Instrument Induced Lucid Dream (IILD)

Alright so I spontaneously came across this technique. I'm familiar with some trances and states of consciousness that are felt just before an astral projection or lucid dream.

Before astral projecting, you are in a visual trance where you don't feel much of your body. You are visualizing and slowly shifting towards what was in front of you before you closed your eyes...you're "leaving your body and going into the environment".

Before WILD's, you are usually visualizing something and it slowly becomes more and more vivid. But if you don't have enough focus in these visualizations and especially no focus on your awareness, then it's going to be a lot harder to be in a lucid dream.

Instrument Induced Lucid Dream (IILD) is pretty effective, because in music, you are naturally spending a lot of energy and focus especially when it comes to designing your own melodies. In music, you are investing creative energy. You are remembering patterns of tones in your brain that resonate with you and sound good to you. When you remember these patterns of melodies, or EVEN if you are familiar with creating new music, and playing an instrument in ways that sound good, then when you close your eyes, you should be able to remember how to play the instrument, or at least what melodies you've created. You should easily be able to visualize it, you will either visualize your own melodies that you created in real life... OR right after "freestyle" playing an instrument, when you close your eyes and visualize you will be visualizing the piano keys, the guitar strings, or whatever it is, and you will want to press the buttons or strings in way you know would make an enjoyable melody. When you get into this, you will keep on continuing until you are completely lucid. The reason for this is that when you are designing your own unique melodies, you are dedicating so much focus and rhythm to create it. Directly after using all of your creative energy and focus, especially if you are fulfilled by playing the instrument, you will easily be able to focus on visualizations.

I hope someone finds this useful.
