hello mates.
i do this thing when i sleep sometimes when im aware im sleep. i can still hear the simpsons on in the bg but im fully asleep. im just sitting in this dark place. hearing the simpsons and alone with my thoughts.
because i use to do this and SP alot when i was a kid i learned to wake myself up.
but i tried to LD. i tried focusing on a location. or a thought. or to calm myself into a dream.
nothing. just dark.
what should i have done.
That sounds pretty strange, I’ve never had this myself but I’ve heard other people talking about it, a lot of people seem to say that they can use this almost like the constructs in the matrix, to “load” things up, other people i’ve heard say they get this after they’ve fallen out of an LD.
Like I say, I’ve never had it, but like with most things LD related I imagine that getting from there to a dream is more about belief and trying to ease your way in rather than trying to force it.
Sorry, probably not much help, I’m intrigued though, when you say dark place, is it literally like a dark room in your mind or are you aware that you’re just lying in bed?
im completely aware im in bed. and asleep
after 5 or so minutes a joke on the simpsons happened and i can feel myself smile. i figured going lucid from here would be as easy as walking through a door. and i figured it would be like loading things from the matrix. thats why i tried to focus on a place or thing in hopes it would appear in front.
i also for the record tried the standard matrix white room. thats the first thing i tried
any more advise or opinions?
