Lucid Dreaming: How to Control Your Dreams
Hi edge0125
Your music and 30 photographs in Part 2 are magnificent. For this clip I will endeavour to combine the, “20 information frames” with an accurate transcription of “what you say”.
(00:04)
Frame: 1
Reality Checks
Examples of reality checks used by most lucid dreamers
“It is unknown why but in lucid dreams hands tend not to look right. They occasionally look fury and you can’t see the lines or fingerprints on them. Sometimes the fingers mix together and you find it difficult to count how many fingers you have.
Another common reality check involving hands is to try to push your hand and finger through the other hand. Remind yourself before you do this reality check that if you are dreaming you hands aren’t really their.”
(00:42)
Frame 5
Reality Check
Breathing Method
“In dreams, your breathing is regulated by your real body. Dreamers often find it easy to breathe under water due to this. To perform this reality check, pinch your nose and breathe normally. If you can do this then you are dreaming.”
(1:01)
Frame: 7
Reality Check
Reading / Writing
Reality check
“To perform this reality check, you simply read a line or two of text, turn away and read it again. In the dream state it is very likely that the words are different, if you can read them at all. In many cases the text will be black smudges.
A very common variation of this reality check is to look at a clock. Very rarely will two glances of a clock give you the same time.”

Frame: 11
Reality Check
Electronic Device
Reality Check
“Electronic devices rarely work correctly in dreams, specifically lights. In dreams, light switches never work, if they do it is usually delayed or incorrect.”
(01:59)
Frame: 13
Note:
Keep in mind that if we are not intently looking for dream signs during sleep, we will accept everything—no matter how strange.
Within our dreams we generally accept whatever happens—we usually just go along for the ride. It takes training to spot and fully realize the obscurities inherent within our dreams. You have to instil the idea within your head that if you see something bizarre, it’s very likely that you’re dreaming.
{sorry, folks, nature calls, so I got to log-off and have a bread, …URGENTLY,… :panic:}

PART 5
DILD and MILD
Lucid Dream Induction Techniques
Frame 15:
Dream Induced Lucid Dream
Mnemonic Induced Lucid Dream
This is oldest and most common form of lucid dream. Many people refer to this method as DILD/MILD.
The goal is to do reality check in your dream.
Frame 16:
How to perform the DILD / MILD technique
Step 1:
Get a notepad and pencil and keep it ready by your bedside (within reach when you wake up from your sleep)
Frame: 18
Step 2:
Before lying down to sleep, repeat to yourself, that you will wake up and remember your dreams.
For example “Next time I’m dreaming, I will realize I’m dreaming’. As you tell yourself this, your subconscious will listen and will be more likely to do a reality check and become lucid in your dream.
(This is the Mnemonic Technique)
Step 3:
Close your eyes and go to sleep as you normally do.
(3:29)
Frame: 20
Step 4:
When you wake up in the middle of the night after a dream, take the notepad from step 1 and write down your dream. Recall the dream the best you can.
Step 5:
Close your eyes and go back to sleep.
As you are falling asleep, imagine that you are in the dream that you just wrote down on the notepad. Tell you mind that you will become lucid. See yourself as lucid within the dream.
(I had my very first lucid dream this way)
(4:00)
Frame: 22
DEILD
(Dream Exit Induced Lucid Dream)
The DEILD is very similar to the DILD. Your goal here is to re-enter a dream that you’ve just woken up from.
For this method you can either do this after you’ve woken from a dream or you can us the WBTB {Wake Back to Bed} technique.
You don’t want to move at all after you wake up.
Then make a conscious effort to remain lucid and aware as you drift back into your REM sleep. If possible, try to visualize the dream you previously woke up from and see yourself re-entering that dream, but in a conscious state.
Frame: 23
PART 6
WILD
Wake Induced Lucid Dreams
Frame: 24
WILD
(Wake Induced Lucid Dream)
Wake induced lucid dream is basically a method by which the dreamer enters the dream state directly from the waking state.
This method is difficult to master, and each person will experience the transition differently as we each have different physical and mental responses to it.
Frame: 25
How to Wild
Step 1;
You want to do the WBTB technique,
Keep your body totally relaxed and still. Let your inner voice go quiet, and observe any hypnagogic imager, sounds, … (This is normal – they are coming from inside your own head). This is the beginning of the dream state.
As the dream state deepens, hold on to this state of relaxation, while focusing on your intention to recognize the dream state when it occurs.
(5:14)
Frame: 26
How to Wild
Step 2:
Remember you are tricking your body to fall asleep consciously. So hold on to that thin strand of conscious awareness as your mind goes deeper. When your body falls asleep, you may hear and feel loud vibrations or humming sensations in your head.
This is the point of transition: from waking to the dream state. If you try to move now, you may find your body has naturally entered sleep paralysis, This is normal and occurs every time you go to sleep.
By now, your mind is aware but your body is asleep. At this point you can just step into the dream scene.

