I'm trying to use the following lucid induction video: The video uses isochronic tones. The first part is meant to lull you into a deep sleep withthe isochronic version of delta binaural beats, eventually transitioning into a theta frequency. About 65 min. in, voices start saying, "This is a dream," "Perform a reality check," etc. My first time around, I think lost conciousness for a moment, then started hearing noises. I remember hearing a dog barking, a door slamming, and footsteps. I performed a reality check, but I was fully concious. I'm unsure whether these sounds were part of the video (unlikely), hallucinations, or real noises. I think the third is most likely because a.) I was only about 12 min. into the video and b.) I live in an apartment complex where most people have dogs. I've attempted this multiple times tonight. I think the problem is that the video is too short. I can't fall asleep quickly enough. If anyone has links to longer videos (on YouTube) that have worked for you, let me know.
I haven't been bothering with my Dream Journal lately because my dreams have been uninteresting and I never remember much. This dream was kinda weird. All I remember was being with some other people in a library. We came across this ride sort of thing. You would get on the back of a model MLP character (it wasn't an actual character, and I think I kinda knew that; it kinda looked like a dragon version of Fluttershy) and it would bounce REALLY high up in the air a bunch of times until it lost momentum. I woke up at about 10 in the morning, but I decided to go back to sleep. I was in the library again. Oddly enough, I remembered the ride when I saw it and ran up to it again. One of my friends from my old school was there and I flipped him off as I was bouncing. I've been watching a subliminal video for lucid dreaming (not from here; I can't download the ones from here), but it doesn't seem to be working yet. Then again, I haven't managed to fall asleep until an hour after I watch it.
