Thread: Lucidity on demand

I read claude rifa's writings about two decades ago. Claude has passed away since but I guess you can still find most of his work.
what is a bit weird is that part of his work is in English, part is in French. the guy made some serious research about how the brain creates and modify "hallucinations" during dreams, and also played a lot with some hallucinogen molecules to study their effects.

I started to train to have controlled hallucinations but never really got the hang of it and gave up.
Also, at that time I was sometimes suffering from hypnopompic hallucinations, and those were coming more frequently when I was trying to "Astral Travel" which involved the same kind of techniques (I don't believe anymore that AT are anything than a certain type of LD, but anyway).
I think that trying to trigger hallucinations is dangerous cause I guess it can turns into (or reveal) skysophrenia troubles, or other mental diseases, so I'm glad I didn't push it too much.

Claude Rifat didn't speak about OBE or AT, at least in my memory, you should only refer to what he wrote rather than to what it is said on forums about his work, at least as a first step.
Claude de Contrecoeur: article index

A technique is developed here: Méthode d'induction d'hallucinations contrôlées
there was another guy that developed a technique for controlled hallucinations, Claude spoke about it but I can't remember his name.

Kaan thank you for pointing us in that direction. Hopefully it is a step forward.

On the contrary! What I said was simply a suggestion.
