spiritual portal dreams are springboards of change. These could be signs of a spiritual awakening that will urge the dreamer to go on a journey toward self-actualization.

The dreamer might be rejuvenated with a purposeful meaning and an inner bond to his or her spiritual convictions.

Where Can You Find A Lucid Portal?

They can be found anywhere, but normally your mind will place them in places that normally have entrances or doorways you can walk through.

A lucid dream portal

This is actually the perfect opportunity to test your lucid portals. Find a long street with many houses on either side and start opening all the doors to see what’s on the other side.

You’ll soon find out that it’s not just someone’s house; it could be another world. This is because your mind creates things through doors in dreams that don’t always mix with the rest of the dream.

How To Find And Enter A Lucid Portal

Here’s how you can find dream portals easily and use them to travel through a dream world. Remember that the key to dream portals is expectation and belief. If you truly believe a portal will take you somewhere, it will!

 

1: Decide where you want to go

The first step to using dream portals is to think about where you want to go. Try to come up with a clear picture of the location in your mind before you even try to find a portal. Think about whether you’ve been there before or what will be there when you arrive.

2: Find a natural doorway or opening

In dreams, there are almost always things that mirror waking life. These things can be easily used as portals because dream physics is not like real-world physics.

Lucid doorway

You could open a tiny door to a phone booth and find another planet on the other side of the door. Here are some examples of natural openings or doors:

  • Door or door frames
  • Trapdoors in the ground
  • Shower curtains or drapes in houses
  • Any window in any building
  • You could draw a trapdoor with chalk on the ground

3: Expect to travel through it

Look at the doorway you’ve found or created, and tell yourself, ‘I’m going to travel through this portal and arrive on the other side in my location (whatever place you want to go to). Notice that you don’t have to decide where to go! You can just let the dream surprise you!

4: Explore the destination

When you enter the location on the other side, just explore it naturally and don’t panic! It might not be exactly what you expected, but it should be pretty close! If you just let the dream surprise you, then explore it! You could be anywhere!

Focus On What You Want To Be There

Sometimes, just walking through, you’ll find random things, and this can be good if you’re just looking to discover and explore the dream, but if you’ve got specific lucid goals and you’re trying to get something done in this lucid time, it’s important to focus as you enter the lucid portal.

Some useful tips

To move around the dream using portals, it’s important to have your reality checks DOWN. You need to be lucid and ‘awake’ so that you’re able to expect to move through the portal. Here are some useful tools:

 

  • Before you go to sleep, set your goal as ‘find a lucid dreaming portal and go through it’. It’s easy to enter a lucid dream and completely forget what you wanted to do, and just do random things
  • Write in your journal what happened and whether or not you entered the portal successfully
  • If you want to make the lucid dream more stable, try listening to binaural beats or taking a lucid supplement
