Thread: Lack of sleep led me to find a possible new way to enter dream state (at least new to me) "spinning"

Hi Drake.... I believe what you are experiencing is a form of self-hypnosis while in a Theta brainwave state. When we visualize we use the same part of our brain as when we dream. I would keep experimenting (it works for me, too)

Being an insomniac, and a general fan of the night, I'm going to try this technique. If this is indeed a type of self-hypnosis then would this be easier to do if you're more suggestable? Plus, again if this is hypnosis, can someone else guide you into this?

@ Tuesday - I am going by personal experience here but I think that lack of sleep had something to do with it. My mind was tired and probably in a more "open" place to suggestion and imagery.

From personal experience years ago I had someone walk me through a relaxation technique / guided mediation over the phone. It was a focus on each body part, tense and relax type of thing. That night I had a series of amazingly vivid dreams and I think I actually had an OOB experience but at the time I wasn't sure what it was. So I do believe that you can be guided to that state.
