Lar's Lucid Dreaming FAQ
2. Lucid Dreaming techniques
2.1. How can I have a Lucid Dream?
Dreams are mostly a reflection of your thoughts throughout your
day. Therefore, thinking of
Dreams during the day, asking yourself if you are Dreaming and wanting
to have Lucid Dreams
when you are awake might be helpful. The wishes might reflect themselves
in your dreams.
Remaining conscious until you start dreaming is one way. And seeing
cues in your dream that
reminds you that it is a dream is also helpful. There are also drugs
and herbs that cause you
to be more consciously aware, and therefore also increase the possibility
for a Lucid Dream.
2.2. Does Reality Testing (RT) work?
Yes. Reality testing is simply asking yourself if you are dreaming.
Finding that out isn't
always easy in a dream. But usually is it quite obvious if you are
dreaming or not. You may
find yourself on an unfamiliar place or doing/seeing something that
will not likely happen in
reality. But sometimes can you find yourself in your bed, and everything
looks as it is suppose
to be. You can try to read something, look away, and see if the
same text is there the second
time you read it. You can try changing colors on something or try
to fly. If you have a digital
clock you can try looking at it, looking away and looking at it
again. If something unusual is
happening are you probably dreaming. But every reality test may
fail; if that happens, don't
try jumping out the window or something else that might harm you.
Reality tests should be done
every hour throughout the day, or more frequently. And especially
before going to sleep and if
you wake up in the middle of the night. Waking up after 5-6 hours,
do some reality tests and go
to sleep again may help.
2.3. How does the Mnemonic Induction of Lucid Dreams (MILD) technique
work?
It works by setting your intention to remember to recognize you
are dreaming. Stephen LaBerge
from the Lucidity Institute developed it while he was trying to
increase his Lucid Dreams
frequency. A good approach is waking up after 5-6 hours, remember
a dream and tell yourself:
"Next time I'm dreaming, I will remember I'm dreaming."
You need to really mean it. Concentrate
on this thought only, if you find yourself thinking on something
else, just let the thought go
and return to your intention. Also try to imagine that you are back
in the dream, but this time
you recognize that you are dreaming. Look for unusual things that
suggest you are dreaming and
tell yourself: "I must be dreaming!" Do this with all
the unusual things you see from the dream
you remember. Continue with this until you fall asleep.
2.4. How does the Wake-Initiated Lucid Dream (WILD) technique work?
It works by remaining conscious until you start dreaming. The Lucidity
Institute also first
presented this technique, but it is not easy if you don't have a
clue what to do. But it is
quite easy and effective if you do it right. Again, you need to
sleep 5-6 hours before trying
this. This is because you don't dream much the first 5 hours, it
is mostly non-REM sleep. You
enter REM a lot faster after 5-6 hours with sleep, and you don't
go down to stage 3 and 4 as
you do when you first go to bed. The problem is remaining conscious
until your dream start.
Many strange things may happen when you remain conscious until the
REM-period starts. The first
thing you see may be Hypnagogic Imagery. It is a pattern, like the
one you see when you press
your fingers against your closed eyelids. Remember that this is
hypnotic, and getting too
involved with them will induce unconsciousness. Just let it flow,
don't get too involved and
don't suppress them either. The next thing you may experience is
Hypnagogic Sounds. It may be
as real as the sounds you hear in waking reality, but they are nothing
to be afraid of. It is a
good indicator that the REM-period is right around the corner. Just
don't let these sounds
scare you. If you start to experience Abstract Thoughts, the logical
part of your brain is
falling asleep and you are not far from losing consciousness. You
might be lying in bed
thinking about a friend and the hypnagogic imagery starts and you
see your friend's face. You
have also worked a stressful day so you start to remember stocking
the shelves at work. Soon
you are thinking that you are putting cans of food on the shelves
with pictures of your friend
on them. All this might seems perfectly normal. But it's not logical.
What you need to do is
try thinking logical, do some math or start over again. Tactile
Sensations can feel like you
are paralyzed and high-voltage painless electricity is jolting through
your body. You may
experience these vibrations and find yourself leaving your body
or having a Lucid Dream. But
remember that all this is nothing to fear, it happens every night,
whether you are consciously
aware of it or not.
