- 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.
