Tapping head technique

Heres a technique i came up with last night. Also one reason i believe so many people have trouble with lucid dreaming is because they don't create their on techniques. So if yer having trouble really think about how to get lucid and outside of the box. anyways

Heres the technique
1.before bed situp right or lay down doesent matter
2.using your fingers tap your head while strongly visualizing becoming lucid, the word lucid, anything to that degree.
3.use special patterns with your fingers get creative
4.do this for at least one minute i did it for 5 and got incredible results
enjoy lucidity

the secret here is the head tapping you dont want to hurt yourself but enough so you notice it lol.

somethings i do to is talk to myself or like make up a song likeimagining a drum beat in my head while thinking of lucidity

tell me how it works if u try it:)


added later:
this is a little more work but im gona make a song called "lucid lucid" where its me repeating things like "im dreaming im dreaming" "IM lucid Im ucid"but with a catchy drum beat iltry to put that on here

Sounds silly, but I'll give it a go tonight lol.

So why do you think this works? What is the purpose of the tapping? Very curious.

well its liek this i imagine theirs lucidity in my fingers and if i tap my head enough all the places where its a little sore i notice and know thats like lucid energy or lucid everywhere in my mind and then im confident as a motherfuckerr cause im filled with lucid

Woh nice technique, i will definitly try tonight :P

Wow, I really like that. Good job man! So do you do it before bed or during a wbtb. Or does it not really matter when.

Both forreal do both tonight

mmm sounds interesting :) sorta like a placebo thing.
I have done things like this, i will try it

Yea, I think it will give you some confidence and make one believe they will lucid. Very important things indeed!

arrgh i forgot to do this

You idiot. I'll try this tonight, may as well, sounds easy.

I did it last night before bed but my recall was total crap today, so I'm not sure if it worked or not :P

sounds interesting I'll give it a try

Well it's worth a try

I love this as well, i cant believe all of this time i havent even tried creating my own technique. I will definitely get creative with that. Cool post!

Did it last night, can't say it did anything. If it did do something, then it was add more dreams to my total count for last night. Usually I have about 3 dreams, last night I had 5 long ones, 2 were especially long. It could be due to the tapping, but I doubt it.

I will try again tonight.

nothing happened, but ill try again tonght

I hate to say it, but I think this one is a dud. It's just a different way of getting the idea and feeling into your head. Shouldn't just be swept aside though, this could be very handy for certain people.

I made a sincere effort to do this when i went to bed. I tapped my fingers on my head, made up a neat little pattern, and felt the lucid energy pour into my system. The first dream i recorded last night was this

"I rem being in my room with my sister, im in my comp chair my sis on the bed. All of a sudden i rem that i had a lucid dream earlier in the night. (I dont know if i really had one or not but in the dream i freak out and start to rem all of this stuff i cant rem now.) I get up and grab my computer and open it up getting ready to try and record my lucid. I just rem my mem of the lucid being very purple, like the environment was purple. (I cant help but wonder if i had a super early morning lucid and then this flash is an fa. cant say for sure.)"

I tried tapping again during my WBTB but i wasnt really feeling it, and was kind of going through the motions.

This is a neat idea, but what i like most about it is the idea of lucid energy. Im pretty sensitive to energy from daily meditation practice. Feeling this energy as a lucid aid could be quite productive... I will try the tapping a few more times, but i really look forward to making my own technique, one focused on gathering and storing lucid energy :D

Hm... I forgot about the whole energy part of it. I just tapped and thought about lucid dreaming, tried to affirm it in my head that I would have one tonight.

Tonight, I will focus more on the lucid energy, pouring into me.

I also forgot about the lucid energy, until the very end. I imagined there being a lump of blue.... gunk in my brain and the tapping would break it, and when it broke, all the energy flowed in my brain.

This sounds alot like self hypnosis stuff, no reason why it wouldn't work

This sounds like an interesting ritual to help you focus on your intentions. I think tapping myself on the head would drive me absolutely crazy. I guess we are all different.

No downside in at least trying... I'll give it a go tonight!

But perhaps I shall have a few smokes first before I prepare for this ritual? lol

teehee

i had some cool dreams when I tried this :shadewink:

Tried again, tapped for longer and imagined a flow of energy being hammered into my head every time I tapped... but nothing. My dreams last night weren't as vivid as the ones the previous night, which may suggest that tapping away at your head when doing a WBTB is not a good idea. I don't think I slept as well either.

I didn't hammer myself in the head, but tapping was slightly annoying. Not for me, not for WBTB.

I tried again last night but just had non-lucids. I wasn't near as sincere in my attempt as i was the first time.

Im not sure if i will continue to do the tapping as i dont know how important it is. I will, however, continue to focus on "lucid energy" and look for ways to implement it into my own technique. Thanks for the ideas man! :D

You need a vivid imagination for it to work, im not saying you dont :P, but, im just stating :P

Maybe you tapped too hard :P

I'll try it tonight~

I still have thousands of bed times left in my life, but I will try this one tonight.

Hmm. I'll definitely try it, seeing as I need a new technique.

Cool! Even if it doesnt work for its full potential it will replace the old RC method for me (pushing hand through other hand)

LMFAO. I love your explanation. :laugh:

Ooh, really excited to try this whole tapping thing! :D I think maybe actually visualizing lucidity filling my brain might be helpful to me, as I'm a visual thinker. :)

Ok, update. I tried the whole tapping thing. No, it didn't make me lucid, but that night I had one of the longest dreams I've had in a really long time. Probably a coincidence, but who knows? I'll try one more time, just to see.