Now that you know what you might experience when trying to consciously
enter the REM-period
there is another problem we need to conquer. And that is losing
consciousness, a very common
problem that is rather easy to overcome. A good solution is Caffeine
and Theobromine. Caffeine
is found in Coffee, Tea, Coke, Chocolate and Pills. Theobromine
is found in Chocolate. The
problem is finding out how much Caffeine works for you. A lot of
experimenting has to be
conducted. A good place to start is with 0.5 liter Coke, a cup of
Coffee or Tea, half a pill or
a chocolate bar. If you take too much you will not start to dream
at all, if you take too
little you may lose consciousness. But drinking 0.5 liter Coke is
not very wise, it has a very
disturbing side effect. You should also stay up for about 30-60
minutes after waking up after
5-6 hours with sleep. This because it takes about 45 minutes before
the Caffeine reaches its
full effect. You might experience a DILD if you go to sleep right
after some caffeine intake.
Another way for keeping the mind active and to bring on the hypnagogic
images is to imagine
doing something that involves imagery, audible and tactile sensations.
Like driving a car,
imagine the car and the road, hear the engine-/radio and feel the
steering wheel. Remain
focused on what you are doing and avoid thinking about anything
else than driving that car. Or
you might include smell and taste, by imagine a good meal. This
works best in combination with
NILD, it takes far more time when done as you go to sleep for the
first time. But done with
NILD can you find yourself in a dream in as little as 5-10 minutes.
Or you can try lying on a 30 degree incline mattress (can be done
by stuffing pillows under
it). And keep the room as dark as possible. Close your eyes and
concentrate on your breathing,
the slower the better. Breath with your stomach, making an "Ahhh"
sound at the end of the
exhalation, that will help your mind to stay awake while your body
fall asleep. With time may
you notice mild vibrations and that your body becomes paralyzed.
At that point will you notice
that you no longer have any problem concentrating, everything becomes
clear. In this state stop
concentrating on your breathing and just be aware of your surroundings.
If you begin to loose
consciousness, start paying attention to any light in your vision
or any internal sound. Some
time later will you begin to experience the second vibrations. It
will quickly rush throughout
your body, sometimes accompanied by various sounds and then end.
This is your astral body being
released. Dream images will start to form. You can go with these
images and enter a Lucid
Dream, or you might just sit up and walk away from your physical
body.
2.5. How does the Nap Induced Lucid Dream (NILD) technique work?
It works by staying up for an hour or two after waking up before
going to bed again. This has
proven to be a very effective technique, maybe the most effective
around. Sleep for about 5-6
hours, then stay awake for about 1-2 hours and go back to sleep.
Maybe doing some MILD a few
minutes before falling asleep. Or try staying conscious (WILD) until
the dream starts. This
will in many cases cause you to have Lucid Dreams. Also a good way
to have vivid dreams, or
will at least make dream recall easier. Staying awake for 90 minutes
seems to work better than
60 minutes, though 60 minutes seems to be effective enough in most
cases. And sleeping for 6
hours seems to be better than 5 hours, though it might be harder
to fall asleep again. The time
spent awake should be used thinking or reading about dream related
issues. Like reading about
lucid dreaming or related newsgroups.
2.6. Do Lucid Dreaming induction devices work?
Yes. Your senses never rest. So what your senses pick up are usually
incorporated into your
dream, unless it wakes you up. You dream most vividly in the REM
(Rapid Eye Movement) stage. A
device can detect these eye movements and give you cues. Cues mostly
used are flashing lights
and sound. The problem with these cues is that they don't tell you
that you are dreaming. They
usually appear in the dream as something else, like carlights. You
have to train yourself to
recognize these cues as dreamsigns that are trying to tell you that
you are dreaming. But these
devices are good at causing false awakening, you will think that
the device woke you up and try
to get to sleep again. But you should do a reality test if this
happen, because false awakening
is quite normal. Once your reality test fails, you can continue
doing whatever you want in the
dream.
An even more effective approach are verbal cues. Like hearing "This
is a Dream" or "You are
dreaming" in your dream is a good cue to make you do a reality
test. The only problem is that
such a solution is very expensive if you want to buy a device like
this. Therefore have we
plans for making software and schematic drawings for a device that
anyone with two hands and a
few components can build. You will also need a computer with a soundcard
close to your bed. The
device may also be used for trance induction, by using binaural
beats with matching flashes.
(Anyone that want to join the project, feel free to do so).
