Lucid Dream Variation:
PWILDing (Passage or Poem WILDing)
I’ve had some problems with meditating and WILD attempts lately, and it’s always been because the counting was too easy for my head, I.E. I didn’t have to think or concentrate hard enough to carry it out, so I would eventually e thinking about the random pre sleep thoughts while still counting. The counting is still there, be it’s too overshadowed by the thoughts to be of any use. So, I thought, why not recite something in your head that could serve as a mantra, but was much longer than the single numbers. Something like a poem, or a passage.
I personally recommend this passage: clicknotes.com/romeo/T11.html
Not the whole thing, just the prince from 1.1.81 — 1.1.103
It’s starts with: Reellious subjects, enemies to peace.
I also rcommed Fire and Ice by Robert Frost.
Some say the world will end in fire;
Some say in ice.
From what I’ve tasted of desire
I hold with those who favor fire.
But if it had to perish twice,
I think I know enough of hate
To know that for destruction ice
Is also great
And would suffice.
/EDIT/ I made this a technique variation because I tried it a few nights ago and I stayed focused much longer than usual.
