Thread: Lucidity as tool for reality manifestation!

^^ Could you be a bit more specific on what you mean by "influence," lucidbunnie?

Do you mean using lucidity to, say, enhance waking life with a greater sense of self, or do you mean actually using our lucid dream control skills to somehow effect or change physical reality?

I do "practise" (rehease) difficult waking life situations like complicated negotiations or other encounters I expect to be complicated in dreams.
The outcome in waking life then usually is much better than expected, easier to resolve (or steer into I direction I fancy) and sometimes I even get the impression that actions I reherased in Dreaming even influence the later waking life event (like things I said or did in Dreaming have an effect in wl even though I did not mention/repeat it in wl).

I'm thinking more along wish fulfillment in waking reality than skill rehearsal or therapeutic effects of lucid dreaming while awake. Of course, those are amazing by themselves. There is a wide belief that everything in existence is made of energy and to certain extent we can influence desired outcomes through expectation, much like in dreams, but a lot more restive. Visualization Meditation works on this principle as well. Visualization to attract desired energies. I had experienced wish fulfillment through Visualization Mediation, but they had not as much impact as I'd like. However, rather than work in a meditative state while awake, I feel the impact would be more profound if we do while we are lucid in a state deeper than wakeful meditative states. I couldn't find much info on this topic.

Well, I've read in a couple articles how some profound researchers use lucid dreaming for problem solving. Any math equations or any solutions to general knowledge problems have been solved in their dreams if they struggle to figure it out in waking life. Another thing is maybe music composed in your dreams, artwork or literature. These are all things that can be brought from the dream world into your waking world and therefore may have some effect in your real life

Yes, bunnie! u can create a galaxy in this world with thoughts alone, find 50 small changes you can make to your daily routine that will help you focus on your goal and you will see reality become 500x more like what you dream of

Being sarcastic or out of topic? I was hoping for more intellectual views like "I think so" followed by your views on this OR "I had some success with such experiments" followed by experiences etc.

You can search my posts on the topic.

Yes lucid bunny it is possible to overlap the dream with physical reality. The most tangible documented thing I have to date are number Synchronicities over 1500 license plates that show 333, 444 , 7777, 88888 etc. There are intangible things I've accomplished as well like bringing grass and rocks from the dream, resetting certain events of a day, rainbows around moons etc etc. So many intangible things I've witness lol. I personally feel the idea that we control these happenings needs to be relaxed a bit and the focus should be on connecting with the dream planes. just my humble opinion. I should also note that though I've witness 1500 number syncs on plates I did not wish or will them into existence I just connected with the dreamscape and went about my seemingly normal day- namaste

I am not able to figure out for sure whether certain parts waking reality are caused by dream reality, or whether both are caused by another, yet unknown factor.

I am currently leaning toward the latter.

Here is why:

1. Certain precognitive dreams record the future. No choices are made in the dream.

2. Memory of the precognitive dream affects future choices.

3. The precognitive dream comes true.

4. I realize that the dream came true as a result of my future choices, which were dream influenced.

5. As a result of the circular causation, I end up with a chicken-and-egg problem. This indicates a probable cognitive error, as for best results one should not lean too much on any one part of the Münchhausen trilemma when reasoning things out.

On the other hand, sometimes I make an effort to make sure a potentially precognitive dream does not come true, and it doesn't. Perhaps this sort of situation means that waking reality is supreme. Yet in some cases a choice can be made in a dream, and that seems to influence waking reality. Yet it is possible that some third party influenced the choice in the dream.

In my own practical, working explanations, I've just called certain things "self-effecting causes."

I'm not sure how such self-effecting causes start.

God?

Angels/demons?

The Will or personal choice?

Deeper forms of the will, such as in the subconscious?

Some combination of the above?

This is a great thought, I'm trying to figure this out, too. This would be a kind of mental rehearsal. I've experienced certain successes with both techniques, e.g. preparing for giving a talk, but haven't managed yet to combine both. This would be so cool, like the holodeckish martial arts training in the Matrix.