I also have plans for wireless devices, a wireless EEG machine can
detect if you are dreaming
or not. I will then use a wireless version of the Neurophone to
give you a verbal cue. A
Neurophone is a device that uses your nervous system to send sound/music
to your brain. No ears
are needed, in fact, deaf people may hear with this device. (The
wireless Neurophone can also
be used for trance induction by sending the desired frequency through
your nervous system). If
you are a deep sleeper that don't see cues, then try getting some
caffeine into your system
before going to bed or after 5-6 hours. If you are a light sleeper,
so that the cues wake you
up, then cut every use of caffeine and chocolate containing products.
And try to increase your
uptake of the amino acid Tryptophan.
If you don't want to build your own device, or don't have the patience
to wait until we finish
the project. Then you can buy a device from The Lucidity Institute
at www.lucidity.com, but
remember that there is a DOS program called DreamWeaver that also
explains how you can create
goggles. The Lucidity Institute will maybe publish a system for
the NovaDreamer called LISA
(Lucidity Induction System for Audio). It is a computer interface
that will make it possible
for the NovaDreamer to play verbal cues.
2.7. Can Drugs and Herbs induce lucidity?
Yes. For more information about this check out my Dreaming
FAQ. You will find most herbs,
vitamins, amino acids, minerals and drugs that help you dream more
and recall your dreams
better. They might even cause you to have a Lucid Dream. To summarize;
herbs like Valerian,
Mugwort, Mullein, Kava Kava, Dittany of Crete, St. Johns Wort, Calea
Zacatechichi, Salvia
Divinorum, Scutellaria Indica, Licorice Root, Vervain, Jasmine,
Honeysuckle, Datura, Bee
Pollen, Catnip, Hops, Scullcap, Mimosa, Lavender, Damiana, Withania
Somnifera, Passionflower,
Chamomile, Cardamom, Gotu Kola, Ginkgo Biloba, Ibogaine, Verbena,
Rose, Cinnamon, Marigold,
Nutmeg, Peppermint, Holly, Yarrow and Anise may help you dream more,
recall more or even have a
Lucid Dream. Make sure you know more about these herbs before you
use them: some are to be used
in pillows, some are to be smoked, some are to be used in tea, etc.
Many B-vitamins may help
you have more vivid dreams and even Lucid Dreams. Sedative drugs
like Melatonin may help, and
drugs like caffeine may help you with WILD and also make it easier
to recall dreams. And
finally, we have psychedelic drugs like DXM that may induce Lucid
Dreams. Some of the drugs and
herbs can be addictive, and be poisonous if taken in too large doses.
For a more detailed
explanation you should check out my Dreaming
FAQ.
2.8. How can I prevent premature awakening?
A common problem for beginners is remaining in the dream after becoming
Lucid. They become so
excited once they realize that they are dreaming that they wake
up right away. There are many
reasons for being excited, but it will only work against your goal.
You need to suppress that
feeling. If your dream show signs of ending, maybe loss of detail
or your dream just go black,
then spinning may help bringing the dream back. Before you feel
your physical body you should
spin your dream body. That is going round and round. Also remind
yourself that the next scene
will be a dream. To ensure that it is a dream should you do a RT.
Just moving, running or
jumping can prolong your Lucid Dream, you might also want to try
spinning out in the
gravity-free universe. When you open your eyes you may be surprised
to find yourself in the
most beautiful environment with stars, galaxies and planets. Another
technique is saying out
loud: "Clarity now!". Just stating out loud your desire
and intention may do incredible things
to your dream. You might want to try other commands like: "Increase
lucidity now!", "Create
visuals now!" and "Stay calm!". Theta training may
make it easier for you to stay in the Dream,
it will also make it easier to induce WILD and recall Dreams.
2.9. How can I change Lucid Dream scenery?
This can be done in many ways, but the most common technique is
spinning. If you want something
to appear, then expecting it around the corner or behind you is
quite effective. You can find a
big TV and a remote, and start changing the channels to a scene
you like, then just jump in the
TV. If you want a special scene can you expect that to appear when
you change the channels. You
might also try finding a bridge, were you see a lot of scenes flowing
by. If you find you like,
just jump. You might try asking a dream character where you might
find what you are seeking.
You can try finding a door and imagine a person/place on the other
side. And you can give slow
morphing a try. You can also try closing your eyes and imagine the
scene forming around you.
But the key is to expect things to happen.
2.10. What is DILD (Dream-Initiated Lucid Dream)?
This is a name for every Lucid Dream where you become aware that
it is a dream in the dream.