“Robert Monroe Youtube Series”
On saltcube in October 2009. I just found it while looking for something else. It was way down on page 6. There are 8 youtube’s so that is about an hour of viewing. Enjoy!

***Robert Monroe's "Focus 10"***
Hi
Long before Mat-Nick put his Lucidology 101 on YouTube Nick Newport (then known as Mat Jones) sent me the the whole of 101 in 2 down-loads (a 17 minute and a 37 minute down-load). These are some exerts from my original 17 minute down-load.
“Sleep Paralysis”
(00:00)
In this section we’re going to learn what is the easiest (…) way to enter into a subconscious focus without using any visualization’s. It is called “Sleep Paralysis”.
(…)
(1:24)
If you have read Robert Monroe’s book’s he calls this state “focus 10”.
So what does “Sleep Paralysis” have to do with Lucid Dreaming?
The whole trick to Lucid Dreaming is to enter a subconscious focus without losing awareness.
When you enter into “Sleep Paralysis” your body automatically sends your mind into a subconscious focus. You don’t have to use any visualization’s when you use this method because your body does it biologically.
(…)
(3:40)
Here is the most effective trick to break “Sleep Paralysis”.
(…)
Your breathing however is semi voluntary, so you still have control over it even in deep paralysis.
(…) Simply change your breathing pattern to some thing other than the sleep breathing pattern your body is already in. The most effective way I have found to do this is to begin to breathe deeply and slowly. (…) The main trick is to not panic …
(5:04)
Some people find when they enter waking “Sleep Paralysis” they find that when they were asleep, they weren’t breathing. The problem here is not because of the sleep paralysis itself but because they have an existing condition called Sleep Apnoea. Sleep Apnoea basically means you stop breathing when you are asleep.
(…)
(6:13)
This is actually our main secret trick for doing visualization free OBE’s and Lucid Dream’s. This transition is the most important skill to learn for this part of the course. When you can put your body to sleep without losing consciousness at any point you have 100% perfectly clear dream recall.
(10:30)
There are 2 occasions when “sleep paralysis” is likely, they are :
“When the body is very tired and wants to go to sleep as fast as it possibly can.
and
When the body was very recently asleep but is currently very deeply relaxed.”
11:10
(…)
Using this simple bit of information we can eradicate the single biggest cause of insomnia, “The Toss and Turn” syndrome. When you toss and turn in bed what you are doing is resetting the bodies internal sleep timer each time you roll-over. The body is trying to go to sleep by sending you a “roll-over test signal” but you keep telling it not to sleep when you move.
So you end up stuck in a “toss and turn loop” and never get to sleep.
This results in insomnia.
(…)
(11:48)
The other reason for rolling over is that tossing and turning is a way for the body is to gradually dissipate tension in your muscles.
(…)
(12:28)
Eventually the “Toss and Turn” syndrome will cause you to relax enough so you will fall asleep, but there is a much easier way to go about it.
The easier way is called:
Stop, Drop and Roll.
(…)
(14:55)
Consistency is key. The more you do stop drop and roll the same way each time you fall asleep the more you’ll train your body to associate it with sleep.
In fact, after a while you’ll find your body has associated the very first stop position with sleep and you won’t need the other steps.
Some times you’ll have to roll over additional times in order to fully dissipate your body tension so you can fall asleep. If you find that you do have to roll over additional times then when you get up in the morning think back and remember what it was that caused you to move. Then the next night, relax those areas more deeply so you don’t have to move again.
Hi all
The last sentence, above, refers to those exercises in the first YouTube I fully transcribed, which is 14 posts up from this one and the date and time was: 08-20-2010 (07:05 AM)
That post started at 07:05 AM (20th August 2010) is where I began my defence of Mat-Nick’s work (Lucidology 101, 102 and 103). :shadewink:
spaceexplorer - you are wrong
spaceexplorer you are completely wrong about Nick Newport. I bought the lucidology 102 course and I had my first WILD within fiften minutes of using the computer menu visualisation combined with the shifted balckboard technique and stimulus spikes. And I did this sat in my armchair. To all newbs - ignore the first post in this thread and make up your own mind. Nick Newport is an expert in his field.
