Well, well, well. . .
As soon as I stop trying:
This morning had the opportunity to try out concentrating on hearing sounds around me. I was atop a small mountain, some would say, hillside. I listened, intently... The strange thing is, as soon as I tried listening, the entire dream "came alive" I could feel the wind, cooling my entire body, I could smell the summer air, the grass around me, and I the sun, it got brighter and more uniformly lit the area around me, I could see for miles, green hills, etc.
What, you might say, does this have to do with sounds?! Well, I began to hear birds chirping! BUT, to my dismay, I think when I concentrate in my dreams I make my ears come alive in real life, there were birds outside my window, and chirping their heads off, as they do every morning. But I thought it slightly ironic that I was dreaming of a landscape that would most certainly include birds chirping, and for an instant, inside my dream, I thought I heard them.
Suffice to say, I was slightly disappointed by this experience (sounds part), that is. Other than that, though, I had a wonderful LD. Back to the drawing board...
I am thinking about wearing earplugs when I sleep, because I have very sensitive hearing when I'm awake, but also very selective, I can choose to concentrate on hearing things. I figure, if I wore earplugs to sleep, I wouldn't have to choose, anything I'd be hearing would be from the dream realm, not the real world. (hopefully)
The only drawback/danger I see in wearing earplugs to sleep is that if something did happen in the real world, ie. fire alarm, etc. I might be unable to respond quickly, and could end up injured, or worse. hmm
