Getting smarter whilst sleeping ???

when sleeping is it really possible to take in information (headphones, casette player) and then know it??? … I read this in a meditation book : Tantra meditation , im curiouse
:neutral:

That’s what they say. That’s why people always listen to hypnotizing tapes when their asleep, to get them to lose weight or stop smoking or whatever. Personally, I don’t think it would work too well, at least not on most people, but that’s just my opinion. You never know though. Maybe I should try it some time. “I WILL have a lucid dream, I WILL have a lucid dream …” :grin:

Has anybody heard of “Flowers for Algernon”?There was this part in the story where Charlie sleeps with a TV listening to information all night long.He wakes up smarter because of an operation on his brain.

Of course if you wanted to to have LDs why not have a cassette player be saying,“I am dreaming,I am dreaming…”

hmmm… If this is true I’ll never have to miss parties to study! :alien: sounds good to me, but I really don’t see me getting to sleep with the periodic table of the elements in my brain. Maybe you could make an obscure tape that just said ‘elephant, elephant…’ and you could use it as a RC trigger, if you see an elephant, do an RC

the best storage unit you will ever find is your brain and the best way to find the information is in your subconscious mind.

This i why during waking you may have trouble remembering things like what someone from an old school looks like, yet in your dream you remember them perfectly. The subconscious seems to have a directly link to long term memory engrams in the brain…

The method of using tapes while you sleep is in effect putting information into file storage without looking at it, you will be able to access the knowledge when you sleep but unless you can relax during the day to access that info (meditation) it will remain in the subconscious mind and thus be little use to you in waking, but as its in the subconscious using subliminals to help you achieve a goal can work.

Could somebody try this (sorry im too scared itll screw something up up there). Just get a tape recorder, ear phones, and dictate into it the table of elecments. Like the element name, then its Letter. LIke “bla bla is bla, bla bla is bla”. Post the results :smile:

So…anyone gonna try?

once i fell alseep with the tv on and in the morning i got the urge to buy certain items (i won’t say what)

but as for trying it purposely no. I just can’t get to sleep with that stuff playing, i’m already messed up so no worries there :wink:
