Thread: Yet another possible new technique (worked first night)

Well, last night I decided to try out another idea of mine (or at least I think it's mine)

Before bed I wound myself down by watching some TV (it works really well for me) and then turned it off after about 20 minutes and laid down on my back.

I practiced some HI and after I started seeing some vivid images I told myself "If the next time I am standing up is not in my room, then I am dreaming" and I told myself that over and over and gave myself several reasons why that is and kept it up for 7-10 minutes.

Later that night I had a very long lucid dream (but I don't remember it because it's a school night and I had to wake up fast and didn't concentrate enough on the dream )

Has anyone else done this? Questions? Comments?

PS: I tried blinking in the dream and when I did, my entire scenery shifted from being out on a street in daylight to standing in my room at night. I suggest trying it

hmm... sounds like a good idea, i think ill try that tonight. what really winds me down is excersizing before i go to sleep. anybody else here like to do something to help them sleep?

yes it does sound like a good Idea. I think I will try it tonight.

Hmm yeah, good idea. A bit of a variation of other things out there, but still requires quite a bit of concentration... Which is sometimes hard when you're lying comfortable in bed, sleepy as hell

Thank you for the positive replies

It makes sense...self suggestion is very powerfull and usefull when it comes to lucid dreams...

Use whatever techinique works best for you...
