Hello Baron-of-Hell.
-
Hello Baron-of-Hell. But you can call me BoH.
-
Ok BoH. Tell me, BoH, I have an important question to ask you. Maybe can you advise me.
-
I will try, my friend. What is this issue that seems to bother you at the highest point?
-
Well, each night, we have a lot of dreams, but most of the time they are just ND.
-
Hmm … What do you mean by ND?
-
Well you don’t know anything of the words used on LD4all? ND are normal dreams! Well I continue … We always have crappy ND where there are really morons and uninteresting things going on.
-
Yes, and what?
-
Well … Why don’t we realize more often that we dream? I mean … When we have already made several lucid dreams, whether DILD or WILD, why don’t we have more, like the “snowball” effect?
-
DILD … WILD … Speak English, will you?
-
Damn … DILD = Dream Induction of Lucid Dream / WILD = Wake Induction of Lucid Dream!
-
Yes, this is what I said, speak in English! We are in America here!
-
Well listen, I know you vote Mitt Romney (no offense 
), but this is no reason to force me to say “induced lucid dream from the waking state” instead of WILD!
-
Shut up, you’d vote Bush if he was alive! It’s not destroying McDonalds that will change the world …
-
Draw me a sheep.
-
Excuse me?
-
Uh I mean … Let us return to our sheep.
-
…
-
Well I’ll make a copy and paste of what I said and you did not listen. This is the last time I go on Schyzo-Talk. And in addition it is paid : 40 € per psychiatric consultation per week!
-
Yes you said?
-
I said: Why don’t we realize more often that we dream? I mean … When we have already made several lucid dreams, whether DILD or WILD, why don’t we have more, like the “snowball” effect?
-
But why do you want lucid dreaming at all costs ? Are you only thinking about that?
-
I think the ND are a waste. All that REM sleep per night … Can you imagine if all our dreams were lucid? This would be party every night! No more need to drink, no more need to take drugs …
-
You are an alcoholic.
-
Uh … Just to clarify: when I drink, you drink too, but anyway I stopped.
-
For how long?
-
Well are you doing it on purpose to change the subject every time BoH? Say it right away if you are unable to answer my ■■■■■■■ question!
-
Ok, if all our dreams were lucid, it would party every night, no need to drink or take drugs … But what’s the point? Sign up to a Yoga Nidra club and stop pissing me off!
-
No. And you still did not answer my question … Why is it so difficult to lucid dream?
-
If I answer your question, will you stop annoying me?
-
Yes I will 
-
You will let me back in your subconscious without calling me back?
-
Yes I will
-
Deal! I can’t believe that the conscious of Baron-of-Hell is that stupid when you see the extreme intelligence of his subconscious … The answer to your question is very simple, my friend. It is difficult to lucid dreams, because lucid dreaming is as an anomaly. Normally, according to the will of nature, our dreams are not supposed to be lucid. Normally, we do not know that we dream. If techniques for inducing lucid dream are so ineffective, it’s because they’re not really « techniques ». It is just small maneuvers to somehow hack a RN. Even by using these maneuvers, lucid dreaming remains and will always remain an anomaly, and that is why these operations only rarely work.
-
You … you … you mean that I will never be able to become a pro lucid dreamer?
-
You will become a pro lucid dreamer if you become a master of hacking.
-
But what piracy are you talking about, exactly?
-
From hacking your brain, of course! I’m talking about piracy, because I think that lucid dreaming is an anomaly.
-
Yes you have already said that.
-
If you hack a computer, it is to get something that you cannot get in normaly, right?
-
Yes.
-
Well if you hack your brain, you also get something that you cannot get if you don’t do anything special: you can have access to lucid dreams.
-
And natural lucid dreamers?
-
Their brains are pre-hacked. In other words, being a natural lucid dreamer is an anomaly.
-
The RC and WILD are hacking tools?
-
If I spoke in Chinese, would you understand better? Yes these are hacking tools! You will admit that the RC is not a natural behavior.
-
But …
-
Have you ever seen a cat do a reality check?
-
Well I don’t know… when a cat licks his paw, it may be trying to do the RC of the stuffy nose.
-
Very funny … The reality check is just a trick, nothing more. You check that you’re not in a dream, for example, turning a switch on and off, and if you do it regularly every day, you will mechanically end up doing it in a dream, because in dreams, we reproduce what we’re doing in reality. It is a trick, not a technique.
-
We can also say that this is a technique, right?
-
Holding Nose and try to breathe, you call it a technique? Then train yourself my friend! Maybe one day you will become an Olympic champion of nose holding! Maybe one day it will eventually pierce and you will be able to breathe through it, as if you were in a dream! And look at your hands? You call that a technique?
