Hypnotize yourself in a lucid dream?

**lucidpplz** · 10-16-2011 08:09 PM

I know that there is a thread just a couPle of places under this one, but I feel like the questions was not "the right one" in terms of what I'm about to ask, so here is my question; if I went into a lucid dream, and made contact with my subconscious, could I, for example tell it to concentrate on solving math problems when I'm presented with them, or could I tell it to make me think exercising is fun so I would be more motivated to do it, same for homework, or could I tell it to let me access my inner strength whenever I wanted, (I'm trying to be careful with what I put in that list because I know for sure that my subconscious can't change my real physical body) so is any of that or something similar to it possible, something that can truly "change" or "evolve" my mind to something better, thanks or all the comments in advance

You can try, it will take some time though but just try to access your subconscious, it might take a few lucid dreams because you'll have to be pretty focused, just try to "talk" to it, and see what information it has to "tell " you

So no scientific study?

Probably not. This sounds rather far-fetched for the majority of people (if you get what I mean), but I would definitely say go ahead and try it. I'd be eager to try it if it was possible.

The thing is I'm still new to lucid dreaming... So I wouldn't be the best subject for it, but I hypothesize that it would take multiple LD's to get it to work, you know, to keep reminding your sub conscious what you want until It is programmed into your brain, I think a good Idea would be for someone to make it an event in DV and record the finding of the more experienced dreamers, think about it, this could be a revolutionary discovery, I'm pretty sure whoever does all the work and gets it read by some big dream scientist (like le burge) would get something in return

I've got a bit of a busy schedule currently but when I get the time I might give it a try.

calvin and hobbes rep!
And I don't think so, you're pretty much just aware in a dream, so it'd really be like telling yourself to love maths when you were awake

Sorry to shoot down your dreams and hopes

i was thinking about this the otherday, i think it could work because your dreams are made by your subconscious, so your dream characters are your subconscious, so talking to them is like talking to your subconscious. witch is all hypnosis is.

Although awareness is the main feature, take into consideration the possibilities of lucid dreaming excluding the leisurely side of things. You're exploring your inner-self; you have the capability to realise things that you never would normally and program yourself to respond to certain situations accordingly. People can prepare for real life situations in a dream (I can testify of this from personal experience), so why can't they do what lucidpplz suggested?

The fact remains that your mind is 100% under your control - you simply have to know how to control it.
