Funny, I think this is the first PPP file in which a disclaimer would
|
|
make absolutly no sense whatsoever... Once you master these techniques,
|
|
which takes a long time, you might find this better than LSD, both
|
|
mentally and legally. This the first volume is on Lucid Dreaming.
|
|
Meditation, OBE's, and other stuff is forthcoming.
|
|
|
|
Lucid Dreaming is the act of entering into a dream with full conscious
|
|
awareness or gaining this awareness in the midst of a dream. Once you
|
|
realize that your dream 'is but a dream' you can begin to control it in
|
|
magnificent and fascinating ways. Extremely proficient Lucid Dreamers
|
|
can use the Lucid Dream as a stepping stone to an even more interesting
|
|
state -- the out-of-body state. (If there is a next file by me it will
|
|
be on OBE's)
|
|
|
|
Most of the information I will be presenting in this file has been
|
|
condensed from the three sources I learned from. A book by Stephen
|
|
LaBerge, a Stanford research psychologist, called Lucid Dreaming The
|
|
power of Being awake and aware in your dreams. A book called Lucid
|
|
Dreams in 30 Days The Creative sleep Program by Keith Harary and Pamela
|
|
Weintraub, and an article in Omni magazine (I forgot which month and I
|
|
have since lost the mag).
|
|
|
|
Before one can get to the actual Lucid Dreaming state one must begin to
|
|
pay more attention to dreams. A dream journal filled out first thing
|
|
EVERY morning is ideal. You could also keep a dictaphone by your bed
|
|
and before going to sleep tell yourself to wake up after each dream so
|
|
that you can record it. Merely keeping a record of your dreams is not
|
|
enought though. You must analyze each one; they often hold important
|
|
messages. A good book on analysis is Ann Faradays, The Dream Game.
|
|
Once you ha ve gotten a message from a dream follow through on it. If
|
|
you dream about a surprise test next thursday in Group Sex 101 for
|
|
instance, you should study a little bit harder. There may be no
|
|
surprise test coming up but your subconscious may be telling you to work
|
|
harder in order to succeed. If you record then ignore your dreams you
|
|
are telling your subconscious they are not important and are drastically
|
|
reducing your chances of Luciditiy. Once you acquire good dream recall
|
|
go over the past few weeks dreams. Look for any instantaneous shifts in
|
|
perspective, incongruities in time and space. During your waking hours
|
|
start checking for similar incongruities. (If you don't understand what
|
|
I mean by incongruities then I reccomend reading an article called
|
|
Welcome to the Dreamtime in issue # 28 of Magical Blend magazine.) Tell
|
|
yourself before falling to sleep that you will notice these
|
|
incongruities w hile they are taking place. (It may help to do this in
|
|
a light state of self-hypnosis) Eventually you will spot one and then
|
|
you will realize "Hey, I'm dreaming! Holy shit, this is kic..." If you
|
|
get too excited at success you will wake up.
|
|
|
|
Now that you've become conscious the problem is keeping alert.
|
|
Constantly do things like look at the backs of your hands. If you feel
|
|
the dream begining to fall apart it helps to twirl about in circles (at
|
|
least it does for me).
|
|
|
|
The method above is great except for the fact that by using it you
|
|
cannot enter the lucid dreaming state at will. You just have to be
|
|
lucky enough to spot some oddity in a dream. The next method is harder
|
|
but better.
|
|
|
|
Find some thought or image to cling to as you go asleep. While keeping
|
|
your image in mind, observe your mind as you fall asleep. Eventually
|
|
you will enter into a dream with full consciousness.
|
|
|
|
Practice makes almost perfect but takes a long time. It's worth it
|
|
though. Once you become proficient you can explore all sorts of strange
|
|
things. For example in one of my dreams I wandered through a bowl of
|
|
Lucky Charms. Each grain of cereal was like a mountain and every
|
|
marshmellow vibrated with intense color. I made my dog start lapping
|
|
them up. She lapped me up. I then traveled through my dogs innards.
|
|
I've never had an experience that intense using LSD.
|
|
|
|
Once you've acquires some of these basic the important thing to do is
|
|
experiment. Find new methods that work for you as an individual. AND
|
|
PLEASE if you come up with a really great way of inducing a lucid dream
|
|
or if you just have a really intense one leave me some mail so I can
|
|
include it in a future file.
|
|
|
|
I've barely touched upon any of the significant points on Lucid
|
|
Dreaming. If you are interested in acquiring this ability I HIGHLY
|
|
reccomend Stephen LaBerge's book. It has sections on the history and on
|
|
more technical aspects. It's in paperback and you should find it in any
|
|
regular bookstore for $3.95 or if you just have a question then you can
|
|

|