Meaning that you are unconscious before you become Lucid. Most Lucid
Dreams are DILDs.
2.11. What is CILD (Chakra Induced Lucid Dream)?
This technique works by focusing on your Third Eye Chakra that is
located slightly above and
between your eyebrows. Set your alarm clock so that you will wake
up after 6 hours. Look up and
at the center of your Third Eye before closing your eyes. Keep your
eyes in this position as
you close them. Give yourself appropriate affirmations until you
fall asleep and visualize
yourself having a lucid dream or leaving your body. If you haven't
fallen asleep within 3
minutes, move your eyes back to normal position and try to fall
asleep. When the alarm clock
wake you up, go to the bathroom and fresh up. For the next hour
read some material on Lucid
Dreaming or Out of Body Experiences. After reading for an hour go
back to bed; roll your eyes
back to your Third Eye. State your intentions for 3 minutes or until
you fall asleep. One of
three things will most likely happen. You will have a Lucid Dream,
have a false awakening or
wake up paralyzed that you might use to leave your body. At the
very least should you
experience vivid dreams. For more details look into The SUNEYE Method
by Joe Russa.
2.12. What is PILD (Punishment Induced Lucid Dream)?
This technique works by punishing yourself every time you fail to
realize that you were
dreaming. While going to sleep, tell yourself that you MUST become
Lucid this night OR you will
be punished in the morning. Various types of punishment may be a
cold shower or maybe an
electric shock. A 9 volt battery against your tongue maybe. This
technique should be used in
combination with MILD. The point is to increase your intention,
and it works.
2.13. What is RILD (Reward Induced Lucid Dream)?
This technique works by rewarding yourself every time you succeed
in having a Lucid Dream.
Various types of rewards may be eating a chocolate bar, or anything
else that you like
doing/eating. Have the things you want to reward yourself by your
bed, or ready to use. It will
increase your intention. This technique should also be used in combination
with MILD.
2.14. What is TILD (Thirst Induced Lucid Dream)?
This technique works by cutting out everything called drinking for
so long that you can really
feel that you are thirsty. Go to bed as normal and sleep off that
deep delta sleep, wake up
after 5-6 hours and go to the bathroom. Fill a glass with tempting,
fresh cold water. Try to
think of water and doing a RT when you drink. To make the experiment
more successful you should
fill your mouth with salt so that you really feel like you need
to drink something. Set the
glass of water on your night table and while you fall asleep, think
on drinking the water and
at the same time doing a Reality Test. You will not drink anything
in the real world, so if you
find yourself drinking something, then it must be a dream. If you
want to increase the feeling
of thirst even more, you should try eating some pepper or chili
before going to sleep again.
2.15. What is UILD (Urinate Induced Lucid Dream)?
This technique is a bit risky. It works by remembering to do a RT
every time you go to the
bathroom. So prior to going to bed should you drink A LOT of water.
You will maybe dream of
going to the bathroom, and hopefully will remember doing a RT. It's
not the best and safest
technique available. But it works.
2.16. What is SILD (Sexual Induced Lucid Dream)?
This technique works by remembering to do a RT whenever you think
about sex, lovers, partners,
love etc. So that whenever you think about your boyfriend/girlfriend
or sex in a dream will you
remember to do a RT. There is also a few approaches you can take
to make the dream more
sexual-related. The B3-vitamin Niacin increases your production
of sexual hormones. Taking
Melatonin, Serotonin and/or Tryptophan will also help. This is because
the amino acid
Tryptophan is metabolized into Serotonin and Niacin. (Serotonin
is converted into Melatonin
when you sleep). If you already have a lot of Melatonin/Serotonin
in your system more
Tryptophan will be converted into Niacin. And your sexual hormone
production will increase.
Chocolate contains Phenylalanine in large quantities, that are converted
into Tyrosine that is
again metabolized into the love hormone Dopamine. So Chocolate may
also give more dreams with
sexual content. Chocolate has also Choline that will help you dream
more, Caffeine that will
let you remember dreams easier and more.
2.17. What is LILD (Letter Induced Lucid Dream)?
This technique uses a letter or symbol to induce lucidity. Day-memories
are often incorporated
into the dream, especially memory from the evening. So it is quite
likely that some of what you
experience after waking up after 5-6 hours and stay up for about
an hour is incorporated into
the dream. This is how this technique work. You concentrate on a
letter, A for Awareness during
that hour. Visualize yourself many times seeing that A and suddenly
remember to do a RT. Think
about this for about an hour and remember to do a Reality Test whenever
you see an A. This
should also be done during the day, do a RT every time you notice
an A. Writing a word or a
letter in your hand, and frequently check it might help. Just hope
that you will remember to do
a RT if you see a big A in the middle of the road. The symbol in
this technique can easily be
changed to your dog, a friend, a place or an activity.
