Possible new idea to become lucid?

**MysticalDipshit** · 01-17-2013 09:06 PM

So I just thought of this about 10 seconds ago because I have a song stuck in my head. I was thinking, what if you had the combination of a song and a mantra? You can get the song stuck in your head so you subconsciously sing along to it during the day, but the song is about lucid dreaming?

Maybe because you have been thinking about the song, the words or the tune appears in dreams? Or just saying the words over and over again sets an intention to become lucid. This is just an idea, and I would like any thoughts about it from you guys.

Also, does anyone know of a song about lucid dreaming? I doubt one exists anyway XD

This could work, but I doubt it would be the words actually getting you lucid, unless you really focus on them.
I did a similar thing, I drew a symbol representing awareness and made a rhyme to go with it before I went to bed everynight. It went like this
"1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8
three points of consciousness
now you are awake"

The symbol was a circle with eight point, inside that a triangle and inside the triangle an eye. The funny thing is it actually seems to work and the mere thought of the symbol gives me that feeling of waking up.

Franz ferdinand has a song called "lucid dream" but I don't know if it's the same.

Good idea!

Sounds fun as well and very useful since I walk around singing random things all the time

"I doubt one exists anyway XD" ...

Then you haven't looked for lucid dreaming songs! I'll give you some, but well all of them are not about lucid dreaming but you can use some of the lyrics as a mantra.

Right Where It Belongs- Nine Inch Nails - YouTube - Nine Inch Nails - Right Where it Belongs.
Song about Lucid Dreaming - "Land of Lucid Dreams". - YouTube - Funny Beatles Submarine remake (We are all living in a land of lucid dreams! xD)
Lucid Dreams - Franz Ferdinand - YouTube - Frans Ferdinand - Lucid Dreams
Owl City - Fireflies - YouTube - Owl City - Fire Flies

And I guess that will do for now, but you can always take a song you like to sing to and change the lyrics.

dutchraptor:
Your little rhyme kinda thing is sorta what I meant. Maybe because it was personal to you, and because you had created it, gave it a meaning and a purpose, any thought of that symbol immediately makes you think of something. I dunno. The song thing probably isn't even possible. It's just a random thought that I had like 1 seconds before posting the thread XD

I might make my own rhyme and symbol and see if anything happens. Probably wont do but I might as well check it out. If it works it would be a pretty good idea.

I used to sing along to the orginal beatles song (Some children's version) when I was like 7, so that lucid dream one is stuck in my head now XD

I'll see if I can find any good songs that I could change the chorus to, so that it is like a mantra-song.

Yeah, I think it is too much, especially since you do not like the song and is not one of those songs that are entertaining and it might be a bother to have to wear it all day. I just stick with the RC and thinking "am I dreaming?" every ten minutes so it is a habit.

This could work, though the problem with that is even if we see/hear something related to lucid dreaming in our dreams, it's not 100% chance that we will get lucid.

I had a number of dreams related to lucid dreaming, i even had dream where i was attempting to WILD, and they were non-lucid.
