Thread: My Technique keeps working

Ok, see if i got this right:

Sleep for six hours, then wake up by alarm, then sleep again, and wake up normally, then touching stuff in your garden?

You sleep for six hours, wake up, go back to sleep, wake up and visualize touching stuff in your garden.

Lets just say you go to bed at 12:00am. You should set your alarm clock for 7:00 am because it should take you an hour to fall asleep.

When the alarm clock goes off at 7:00am turn it off and go back to sleep.

Your next brief awakening should be roughly at 8:00am and this is when you should apply the visualization.

The visualization is you walking around the perimeter of your backyard during a sunny day. And while you visualize yourself doing this you should touch objects in your backyard such as doors, walls, chairs, BBQ machines etc.

If all works out, you should enter a Lucid Dream.

I am loving this thread, iH8reality! This morning I went back to bed after 8 hours sleep and WILDed with reasonable success. I had intense vibrations whereby it felt like an earthquake because my bed was shaking so hard and I also had a very vivid sensation of a presence in my room right down to hearing the floorboards creak. I was home alone at the time and so did a quick check just to be sure by lifting my head and looking briefly round my room. Luckily doing this didn't ruin my WILD and I then entered a wonderful flying dream. I was high up in the clouds flying with the birds. It was so peaceful.

However, I often have trouble distinguishing when I am no longer visually imaging (meditating) and when I have actually entered a dream. I do feel myself being sucked into the dream but because my conscious level doesn't alter I just think I'm still meditating vividly. I will definitely try your technique and let you know how I get on.

Do you perform RCs as you walk round the garden in your mind? Do you think this might this help me recognise when I've started dreaming?

Love your avatar

Also love your username! It's funny coz the other night I was walking out of a restaurant and I thought about how I had to walk all the way across the carpark to my car and I found myself wishing it was a dream so I could fly there. I then found myself thinking about how much reality sucked compared to lucid dreaming and your username came to mind! Ha ha!

i know when ive entered a dream, its hard to describe to a person how it feels. Its like going from 2D to 3D.

I guess I do know when I've entered the dream. That's a good description about going from 2D to 3D. I think my problem is more about maintaining lucidity. Do you have any tricks or techniques you use to keep yourself lucid?

Cheers

Calming yourself down, and rubbing hands are good ways to keep yourself lucid. As Westonci mentioned my technique usually results in extremely vivid Lucid Dreams, so it can be exciting.

No luck last night. I actually tried it 3 different times and I just fell asleep.

Ill try again tonight.

last night after i did this technique ( i didnt think i was at the time, but i was). I had a WBTB after a short not vivid one and pictured walking through my backyard and it looked real and i wasnt paying attention and then i was like "OMG" this is so vivid, i must be dreaming and then i was in a dream.

Wait.

So if i go to sleep at 10 am i should set my alarm at 4. wake up at 4am then set me alarm for 5??

if you go to bed at 10pm you should set your alarm for 5am because it should take you 60 minutes to fall asleep. So you'll be asleep from 11pm - 4am which is 6 hours.

When the alarm wakes you up at 5am turn it off and go back to sleep. The next time you have a brief awakening you can apply the visualization i mentioned earlier.

Yes I know that but i was wondering if you go to sleep again at 5 do you set your alarm for one more hour and that is the brief awakening or does your body wake you up

your body will wake you up naturally

What can I substitute in if I don't have a backyard?

some open space outdoors that your VERY familiar with. Try and make it a sunny day.

Teacher, I have a question!

What should I be doing physically?
I should just lay there on my back right?

So it's kind of like WILD? well, either way i'm gonna try it.... when I can get enough sleep

Wow, lots of decent VILD-type techs cropping up.

I have places here that I wanna correct but I think I've blathered about it enough about it in Kromoh's thread already =P

But DAMMIT, h8.... make better titles... You always have like "100% tech" or "Ultimate tech" or "this gives 18 lucids per night" or "this always works for me". Your techniques are often decent but the attention whoreing just gets on my nerves >: ( Plus, it always seems that the only reason you go onto this site is to make a new thread with a new "awesome tech of ultimate awesomeness" and get it to really high views.

Oh, and bits of advice... when you are feeling the object, concentrate on what the object feels like rather then what it feels like when you touch it. It might not seem like much but there's a big difference =P Also, take note of the terrain under your foot. Is it hard gravel, soft and spongy grass?

Ok I went to bed thinking this is probably not gonna work like the other things I've tried, but I'll tell you this.. it's the first thing I've tried that's given me 4 lucids in a row

Thanks I H8 Reality

No I mean when you regulerly lay down at night to go to sleep, what position are you used to falling asleep in?

im gon hit this up.

do u always wake up the second time? im gonna try to WILD right after i turn my alarm off.

also, when u do this technique, do u feel the sensation of your body falling asleep or no?

Yeah you wake up naturally the second time (I think)
