Powerful Lucid Dreaming Technique- (For those who are ready)

[LucidOne]

I would suggest the following for a melatonin / B-6 combination: 1) Set aside 30 mins before bed to unwind with no input. No TV, no music, no books, nothing.. Just the present and yourself. Take the melatonin at the beginning of your 30 mins. 2) By the end of the 30 mins you should be good and sleepy. Climb into bed and assume a dreaming posture. See my other post on dreaming postures for suggestions if needed. 3) Set your alarm for four to five hours after you are going to bed. When the alarm goes off, reset it to the time you are going to wake up. You shouldn't need to turn a light on as your eyes will be well adjusted to the dark. 4) Take the B-6 and lay back down. You can try to use a technique to stay conscious as you fall back asleep, such as WILD or the dream bridge, but you will need a monumental effort. With the melatonin in full effect, you will be back in dreamland before you know it (literally). The B-6's effects should kick in just as you are having your longest REM periods; during the last third of your sleep cycle. As a side note, try not to drink any caffiene, eat anything with a lot of sugar, or drink any soda after noon the day before your attempt. Follow this with some degree of accuracy and you will drasticly increase your chances of having a lucid dream. The length of your period of lucidity will vary based on your personal power. It is unknown to me whether having lucid dreams in this fassion can assist one in having an unaided lucid dream. Perhaps just having experienced the state can be enough to help you get back to the same state again, I do not know. I have heard, though, that B-6 and Melatonin should not be taken regularly, as they can possibly have detrimental affects on the body. I wouldn't do this combination more than twice a week, if that. The rest of the nights just try to get as refreshing a nights sleep as you can. If you can have one lucid dream a week. That is a great start. ~LucidOne Link to Topic with Dreaming Postures: http://www.dreamviews.com/forum/viewtopic....p?p=46589#46589 Link to Topic on the Bridge Method: http://www.dreamviews.com/forum/viewtopic....p?p=46546#46546

that sounds pretty nifty, i'll have to try it some time. but it would be kind of hard to sit there and do nothing for 30 mins

[LucidOne]

When you are sitting there doing nothing, you are with you. No distractions. No escapes. Just you and the present moment... the only moment that really exists, as the future and past are both ideas which exist only in the mind. Until you are happy with just you, suffering exists. This same suffering is what saps you of your personal power. The same power needed for dreaming consciousness... for lucid dreams. Why not give it a shot? Thirty minutes a night is a small sacrifice for lucidity. ~LucidOne

Vitamin B6 is supposed to increase your overall awareness in a dream? Or just bring out your everyday ego?

Hey, I'd love to have 30 minutes before bed to sit and just meditate.

LucidOne, I've tried your technique, it works wonderfully. I realized I'm seeing one of my very vivid visualizations and said like WTF I must be dreaming. Immidiately I woke up for a second, but let me fell asleep. I entered WILD, which was pretty short, but intense!

are there any foods or vitamens that are high enought in b6 to work for this type of plan?

[LucidOne]

You can buy a suppliment which contains just B-6 at the grocery store, or any nutrition store. This site seems to have a lot of info on B-6, including natural sources found in foods: National Institue of Health: http://www.cc.nih.gov/ccc/supplements/vitb6.html

Hehe, this technique worked again! Only side effect is - I find myself in my house and I'm attacked by creatures...

Thats too long to be left alone with mah head...to quote Dale from King of the Hill: "Come on you guys! Don't leave me alone with my thoughts! You've heard 'em!" And where am I gunna get my hands on that kinda meds and that kinda time? Guess I'll do it on a weekend (did somebody say weekend? :finger: party at my place!) so thanks for the suggestion. But is it a full garuntee to a lucid dream? Because if I do all that and end up having another nightmare about "The Ring," I'm blamin' you.
