      Exclamation can you use lucid dreaming to plant hypnotic suggestions?

      I always find people asking how to use hypnotic suggestions to induce lucid dreaming, but i have failed to find anyone who has actually considered using lucid dreaming to plant hypnotic suggestions in order to benefit them in waking life

      the lucid dream world (regardless of where it takes you/looks like) is in effect your subconscious, correct? that state hypnosis people put you into, when attempting to hypnotise you is so that they can plant "hypnotic suggestions" into your subconscious, this then (in theory) causes you to slightly involuntarily change your behaviour as a result. so for example a person has a problem with chronic procrastination. a hypnosis plants suggestion e.g. "i am always working" this person who was once a chronic procrastinator is now a virtual workaholic.

      just type the "the rules of hypnotic suggestion" into google its a U.K. college website explaining how you can create affective hypnotic suggestions to change your waking behaviour from things you don't want into ones that you do, but on a subconscious level i.e. where it matters most.

      therefore if you use a hypnotic suggestion in repetition whilst in a lucid dream i.e. say the carefully formulated hypnotic suggestion whilst aware your are lucid dreaming, shouldn't it in theory be just as effective tool of hypnosis as that of a professional hypnotist if not more? i.e. you plant the statement into your subconscious and then lead your waking behaviour to involuntarily change/ be influenced by this (gradually becoming more powerful over time)?

      when i say "involuntary" i mean it is a positive way, like a strong urge to procrastinate (caused by your subconscious) is replaces by a strong urge to work/be productive. the urge in and of its self is in my view technically involuntarily. we would all love to sleep in all like to be lazy and relax all day. but in essence this is due to an urge that is sort of involuntary. the reason because we know if we gave into them it would cause us a lot of problems financial, job wise etc. so why not replace the urge with something more useful, like as i said earlier, with any kind of new productive urge that we want??

      do you have any thoughts or theories in the matter??

      Question 2:

      do you think it would be better for e person to phrase their hypnotic suggestion (whilst in a lucid state) with "I" or "you"

      e.g. "i am achieving all my goals"

      or would it be more effective to say (in lucid state) "you are achieving all your goals"

      I don't know for sure... but things that are suggested while you are in an altered state of consciousness can really take root. I mean just tell a well thought out conspiracy theory to a stoner and they are memorized. I think the question you pose is interesting because while Lucid you are very close to conscious... but conscious enough to differentiate outside ideas? Say i try to implant an idea in your head while you are lucid... would you hear the voice in the dream and go hey that's coming from somebody from the waking world, or would you think it was some other entity trying to give you information? What form would it take? Would it just be a sort of all encompassing voice? Like a voice in the head? would a person randomly appear to give the voice a face? Of course if you already knew going into the dream that I was going to do this I would think no matter what form it took you would figure it out because when lucid you are basically conscious. That is just my opinion... I would think one would be more prone to that kind of "inception" when in a regular dream because your mind isn't aware enough to know where that idea is coming from.
