Thread: Verbal commands in LD's - also a sleep tip!? (Prob silly!)

OK so had my 4th LD in 8 days last night...

It was great...as always! Was in a car that I couldnt stop - was no driver and hand brake didnt work. Then I realised I was dreaming so I climbed out of the window and flew along side the car but I couldnt keep up with it. After flying high into the air and not being able to super speed fly, I landed. I was looking around and the dream wasn't too clear. It wasnt fading but wasn't the clearest so I tried my 1st verbal command (apart from summoning someone which I did last week) and said out loud

"Higher lucidity"

In an instant, the dream became crystal clear and I was so amazed! It was so real that it started fading very quickly so i span on the spot saying "I'm dreaming" and I could feel myself waking up and also going into another dream. When I opened my eyes I was in another dream and i still knew it! I was going to let the dream take its own course to see what my subconcious was going to throw at me but I was so aware of what was happening, that my mind must have made me wake up!

Anyway, the tip:

I've noticed that when I awake from an LD, I am always sleeping on my back, face up. I normally sleep on my side, and dont remember waking up on my side after LD'ing. What I am saying, no matter how daft it sounds, is that maybe when your head is straight, the fluids in your ears are level and could affect your mind somehow? Just thought I'd let you know.

Thanks for reading this rather long post

Interesting.. but if it was that easy, everybody would be able to have LD's.. lol

I dont mean that just because you sleep in that position, that you should LD all the time...! I'm just saying that perhaps you have clearer dreams and it may help you dream and induce LD's more frequently.

This morning I woke up in that position and I'd had some very clear dreams last night (not LD)
