Most people don't realize they've been dreaming until after they've
awakened and the dream has come to an end. Some people, however, are
conscious that they're dreaming. These people -- called LUCID dreamers
-- can literally direct the content of a dream, scientists have
discovered, deciding perhaps to talk physics with Einstein, woo and
marry a movie star, or assume the powers of Superman. <<These people can also
fuck Cindy Crawford, expose themselves to grandparents, fuck their best
friends girlfriends/wives, make love to animals etc>> For those who have
acquired the knack of lucidity, the benefits can be enormous: Lucid
dreaming gives one the chance to experience unique and compelling
adventures rarely surpassed elsewhere in life. These experiences can
enhance self-confidence and promote personal growth and
self-development. <<wank wank, I'm not so sure about those last few>>
By facing fears and learning to make the best of the worst situation
imaginable, lucid dreamers can overcome nightmares. Because recent scientific
studies have demonstrated a strong connection between dreams and the biological
functioning of the body, lucid dreams might facilitate physical as well as mental
health. And finally, because lucid dreaming allows us to tap the power of the
unconscious, it may also be useful for creative problem solving.
<<Well, think of it this way. You spend over a third of your life sleeping.
Or something like that. What a waste! But if you can spend that time
conscious, while still letting your body get the rest it needs, so much
the better! And if you can spend that time in your own little Universe where
*YOU ARE GOD*, it is worth the minimal effort it takes to achieve this state.>>

<<There are many books etc on lucid dreaming. This article, which I ripped
of, claimed to be a first of it's kind, and spent a lot of it's time kissing
the asses of two *great* psychologists. That's bullshit. I recommend
a book called Lucid Dreaming in Thirty Days by Keith Harary & Pamela Weintraub
and published by Aquarian ut I fear it is out of print. Failing that, the
techniques here are just as effective. The hardest part in lucid dreaming is
it's ease. It sounds hard, but if you believe it isn't you will be doing it
from the start.>>

EXERCISE ONE

A number of techniques facilitate lucid dreaming. One of the simplest
is asking yourself many times during the day whether you are dreaming.
<<An echo in a batch file, in your login script *IS THIS A DREAM?* works,
and you programing types could do a little TSR hwich butts in in DOS
to ask the same question. Watch out, *IS THIS A DREAM?* VIRUS is coming!!!>>
Each time you ask the question, you should look for evidence proving you
are not dreaming. The most reliable test: Read something, look away
for a moment, and then read it again. If it reads the same way twice,
it is unlikely that you are dreaming. After you have proved to yourself
that you are not presently dreaming, visualize yourself doing whatever
it is you'd like. Also, tell yourself that you want to recognize a
nighttime dream the next time it occurs. The mechanism at work here is
simple; it's much the same as picking up milk at the grocery store after
reminding yourself to do so an hour before.

At night people usually realize they are dreaming when they experience
unusual or bizarre occurrences. For instance, if you find yourself
flying without visible means of support, you should realize that this
happens only in dreams and that you must therefore be dreaming. If you
awaken from a dream in the middle of the night, it is very helpful to
return to the dream immediately, in your imagination. Now envision
yourself recognizing the dream as such. Tell yourself, "The next time I
am dreaming, I want to remember to recognize that I am dreaming." If
your intention is strong and clear enough, you may find yourself in a
lucid dream when you return to sleep.

<<True. One short coming of this artcle is the lack of material on dream
awareness. Please allow me to add a few notes.
When you realise you are dreaming, sit down, cross-legged, on the ground.
(This is in the dream of course.) Take a minute to stare intently at your
hands, bringing every line into strong detail. This will further your
awareness in this dream, making you feel more awake and any subsequent
experience will seem more realistic. Repeat whenever you start to lose
your awareness. When doing this, it is useful to mentally `affirm' that this
is a dream and you are the master. Sometimes, your head just fucks up, and
you can get a block and laser beams stop shooting out your fingers.
By reminding yourself that you're the king shit here, you can overcome this
and kill/fly/fuck till you do ejaculate. Speaking of which, I could tell
you some interesting things about experiments in lucid sex, like how
despite a young mans being involved in the greatest sexual experiance of his
life, no erection was noted by researchers, nor even an increase in heart rate.
No one need ever know..........

Often, in the bliss of lucidity, we forget plans we would have liked to
achieve in our dreams instead, we fly off, materialising and raping luscious
babes with wicked ways. If this bothers you, or if there is something you
would really like to accomplish, while awake, make a nice little list on some
special paper, so it's importance is realised (ie, don't use a shitty little
scrap, buy some!!!). Put this near where you sleep. Now. Read it often.
When lucid, after you have sat down to intensify your awareness, materialise,
in any way you like, this list. Cast a spell to summon it. Find it in a bottle.
Pluck it out of your rectum. Have a green imp throw it up at your side.
Whatever. Now, read the list. Don't worry. Even though this is a dream,
your subconscious has a copy of its contents, even if you've only read it
once. I hate to say it, but `if you believe you can, you will'.
This is an effective way of communicating with yourself from wakefullness
into your dreams.

The various methods to treat lucid dreaming are as such.
You can fuck the whole Universe, consciuosly control everything, who, what etc.
You can choose the location, people etc but let the subconsious control that,
you just look after you.
Or you can only control you, and go on a dream adventure, where everything is
unexpected as you explore your subconscious.
Of course, these are all great and you can flip between them, with ease, and
change any features at your heart's content. Most people opt for a combination
of all three.

