Do Subliminal Messages Work?

**PuppyCat** · 09-01-2008 09:59 PM

I have Brain Bullet, and there is an option for "Control your dreams at night"

These are the messages it flashes:

I am aware of the un-ordinary
I am aware when I begin to dream
I am aware when I dream
I am in control while I dream
I am invincible when dreaming
I am omnipotent in dreams
I am safe in my dreams
I am strong in my dreams
I am the hero in my dreams
I am the most powerful in my dreams
I am what I want to be in my dreams
I ask myself if I am in a dream
I can awake when I want to
I can do anything I want in my dreams
I can dream when I want to
I can stop my dreams
I choose when to end my dreams
I control my dreams
I control the length of my dreams
I improve dream recollection daily
I know everything in my dreams
I know when I dream
I question my dreams consciously
I recognize dreams when I have them
I remember all dreams completely
I remember all of my dreams always
I remember what I dream
I rule my dreams
I test reality frequently
I use imagination in my dreams
I wake when I want
My dreams are clear
My dreams are limitless
My dreams are pleasant
My dreams are vivid
My dreams satisfy me
My lucid dreams are great

Each one flashes for 10miliseconds, once per second. They flash on my computer screen while I am surfing the web, or when I just sit down and watch them. Do you think it will work? Has it worked for anyone?

Dodobird made a program like that a while ago.

This is different. I'm not asking for comments, I'm asking for answers. I didn't make the program I am using, and I am not taking credit for it.

I've just done some reading about Brain Bullet. I'm not convinced enough to fork over the $40, but I'm interested in hearing what you think. I'm someone having a hard time getting lucid and any little help couldn't hurt. Please keep us updated.

I was free...

**Sir Mark** · 09-01-2008 11:17 PM

Can you give me the link? Tried looking for a free download version. No luck.

Here is the link

It is a rar. file, so you will need a rar. file opening software to open it. I use IZarc.

They can work, but for them to be truly sumliminal your can't notice them, your subconscious has to pick it up without you registering what you've seen.

The link does work, but you put two lots of "http://". Like, learn to type

yes does it work?

**rockinred** · 09-04-2008 01:04 AM

I've just downloaded it and will let you know if it works for me.

Greetings,
Ok, so I downloaded BB on 9/1 and have had it running ever since. Last night I had my first DILD since I started trying again followed by my first ever WILD. Is it due to BB or is all the focus I've put on my desire to LD, the reality checks, the reading of books, posts, etc? I think it's a combination of all the above, but I'm definitely going to keep BB running.

**PuppyCat** · 09-07-2008 05:03 PM

But the thing is, BB makes my computer lag whenever it flashes.

OK, Well I downloaded a subliminal messaging program a few days ago thinking that it'd work and help me on my quest for ~~World domination~~ Lucidity. But after downloading it I decided to do some research into whether thay work or not, this was some of the stuff I found:

Subliminal messages DO in fact stimulate the brain but not as much as un-subliminal (yeah Ok i made that word up

) ones. For example, Three groups were tested to see the effect subliminal messages had on brainwave activity. 1 group were shown subliminal messages with the word 'Beer' on them, another group were told to look at a wall with the word beer on it, and the other group were shown no such messages. The investigation found that the people who were shown the word beer either subliminally or non-subliminally shown an increased feeling of thirst compare to the group who weren't. BUT the people who were shown the word beer sumbliminally were less affected than the others.

The Subconcious can only pick up single words within the few milliseconds the words are shown. So if you have the sentence ~~"I will dominate all beings and the world~~ "I will become Lucid" the brain will only pick up the "I" or at most "I will" which isn't very helpful.

The majority of psychologists and scientists have the veiw that subliminal messages cannot influence human behaviour and control what they do, but most acknowledge that there is some truth in subliminals in that they can influence the brain, if only slightly.

There was more, but I don't want to go on, and on.
So what did I do?
Uninstalled the program.
There was no significant evidence to suggest that this would benifit me, and so it was, In my opinion, pointless.
BUT, There is a form of placebo effect where if the user beleives that subliminal messaging will work, then there self esteem may be boosted.

Make up your own mind but DON'T buy a program. 40 dollars for a program that:
1. Only flashes words on your screen, harldy Hi-tech.
and 2. Isn't even scientifically proved to work.

Hope this helps
