[QUOTE="Doc 05, post: 227774, member: 11873"] Day 5 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][/LEFT] [TABLE] [TR] [TD]OK, things are about to start getting intense! We've laid the ground work for you over the past 4 days covering the foundational principals of lucid dreaming (dream recall and awareness). Yesterday we started doing daily reality checks. Now we're going to start looking at [I]hypnagogia [/I]and cover our first actual lucid dream induction technique. Crazy![/TD] [/TR] [/TABLE] [/TD] [/TR] [/TABLE] [TABLE] [TR] [TD][LEFT][/LEFT] [TABLE] [TR] [TD][TABLE] [TR] [TD]Exploring Your Hypnagogia[/TD] [/TR] [/TABLE][/TD] [/TR] [/TABLE] [/TD] [/TR] [/TABLE] [TABLE] [TR] [TD][LEFT][/LEFT] [TABLE] [TR] [TD]Hypnagogia is the natural visual state that appears around the onset of sleep and dreams. It's characterized by fluorescent visuals behind your closed eyelids - starting with slowly swirling lights and geometric patterns, advancing to familiar faces and entire landscapes. If you've ever stayed awake that far into your hypnagogia, you'll have an idea of how complex and impressive these visuals can become. You may remember doing this as a child. I know I did! And if you remain conscious long enough (fully relaxing your body into sleep), you'll find that hypnagogic visions can take you all the way into the lucid dream world. [B]It's easiest to observe your hypnagogia when you're tired. [/B] Lie down in a dark room and calm yourself. Perform the relaxation technique we covered in Day #3 - and the fluorescent hypnagogia will start to emerge from the darkness. When the hypnagogic imagery appears, gently follow it for a minute and then try to[I] mentally will it [/I]into different shapes. In your mind, tell the shapes to become horizontal lines, circles, squares, hexagons or grids. It really does bend to your will! Now try for something more complex. Summon the face of a loved one, or an animal. As you focus on these drifting visuals, you will begin to hypnotize yourself into a deeper meditative state. Bizarrely, the hypnagogic state can also include physical sensations (like floating), sounds (people calling your name), and even fleeting imaginary sensations of taste, smell and heat. [B]Be prepared to encounter these sensations with more intensity as your body falls asleep. [/B] When you feel your awareness is fully detached from the real world, go for the big one: shape your hypnagogia into an entire landscape! Start with the horizon, then add in other elements as layers - like a painting you can touch. This demands [I]visualization[/I]. [HEADING=1]How to Visualize Your Lucid Dream[/HEADING] My favorite dream scenes to visualize are big sweeping landscapes. Imagine you're standing on a beach, for instance, and visualize looking out across the sand. Now will your hypnagogia to shape itself to this image. Then [I]intensify [/I]each aspect of your visualization - in stages. Scan the horizon. Pick out vivid shapes, colors and textures. Put yourself in the moment and relish the intensity of the imagined scene. When you hit the sweet spot - in which your visualization becomes more convincing than your waking reality - you will fully "pop" into the landscape. It becomes a fully immersive dream environment. To an outsider you are officially asleep. But in your mind, you are wide awake... and dreaming. [HEADING=1]How to Make Your Practice More Effective[/HEADING] Some people need a little help inducing this "mind awake / body asleep" state from which the dream imagery develops.
