Sun Sounds and dream inducement

[Tazenza]

I have experimented a little with NASA's Sun sound recordings. They are archived over at the Stanford University website now. I originally wasn't using them for research related to dreams but I noticed a large increase in dreams the same night if I listened to a specific one for about 10 minutes before going to sleep; (as a note, this was done on a larger stereo system with a sub woofer, and I haven't tried my expensive studio headphones yet). Among the other notable effects is after 10 minutes, most of the time I would have the "whole body vibrating" effect that a lot of people claim they experience when they enter SP (Sleep Paralysis). Here are the links to the Stanford site: The sun sound I use is here - http://soi.stanford.edu/results/all_modes_l_0_1_2.aiff This is the general page of the Stanford Sun Sounds - http://solar-center.stanford.edu/singing/singing.html

Thanks for sharing this. Now I'm itching to give it a try; I think I'll download the file and use it during WBTB tonight. When you listened to this, were you meditating or doing other things (like reading, etc.)?

When you listened to this, were you meditating or doing other things (like reading, etc.)? Your welcome, I usually just sit quietly with eyes closed, but have done eyes open as well. There are a lot more sun sounds that I haven't tried at the Stanford University site. Maybe we could get a group of experienced Lucid Dreamers and experiment with different sun sounds and techniques? I recently got serious about LD after stumbling upon CrazyInSane's awesome WILD tutorial here: http://www.dreamviews.com/community/showthread.php?t=87710&page=1 So I don't have a lot of experience to bring with me to experiment with. -Shaz

Maybe we could get a group of experienced Lucid Dreamers and experiment with different sun sounds and techniques? That sounds like a great idea. You can definitely count me in. When I was listening to some of those files earlier, I got the same feeling I get when listening to binural beats. I wonder if they're somehow connected?
