There are three methods I use to get past life information. The first of course in the lucid dream because it provides the most vivid and detailed imagery, but as I have noted, it is also the most difficult for me to succeed at. For a successful past life lucid dream, the dream has to be very vivid with high awareness. For that I always use the WILD technique since it provides me with the best lucid dreams. I also use a cocktail of Galantamine and Choline since it prolongs the dream and increases my awareness. Once I become lucid I simply state out loud that when I turn around, I will be in a past life. This is what I used for the Napoleonic war past life. I have also tried stating that when I turn around, there will be a door that will lead to a past life. I have had maybe a 25% success rate with lucid dream methods because, like your example, I have often turned around to a blank scene or to something different. Once, knowing that I had a WWII past life, I stated that when I turn around I will be in the WWII past life. I ended up in my home town in the 1940’s instead of in France, where the past life took place. I then tried again and found myself in the middle of a bombing scene with building in rubble, but it only lasted a minute. I am trying to find a way to make this method more stable and to have a higher success rate.
The second and best method is the self-regression technique, but don’t be fooled by all these people stating that wonderful vivid scenes develop in their mind. The trick is to calm the mind and to leave our ego in the background. I have used regression self-hypnosis tracks found on youtube and surprisingly enough they worked quite well (I have made my own since). I found the trick was to disengage the mind and allow hypnagogic imagery to form. What is interesting, is that the hypnagogic imagery was always about the past life topic and very detailed (not random like typical hypnagogic images). I would then hang on to the image and see how it developed (about 5 to 10 seconds). By then my conscious mind was engaged again and so I returned to counting backwards to allow my conscious mind to drift to the background again and start to process all over. This could go on for 30 minutes to an hour. I used this method for the Napoleonic life and after about 20 sessions I had enough pieces of information to put the story together.
The third method is one I like because there is no interference from my conscious mind, but the message is in the form of a metaphor. If there is something that I do not understand or something I need more information on, I simply meditate before bed and ask the question. I then hold on to that question while falling asleep. I always wake up with the answer after a few hours and after a very vivid dream. The answer is in the form of a metaphor and it is often a story from my current life, but it is very clear and obvious. I also know I had the answer if the dream is so clear that I can recall it in detail the next morning without having taken down notes during mid sleep. If I wake up and have to struggle to recall the dream, I know it did not work.
So there you have it, this is the way I do it. The trick is to not allow the ego to take over the regression and I guess that is what's difficult to do in a lucid dream without waking or drifting in a non lucid dream. In my first such lucid dream, I had a guide with me and I simply followed him and allowed him to lead me. This may have allowed my conscious ego to take a back seat and made for a more successful past life experience . Who knows, you may want to try asking for a guide to help you.
