Thread: a type of visualization that worked for me last night

Alright, my past week has been hectic, had to move everything out of my room because I was getting new carpet installed, so I haven't had much time for LD techs. I had a lucid dream 2 nights ago from MILD (it was very short though) and last night I did a visualization and I got 2 LDs last night (the first one turned into a non lucid because someone was chasing me, so it was short, and the last one ended quickly. my fault for not stabilizing, but still) and I usually never have LDs 2 nights in a row, so this is good for me!
Ok, I got in bed and started saying the mantra "I am aware of my surroundings, I am questioning reality" or something like that, just to switch it up. Then i started to visualize something
everything was completely white, and then I visualized my brain, just sitting there, but I made it very large, I imagined the top of it was open, and there was a divider between the front and the back of the brain, the front part had a label as "conscious" and the back part had a label that said "subconscious" then I imagine them both filled up with words and ideas, then I put my self there, standing next to the brain, it is about as tall as me. I picture myself taking everything out of each side, and I physically put the words "lucid dreaming" in the "subconscious" part of the brain. And I only keep that in there. I say to myself "lucid dreaming is in my subconscious. I have awareness" "lucid dreaming is the last thought in my mind before sleep". so basically, you just imagine yourself putting awareness,lucid dreams, etc. in your brain.
so, you guys should try something like this, and tell me what happens. I didn't eat anything or drink anything or take anything before bed, so nothing was affected in that way, or any way I'm aware of. I do not claim the idea of this as "my own" because I'm sure it has been used. So, tell me if this works for you guys

Rofl, yeah that makes sense. I used to unintentionally visualize my brain being sucked out of my head by aliens. This seems like a way better use of visualization

how do you also do that method when you want to dream about something anything?

well maybe put the words "dream" in the subconscious and put the words or ideas that you want to dream about, I haven't tried that but I assume it works the same way.

How did you create this method?

I forgot about it :-) I'll try to remember it now for tonight.Can't promise I will

Did you try it only once? I didn't quite get it - you did it during WBTB or just in the beginning of the night?

I love the logic of this. I'm going to try it few times

How times do you have to mantra to lucid dream about something you want?

I did it right before bed. It has worked for me multiple times. And I'm sure it would work during WBTB, I usually don't do WBTB though since I have a hard time falling back to sleep

I'll try it tonight!
I'm on spring break until next Monday so I'll be able to practice techs..

sorry for replying late ( I was sick yesterday) so, it didn't work Saturday, but now I'm better so I'm going to try again tonight
