Truly mastering lucid dreaming - Blog | Lucidipedia.com The last few days I have been focussing on recalibrating my sleep schedule: prioritizing healthy sleep. I have also attempted to implement the first stepping stones towards proper dream recall. I aimed at noting down dreams throughout the night and to journal them in full length the same evening. The first day of training, I had an unintended WILD, demonstrating the power of auto-suggestion of even starting (and thinking about) inducing lucid dreams. I should not celebrate too early though. A truly skilled lucid dreamer is able to have lucid dreams on command. I have now set my eyes on reclaiming that same skill level, but this time in context of an everyday life, including work, meeting friends and family. Something that I still need to perfect in the upcoming days before progressing to new exercises, is the principle of noting down dreams throughout the night. This requires the incorporation of a new guiding principle. Okay, now adding a new one: Exciting. Join in yourself!
Is There Life After Death? | Does Heaven Exist? | What Happens When You Die? In a new exercise by a California organization that studies lucid dreaming, volunteers have been conditioned to dream near-death experiences, including the classic scenario of flying toward a light at the end of a tunnel. The researchers say their experiment demonstrates that these heavenly visions must be products of the human mind rather than supernatural phenomena. In the sleep experiment at the Out-Of-Body Experience Research Center in Los Angeles, four groups of 10 to 20 volunteers were trained to perform a series of mental steps upon awakening during the night that might lead them to have out-of-body experiences. If able to "separate" from their bodies, they were then conditioned to try dreaming about floating through a tunnel toward a bright light. Eighteen of the volunteers said they were able to dream such an experience. More than 8 million Americans have had a near-death experience, and they most often occur during states of anesthesia-induced sleep, according to the center.

Infinite Minds - Lucid Dreaming - How to Lucid Dream: Wake Induced Lucid Dreams (WILD) Wake Induced Lucid Dreams, or WILDs as they are more commonly known, are the holy grail of lucid dreamers. Variations on the WILD technique have been used by Tibetan monks for over a thousand years. It is one of the most powerful lucid dreaming techniques, and mastering it will allow you to have lucid dreams on demand. In short a WILD is exactly what it sounds like; a lucid dream you induce directly from your normal waking state. Since you do not need to become unconscious at any stage you are in complete conscious control of the process, and there is no need to rely on your subconscious to prompt or trigger you into lucidity. In truth ‘WILD’ is more of a category of lucid dreaming technique rather than one specific approach, WILD techniques can be so wide and varied that they could never be covered in a single article. There are however a few common elements, I have included these into a guide for a basic WILD technique: Step 1 – When Should I Try to WILD? Step 2 – Relax & Set the Scene
★ Lucid Dream ★ Binaural Beats + Isochronic Tones (ASMR) To stay asleep, perchance to keep dreaming « Psycurious I know I’ve skipped a step – how to achieve lucidity in your dreams – but we’re just going to have to come back to this, as there seems to be more interest in how to stay IN the dream once you notice you are, in fact, dreaming. I admit this is a problem. It’s not been as much of a problem for me as remaining lucid has been, but enough that I’ve learned some tricks to stay asleep. To start with, don’t move. In direct opposition to the advice I just gave you, spinning works for a lot of people. Have a plan. Most of these techniques redirect your attention while still allowing the dream to continue. If all of these fail miserably and you still wake up, get in the habit of asking yourself: did I really wake up? In the event you still still can’t do it, things are still (still!) Then ask yourself, once again, if you’re really awake. Above all, keep experimenting. Like this: Like Loading...
How To Avoid These Two MAJOR Lucid Dreaming Mistakes!! | Lucidology A question I got which touches on two common mistakes: You know when you say I am supposed to stay awake and convince my body to go to sleep. First of all once I roll the whole lead blanket feeling vanishes. And then I will try to keep my mind awake and resist the movement urges but my body just won’t switch off, all I get is headaches. A lot of people wonder, why does “stop, drop and roll” involve moving your arms and rolling over if the whole trick to getting into waking sleep paralysis is to stay perfectly still? SDR is really about getting rid of the last bits of muscle tension. So if the final roll stage messes it up then don’t roll. The second mistake is a huge one that I have to repeat a lot. Don’t try to keep your mind awake!!! *****Just fall completely asleep and let the timer make you become lucid Let me repeat that again. When you’re using the Lucidology 101 methods, do NOT try to stay awake when you’re relaxing into a wake-induced lucid dream!!
