I remember hearing a podcast about Lucid Dreaming, a woman tells you how to increase your conciousness in dreams, you lie on your bed with your eyes open until you fall asleep. Well when I did my LD, I did normal Autosuggestion but I remember doing it really half ass’d saying it twice then just lying there looking at the ceiling thinking about things that had happend during the day, next thing i knew i was in a dream. It felt weird and All of a sudden I wasn’t tired, that’s when my dream begun and I became instantly Lucid, I was really aware of what was going on.
I’m going to start trying this way out every night, It could be a new method, or a mix of two.
Your thoughts on this method would be truly helpful because I can’t find anything about it on the internet.
Well after trying last night, i think I must of closed my eyes and fell asleep so I believe I failed. Since i’ve only ever done this tech once, it coulda just been luck or the circumstances just happend to be right, but I’ve decided to write a little small guide on how to do it.
1.)Well, there isn’t much preparation needed, but try to have something on your mind that you could think about for quite a while, like what you did today.
2.) Go to bed, once you’re comfortable simply say “I’ll have a Lucid dream” a few times (1-4 times) in your head
Optional
Now at this point, you need to get really tired. if you didn’t have much sleep the other night then you will probably drop off very soon. But if you’re rather awake (not trying to be sick or anything) you could try masturbation as that is a way to fall asleep very fast.
3.)Now, once you’re tired, lie back facing upwards. Don’t strain your neck, just lie normally.
4.)Our main objective here is too fall asleep with our eyes open. Just simply lie back with your eyes open, you can blink if you need to, but keep them open. After a while, they should get tired and will want to stay closed. Just keep them open, but at the same time, try to daydream. Think about what ever you want (preferably lucid dreaming as it could help the Autosuggestion that we did at the start).
5.) During your daydreaming, you might slip into a trance where you think about something so intense, if you are really tired your body has probably fell asleep
6.) Well, what happend to me here was that I was in a dream, but I thought it was still real. So while doing this tech, keep an eye out for anything unsual, because you might of slipped into a dream without realising it.
7.) Now you’re in a dream, you should be instantly Lucid. Since you fell asleep with your eyes open, you have more of a hightend awareness in the dream & you used Autosuggestion. Do a reality check just to make sure.
I’m not sure if this method actually worked, It was by pure chance that I did this and I remmeber just suddenly being in a lucid dream. The only factors that I didn’t mention that were present in what I did was that -
.I was hot
.I didn’t sleep with any covers
.It took me around 45 minuites to sleep
I’m going to be testing this method every night, I’ll post back giving results.
