Training Your Memory & Awareness

[SKA]

Okay what I've come to Realise is how Important the 2 factors Memory and Awareness are if you want Well-Remembered, Detailed , Vivid Dreams and Lucid Dreams. All of us here desire Lucid Dreams right? And if they aren't Lucid we would like them to at least be very Vivid, Magically Strange/Wonderfull and easy to remember right? The thing is that we only Remember having had Vivid Dreams or even Lucid Dreams when we are in a High level of Awareness while we experience these Dreams. When we are on a very Low level of Awareness we are sort of ''half-present'' in our Dream and fail to Really Experience and Remember That Moment. We're basically constantly going In and out of Consciousness, so you only half or sometimes completely don't experience it and needless to say you won't remember any of the Dream Experience, which you WOULD have had you been in a Higher State of Awareness as you Experienced your Dreams. The higher your State of Awareness is while you have a Dream the more and more you Experience it with great Detail, Continuety, Clearity and even Lucidity. I believe that about the absolute top of how high your State of Awareness can peak is Complete Lucidity in Dreams. Well as I was spending some thought on how important a General Good Memory and Awareness was to have either Lucid Dreams or Any Vivid & Memorable Dreams at all I thought: Aren't there simple, ''Easy & Practical to perform'' Tests and Techniques to Strenghten your Memory of your Recall ability in General? Aren't there any online-texts or Software with Mind Ability Training-techniques and Tests like that from Psychological institutes perhaps? I want to find out Good and Practical ways to Strengthen my Awareness too so I remember more of both my Waking and Dreaming Life Experiences. But first I want to Train my Memory's Recall Ability to Strenghten my Memory in General. I'll make a List of ways to Strenghten Memory if any of you people here know of any good techniques like this or have any suggestions for me on how to Strengthen my memory. Ways to strenghten your Memory: - - - Feedback would be nice.

http://www.hypnotica.org/Audio/Double_Induction_Hyp.mp3 try this induction. they have a Rapid Access Memory Pattern in there. I've noticed an effect on dreams if i listen to it once in a while. i've had more vivid dreams on some of the night's i've listened to it. and my memory of accessing specific information has improved greatly.

By far the mst Tranced out I've ever been from any technique or hypnosis. Now I'm going to bed. Wonder what that'll do after a joint, a cup of coffee and a hypnotic trance.

There's this one topic Billybob posted, about how to improve clarity of LD's. Alas, I am way too lazy to find it. I hope someone else does though.

Allright next experiment. This time I will not go as late to bed as I did with last of my 2 coffee & joinnts experiments. around 4:30. Now I will go to bed earlier, I have smoked 3 joints earlier today and now I'm smoking my 4th with a big mug of coffee. When I've finished them I will listen to this Hypnosis MP3 again. Last time it sent me mentally spinning; literally.

hey SKA, i was planning on doing a thread on this because i myself find it hard to increase my level of awareness in my lucid dreams, i've been thinking about these sort of aspects, in fact, so that everyone has some resources to go off, i'm gonna go now and design a sort of guide on building awareness and memory, i'll post it some time tonight, this should include links and stuff, i've had a few ideas that i really want to share that could help, i'll get this thread up maybe in the next hour or maybe tommorow, depending how much time i have, but i got some ideas that might help build your awareness and memory.

Vipasana ( Insight ) meditation helps your awarness, among other things. There are many variations of Vipasana, but I studied this one, and found it to be a very good technique: http://www.dhamma.org

The induction is pretty sweet.... About the memory thing... You might want to check out the prospective memory training section of EWOLD. It works pretty well.

I personally think thats a pretty strict philosophy, at least those courses are.
