hello people
i once tried a technique insprired by a ancient tibetan ritual of "self-sacrifice": during the ritual the main priest commits mentally suicide - sacrificing his ego before god....... and in another textbook i read that tibetan priests also actively practiced "nightmare-induced" luciddreaming. (chasing demons yourself into your dreams.....)
ok: so, what did i do? before going to bed i imagined myself and started imagening stabbing myself with a knife...... - really intensly! - imagined sound and visions like in "friday the 13th" or "nightmare on elmstreet" - with every stabbing i mentally screamed: "this is a dream": result : in the first night i dreamed that i was in a nazi-concentrationcamp and that a huge crowd of people were stabbing me with swords. in the second night then i was in an appartement and all people present started throwing knives at me - small knives and not sharp anymore - that was very annoing to me and i screamed in the dream: "why the fuck is everybody throwing knives at me?". in the 3rd night - after butchering myself mentally before going to bed.... - i was dreaming that i was shooting arrows myself..... and suddenly i realized: "this is a dream! sharp weapons are my dreamsign!" ......... and off i flew into the open skies of a lucid dream..... 8)
i still like this induction method: but be aware - the first few nights you will wake up terrified and with racing heartbeat.......
