If you don't know how to perform self hypnosis read this http://www.wikihow.com/Perform-Self-Hypnosis or alternatively you can listen to a hypnosis file. Well I did this technique last night and got a very vivid lucid dream and my friend who came up with this got a vivid lucid dream too, however we both failed to stay up all night. Now this technique involves sleep deprivation so you should do it on a week day if you have work or something.
Well the method is simple instead of going to sleep at your normal time you will sit up in the dark and begin hypnosis i.e. using the suggestion you will remain conscious always. You will do this for a hour and then you will begin to meditate with your eyes open looking into the dark doing tibetan dream meditation http://www.plotinus.com/zhine_tibetan_dream_yoga.htm . Finally when you have done this you will do some visualization like imagining yourself in a first person shooter or flying in a first person shooter. You will repeat this intill the time you wake up and then you will do the above if you have spare time throughout the day.
Note the longer your self deprived the bigger the effects are and my friend said if you can last more then three days then maybe your brain will adapt and you will be able to lucid dream at will. What if with alot of hard work you can change your brain like in meditation your prefrontal cortex gets bigger. Well I am planning to sleep deprive myself for up to four days if you have any tips to pull this off without drinking lots of coffee or taking drugs then help me. Also don't drink caffine or take drugs if your going to do this.
