I’m wondering whether the SC can be contacted and/or manipulated in lucid dreaming for beneficial WL effects? I’ve read the subconscious is a very powerful force that commands many aspects of life which the conscious mind can’t be bothered with. For example the development of dreams.
To be precise, I’m hoping for something as subtle as being more calm in WL, or as life - changing as being disgusted by junk-food while enjoying healthy food (you know, stuff like fruit, salads and whole wheat bread, all of which sap my will to live whenever I eat them).
Actually those things you mention sound like conscious things to me. Perhaps not a choice exactly to be disgusted by certain foods, but still. Think about it! If you knew something disgusting about fast food, you’d find it disgusting. For instance, how much trust do you have for the burger flippers? Aren’t they spitting in your food, neglecting to wash their hands? Isn’t it inevitable to come across this type of disgusting crime?
As for healthy foods. try using spices maybe?
I see what you mean and I’ve considered such techniques. However, I’m positively addicted to “junk-food” and as long as it tastes good and doesn’t kill me, my body/subconscious will ask for it in a very forceful way. That’s why I need a drastic solution. As for spicing up the good stuff, well, if it tastes good it’s not healthy, and I will eat too much of it.
Have you considered using lucid dreams to satisfy the urge for junk food? Just dream about eating all you want to eat. Then you can eat healthy food when awake, and junk food in your dreams. To the brain, a dream burger should be just as good as a real burger, as far as releasing dopamine goes. I think that it would certainly be easier than programming your brain anyway.
I have food dreams in most of my dreamsk, it’s GREAT.
This morning in my dream, I was at the mess hall of my former school, and I had picked a plate full a pastsa (normal pastas mixed with spaghettis). It was delicious !!!
In older dreams, there would be 3 hamburgers (McDonalds) waiting to be devoured.
There would also be a BIG piece of steak.
In other words, my food dreams are totally awesome, my sense of smell and taste are incredibly whetted.
Note : I’m always hungry in real life.
not sure if this is what you’re talking about but it would be pretty nice being able to taste a cola when I’m drinking a glass of water. No idea if it would be possible or not.
I believe it is possible to communicate directly with parts of your subconcious, manifested as characters in dreams. Just find them and negotiate with them. See if anything changes.
