Thread: Music And Wild's

Great idea! I'll have to give it a try tonight!

EDIT: Wow, first post! Yeah!

Whoa
Thats weird and cool
The other day i went to bed at like 6
and I woke up some time in the middle of the night
I put in my Ipod to put me back to sleep.
And it was kinda like that.
Only as I kinda started feeling the SP
I realized I had chapped lips.
So i drank a bunch of milk

lololol The ending caught me off gaurd.

Purple Monkey Dishwasher.

My first succesful WILD attempt happened when I was having a hard time going to sleep because of the guitar solo from Guns and Roses "Sweet Child of Mine" Good music can inspire awesome imaginary images anyway so your method makes sense.

It's late so I'm going to try it right now. I'll post if it works.

I'll have to try this.

Tried it, I started to get SP much faster than usual, I like it, the music keeps me focused. Didn&#39;t work though because of the damn itching problem. I wish just once I could try WILD without getting itchy in 19 different spots every 10 seconds. >.<

Well I spent the night at my friends house
And I was tired so I went to bed at 11:30
But I couldn&#39;t fall asleep
Then someone kept calling his house
And I was the only one up so I answered
They asked if this was the Sheriff&#39;s Department
I said no and hung up
So I went and laid down on a couch
I fell asleep after forever
I planned to wake up after a while and go back to sleep
Whatever that technique is called
But I didn&#39;t have to.
I started having this dream that I was at a mall
Fighting this guy.
And then I thought
I was just on that dreamviews website.
And then I started thinking about it.
So then I decided that because the picture clarity was realistic
I must be dreaming.
So I walked around a lot.
Then I decided to try to blow up the mall with my mind
But I couldn&#39;t
Then I kept walking around.
Then it just kinda slipped away and I woke up.
But yeah.
I tried to fall asleep listening to music in the first place.
I couldn&#39;t do it.
I tried falling back to sleep listening to music.
Couldn&#39;t do it again.
It&#39;s kinda gay.
Word.

I didn&#39;t WBTB last night so I never got a chance to do it.


NinjaLder1- I just read your lucid dream in your other post lol.

This is a really interesting idea&#33; I&#39;ve tried many times to totally relax, shut off the monkey in my mind, and blank out...but the dang music in my head always starts over.

Maybe it would be good to just go with it and use it as a focus...

interresting. I&#39;ve tried this before, but not as seriously as you have.
I might put my MP3 player on tonight while falling asleep. I&#39;ll drag some interresting songs into my MP3 player&#39;s maps to inspire Dream Imagination and catch my attention extra tight.

I think songs that are full of Dream or Dreamrelated Lyrics will do well. Like &#39;&#39;Dreaming&#39;&#39; from System of a Down and alot of their songs.

im gona try this, as soon as my sister gives me back my ipod&#33;&#33; but i find i cant really stay still while listening to music etc so iv got a feeling that it will keep me awake but its worth a try.

I wrote something similar about this earlier today, but I haven&#39;t been here for a while and missed this thread. Instead of my writing going completely to waste I will post it HERE, thanks.

LUCID DREAMING METHOD I USE WITH QUICK RESULTS - by theyearthreethousand.

NOTE: I am a &#39;average&#39; lucid dreamer who has varying results during the night. I am not particularly spiritual, and I do not practice meditation etc. Sometimes I do have sleeping problems, and I have excellent physical and mental stamina when it comes to staying awake for long periods of time. I work hard.
I just thought I would mention these points so you have a better understanding about my situation.

_________________________

Whether you are new or experienced with this lucid dreaming technique is unimportant, but I would recommend it with confidence to new dreamers who are struggling getting that first lucid dream. I have been there myself, and maybe - this information would have helped me out quite a bit when I first began.
It seems many new dreamers always try to go lucid during their normal sleeping routine, which is not abnormal, and is an obvious route to take. But I suggest a slightly different method which is less frustrating, and has quicker results:
_________________________

Whenever your body is around 70% (av.) tired (100% being ready for a full nights rest) simply sit in a comfy chair or bed (do not lie your head down), and put on some of your favourite relaxing music.

Make sure there are no other distractions.

