Smell Induced Lucidity?

[clarkkent]

I was thinking on a different tangent today. There might be substances that we could smell, to trigger lucidity. For example, you rub the liquid etc on your neck before sleeping. Either immediately or let's say, half an hour before sleeping. Just an idea. Actually I'm not thinking that you smell it during sleep, but it would effect you *before* sleeping, perhaps increasing your critical awareness somehow. Perhaps the liquid is absorbed through the skin.

I have used three scents that are related specifically to dreaming: "Pillow Mist" that you spray on your pillow (not specifically for lucid dreams): http://www.origins.com/templates/products/...ODUCT_ID=PROD41 Mine was by Origins but if you do a search on froogle.com using the words "pillow mist" you can find alot of this type of product. "Lucid Dreams Aromatherapy Inhaler" : http://www.herbalremedies.com/scent-inhaler-dreams.html "Dream Enhancement Oil" (5 ml of blended clary sage oil). This is included when you buy the "Lucid Dreaming Kit" by Paul Devereux and Charla Devereux : http://www.valorebooks.com/ShowBook?ISBN=1...p;date=02/06/07 Did they cause me to have lucid dreams.. not on their own.. I still had to do WBTB/WILD (in other words I doubt that there is a "magic scent" that will miraculously make you lucid dream). Which would I recommend the most.. definately the "Lucid Dreaming Kit" as it came not ony with the "oil" but also with a 128 page illustrated book, a "Portal of Dreams" visualization card and an audio tape of sleep induction techniques. Hope this helps!

Sounds interesting. I don't think that it would work though. Lucid dreams are in your head, therefore your mind can control every aspect of them, including induction. It just takes some time to learn how.
