I a a while ago I decided I wanted to learn lucid dreaming (or you can call it astral projection, phase experience, out of body experience, or whatever, does not matter). I read a ton of books which basically wave nonsense advice that did did I have no idea how to induc lucid dreams, but if you obsess over it enough, it might happen ". Sure, they tried to paint a pretty picture, but they did not actually give very useful, complete information.
You must be able to use this information to induce a lucid dream tonight, not in a couple of months. So how do you do it?
Well the first thing we have to discuss what is known as "the rollover signal". Without getting all technical, what this means basically is this: if you are relaxing into a lucid dream, you are likely to get a sudden, strong urge to move. This seems to be your body, you can not sleep paralysis, which it does so you can dream safely. If you give in to this urge and move, you will not enter sleep paralysis and you will not enter a dream. So do not move .
Okay, we covered what not to do ... but what do you need to actually do? It's called:
Mnemonics (not the conventional mnemonic induction technique)
Take a deck of cards and think of 13 separate images, one for each card. For example: There are different specific ways to go for this,
A - Flying white dove
2 - Donald Duck
3 - Sleeping Baby
4. Weights (for weightlifting)
5 - Pistol
6 - Backpack
7 - Swastika
8 - Snowman
9 - Giraffe
10 - Moon
Jack - Sword
Queen - Rose
King - Crown
These imagine a character from your favorite TV program, someone easy to picture in your mind Imagine that person in a "portrait" pose, looking straight at you.
Hold the image for 5 to 10 seconds. Pick a card from the deck. You zoom into the character & # 39; s right eye (the one on your left) and imagine a rose inside the eye. The eye is kind a trrowy place, but it You are basically be "placing" the cards in the character, from top to bottom, left to right. You are in a sense, writing the order of cards on his or her body.
Use whatever places you feel most comfortable with, such as "behind left shoulder", "right palm", "left cheek", "chest", "belly", "right side pocket", etc. etc. 4 places per person is enough If you want to memorize the whole deck of cards. Make the visualizations as vivid as possible. You want to memorize the whole deck of 52 cards but can not not You that # can #. # ll need to review several times so make sure you keep the deck in order, or write the order down.
There is just one more thing we need to cover before we finish things up.
Imagine Sensations (Energy)
You begin with slow, deliberate breathing. Try a 6 by 6 breath, which means you inhale for 6 seconds and exhale for 6 seconds. The important thing is not exact count, it 's to get a slow, deep and deliberate During the inhale, you imagine the sensations running up your body, from your toes to the crown of your head. What do I mean by "sensations "? Well, imagine the feeling of a hand stroking your body, or water, or any anything really. What you want is the feeling of touch, that & # 39; s all there is to it. Use your hand to stroke your body if you During the exhale, imagine that energy (the sensations) focusing on a specific spot in the body, such as your need to remember. Then can you imagine them focusing on a spot outside the body. Then repeat. If you are focusing on your hands, They should start tingling. This is normal. Just relax and continue.
Now let 's tie all of this together in a way that allows you to have a lucid dream (your first?) Tonight. The key is:
The Alarm
Set the alarm to ring every 20 minutes, one one you do not have to manually turn off, then when alarm wakes you up you start I do not have your eyes, but you need to reset the alarm, try to make sure it can be reset with small, You are not needing your whole arm or body to move. You 'll quickly enter sleep paralysis and from there a lucid dream. I find a cell phone works well, as it vibrates as well as ring. You This need technical talking about how to handle it in your hand or arm to keep it in your hand or when you are using a cell phone through the day, and when you feel the phone & # 39; s vibration you always stop to think "Is t his a dream? "and raise your level of awareness. You can even set the alarm to ring regularly through the day for this.
It's hard to wake up, make you miss the way you feel tired. You want to to see the best dreams happen during REM sleep, which is scarce in the first few hours after you go to bed. This is known as "wake back to bed". Wake up about 2 hours before you usually do, stay awake for a few minutes (30 minutes is good) and then try this, it will give you the best results.
