IMPD (ipod/mp3 dream)

[Creation X]

IMID (Ipod/mp3 induced lucid-dream) [i]In this thread you will learn my #1 most used technique,using rhythm! This tutorial will teach you to lucid dream using a mp3 player or Ipod as your little helper. 1)Get your iPod or MP3 player loaded with songs, or enough to last you threw the night(8 hours would be enough, or a playlist on loop). 2)When going to sleep, put your headphones on/earbuds in and get to sleepin'! 3)While going to sleep, think of everything that could possibly make the songs play, that way in your dream if you don't see one of these objects, or maybe you see something(like a tree)making the noise you will realize your dreaming. 4)After you are in your dream you should hear the music. You should realize that it's not coming from anywhere but your own mind and become lucid! that's all there is to it! notes: you could try recording yourself (if you have a mic) saying "you are dreaming", it might help, Although I've never tried it. If you do see something that seems logical making that noise, try to go up and inspect it, maybe like throw it at a moving car. If it busts and the music is still playing there you go! This works for me almost every time, and I can't guarantee that it will do the same for you, we are all different!

There is a good MP3 in the lucid aids forum for this, I think it's called Lucid Remix.

His is better! Because it's Creation X, got it?! phoenelai might say otherwise

[Jdeadevil]

phoenelai might say otherwise Creation X will take care of him!

well, those are indeed good ideas, making a song say you are lucid dreaming, and it is probably better than my idea. but, I think it would be easier hearing your own voice, and not feeling yourself speak it. that way your like, WTF? I just said something without opening your mouth. the other ones have other voices in it. not talking down about them either, because everyone has different minds!

I'll search for it and see what I find, and then reply/edit this post after I listen to it. Jesus Jdeadevil, I'm glad I already have someone defending me! thanks a lot.

I Will have to try this. Thanks Creation. Adding what seems to be an easier way to have LDs.

It was hard getting comfortable wearing headphones. I played the music and fell asleep, but I never heard the music in my dream. I "knew" I was dreaming but had no control and it wasn't really "me" that was controlling myself. For some reason, I did dumb reality check of trying to move things with my mind. I still knew it was a dream, just had no control. Interesting technique though.

I listen to Daft Punks "Discovery" on a loop.

Here is the problem i find with this idea. Yes it might work for you, but when you're dreaming its hard to get into the habit of analyzing everything. Like your idea of throwing whatever object at a car or something like that. Easier said than done. The problem there is that when we dream, we don't know it, so we act as if we were in our waking life. Now me, I would never throw a radio at a moving car to reality check, so why would i do something crazy like that in my dreams? I think people should get more into the old fashioned rc's like flipping light switches and pluging your nose. Its easier and more likely to happen in your dreams than what you have suggested. The way i see it, realization of being in a dream will come from habitual behavioral patters like habitually rc'ing. If you get into this constant manner in your waking life, your more likely to do so in your dreams.

I have NEVER been able to sleep with earbuds/headphones at night. Somewhere along the way I do some tossing and turning and wind up in a tangled mess during the night. I HAVE left the television on while I slept and it yielded the sense of a TV playing in my dream on several occasions. I suppose this would make a good cue as well, if you condition yourself to look around for the TV. I know I have several DJ entries that state 'sensed a television playing' but I never could remember the television, only that one was playing somewhere in the dreamscape out of my attention. I didn't think about this angle before. I'll have to make a point to experiment and become more aware of ambient external stimuli like that.

Now, I haven't exactly had many lucid dreams, but my best one yet was induced just like this. And it wasn't just one either, I kept falling back asleep and finding myself back where I left off. I find the music helps ground me somewhat in reality, especially if I'm drifting back and forth between sleep and waking life, like in the morning. Almost had an accidental WILD this way as well, but I got too excited and woke up. Ah well...

[Sylph]

I've been thinking about music to induce dreams as well. I can't seem to focus otherwise...

this is interesting. just last night i was in a dream snowboarding a song was playing. it was one of my favourite songs, but then it didnt sound right, and BOOM i was lucid.
