Thread: List variations to gravity induced LD technique

Stability of the visual field.

Basically if you are lucid and look at anything for more than a few seconds inconsistencies appear. This could be a slight rotation to what you are seeing that keeps self correcting, or slight moving patterns in things like wood grain. You will also notice that fine detail is missing in a dream, as in a lack of tiny dust flecks and things like that. I simply take 30 seconds many times a day and look directly at something and watch carefully for these instabilities.


Of the ones listed in yaya's post, I truly like and use the ambient noise one. In a dream there is never more than 2 sounds at one time, unless it is central to the plot. In real life the world is full of various small background noises. During my 30 seconds of visual examination I also pay attention to background noise. You can dream that you hear background noise, but they will present themselves one at a time. As you notice a new one, the old one will fade. In waking life you can easily track 3 noises before others will start to fade. With practice you can track 5 or more. You could never track 3 at the same time in dream, from my experience.

I do not know if you will think this fits, but Ability to effect matter. During your short reflection of sight and sound pick an object and push it with imaginary extensions of your body. This could be beams from your eyes or a phantom version of your hand. Even if you lack good dream control, the object should at least waver or shake a little in a dream. In my case, the object will do anything I wish, such as fly away from me or float. This never happens in waking life (not yet at least ! lol)
