Lucid Dreaming 10 day course review, with notes on Time Travel (TT) training with lucid dreaming. Part 2
Day 4: Reality Checks
a. With the
realization that you are dreaming, comes consciousness.
And this presence of mind allows you to take control of the dream.
b. Make it a habit; perform 10-20 reality checks spread out through the day.
c. Goal is create this habit to signal your in a dream state.
TT note: It's been reported/commented that in a dream state, technology is "off", i.e. two clocks will not show the same time. Taking this a step further could a prospective Time Traveler use a dual-time watch (there are some really cool looking dual time watches - for pilots) or wear two watches. "Excuse me are you a Time Traveler or just selling stolen watches?"

Use of a REM detector (Smart Lucider) should also assist in this (dream signaling).
Day 5: Hypnagogia
a. Hypnagogia is the natural visual state that appears around the onset of sleep and dreams.
b. Practice visualization during meditation.
c. Binaural beats audio and Supplements (Galantamine or Huperzine) to aid visualization.
TT note: TT training could incorporate guided visualization during meditation, of a previous "sensory training target", ("Now visualize the castle entrance from yesterday's field trip").
Goal being to be able to control the dream state and "go" to the intended target and event.
Day 6: Lucid Dreaming Supplements
a. Most indigenous cultures have "dream herbs"; Xhosa of South Eastern Africa: Silene Capensis, Mexican shamans: Calea Zacatechichi, and other cultures with blue lotus, entada reidii and mugwort.
b. Herbals are "touchy", and should only be pursued by those with "experience" handling such endeavors.
c. Galantamine and Huperzine-A are the primary supplements used in lucid dream research: galantamine being extracted from the Red Spider Lily and Huperzine-A from Chinese Club Moss.
TT note: TT missions will incorporate the supplement Galantamine, due to it's low side effect potential, availability, and lucid dream track record.
But when I saw the herb Mugwort I was reminded about my ventures into the Mugwort Dream Pillow. I found this "recipe" in an herbal from the 1970s (basically stuff a bunch of mugwort in a cloth bag and throw it in your pillow case), but it was the introduction to this recipe that intrigued me. The intro spoke of the author's vivid dreams of space travel along a Venusian landscape using this pillow.
Much later in life I was receiving acupuncture at a local college of oriental medicine, and while receiving acupuncture with moxibustion, in which the herb mugwort is burned on the ends of the needles to heat them, I experienced vivid dreams. The dream was extremely realistic and involved me as a "door-gunner" on a low flying spacecraft, strafing a Venusian city (I felt bad about doing that).
Both of these events with the herb Mugwort involving Venus made me wonder if certain herbs stimulated certain "frequencies", of certain "parallel universes", allowing the user's mind to experience a "counterpart's" actions.
