      The COBRAS Method - Please check this out and tell what you think of it.

      Five minutes earlier to this post, i was googling to find a link between lucid dream and meditation.I then stumbled upon the Cobra method to induce LD. Anyone here think this may be a good way to induce lucid dream ?

      Here's the link : Infinite Minds - Lucid Dreaming - The COBRAS Method - How to Directly Induce Lucid Dreams

      Sounds more like "PILD."

      The statement below is the truth.
      The statement above is a lie.

      I think it sounds plausible. I would like to see a few tests done to see if focusing on that area of the brain actually stimulates it or activates it. I guess if there was a test with a few people trying this while hooked to an EEG, it could help to prove this technique works.

      Lol, if it is so simple to stimulate your brain, I'd rather directly stimulate pleasure center.

      I actually had done some research on this part of the brain in the past, and It does sound plausible. But how do you know if you are stimulating the exact section of the brain that you need to be?

      Would there be some mental exercises you could do to stimulate the DLPC?

      The author of the article hasn't said if it works for him/her. If it was that good you'd expect a footnote along the lines of, "Wow! I'm having a lucid dreaming five times a week now with this techniqe!"

      This is interesting, I have read about the dorso-lateral pre-frontal cortex being the 'lucidity centre' before as well (though I can't remember where) so this may be creditable.

      @Nina; pics or it didn't happen

      But seriously, did you do a tutorial because I would love to read that too

      Always, no sometimes think it's me,

      I think I know I mean a yes
      But it's all wrong
      That is I think I disagree

      I lol'd nina, very similar methods, but I have to say I've seen similar ones to yours before.
      It seems focusing on an area of your brain/body part can help induce lucid dreams.

      Edit: In my opinion Ninas thread is better, because it takes advantage of the waves/vibrations that you feel entering SP and using them to stimulate a greater effect.

      That's what wanking is man. Just because you are not focusing on your pleasure center (if there is one) that doesn't mean it isn't being stimulated. You send messages from your... whatever you touch down there to your pleasure center, which is then stimulated. If you are wondering about doing it without touching, then I think nina has another technique for that too.
