In relation to this phenomenon, Greek philosopher Aristotle observed: "often when one is asleep, there is something in consciousness which declares that what then presents itself is but a dream".[1] One of the earliest references to personal experiences with lucid dreaming was by Marie-Jean-Léon, Marquis d'Hervey de Saint Denys.[2] Skeptics of the phenomenon suggest that it is not a state of sleep, but of brief wakefulness.[15][16] Others point out that there is no way to prove the truth of lucid dreaming other than to ask the dreamer.[17] Lucid dreaming has been researched scientifically, with participants performing pre-determined physical responses while experiencing a lucid dream.[18][19] Scientific history[edit] Philosopher Norman Malcolm's 1959 text Dreaming[22] had argued against the possibility of checking the accuracy of dream reports.

Hearne's results were not widely distributed. Initiation[edit] REM sleep. LUCID DREAMING. Lucid Dreaming Community & Resource. Hypnagogia and Hypnopompia | The Dream Studies Portal. Hypnagogia is the imagery, sounds and strange bodily feelings that are felt at “sleep onset.” This is a simplification though, as researchers have noted hypnagogic imagery in the lab at periods of quiet wakefulness as well as stage 1 sleep.

Others have correlated hypnagogia with pre-sleep alpha waves and also REM intrusion into sleep onset. The truth is that the wake-sleep transition is still not understood. And neither are its trippy visuals. whispy lights, multi-dimentional geometric objects, or a sudden image like a stranger’s face Few people remember hypnagogic imagery. Strange noises, voices and rushing sounds are typical, as well as weird mechanistic sounds like beeps and boops. Some hear music — I personally have had lucid hypnagogic orchestras from time to time, with the ability to listen passively or focus on a particular instrument to induce a solo.

Entoptica - by Ryan Hurd, 2005, acrylic: inspired by my hypnagogic imagery Some people are haunted by the hypnagogic imagery. 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. To better understand these techniques, these common components will be discussed first. 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. Techniques[edit] Carlos Castaneda. Carlos Castaneda (birthdate unclear – died April 27, 1998),[1] was an American author with a Ph.D. in anthropology. Early life[edit] He moved to the United States in the early 1950s and became a naturalized citizen in 1957. Castaneda was educated at UCLA (B.A. 1962; Ph.D. 1973).[2] Career[edit] Castaneda's first three books – The Teachings of Don Juan: A Yaqui Way of Knowledge; A Separate Reality; and Journey to Ixtlan – were written while he was an anthropology student at the University of California, Los Angeles (UCLA). In 1974 his fourth book, Tales of Power, was published and chronicled the end of his apprenticeship under the tutelage of Matus.

In his books, Castaneda narrates in first person the events leading to and following after his meeting Matus, a half-Yaqui "Man of Knowledge", in 1960. In all,12 books by Castaneda were published, two posthumously. "To ask me to verify my life by giving you my statistics... is like using science to validate sorcery. The interviewer wrote: [edit] How to have Lucid Dreams: How, How Often, and How Cool! Key Fact: Lucid dreams are more enjoyable than ordinary dreams and have a more positive emotional tone. If you're a particularly sad soul, and would take absolutely no pleasure from flying round the world, meeting famous people, fighting dinosaurs, or walking on water, oh yes - and sex, then there is still hope for you!

Another reason for wanting to experience lucid dreams is because on the whole, the predominant emotion exprienced is positive. Regular dreams, however, are not particularly pleasant. Have you ever had dreams that you were falling? Or being chased or attacked? The predominant emotions of most regular dreams are anxiety, fear, anger, and frustration. The research scientists who catalogue REM dreams (REM dreams = standard dreams) generally find that around two thirds of them are more unpleasant than pleasant. Compare this with lucid dreams. How do YOU spend one third of your life? In the dark, swimming in negative emotion? Oh dear! 12 Free Software Programs for Lucid Dreaming: Train Your Mind To Have a Lucid Dream!
