I'm not too sure where to put this, as it's not directly related to attaining lucidity, however it could be used for that if you want. Please move it if it's in the wrong section!

I just wanted to share this with you guys, it's something I've done for the last few years when I'm having trouble sleeping, I guess it's kind of an imagination exercise.

The general idea is that you're creating an imaginary house for yourself. The house is a reflection of you. The thing is though, you're not really creating it - your imagination is doing it for you.

You have to go into this with a blank mind, so imagine a vast white space. Put yourself in it and feel the emptiness around you. Then slowly imagine your hand touching a white fence. Follow the fence to a white house and slowly walk around it. Look at it, touch it, and cement it in your mind. Now go inside.

I can't really tell you what to do now. Your house will be different from mine. Don't force yourself to imagine it in any particular way; just let it come to form.

A really cool thing about this is that every room you enter will be entirely different and you never know what you'll find. In my house, I write keywords on each door that I enter. For instance, when I write a loved one's name on the door, the room inside is always a beautiful outdoors area. On another, I write 'childhood', and the inside is a replica of my childhood room. Another interesting note; I've never been able to enter the basement of my house, I always begin to think of other things or fall asleep... hmmm... wonder what's down there...

I find it really interesting what your imagination can do when you aren't controlling it. Has anyone else done anything like this? How can we link this to LDing? I'd love to hear your thoughts