-
Well OK, you score a point.
-
From the beginning, I am scoring points. It must be 10-0 by now.
-
Stop lowering me constantly …
-
Shut up! Do not forget that I am your dark side. You do not you realize; this is very serious; I’m not supposed to be funny! If Master Subconscious finds out, he’ll banish me from your body and you will no longer be schyzophrenic!
-
Well at least that way I would never need to see my psychiatrist again.
-
Maybe, but what will become without me? It is thanks to my knowledge that Baron-of-Hell is a genius, and without me he could no longer post his collector posts on LD4All.
-
Oh!
-
Worse, he could no longer have lucid dreams.
-
OOOHHHHHHH! OK OK don’t be funny, do not be funnier! Draw me a sheep.
-
Yes, back on topic. You read too much Saint-Exupéry.
-
I’ve read it so much at school, I see sheeps everywhere, including in my dreams. It haunts me, you can not know how much. By the way where were we?
-
At the RC. I was explaining you that the reality check was not a technique, but rather a piracy tool.
-
Okay, but admit that you play a little on words there.
-
My friend, it is playing on words that make you become a writer! My lucid literature will soon be known across the America, maybe even the world.
-
Well, we joined megalomaniac-chat.
-
Let’s talk about WILD.
-
It is not a technique either?
-
Of course not! This is exactly like the reality check. People believe that falling asleep consciously require a technique. But not at all.
-
But I thought …
-
Falling asleep, you call it a technique? When you fall asleep at night, you need a technique to get some sleep?
-
Well, yes, I count sheep!
-
You’re a hopeless case … Well, even morons like you who need to count sheep to fall asleep do not use a technique. Counting sheep, you call it a technique? Well, I’ll summarize. When we fall asleep, we do not use techniques to fall asleep. We just do like animals: we lie and let ourselves overcome by sleep.
-
But animals do not fall asleep consciously.
-
Oh, you asked them? "Hi Fido, do you happen to fall asleep consciously? "
-
Watch out you start to be funny. A little more and I laughed.
-
Oh, thank you for informing me. Well, sleep is not a technique. WILD either! You know, WILD is not very different from the way you normally fall sleep. This is exactly the same mechanism. The only difference is that in the case of WILD, you remain conscious during sleep.
-
Yes, it understood that. But to fall asleep consciously, it is still necessary to use a technique, right?
-
No a technique, no. This is just hacking your sleep, find a flaw in the sleep that will make you aware of it. Trying to fall asleep consciously will only have little chance of success because it is not a natural process. It is not supposed to happen. Generally when you manage to do this is when you find a flaw, for example by finding a way to dive straight into REM sleep. You can interrupt your sleep for a while during the night, then try to go back to sleep consciously focusing on the next phase of REM sleep. This is just hacking your sleep, nothing more. This is piracy. This is why it is so difficult. In fact, it is a bit like a game of chance; you have little chances of success.
-
But OoOoOo?
-
Okay, do not get upset.
-
I don’t irritate me.
-
Then why did you screamed this shout of Tarzan?
-
I did not shout, I was just talking about OoOoOo, an old member of LD4all who could go to sleep at night consciously at will!
-
How did he do?
-
He focused on his acouphènes.
-
What is this insect?
-
This is tinnitus! Damn, are you sure you’re my Knowledge?
-
I am your Knowledge! It’s just that I do not speak French. Well, he focused on his tinnitus. It is a good idea to hack his brain. OoOoOo was just a piracy master, nothing more.
-
If you say so …
-
Yo! Falling asleep consciously is not a technique. It’s just a state of mind you need to show during falling asleep; in this case the concentration. You can focus on what you want: tinnitus, phosphenes, breathing, heart beat etc… Whenever the objective is the same: stay focused during falling asleep. Being concentrated is not a technique, but a state of mind. If you’re in math class and that you concentrate to be attentive and listen to your teacher, you do not use a technique for listening! The concentration is simply a mental faculty. In the case of WILD, you use this option during falling asleep, that’s all.
-
OK
-
And do not forget: trying to fall asleep consciously at bedtime, it’s like peeing in a violin to play the national hymn.
-
This sentence reminds me something … Is it yours?
-
Of course! You know I never cites others’ sentences.
-
In any case, OoOoOo pees really well! You should read his lucid dreams journal.
-
I don’t care about this madman. Okay, well I think I’ve been around the issue. If I summarize, it is difficult to lucid dream, because lucid dreaming is an anomaly; as it is an anomaly, we can say that it is never acquired. Dreamers can hack their system to foster lucid dreams, but they can never acquire a large mastery so to be lucid in all their dreams.
-
You forget that Tibetan monks succeed!
-
I have no interest in the monks of the Himalaya. We are in America here!
