Lucid Dreams and Audiobooks

**DocHoliday** · 11-06-2012 01:28 AM

So I have been wondering if anyone else has had any experiences with lucid dreams while listening to audiobooks. I go to bed almost every night listening to audiobooks. I typically have one or two lucid dreaming nights per week. I was wondering if anyone else has had similar experiences. Sometimes the audiobook influences my dreams but more often it seems to have no effect. Every now and again though it is part of how i attain lucidity. While I am in my dreams I can sometimes hear the audiobook playing word for word. It is interesting because this makes me become lucid. I realize that the narrator I hear out of the blue shouldn't be there and I realize I am dreaming. Anyone else have similar experiences?

I started a collection of audio tracks for just such a purpose - e.g.: People Can Fly in David Duchovny's voice.

I have over 22 hours worth of the Gateway Experience from TMI and part of the success, I believe, comes from this effect. Around 30 minutes of silence / white noise and then narration triggers lucidity.

I also sometimes spin the vocal trance channel from Digitally Imported during sleep and can hear the tracks in my dreams.

I have mixed feelings about Lucidity obtained from an outside source. I can use an audio book and it often triggers a start of lucidity, only to have the outside noise bring me to an awake state.

I typically listen to the just for entertainment purposes. I dont have any that are supposed to trigger lucidity or anything. Just standard audiobooks. And I often become lucid after waking up and shutting off the book too.
