Activating the left brain hemisphere to attain lucidity

This sounds interesting. I have read a lot of tips and methods online but lots of them aren't that appealing. I'll post my experience later, if I'm successful with it.

what you actually do is visualize, like SSILD. you with a good visualization will have a lucid dream with this method, otherwise leave it. haha.

Interesting. I tried this last night and while I did not become lucid I had a dream with a "questionable reality". It was like I was watching a movie of 2 armies fighting and when one side won, it had a parade of troops including animals. When I saw the line of elephants I asked myself how could they get so many elephants? And then some of them started doing somersaults and I thought "This can't be real. They must be using special FX." That was how I justified it, FX not dreaming. Still at least I questioned it and later in the dream I was controlling the FX. Not as a lucid dreamer but as an FX editor. Still there is a similarity of analogies.

Actually worked for me,gave me my 2nd ever lucid. Was short,but worth it. the rest of my dreams were also extremely vivid,to where I probaly couldve went lucid in them aswell. (Been reading for awhile now,only signed up to feedback this thread)

I'm going to try this technique tonight. Last night I did a breath retention exercise that focused on bringing more oxygen to the left side of my brain. Essentially breathing in and out about 30 times while pinching my right nostral. I didn't go lucid but I was thinking in more logical ways that correlated with the theme of my dream. At one point I was sitting in a lawn chair discussing quantum theory with a dream character. Lol

I listened to an audiobook called: Dream yoga- a Tibetan path awakening in lucid dreaming by andrew Holecek
In this Book he describes the sleeping lion posture where you lay on your right side and block off the the right nostril. Ive heard of this before and leberge has looked into the alternation of breathing through nostrils linked to right side left side activation, he even went a little further to digest that flow of air down one side of the nostril can be affected by a point under the armpit but no further info was given.

I naturally find it more comfortable to lay on my left side, but For a while I’ve beenThinking about blocking my right nostril with an ear plug when I go to sleep. Tonight I shall try the amygdala technique and The following night I’ll try the amygdala technique and block the right nostril too.

Very interesting, thanx for the info!

Have you tried it yet?
I may try it shortly just to have to find a suitable earplug

Keep us updated plz!
cheers
