I was browsing around some threads here and some mentioned listening to binaural beats to induce lucid dreaming. I made a playlist on youtube that was about 5 hours of these beats. My boyfriend was already passed out when I started playing it. As I gradually fell asleep, I told myself over and over that I was going to do a reality check (Mantra).

I was very aware throughout my dreaming. My dreams were very real seeming. It was strange because although I knew I was dreaming, I was being careful to make sure I was fully asleep before I started the reality checks. After a bit, I finally reminded myself to look at my hands. I looked down, and they were hard to focus on. They were all squiggly and moving around (kinda like the animation in Waking Life).

That's as far as I got. I stared at my hands for a while, but I knew once I broke away from my gaze I would wake up. So, I woke up, looked around the room then passed back out. I started dreaming vivid again, beats still on. Thought about doing a reality check. It felt like so much work and I was so tired I felt like I wasn't getting any real sleep, so I woke back up, turned the beats off (they were about 4 hours in) and called it a night.

I have been lucid before randomly, but have never actually TRIED to become lucid. It's crazy how being aware in your sleep, and trying to be lucid, can be so tiring.

I Always wake myself up when I am lucid, they never last very long. Guess I need more practice.



I told my boyfriend about the Binaural Beats this morning. He was shocked because he said he had very intense vivid dreams.

Binaural Beats worked for me.