If you are slightly tired like I suggested, but not fully ready to have a full rest for the night - you should (quite quickly to your surprise, maybe) doze off in a very light sleep.
I tend to use electronic music with no vocals (Aphex Twin if you must know) so I do not get distracted by following the lyrics. The choice is yours though, it doesn&#39;t necessarily have to be oceanic music.

In your light sleep, you will dream (I believe that we all dream every time we sleep anyway, it is only a question of what we remember when we wake) -
The music you are listening to, will transfer over into the dream world -
You will soon realise that you are dreaming, and your dream will be enhanced quite rapidly because of your awareness.

Your brain is very complex and intelligent, so do not be surprised if it takes you a while to figure out you a dreaming. Remember to look for signs as per usual.
One time I was trying this method, and in my dream world the music was playing from my laptop - just like it was in the real world. I was speaking to my friend about how amazing the particular song, and the whole album was - I then suggested him to change it to a certain track, it wasn&#39;t changing - so I said "Forget it, might as well let it play the whole way through, probably a stupid gli...tch." then it clicked that I was dreaming. Pretty clever, hey?
Other times the music was just in the background, not disturbing me.

You may be be awoken by the excitement at first, but the joy of this method is that if you awake, you will still be relaxed enough to fall quickly back a sleep. I must of had 6-8 short dreams in the space of 15 minutes, all of decent quality. Some of which lasted much longer in the dream world than the amount of time passed in reality. I even levitated in one dream (which I hadn&#39;t reached in my &#39;standard&#39; night dreams before). This could be a way for your skills to quickly improve. I never wrote any of the dreams down, but I regret it. Next time I plan to have my Notepad open.

_________________________

This has become a regular method for me now, and it usually brightens my day up if I am feeling quite down. Yes, I agree it is extremely simple, but for me this method is just much more effective to get that buzz&#33;

_________________________

I do believe that the tracks I have been using will get more effective the more I use them to fall asleep to - which is why I am trying to vary the tracks now. I don&#39;t want for them to work to well, and fall asleep suddenly whenever they are played around me. That would be disastrous.


I look forward to your questions&#33;

Hey what about a long sound effect / audio scenery recording? Like the sound of the ocean, or the forest? A place that you can imagine while you listen to?

Admittedly I haven&#39;t tried this much, but I&#39;ve found Mogwai (post-rock) really helpful for sending me to sleep/inducing a lucid dream. What music would everyone else recommend?

I would reccomend whatever music you enjoy the most. If you want to listen to Mogwai then go ahead. I had some pretty intense stuff on my playlist, didn&#39;t seem to affect me negatively.

EDIT: Trying this with B6 tonight.

I listened the "preview" for Mogwai on iTunes....very interesting I like the music no lyrics, smooth rhythms ....I&#39;m going to buy one&#33; What album do youy listen to? Happy songs for happy people? That sounds like a good album.

Now I&#39;m interested.

Happy Songs for Happy People has been one of my favorite albums of all time for a long time now. I love Mogwai. I still think Hunted By a Freak is one of their best songs. I tried listening to music last night with a mix of Air, Amina, The Books, Sigur Ros, Flaming Lips, Mogwai, Radiohead, and some others and then at the end of the play list put that LD induction mp3 multiple times. I&#39;m going to be honest. It was the worst sleep I have ever gotten in my life. It could be the length of my playlist as it was close to 4 hours. It couldve been the fact I only slept 6 hours. I will try it again tonight possiblywith just 10 songs or so and no LD induction.

I noticed certain songs brought out better hypnagogic imagery. Particularly "La Femme D&#39;Argent" by Air which really made vibrant colors and pattersn very intense until I started seeing branches and leaves. When the song changed everything went to black and I feel asleep shortly after.

About The Books, which album would you recommend for a first time listener to The Books?

Music with dreams...


You might think I&#39;m weird, but I listen to Nickelback. Everyday. For hours on end.

And at the beginning of September, Nickelback music wormed its way into my dreams&#33;

Voila- whenever I listen to Nickelback I do a reality check&#33;

Your technique sounds cool, and I&#39;d love to try it, but I can&#39;t...

I would get Thought For Food. It&#39;s really cool and I think completely amazing. It blows my mind how they were able to texture sounds in such a musical way. The newest album is cool too, but its got more vocal work on it, which I think takes away from them.
