Thread: Disabled and need help becoming Lucid

For falling asleep, as has been said, just don't think about it too much. If however you are still having trouble, start by relaxing each muscle in your head. Just visualize the tension and release it. There is really no need to go over your whole body unless you are having trouble with relaxing in general.

Next, with every out breath (breathe normally), imagine your consciousness receding (this is difficult to explain). As you breathe out, feel as though you are losing a little more consciousness each time, like letting go of tension in your mind, or your brain if that visual works better for you, releasing your thoughts. It is important that you actually feel this release. You may want to visualize yourself descending a ladder if that helps, halting when inhaling and resuming when exhaling. When you start to get imagery, just passively watch it until you lose consciousness. This has only failed me under very extreme circumstances, but then, everyone is different.