2.18. What is OILD (Orgone Induced Lucid Dream)?
This technique uses orgone energy to induce lucidity. Crystals and
magnets have been found to
send out orgone energy. But each type of crystal send out their
own frequency, various orgone
energy types that do various things to our body and mind. A few
crystals that might induce
Lucid Dreams, or increase dream recall, clarity and vividness: Herkimer
Diamond, Apophyllite,
Kyanite and Amethyst. The crystals should be used in correlation
with your chakras, preferably
your third eye (forehead). Magnets can work by other means than
sending out orgone energy, the
pineal gland also responds to magnetism. A steady state magnetic
north pole field will
stimulate the production of Melatonin as long as field strength
in the vicinity of the pineal
is in the 400 mgauss range. But more is not better. So be careful.
Pulsating magnetic field
will shut down the production of Melatonin, just as light will.
If you have trouble sleeping
might it be wise to check the magnetic field around your bed.
2.19. How can I have Shared Lucid Dreams?
Once you get experience in the field of Lucid Dreaming, have good
control over your dream
environment and can stay Lucid for a long time is it time to move
on. Or if you are an
experienced Lucid Dreamer that wants to try something new, then
Shared Lucid Dreaming is an
interesting approach. Intent is an important key for Sharing a Dream.
When you lie in bed
trying to fall asleep you need to program this intent to Share Dreams
with those you desire,
and then when you are in the Dream, you have to recall that intent
and attempt to fulfill it.
Give yourself appropriate affirmations while you are waiting for
the hypnagogic imagery to
start.
A good way of finding those you desire is imagine them and let the
hypnagogic imagery fill out
the rest of the details. Once you are in the Dream, make sure you
are fully conscious. Check
all your senses and do some logical tests. Recall your intent and
try a few other techniques if
your friend isn't in your dream. You can phase to that person, or
imagine a door and talk out
loud your desire to meet that person, then open the door. You can
also shout and yell for them
until they come along. Once you find them comes the big question.
Are your friend Lucid? Ask a
few simple questions, be friendly and patient. If you know their
interest, create them. And try
to make them understand that they are dreaming. Do things that normally
don't happen in the
physical world. When they understand or if they know that they are
dreaming, make sure they are
fully conscious and that all their senses are working. Once it is
established that both of you
are dreaming should you point out details in the dream, for later
verification. You might also
try to bring more people into the dream. When you wake up you should
write down everything you
could remember, especially the details that were pointed out. A
phone call right after
awakening may help on the recall.
2.20. How can I have Precognitive Lucid Dreams?
When you have some successful experience with Shared Lucid Dreaming
you can give Precognitive
Lucid Dreams a try. Intent is also an important key to have Precognitive
Lucid Dreams. When you
lie in bed trying to fall asleep you need to program this intent
to have a Precognitive Dream,
and when your Dream starts do you have to recall that intent. You
should give yourself
appropriate affirmations while you are waiting for the hypnagogic
imagery to start. When the
dream starts do you need to check your level of consciousness. Do
all the tests and make sure
your logical mind is working. The next thing you need to do is fully
focus on your intent. Make
it perfectly clear, shut your eyes, shut down all signals from the
dream and let go. Move into
the field by intuitively driving yourself with the desire to go
there. Let go and fell yourself
moving towards your desired source. Let time and space go, just
flow with your intention. You
may feel a melt down for a second until before you arrive there.
Wherever you are in time or
space will happen later in the physical world. Just observe whatever
happen and enjoy it.
Remember to write it down when you wake up, for later verification.
2.21. How can I use Dreams to affect physical matter?
This can be done in the Precognitive field. When you are in a Precognitive
Lucid Dream, all you
need to do is try to move objects around, or make various marks
on other people. Not only do
you have the ability to move matter, you can also create electricity,
magnetic fields, light,
heat, sound and matter. You can also form and dissolve matter. You
can do this on the lowest
plane, the physical plane in the precognitive field. Being in the
physical plane is usually
called OOBE (Out of Body Experience). But you don't need to be in
the precognitive field to
affect matter, being in the physical plane is enough. So more on
these subjects will be
discussed in my Out of Body Experience FAQ.
