Hey everyone,

I have just finished reading an awesome book by Jane Roberts. From the early sixties to when she recently died she channeled an entity named, "Seth". One of her first books she wrote with Seth's guidance was "Seth, Dreams and Projections of Consciousness". This has been the first book I have read by "spirit" on the topic of dreams and it has been most illuminating.

One thing I thought I would share was a technique for having better dream recall. I hear you thinking, "I've heard it all" which is natural, maybe you have heard this, but I hadn't and it is working amazingly.

It basically involves using self-suggestion in order to awaken after each dreaming period (for Seth says we dream ALL the time, and R.E.M. is just a time when the dreaming self comes closer to the waking self). Waking up directly after a dream makes detailed recall and recording a hell of a lot easier.

As you feel you are about to fall asleep repeat the following suggestion with as much focus and as many times as you can:

"I will wake up directly after each of my first five dreaming periods and record them immediately." Beautifully simple and effective. In my experience, improving dream recall has brought me the most success with Lucidity.

This technique also reveals the layered nature of the subconscious; over a period of time you can compare "dream one" of the night with "dream one" of another night, "dream two" with another "dream two" and so on.

Dae,

Rob.
