Thread: Ask Me About Neuro Linguistic Programming

One was to visualize yourself doing something, not visualize the thing itself, but like watch a movie of yourself doing it successfully, but I didn't know how to do that with lucid dreaming. So I practiced some other things that I would like to do.

Guess what? I had tons of recall, and a lucid, into an FA in which I again became lucid.

I have no idea if it was connected to reading about NLP and doing weird mental exercises or not.

I noticed the mood of my dreams completely changed after reading NLP. it's strange! I've given myself commands to dream of interacting with women, without my usual anti social habits. and i will dream that i'm being more persistent, more friendly, etc. it's cool. I've been more relaxed in social situations as well!

That's why I'm not worried if it is pseudo-science or not. If it helps, it helps--who cares why? I'm not a very "psychological" person and I have trouble doing the exercises, but I've never even tried to "visualize" before. I think any sort of trick to keep myself focused on something instead of all the millions of distractions that usually take my attention away may be beneficial. And, since really I wanted to use it for getting lucid, somehow it worked (I think&#33 even tho I "thought" I was trying to use it for something else.

(That was mumbo-jumbo&#33

That sounds like me! I'm always distracted by stuff! it takes time to build concentration for me.

if you want a real cool Trance induction check out www.hypnotica.org go to the download section and get the double induction. It's cool, one guy speaks in your right ear, and the other in your left. they finish eachothers sentences and sometimes combine commands. you try to listen to what they are saying but you can't pay attention, then you drift off.

no worries about mumbo jumbo. i do that a lot.

Is their anything in the NLP thing to get rid off addiction, I play computer games too much and I think I'm addicted to it. Also, getting rid off pain(headaches) and tiredness would also help. I read about NLP used to cure smoking and use to block out pain e.t.c.

just find a different hobby.

I guess the only way to change something is to replace it.

I found a good article on pain control from NLP. I heard breathing deeply gets rid off headaches.

Umm you got the derren brown book right???

His excercise with picures (sub-modalities). is worth a shot. make the picture of your video games habit far away. and put a new hobby in the picture that's more close up.
