The Extravagant Induction Technique
Introduction:
I have gotten quite a few PM's about the technique that is shown in my signature. "What's that technique in your sig?" "Can you explain that technique?" "Does that technique really work?". So am now here to explain just exactly what the technique is. I would also like to note that this technique since perfected has worked 100% of the time for myself. Results may vary of course.
The Technique:
So what is the VWTPIWBTBILD or the recently added VWTPISIWBTBILD? Visual-Wild-Thought Provoked-Immediate-Wake-Back-To-Bed-Induced Lucid Dream, or the newly modified but was to long for my sig Visual-Wild-Thought Provoked-Incense-Sound-Immediate-Wake-Back-To-Bed-Induced Lucid Dream.
In a nutshell it is several Induction Methods combined into 1 induction method. What is the point of this? Say you aren't good at a given method or a few methods work okay, but not all them. This solves some of these problems by combining them all into one and better yet they can all be done at the same time and it's quite easy to do.
The Process:
- Immediate Wake Back To Bed - what you are going to do first is set your alarm clock to go off 5 hours after you have fallen asleep. Now this is the most important step in the entire process so make sure you do it. After you have done this all of the other steps proceed afterwards.
To make things easier on yourself and make the chances for success higher you could have the next few things set-up already so that you don't have to keep yourself awake for to long afterwards.
In this processes perfect form you should be back in bed within 1 minute and get in a comfortable position and attempt to sleep while performing the following. - Visual - This is basically closed eye visuals or hypnagogic imagery that may appear, but will more likely be more dependent on the individual to create Visual Images with their eyes closed.
- Thought Provoked - This is you keeping your mind on a subject or affirmations whatever floats your boat until you are on the verge of sleep. While Affirmations can be used I would not completely suggest them instead I am going to explain the "Subject" part of this technique.
Ex. The World is a very broad subject and can contain many things having to do with it. Animal life, science, math, human, morals, atmosphere, clouds, etc. What you want to be doing while falling asleep is think about a subject and the many aspects that can go along with it. I noticed that with affirmations you may become bored saying the same thing over and over and over again. This rids you of that problem allowing you to pick your own topic of interest and then expand upon it keeping your mind aware and somewhat interested until you fall asleep. - Wild - In the way that I am using it means get comfortable, stay still, and do Steps 2 & 3 while doing so. Some people have asked if you have to lay on your back while attempting to do a WILD the answer is no. What you should be doing is get yourself into a comfortable position that you can easily fall asleep in. For me it's on my side or on my stomach with my head looking to side. Once you have gotten comfortable "Do Not Move If It Can Be Avoided". If you have a scratch itch it then put your arm back where it was or where it's comfortable and keep still.
If you move depending on how much you do so it will defeat the purpose entirely let me give you an Ex. using percentages.
Ex. Say your body is 70% asleep, and you get a itch on your nose. If you leave that itch it will probably become worse causing your thought process to become distracted you losing focus and worsening what you are trying to accomplish. So you reach over and itch your nose and put your arm back this will bring you to about 63% of your body being asleep. But for instance if you roll over, bend your legs, move your hand under your pillow, and bring your other arm up close when you are at 70% this could bring you back down to 15% now that might be an exaggeration but it still applies if you can stay still do so. - Immediate Wake Back To Bed - Now that I have explained the other aspects to this technique it's time to throw them all together. Your alarm goes off 5 hours after you have gone to sleep. You get up or wherever your alarm clock happens to be and shut it off. Then you go back your bed right away (If you have to use the bathroom or get a drink do so as this may disrupt you while you are trying to sleep). Once you have gotten comfortable choose a subject and begin to think about it and things having to do with it to keep your mind aware. While you are doing this it would be best to create images or little "Movie Clips" (I.E. moving scenes) within your mind to aid in the process of keeping yourself aware.
Another bonus effect of the subject matter and the Visual images is that if you do in fact succeed the dream in which you enter will most likely be that of what you were visualizing or thinking about. Continue to do this until you experience the normal sensations of a WILD and you will have succeeded.
The Modified Process:
The modified process as said above includes the use of sound/music to assist you. If you do not like listening to white noise while you are trying to fall asleep by having some low volume music playing this can aid you in your attempt. I would suggest mellow music that's easy on the ears and easy to fall asleep to. I know classical may not be your cup of tea, but that's the kind of music. You can play metal or whatever floats your boat, but make sure that's on a very low volume so that it does not impede the process. It would be ideal if you already had the music setup to go when you wake up after 5 hours so all you have to do is hit play and then you are good to go.
The theory behind the incense is that the smell of a incense can be paired with memories or thoughts as well as making your more relaxed etc. For instance if you were to burn the same incense every time you read about lucid dreaming, or dreaming in general than your brain according to the theory would apply that smell with the thought or idea of dreaming. So when you went to sleep at night if you had that same incense burning your Subconscious could pick up on the smell and unknowingly begin to think about dreaming.
The two of these would be going on at the same time in which you are performing the Immediate Wake Back To Bed process.
Conclusion:
This is how the technique that is shown in my signature is done. Like I have said this works 100% of the time since I had totally fleshed it out for myself. Others have said that it has helped them as well. If you have any questions feel free to ask.
