Thread: Instant Lucid dreaming?

Thanks. I meant to say that 'I've done it in the past' ... I got sick recently, so I had to stop again. I'm giving myself a few weeks to strengthen my immune system before going polyphasic again.

IMO, the reason I get a lot of LDs like that is because polyphasic sleep averages to the same proportions of the different stages of sleep as monophasic sleep. Just not in one nap.
So you might have one nap where you're out like a light, and other naps when you dream almost all the way through it.

So, because you didn't go through 60 minutes of delta sleep, it's easy to be lucid in a short nap consisting of mainly dreams. You weren't knocked into unconsciousness. Basically
WILDing is just easier like that.

LucidDreamGod: WILD into the nap. i.e. have a nap without losing consciousness.

i cant remember when i couldn't lucid dream TBH. from a young age i could imagine complex things in my head and monipulate them. i can now lucid dream while consios and controlled. although it isn't quite the same as its more controlling possible outcomes of situations in my head. and all this at the tender age of 15

If you haven't tried ginger root for strenthening your immune system, you might want to look into it.

As long as I have ginger root every day, I never get sick, no colds, nothing.

You can put it in just about anything, and for me it works much better than using garlic ever did, plus there is no smell.

I buy it at the grocery store and put a chunk of it in some orange juice I mix up in the morning with an orange, some frozen strawberries, and some sweet and low.

I've also learned to make a candy out of it that I snack on, by cutting up a bunch of it and mixing it with corn syrup in a powerful blender that I have and then letting it simmer on a stove for several hours until the corn syrup crystallizes and turns chewy. This is a little tricky though because if you heat it too long it turns hard as a rock, and then you have to add more corn syrup and heat it again to get it softer. The main problem with this is that it's a little fattening because of all of the corn syrup, but it sure tastes good.

You're an asset to the lucid dreaming community Placebo, so I wish you the best of health.

Thanks for the tips and the flattery () - my wife sometimes spikes my rooibos tea+lemon+honey+whisky with some crushed ginger powder. But I've been avoiding it due to the taste

Is powdered ginger gonna give me the same kick, do you think?

Yes, it may be a little less powerful than fresh ginger, but should still work. Just make sure you add some kind of sweetener so you can get it down.

Ginger has a sort of a burning flavor and is very strong, which is probably why it is so effective at building up the immune system, as it probably just destroys any kind of germs that get in its way.

The only side effect I've ever experienced from ginger was a while back when I was putting some really large pieces in my juices, I developed sort of rash on the top of some of my fingers. It took me forever to figure out what was causing it, but I finally traced it to the ginger. I guess it was producing so much heat in my body that it was causing a heat rash on my fingers. Powerful stuff, that ginger.

Hmm, I might get some glazed ginger as well then. It's a good excuse for a sugar treat

What got me started on the ginger root was that I bought some crystallized ginger root at the health food store which is probably the same thing as glazed ginger, because it is loaded with sugar. You need to have something in it to be able to get it down.

I liked it so well that I bought more, and then I noticed that as long as I was snacking on the crystalized ginger I never got sick. And if I would start to get sick I could start eating the ginger root candy and knock it out in no time.

But then my health store closed, so I began experimenting with making my own ginger candy using ginger root and corn syrup.

After having my wife chip a tooth off from a batch I made that was too hard, and myself knocking off a couple of caps on my teeth that I had to have glued back on from batches that were too chewey, I have finally almost got it perfected.

So yes, you may be better off just buying some of the crystalized ginger root at the store, although putting a chunk of ginger root in a fruit drink or even a protein drink also works really well, and can be done using much less sugar than you will find in the crystallized ginger root since the fruit will provide a lot of the sugar needed to drown out the strong ginger root flavor.

Here's to Placebo's health.

Hey Placebo, how do you ever manage to schedule polyphasic at 23 minutes at a time? You got a sugardaddy paying your bills, or what?
