Establishing a lucid dream

[lucid]

There are some things you can do(besides fucking shit up)once you've begun to lucid dream to make your dreams more concrete. This will give you even further control of your dreams and cause them to become even clearer and more real.

I talked to a man once who told me that in his dreaming practices he began to feel like his waking world was just a dream and when he went to sleep was when he really was awake and alive.


A technique you can use if you want to achieve something like this(don't worry nothing is permanent)is to try to maintain focus while lucid dreaming.
What I mean by this is that you must pick an object in the current setting of your dream and focus on it until it becomes clear. This will not happen right away. More likely it will begin to blur and lose focus in a few seconds. When this starts to happen shift your gaze to another object and do the same thing. To start, you should probably limit this technique to no more than four objects. The goal is to do this until you can hold these objects in focus for as long as you wish. I myself have not achieved this to great extent but there are people who have and they will tell you that its essentially "creating a new world in which to master."After enough practice you can do this with as many objects as you want.

Another thing to try is to pick a place in your waking life...preferably a place you've been to. Do your best to remember details of this place although if you've picked a proper spot it shouldn't be hard. For lack of better terminology pick your"happy place." When in a lucid dream you should be able to remember this place(your waking world and your dreaming world are not mutually exclusive). For example I often times have lucid dreams where I am completely aware of the bed that I'm laying in and whose next to me, which side of the bed I am on and so forth. However it doesn't cause the lucid dream to fade away.

Keep in mind that while I am providing actual techniques, this is not a fool-proof process. Lucid dreaming is not something that can be achieved with an equation or formula. These are simply things that can....help it along.

Also don't forget to keep looking at your hands and counting your fingers throughout the day(unless you choose the other technique mentioned in the previous thread)as this will become habit and you will be likely to dream about it.


Happy Dreaming

You are really taking this very seriously ?

A member asked me to do another post on more techniques...


And why not. I've had some pretty unbelievable experiences doing this.

Good for you. I can't this as an important aspect of someone's life. After all, it's not like you are harnessing the power of the universe?. You are talking about "unbelievable experiences", did these experiences had an effect on your life or not, if the answer is yes then elaborate?

I'd say the answer is yes. An example of this would be that one time I was dreaming about driving in the car with my girlfriends sister. I had asked her a question about her sister(my gf) she gave me a whole explanation on my question which was why she acts the way she does....well not exactly but I wont elaborate further considering this is personal information. Anyway the answer she had given me in the dream turned out to be true in real life. So I had gained real knowledge about her based on what I had discovered in a dream. Also I had never met her sister before yet in the dream she and her friends looked like what they do in real life.

Fair enough. I never knew this could happen in real life

As fucking lame as this is going to sound, I don't think we've discovered half of what is actually possibly in life.

True. I think the right way to put it since we are discussing something related to the subconscious mind is like this "we haven't discovered 1/4 of the power of the subconscious mind" not to mention life

[lucid]

Ah yes. Much better way to put it.

How do you know how she looks in real life if you never met her
Also, it was proven by scientists that your mind does not create objects in dreams. Mind does not create human entities from nowhere.
In a dream the mind uses what you had seen and/or experienced in real life, so humans you see in dreams are actual humans in real life that you saw on the street or interacted with etc.

I've met her since then. I suppose you must be right....I guess I'm just easily fooled

A little update,  i have been collecting data from 3 days right now,  and tonight i am going to enable the reminders.
The reality checks have not yet appeared, but from what i hear on the net that technique is a long period one, and will not get lots of results.

 So that's it for now, because of the high results other people experienced i will continue on writing down dreams, doing reality checks and more until i get results.
And after that i am planning on experimenting and writing software to combine technique's i already know (suggestions, subliminal, NLP etc.)

Writing down dreams is always a good practive lucid dreaming or not.

I just could never remember to do the right when I woke up...
