Hi this is Nicholas Newport and welcome to Lucidology 101:
“How to trick your body into falling asleep to quickly start having lots of OBE’s and Lucid Dreams without using any visualizations”
(00:19)
In a lot of OBE’s it’s really hard to tell what’s going on because every thing is going to be so solid and vivid and detailed that you won’t really know for sure if you’re actually awake or if your in an OBE. So, here in Part 8 we’ll find out how to basically take the RED PILL and do REALITY-CHECKS to figure out what’s going on and whether your in an OBE or not.
Lucid Dreams and OBE’s can be extremely realistic.
In fact a lot of times it’s very hard to tell if you’re actually awake or if you’re dreaming.
Sometimes they’re actually more realistic than waking awareness.
Sometimes after an OBE you’ll find that your physical sight is actually hazy and dream-like compared to the hyper-detailed realism of the OBE. For example, a lot of times your vision will have what photographer’s call “high dynamic range” or HDR. HDR means that there is a higher range between the bright areas and the dark areas.
HDR is anything but dream-like and you might not think, at first, that you are in an OBE because your sight has so much detail.
Your sight may also seem like it has more pixels than when you were physically aware. In fact, these OBE’s should be called high-band-width experiences because of all the sensory information that you take in. This effect is compounded when you use the timer-method that we covered in Part 7.
{Part 7 is post 77 in page 4 of this thread}
Remember that the hypnotic-fractionation effect causes you to hover on the awake asleep thresh hold when you enter and exit trance over and over. The first couple of times you wake up and fall asleep it is relatively easy to tell if you’re non-physical or physical because it’s kind of a sloppy cycle and you swing wildly around between awake and asleep.
However
As the hypnotic-fractionation effect kicks in, the cycles start to get tighter and tighter.
The OBE’s start to become more and more realistic, eventually, it can become very difficult to tell if your waking-up in your physical bedroom or if you’re in an OBE.
(02:12)
This is called a “false awakening loop” in which you think you wake up but you end up in an OBE then you wake up again and end up in another OBE. It may take a couple tries before you really do wake up in your physical bedroom again. This is because you’ve started to spiral off-centre toward a non-physical focus.
(02:33)
What you need is a way to know if you’re in an OBE to wake up for real. Basically you need a way to take “the red pill” this is called “a reality check” and not just any reality check will do. You need to do a “movement free” reality check so you can do it without disturbing your trance.
In fact you need a set of reality checks because there is no single, silver bullet, reality check which is 100% reliable.
Here are the 4 most effective, most reliable and easiest reality checks that you can start using immediately. The four checks are:
First: The “Blindfold Test”
The “Transparent Eyelids check”
“Overlaid Sight” and
The “Spoon Bending Test”.
(03:09)
First is the “Blindfold Reality check” this is the easiest reality check of all. All you do is put on a blindfold and relax into sleep. If at any time you find you can see the room through the blindfold then you know you’re in a subconscious dream environment and you’re looking at the dream version of your room.
The advantage of this is that it’s simple and requires no practice.
Secondly, once it works there is no doubt in your mind that it really did work.
Also, it’s an ongoing reality check it’s not some thing that comes and goes in an instant
So
Here’s a way you can use the “Blindfold Test” for free OBE’s that require exactly zero work. The fact is you probably are already having many spontaneous morning OBE’s but don’t realize they’re OBE’s because you don’t have a system to catch when these happen. All you need you need to do is get in the habit of sleeping with a blindfold on.
When ever you wake up and are able to see you would have just gotten a free OBE with out doing any extra work.
As good as the “Blindfold Test” is, it does have its disadvantages. For instance, you may find that the blindfold is distracting and that it is hard to relax with it on. If you tried this method I do recommend getting a padded blindfold in the $20 to $30 range because I find the cheap ones are too uncomfortable to be of any real use.
(04:27)
The second disadvantage is “exit blindness”. (…)
Ok Dream Viewers
This video goes till (9:50) or (7:10) before the car salesman spiel happens.
But I need to get a nice soft, padded blindfold first so I can have a go at the above.
I found this one using google search at “sleepbuddy” it costs $26:75 AUD and the ad reads:
“Dreamer Sleepmask” (The very best Eye Mask on the market). For a Limited Time: receive a free Carry Pouch with every Dreamer mask purchased.
The Dreamer is a long time favourite of many Sleep Buddy customers; liked for its style, super comfort and ability to block light. The fabric that rests over the eye area on the face is plush, fully breathable, 100% cotton interlock padding. The masks feels great when on like it is custom made. The unique design of the dreamer allows it to block out the light with minimal pressure on your eyes. Perfect for day sleeps, travel or getting that extra couple of hours sleep once the sun is up.
I will let you Dream Viewers know when it arrives and how I go using it.
~3pm here (Monday 23-May-11)
My blindfold just arrived
A post man just delivered my "sleepbuddy.com.au" Dream Mask.
It is 10 am Wed 1-June-11 here in Adelaide, South Australia.
It is the first day of Winter.
I am so excited.
I feel like immature SWAN in that song:
There once was an ugly suckling
With feathers all shabby and brown
And in every place
They said to his face
Hiss, Hiss,
Get out of town
Hiss, Hisss, Get Out
Hiss, Hisss, Get Out
Hiss, Hisss, Get Out of town.
BUT
All through the winter-time
He hid himself away
Ashamed to show his face
Afraid of what others might say
All through the winter time in his lonely clump of weeds
Till a flock of swans spied him there and very soon agreed
YOUR A VERY FINE SEAN INDEED.
I am gonna practice hard all through the winter time of 2011 and by the
"Australian Spring Racing Carnival"
I will be able to leave my physical body at will and stand beside it.
Then I'll be cool
And
The IASD Main Forum
Will Unbann me.
