Keep that corpusmeat away from me! anyways.. I'm Ryan... im not really new new here- i've been lurking for a couple of weeks now... but i've finally decided to actually pop my head in and say hello I suppose i should say something about myself.... I'm a visionary. I've been studying and experimenting on the human mind for several years now, and I have discovered that many incredible things can be done with it. Anywho, until I read this site ive never even thought about consciously LDing... it brings up a whole new set of ideas i have based on hypnosis... anywho im really just droning now so i'll shut up and wait for someone else to say something

Hi, welcome to the community proper! I too have looked into the human mind for a few years, and I have found it can do the most incredible things. Feel free to PM if you want to discuss this... Anyway, care to discuss your theories on hypnosis?

[nayrki]

Certainly! My personal research has been on a form of text-based hypnosis, which i rather discovered when i got bored of my AP Physics test a couple of years ago. What i've discovered is that writing things/stories in the second person (you) with extreme imagery, and a smooth lead in, can be used to open up the mind to allow written ideas to be implanted into the subconscious. This is because as the reader becomes engrossed in the story, since it is written in the second person, the reader naturally imagines the story/writing very vividly, and in first person. This allows the writing to more directly enter the subconscious than other points of view. I personally believe that this can potentially be used to add artificial memories into a persons mind, when used over an extended period of time (such as that of a novel). However. more relevant to this forum, this could be used to mentally train a person to Lucid Dream in a shorter period of time than it would take normally, just by reading a few pages of properly structured text. Furthermore, it may also be used to train for other related things, such as dream control. The beauty of Text-based hypnosis is that it doesnt feel as absurd as standard self-hypnosis, and it is easier not to get distracted or to give up, because its just reading something that someone else wrote

Very very interesting stuff Nayrki. The reason I asked was because I am quite into hypnosis, and have used it successfully as a sleep aid. In fact, the hypnosis MP3 used your technique of telling a story in the second person and embedding NLP commands into the story. Maybe this is something you could incorporate into your method. If you ever turn this into something such as a document, PM me with it and I'd be a willing guinea pig as I think this has a lot of very interesting applications!