Most importantly. Don't pressure yourself. It's only a dream. Don't get
frustrated if you can't do it. Don't be too strong in your resolve.

There are other things. Keep a dream journal. Spur yourself on with a partner.
But read a book to learn all that. This is just a taster.>>


EXERCISE TWO: DREAM FLYING

Many lucid dreamers report dreams in which they fly unaided, much like
Superman. Some lucid dreamers say that flying is a thrilling means of
travel; others, that it has helped them return from one of the more
harrowing dream experiences -- the endless fall. Flying is so important
because it's a form of dream control that's easy to master.<<But in lucid
dreaming, what isn't easy to master?>> It gives the dreamer an exhilirating
sense of freedom. And it's a basic means of travel in the dream world. During
the 2-week period of your experiment, try to focus on dream flight. If you're
falling, turn that fall into flight: Remember, there's no gravity in dreams.
And if you're simply going from here to there, do it with flight. This simple
activity will cue you in to the fact that you are, after all, in a dream.

How do you make dream flight happen at all? We suggest that before you
retire for bed, you simply repeat these words: "Tonight I fly!" Then,
while still awake, imagine that journey. If you find yourself flying, it
will be a clear sign that you are in a dream. In any case, when you
realize you're dreaming, remember that you want to fly. When you
actually feel yourself flying, say, "This is a dream." Make sure you
start modestly, by simply floating above the surface of your dream
ground. As you gain confidence both in the notion that you are dreaming
and in your ability to control that experience, you might experiment
with flying a bit more. Run, taking big leaps, and then stay aloft for
a few seconds, so that you resemble an astronaut walking on the moon.
Try sustained floating and then flying at low altitudes.

As your confidence increases, so will your flying skills. While asleep,
work on increasing your altitude, maneuverability, and speed. As with
speed sports, you should perfect height and maneuverability before
speed. Of course, you couldn't really hurt yourself -- it's only a
dream. But you COULD get scared. After you have become proficient in
dream flying, remember to ask yourself these questions: "How high can I
fly? Can I view the earth from outer space? Can I travel so fast that I
lose awareness of my surroundings and experience the sensation of pure
speed?" Throughout your efforts in dream flight, remember that you're
in a dream. With this in mind, your fear will be held at bay, and your
control over the dream will be greatly enhanced.


EXERCISE THREE: DREAM SPINNING

Even if you're a frequent lucid dreamer, you may not be able to stop
yourself from waking up in mid-drem. And even if your dreams do reach a
satisfying end, you may not be able to focus them exactly as you please.
During our years of research, however, we have found that spinning your
dream body can sustain the period of sleep and give you greater dream
control. In fact, many subjects at Stanford University have used the
spinning technique as an effective means of staying in a lucid dream.
The task outlined below will help you use spinning as a means of staying
asleep, and, more exciting, as a means of traveling to whatever dream
world you desire.

<<This works like the staring-at-your-hands-technique.>>

As with dream flying, the dream spinning task starts before you go to
bed. Before retiring, decide on a person, time, and place you would
like to visit in your lucid dream. The target person and place can be
either real or imaginary, past, present or future. Write down and
memorize your target person and place, then visualize yourself visiting
your target and firmly resolve to do so in a dream that night. When
following this procedure, it's possible that you might find yourself
visiting your target in a nonlucid dream; you will be aware that this
has happened, of course, only after you awaken. Nevertheless, you
should strive for lucidity by following the techniques outlined in
exercise one. Then proceed to your goal.

To do so, repeat the phrase describing your target in your dream, and
spin your whole dream body in a standing position with your arms
outstretched. You can pirouette or spin like a top, as long as you
vividly feel your body in motion. The same spinning technique will help
when, in the middle of a lucid dream, you feel the dream imagery
beginning to fade. To avoid waking up, spin as you repeat your target
phrase again and again. With practice, you'll return to your target
person, time and place. When spinning, try to notice whether you are
moving in a clockwise or counterclockwise direction.


EXERCISE FOUR: CREATIVE DREAMING

Up until now we have had little control over the occurrence of creative
dreams. But with lucid dreaming it may be possible to intentionally
access the creativity of the dream state. You can help determine the
feasibility of this idea by attempting to solve a problem in a lucid
dream. Before bed, decide on a problem you would like to solve. Frame
your problem in the form of a question. For example, "What is the topic
of my next book?" "How can I become less shy?" If you have an illness,
you might consider the problem, "How can I regain my health?"

Once you have selected a problem question, write it down and memorize
it. When doing the lucid-dreaming introduction exercises, remember your
question and see yourself looking for the answer in your next lucid
dream. Then, when in a lucid dream, ask the question and seek the
solution. You might be most successful at problem solving if you try a
direct approach. For instance, if your problem is health, try to heal
yourself in your dream. Then reflect on how your dream solution relates
to the waking problem. It may help to question other dream characters,
especially if they represent people who you think might know the answer.
You can even combine this task with the dream spinning and flying tasks,
visiting an expert on your problem. You can also just explore your
dream world with your question in mind, looking for any clues that might
suggest an answer.
