Thread: Hello fellow hope to be Oneironauts

I agree with the whole meditation idea. Practcing WILD takes deep concentration. And not concentration in the sense of thinking about everything you do. But meaning you must concentrate on NOT thinking about everything you do, yet being aware at the same time. That might give you a little mind fuck, but that's what meditation is for: Un-Fucking the mind. I'm new to lucid dreaming as well, so I understand your frustration. Meditation will hopefully turn that frustration into pure energy of the mind, and give you the confidence to just fall into your dream state of mind

That was as interesting interpretation "Un-fucking the mind" I like it. xD It goes straight to the point.

Anyway another way to see how this now only is helpful for WILDing, but actually IS WILDing itself is the following:

Sleep is unconscious meditation, meditation is conscious sleep.

I didn't understand it before, but when you experience the meditative state for the first time and regain awareness of the physical world again after have being in point consciousness or nothingness, then you will realize that you were asleep but aware! Same with lucid dreaming, you'll wake up and realize that you was sleeping aware! The difference between point consciousness in lucid dreaming though is that in lucid dreaming you have your awareness and intention directed to something external, because the experiences of the dreams is by then experienced external by you, because it is in a sense your reality by then. How's that for a mindfuck! That is why meditation is a good state in between where everything is calm.

Namaste.
