Thread: My Technique keeps working

I've tried this for the past three or four nights and I just can't seem to get it! I'll wake up for my brief awakening after waking up from my six-hour alarm, but I'll be really tired. I'll say to myself, "OK, start visualizing your backyard..." but I don't make it very far before my mind wanders off I just fall right back asleep.

Does anybody have any tips or tricks to keep me focused? I don't want to wake up too much because doesn't that ruin the technique?

you have to plan out what your gonna touch, for example right now you have to know what your gonna touch the next time you do the technique

hi,

i stay in apartment at third floor, so what's the best scene i should visualise?
should i visualised the main entrance to the apartment building where there is some flower and tree or anything inside mine house?

thanks

Ive had no recent luck with naturally getting lucid so I might try this the next few nights. My only problem with using the brief awakenings is that I usually forget to try the technique when I get them, and just go back to sleep. Any ideas people?

Autosuggestion doesnt seem to work too well for me!

I think we're in the same boat. I'm gonna try what westonci told me - plan out what you're going to touch before you go to bed. Also, I think I'm going to chant while I'm visualizing like "One, I'm dreaming..." etc. I think that will keep my mind focused so I don't just immediately drift off.

Good luck!

Yeah I might as well try a bit of that, I havnt really given the autosuggestion a good go yet

I wonder if its hard to be focusing on visualising and feeling the sensations of touch and smell etc while also counting up and reminding yourself youre dreaming! I'll try it more tonight, and let you know how I go. PM me if you have any success with this

I don't think they'll interfere with each other. It's just visualizing while keeping an inner dialogue.

I'll post results tomorrow. I'm also eating a couple gobs of peanut butter... >.> We'll see how that pans out.
