A reply to the roll over on your side method I saw somewhere

Quest for Lucidity
1

Mods I just spent a half hour searching for this thread. Maybe you have a better idea of the title than me. It dealt with a technique where you, “roll over onto your side without using your arms or legs.” If you know the topic and it can receive replies please move this post there. Sorry for any inconvenience.

I wanted to report that I tried this and did not gain Lucidity. However my dream was even more detailed than usual, and longer. I’m using one of those wide ruled composition books for my Dream Journal and normally I get a page, two at most, per normal dream, anywhere from 2-4 normal dreams at night, typically 2 or 3, for a grand total of 2-4 pages per night. Well this time I ended up with 3 pages going on 4 for a single dream! Everything was even more detailed that usual, down to a spider on a spiderweb, the warmth of the sun, how inviting the water looked, etc. I’m pretty sure I was not Lucid, but I may have been right on the threshold.

So if you want longer and more detailed dreams this is how I used this (probably not as the author intended): I laid back, relaxed, did everything else the author said to do and just before I was ready for sleep I threw myself over on my side without using my arms or legs (very difficult to accomplish physically but I managed it.) I went to sleep and that night had this very detailed, long dream.

Well that’s all I have to report!

If you want better recall go to the store, buy a cheap composition notebook, personalize it with dreamy images and pictures of places you want to go, place it by your bed, and the moment you wake up record anything you remember. Just start writing, even if you have nothing really to write but a few images or sensations, or even if you have nothing to write at all. In this case just write down whatever words or images come to mind, and keep writing until the flow turns into a dream, which you then record, or the flow decreases and stops, in which case you are finished. As you write you will remember more, and as you keep recording your dreams you will recall more of them.

Alternatively you can use a voice recorder in the same way to record your dreams on waking. In this case get a cheap cigar box or something big enough to store your Dream Recorder in, then personalize that in the same way you would a Dream Journal. In this case you could even put in pictures of places you want to go or artwork that inspires you. Stuff you could thumb through before you go to bed, maybe even focus on as you drift off to sleep.

Hope that helps!
