this morning i had a streak of 7 or 8 LDs by converting all the consecutive FAs to LDs. i think i figured out the right way but it may not be entirely new, you may already know, but i still like to post.
when a lucid dream fades, you first enter a void. people call that by so many names.and one LD book author called it limbo land, giving a special significance to that state.
then you awaken in a dream body in a dream resembling your bedroom(called a FA). thinking that you awoke in real, you open your dream eyes. that triggers opening of your real eyes as occular muscles are not paralysed in REM. you awaken, losing the opportunity of converting it to LD.
so,
1.as you find yourself wake up, never ,never open your eyes.
2. wait for a while, the vision will restore showing you that you are seeing with closed eyes and you are, indeed dreaming.
3.if the vision does not restore, imagine your hand moving towards your nose. dont actually move it, just imagine it.your hand will react so fast that it gives you illusion that you woke up and actually moved your hand.
4.persist and make a nose RC. you will know you are dreaming.
5.if the hand does not move by your will or imagination, move it actually towards your nose and a make a nose RC (you are moving your dream hand). remember during all this duration your eyes are closed watching darkness.
6.if the nose RC fails( unlikely but may happen), dont panic. keep your closed and move out of bed your vision will return in a while without having to open your eyes.
7. if you are still in doubt that you are deaming, make a few RCs. whenever you get a genuine doubt about your present state, you are , indeed ,dreaming.
actually, when you have the first FA, your vision will restore by simply not opening your eyes and by waiting. the points that i described are stages that occur when you keep turning FAs into LDs consecutively. brain tricks you even more.
but what happens, when you actually wake up(including just for clarity)
- your vision wont restore and you cant imagine your hand moving to nose without actually moving it, and yournose RC fails.
never think that you certainly woke up. you cant be quite sure even after a streak of 6 FAs.
Nice idea though.
