[QUOTE="Doc 05, post: 227612, member: 11873"] Day 3 of a 10 day online lucid dreaming course I signed up for: By: Chris Hammond, FOUNDER, WORLD OF LUCID DREAMING ACADEMY [TABLE] [TR] [TD][LEFT][TABLE] [TR] [TD]Hope you're enjoying these emails! By now you've probably figured out that lucid dreaming is just like any other skill. [B]That is, it takes time and effort to learn. :-)[/B] I like to think of it a bit like learning a new language or playing an instrument. You'll start off pretty shaky, but as you keep up practice you'll find yourself starting to see real results! So, don't give up on me – keep up your lessons and make a point of doing everything I tell you to do. By the end of this course, you’ll have an infinitely deeper understanding of the dream world and how you can become conscious there. On average, most beginners start to see results within the first 2 weeks of practice. [B]So keep at it![/B] Once you get your first taste of real lucidity, you'll realise its power. :-) Lucid dreaming is an amazing skill that I built into my life – alongside martial arts, yoga and meditation. So, whether you want to: [LIST] [*]Inspect your own insecurities, neurosis and psychological makeup in the comfort of your own mind. [*]Practice skills in your dreams that transfer to improved ability in real-life. [*]Have some fun: like controlling lightning bolts with your hands, walking into a raging fire and absorbing its energy, or simply becoming a tree and losing touch with human consciousness and ego. [*]Or simply have your wicked way with Kylie Minogue or Brad Pitt – it's all good to me. [/LIST] Then you're in the right place. Stick to my guidance and I will get you there. Promise! Today's lesson builds on yesterday's. We are going to look at awareness whilst [I]sleeping [/I]– or, specifically, whilst [I]falling[/I] asleep. With a simple exercise to practice at bed time.[/TD] [/TR] [/TABLE][/LEFT][/TD] [/TR] [/TABLE] [TABLE] [TR] [TD][LEFT][TABLE] [TR] [TD][TABLE] [TR] [TD]Third Principal: Sleeping Awareness[/TD] [/TR] [/TABLE][/TD] [/TR] [/TABLE][/LEFT][/TD] [/TR] [/TABLE] [TABLE] [TR] [TD][LEFT][TABLE] [TR] [TD][/TD] [/TR] [/TABLE][/LEFT][/TD] [/TR] [/TABLE] [TABLE] [TR] [TD][LEFT][TABLE] [TR] [TD]Forget sensory deprivation tanks. Today we'll learn how to shut off all physical sensory input and "fall asleep consciously". [B]Don't worry, it's completely safe![/B] And it can even be even quite easy once you get the knack for it. You'll start to become aware for the first time of the [I]process [/I]of falling asleep and how it feels through each stage! And this can lead directly to lucid dreams. The beauty of this technique is you can practice it any time or day or night. However it's most effective in the [I]early hours of the morning[/I], after you've had five or so hours of sleep. It doesn't take any energy. It relieves stress. And it feels really good... [HEADING=1]How Do You Relax?[/HEADING] Some people think relaxation involves a glass of wine. Maybe a take out dinner. Possibly slouching on the couch watching an evening of TV? If you're lucky - an amazing back massage from your partner :-) This kind of relaxation goes [I]way [/I]deeper than any of that. In a more profound kind of way. [B]I'm talking about complete physical and mental detachment from the real world.[/B] This state of relaxation is a springboard to achieving deeper states of meditation and – ultimately - conscious [I]entry into the lucid dream world[/I]. When you feel like relaxing, lie down on your back in a dark, quiet room. Take some deep breaths in and out... and start to feel the tension drain away from your muscles.

Your body is now so relaxed it sends few (if any) real sensory signals to your brain. This makes it easy for you to create false signals with your mind. Any physical sensation you imagine now can feel very real - and can even tip you into the lucid dream world! Your mind is focused [I]inwards[/I], far away from the trivial stresses of waking life. You may keep your mind clear and open to spontaneous insights - or visualize a simulated inner-world, which again can lead you into a lucid dream in a matter of seconds. [HEADING=1]What If You Can't Relax?[/HEADING] The most common hurdle beginners face with this technique is silencing their [I]inner monologue[/I]. [B]Most people just don't know how to switch off their overactive brains.[/B] There are lots of ways to distract yourself from your inner voice - and eventually it will go quiet on its own.

[B]Crucially, your aim is to fall asleep physically but remain awake mentally.[/B] If that sounds alien at this stage, you're not alone! Falling asleep consciously usually takes practice and determination - but you will come to master this as a lucid dreamer. For the next few nights, go to bed a little earlier than usual and give yourself time to perform this technique as practice. And try it again any time you [I]wake up[/I] in the night. (it's easier to induce a lucid dream then too). You'll open yourself up to a blissful meditation experience.
