Thread: Nightfeather's Workbook

Sounds good. Can you tell me more about those semi lucids you are having? One of the things that I find that enhances lucidity is to remind myself that this a dream. So, if you get one of those I-know-it's-a-dream-but-want-to-continue-whatever-scenario moments, take a bit of time and make a pause. Stop, affirm to yourself this is a dream and from then on, do whatever you would like to do in your dream, consciously.

I've got a problem with mantras. It's too boring, repeating the same words over and over again. Any advice?

What kind of mantras are you using and when? I have to say, the one problem I actually have with mantras is forgetting to repeat them. I've used a few over the years - mostly the "I realize I'm dreaming" one, but I also make a new mantra for each new task I want to do. For example, for this month "Music - hole - moon rock". Usually, the more I repeat a mantra, the more comfortable my mind becomes saying it. If you find it boring, then I think you should try to put more intent into it - think how this mantra is the bridge between your conscious mind and your unconscious self. You are using it to communicate with yourself. Intend it, feel how your unconscious minds gently starts to receive the message.

Another advice I have is to add some sort of a rhytm to it. You can even add an entire song. Pick any song and change the words to your mantra. Or simply come up with a tune and hum your mantra.
