Thread: Salvador Dalí's practices of Lucid Dream Induction

It sounds much like my own technique of holding a small iron hammer on a string attatched to the ceiling back and when you enter SP and let it go it swings forth straight against a large Bell.

This, however, failed to wake me up. I guess I'm too far out of consciousness sometime before my had enters SP and lets go.

Maybe I should get a bigger, Louder bell. perhaps one of those DAMN annoying, loud Schoolbells and a Large, heavy iron hammer to ring it. A bell that will CERTAINLY awaken me from my just initiated slumber. Thanks Dalí

Great Post.. I haven't tried this technique enough.. though I will. This will definitely help me WILD after I catch myself from falling asleep. Dali sure was disciplined..

I'm flattered by this whole idea of using the sound to wake you up except I quite don't get what it is for. What does this technique serve for?

If you're familiar with WILDing, you know that the key is remaining conscious right at the onset of sleep. When a noise wakes you up at this point its like a signal; "pay attention- its happening now!" My technique is going to be imaginign myself climbing a rope after I wake up. I think body awareness techniques will be very effective here.

Thank you bro. Now I understand. I should try it out

Hey Ska, nice find, thanks for posting mate!

This is a really nice post. I'd never known of the techniques Dali used to explore his Dreams up until now.

His method is interesting too. I've used similar tricks in the past to make myself more aware of the awake/sleep line, like raising your arm while in bed. You start to fall asleep, your muscles "switch off", and your arm falling and hitting the bed brings you back to consciousness. It worked for a short while but soon lost it's effectiveness. Using sound as in this technique seems like an idea worth trying.

Thanks for sharing this, SKA.

Very interesting technique.. it seems like doing it that way you get the feel of balancing between sleep and awake state, I'll try it out for sure