2.22. How can I have Shared Precognitive Lucid Dreams?
When you feel that you have good control over Shared Lucid Dreams
and Precognitive Lucid Dreams
you can give Shared Precognitive Lucid Dreams a try. What you need
to do is find the person you
what to Share the Dream with. After all the usual tests are done
and both of you are fully
conscious, do you need to agree on the same intent. Agree on the
time and space and do the same
as you were trying to have a Precognitive Lucid Dream. Holding hands
may make it easier for you
to stay together. Since you are two or more will you most likely
have more success affecting
the physical world, since more energy is concentrated. As always,
write down your experience
for later verification. If you are looking for scientific evidence,
try reading up on the
paranormal section in my Dreaming
FAQ.
2.23. How can I stop real time in my Lucid Dreams?
Stopping real time in your Lucid Dreams means making the Lucid Dream
last far more than the
time passed by in the physical world. Like having a dream that last
a few minutes in real time,
while you might experience it as a few days in the dream. By doing
this can you enjoy the dream
scape a lot more, since you can spend days in the dream while it
really just last a few
minutes. Robert Monroe even reported experiencing 100 years in a
2 hours OOBE. But to
experience this might be difficult, little research have been done
on this area. And those that
experience it don't consciously try to have them. Still, there are
a few techniques you might
try. First of all, set your intention to stop real time. Have that
intention in mind while
having your Lucid Dream. Picture yourself being in the dream for
days, maybe even weeks before
you wake up. You might try to saying out loud: "Stop time now!"
You can try looking at your
clock in the dream, and imagine that the clock slow down and stop.
You might try to expect the
dream to last for days. You might try visualize two pyramids, connected
at their bases
counterrotating. And maybe visualize multiple pyramids rotating
inside each other all rotating.
This is something worth going for, as it may give you incredible
long Lucid Dreams.
2.24. How can I leave my body from a Lucid Dream?
As you may have understood by now dreams take place outside your
body. They are happening in
the mental plane where you might meet other people or easily go
down to the physical plane and
travel in time and space. Being in a reality where you can do whatever
you want is much more
fun than being stuck in the physical plane. But exploring the physical
world can also be fun,
and many different and useful things can be done on the physical
plane. One technique is
imagine a door and talk out loud your desire to enter the physical
location when you go through
that door. More techniques on how you can leave your body can be
found in my Out of Body
Experience FAQ.

2.25. How can I use Lucid Dreams to read 1 million words per minute?
To reach speeds as high as 1 million words per minute a computer
program that can show 30
frames each second with 550 words must be developed. Such plans
are in place, but no
programming has been started yet (If anyone wants to assist in this,
please let me know). A
video camera and a TV might also produce such high speeds. But a
computer program might show
E-texts and maybe also allow searching for desired information on
the web. This technique works
by using the power of your subconscious. Your subconscious has the
ability to process enormous
amount of information. Until the computer program is developed you
can use a little variation.
And that is using normal books. Since it takes some time turning
each page of the book does the
speed drop to about 25,000-50,000 wpm. Before sending the pages
in the book for processing to
your subconscious you should enter a trance state, preferably the
theta state. Turning the
pages of the book will make it difficult to keep that state. But
it can be done with practice.
(The computer program will include flashing screen and binaural
beats to put you down in the
desired state before sending the pages to your subconscious). To
send the most of the
information in the book to your subconscious you can't have a hard
focus on the book or screen.
If you are reading a book you should place your focus some place
behind the book. This will be
a lot easier with a computer program. Because it will include stereograms
in the background
that you may try to focus on. (Stereograms are pictures where you
have to diverge to see the
3D-picture.) Before starting the reading should you give yourself
appropriate affirmations.
You will have no recall of what you just read once you are finished.
At least not at first.
This is where Lucid Dreaming comes into the picture. While Lucid
Dreaming you have access to
all the information that your subconscious has stored throughout
history. But the beauty with
Lucid Dreaming is that you can let your subconscious process the
information for you. You might
imagine meeting the author of the book you read around the corner.
Once you meet him can you
start asking all the questions you were seeking answer for in the
book. And your subconscious
will provide the right answers. Even where in the book you will
find that answer. If you read a
novel can you sit down in the most comfortable chair you can think
of, imagine a big screen TV
with 3D-cinema sound. Then you might start watching the novel while
