Thread: Acquiring Hidden Knowledge In Lucid Dreams

Greetings,

I recently found this site and am delighted that it has a research section. I'm going to be undertaking a research project in mid-May. The general idea is acquiring hidden knowledge in lucid dreams. I've read about how many well-known scientists, artists, and famous people have dreamed of their deaths, inventions, songs, etc.. Essentially, hidden knowledge.

Personally, I've had some dreams in this manner. One such dream is of the "Smiley Face Moon", which I dreamed the night prior to the sighting. The interesting thing to note about the dream is that at my geographical location in the world, the view of the spectacle was exactly like in the dream. Now, what would be interesting is to be able to actively acquire hidden knowledge through lucid dreaming, instead of randomly acquiring hidden knowledge by being a viewer through normal dreaming.

What I plan on doing is at least a sixty day trial of archiving and documenting my dreams. In the first thirty days, I'll be meditating one hour a day and exercising one hour a day. Also, in the video recordings I'll be including my sleep time for the day, quality of sleep, if I dreamed, feelings during the dream, diet for the day, if I encountered any Deja Vu for the day, and if alcohol etc. was involved. On the second month, I'll do the exact same thing as the first month, the only difference is that I will change my diet to raw vegetables, raw fruits, and grains. Hopefully, I won't lucid dream within the first thirty days, because I only want regular dreams for that part of the experiment. After the first thirty days, I will actively be pursuing to induce lucid dreams.

While I'm doing the experiment, I plan on taking melatonin. I've heard that it is good for inducing vivid dreams. How much melatonin would be a sufficient amount? I don't want to take too much. Would gel-cap be good for rate of release into the body? Also, have any other ideas I could use in this research or anything I've left out that would be interesting, or critical, to document?

Overall, it should be a pretty interesting experiment.



P.S. Any lucid dreamers ever try acquiring hidden knowledge in their dreams before?
