Lucid Dreaming/Induction Techniques

Lucid Dreaming/Induction Techniques
This page describes a number of lucid dream induction techniques. It is recommended that you be able to recall at least one dream per night in order to maximize the effectiveness of these methods. Preliminary Knowledge[edit] Certain elements are common to many of the lucidity-inducing techniques discussed later in this chapter. Sleep Interruption[edit] An element shared by many of the techniques is sleep interruption. Sleep interruption is a natural part of the MILD technique (described below) which trains you to arise immediately after your dreams end. Sleep Continuity[edit] If you have trouble initially falling asleep, avoid drinking water for about an hour before going to bed. If you still have difficulty getting to sleep, try reading about lucid dreaming just before going to sleep. Reality checks[edit] A reality check is a test you can perform to see if you're dreaming or awake. So here are some reality checks. Choose a few reality checks which you will do regularly. Techniques[edit]

The 10 Best Disney Songs You've Never Heard Anyone can whistle or sing their favorite Disney song, but for every ‘Under the Sea’ and ‘A Whole New World,’ there are dozens of orphaned tunes that never made it into their respective film. Too bad, since many of these unfortunate victims of time constraints or script rewrites are really catchy. However, many of these never-before-seen songs have surfaced online with their accompanying storyboards to let us sigh and wonder at what might have been. Take a look at 10 great Disney songs that were left on the cutting room floor. The creative team of 'Aladdin' had to make numerous changes to the film, including cutting many songs, characters and trimming the plot. 'Keep 'Em Guessing' 'Mulan' As Tony Bancroft reveals in this clip, this song was supposed to be Mushu's introduction to Mulan but ultimately was cut and replaced by spoken dialogue. 'I Can't Believe My Heart' 'Hercules' 'To Be King' 'The Lion King' Mufasa had a song? 'Proud of Your Boy' 'Aladdin' 'The Little Mermaid' 'Snuff Out the Light'

Living Inside Your Dreams: Astral Projection Dream Awareness, Lucid Dreaming and Astral Projection By Robert Zucker "Living Inside of Your Dreams" is a condensed version of two manuscripts developed during a college independent study in the late 1970s. The subjects of dreams, hermetics and cultural similarities were explored. Hundreds of pages were condensed from thousands of pages of notes. The University of Arizona department of Anthropology, Journalism, Judaic Studies, Psychology and Sociology provided sponsorship for three years to allow me to compile this massive information. Over the course of those years, I produced three manuscripts entitled, "Hermetics" (1976) and "The Magic of Your Mind" (1977). A reprint is reprinted on this web site. Email author: Robert Zucker Read more about this project Full bio Astral project while you sleep Every night while your body is asleep, your mind is making its way through a world of imagery and activity. The twilight of consciousness is the period in between falling alseep and being awake.

Lucid Dreaming is an Ancient Practice Introduction Lucid dreaming was taken very seriously by some cultures during ancient times. For example, in the 8th Century, TheTibetan Book of the Dead described of a form of Yoga designed to become conscious while dreaming. Yoga of the Dream State “Milam,” the Yoga of the Dream State is one of many different types of Yogas practiced by Tibetan Buddhists. The intention of this form of Yoga is to help to attain spiritual power and enlightenment or “awakening.” The word “Buddha” means “one who has awakened.” The Yoga of the Dream State or Tibetan dream Yoga is a philosophical practice that includes lucid dreaming. The goal of the Yoga of the Dream State is to control the power of the lucid dream and then complete tasks to enter into a higher level of consciousness. The Practice of Yoga of the Dream State A common element in Eastern and Western lucid dreaming preparedness is to compare your dreams to waking reality and understand what it feels like to be conscious.

Review of Galantamine: the Lucid Dreaming Pill | The Dream Studies Portal So you’re considering the red pill… Galantamine has emerged as THE lucid dreaming pill. This natural supplement has been used for centuries in China as a memory enhancer, and was even noted by the ancient Greeks for its powerful mind-inducing effects.

There’s a lot of hype about galantamine, so I want to cover the basics about how it works on the brain, the studies that have proven its effectiveness, and my personal recommendations for experimentation with this safe and natural supplement. I also want to be brutally honest about some of the mild psychological and physical side effects as well. Want to cut to the chase?

This is What Happens When You Give Thousands of Stickers to Thousands of Kids This December, in a surprisingly simple yet ridiculously amazing installation for the Queensland Gallery of Modern Ar, artist Yayoi Kusama constructed a large domestic environment, painting every wall, chair, table, piano, and household decoration a brilliant white, effectively serving as a giant white canvas. Over the course of two weeks, the museum’s smallest visitors were given thousands upon thousands of colored dot stickers and were invited to collaborate in the transformation of the space, turning the house into a vibrantly mottled explosion of color. How great is this? Given the opportunity my son could probably cover the entire piano alone in about fifteen minutes.

Lucid Dreaming/Introduction Disclaimer[edit] When attempting some of the techniques in this book, you may have some frightening experiences, such as falling sensations or sleep paralysis. Although the authors attest these are not dangerous, you should avoid techniques that create these sensations if you would prefer not to experience them. Your own expectations will have a significant effect on your dreams. Many of the techniques and “facts” presented on these pages are not backed up by scientific research. About dreaming[edit] The stages of sleep Each night, we spend about one and a half to two hours dreaming. There are five stages of sleep: four stages of NREM (Non-REM) sleep, also called SWS (Slow-Wave Sleep), and one stage of REM (Rapid Eye Movement) sleep. (NREM 1) The first stage is a transition state between wakefulness and sleep. After the REM state, you sometimes wake briefly. I never dream anyway. Actually, everyone has dreams — but some people simply don’t remember them. Why do we dream? For fun!
