Hi Phoen: |

I've been tinkering (when I have time) to see if possible to enter a lucid dream while emersed in a Ganzfeld environment. This is simply supplied by a mind machine, now the pules is in the GAMA range (which is quite deep) and they don't think dream imagery occurs at that level (thats if you brainwaves are truly set at this level by the machine). The Ganzfeld is typically a solid wall of light (some use ping pong balls covering their eyes) again mine is suppiled by the light googles. So I was on the GAMA setting and what I started to notice was Hypnogogic Imagery would easily take over the bright wall of light. It was like for a few seconds it wasnt there. Now I never fell asleep but to me that possibly gives the option of being able to dream (and Lucid if possible) from this state. It happend several times which was really cool. I'm going to try it later in the morning. |

Hi Phoen: |

Yes, great minds do think alike, HAHAAHH! I would need to research on the difference in using blackness versus bright lights. I'm not sure what the relevance is with the bright solid wall of light. |
|
wait, so its actually easier during the day!!?!??! holy crap, i take naps like everyday but never attempted WILD during a nap, i only do it at night lol. During the day theres always light in my eyes and it gets bright behind my eyelids so i never thought it could work. |
|
It's true, I take an afternoon nap once or twice a week and everytime I do, I have Supervivid dreams. |
|
Daytime WILDs may be the best way to go. Think about it, neurotransmitter levels are much higher during the day than during the night. For people who can't fall asleep while napping during the day, brainwave entrainment (plus Ganzfeld) may provide a means of entry to the LD state... Worth looking into. |
|
I dont know if using an audio file to assist in entering with Ganzfeld environment. I dont want to affect the true state which is a light field and white noise/ sine htz etc. I'll probably try with out the audio trigger. |
|
Agreed. Keep things simple. My feeling is that it is better not to use Ganzfeld goggles. The reason is because LDs are formed from memory, not visual stimuli from the eyes. So if you are inputting bright light, it may interfere with image formation from memory, which provides a much weaker signal than sensory stimulation. |
|
In the short testing I did, eventually my eyes dis-regarded the wall of light and I started seeing dream images pretty quickly. Although I do plan to do some remote viewing (or dream vision) testing, it's not the purpose of this test. |

Hey phoenelai I didn't get what the Ganzfeld googles were Could you explain me in detail please? This experiment sounds good keep posting results |

Hi all, |
|
|
|
Phoenelai thank you for the information, I would love to read the results of your experiments. As for this I will probably try it tomorrow. I will post my results. |

I used BrainWave generator to try to WILD in the afternoon. I was using noise cancelling headphones and a sleep mask to avoid light. I used the preset for Sleep Induction 1(general) and apparently it's very useful for WILDing. After some twenty minutes of listening to the file with visual deprivation, I started to get some strong vibrations and the beggining of HI (the flashes and that). I also felt numbness on my feet and arms, and my arms were really heavy(SP, I guess?). |

I'm curious how many of us who have had successful daytime lucid dreams have also individually ingested caffeine at some point before taking one of these productive naps. |
|
We who are about to dream, salute you!
Excellent insight, Torcher. I have heard several reports that a low dose of caffeine is an effective LD stimulator. |
|
Well I tried again to WILD while in Ganzfield using the same setting(brainwave and sensory deprivation). I managed to get vibrations but could not even get HI nor SP I was quite tired and I could have get asleep pretty easily, but I did not manage to get even close |

I probably have to wait and relax some more to get HI because i haven't even had SP |

Hi Baron: |

I agree with the idea you should have this moved to the reasearch board. As ZenVortex said, we do have a lot of room for experimentation, for instance we could find out in which frequency mixed with what kind of waves Hipnagogic Imagery manifests faster and clearer |

We'll need to have a moderator close this and we can continue to post here in research: |

Review my latest session. Moved the Post here: |
