Thread: Looped audio induction method

Hi everyone,

The best lucid-dream-induction method I've discovered for myself is simply to play a looped audio recording at my bedside throughout the night. I downloaded a free audio looping app for my smartphone (there were lots to choose from) that allows me to make a short audio recording and play it on a loop. So, for example, I'll record something like this: "rrrrocketrick, you're dreaming; do a reality check." Then I'll play that all night at a good volume. When I dream, the recording often enters my dream in some way. (Often one of my dream characters will repeat my induction recording or some distorted version of it. I once saw a face poke out of the floor and say it in my own voice.) I don't usually become lucid when I hear the recording, but I do so more often than using other methods so far. The hardest part seems to be to identify a recording that I hear clearly in my dream and respond to. Typically, my dream distorts it so badly that I lose the prompt to lucidity. You'll have to experiment to find something that works for you. I've also tried to induce specific dreams with some little success.

I'd like to hear from anyone who tries this method--especially anyone who has ideas for how to improve it.

Oh, and it's the LAIM method just by accident.

Good luck!
