Thread: Lucid Meditation?

Dont know if this has been addressed or not, or if it even belongs here. I have been curious about Lucid Meditation for a long time, yet have never been able to find real info on it. Basically what I am talking about is having a Lucid Dream while Meditating, being awake and aware of making yourself go into a lucid state of mind. Having the control and everything you could have in a Lucid Dream, but being awake and inducing it through meditation. If this type of thing is possible, whats it called, and how is it practiced? Also if learned, would it be bad to do it everyday, as well as inducing Lucid Dreaming? Sorry for all the questions about something that might not even be possible, but if it is possible, atleast all the questions are already there. Thanks guys/gals.

I have actually managed to do this before. However, I can only do it when I am feeling light-headed or like I am going to faint. I wouldn't reccommend trying it.

Well Ive gotten pretty deep into different types of meditation, found this one place that basically makes it so that its just your own type of meditation. Not one where you have to follow values, or religion, or philosophy to enjoy the full benefits of the meditation. And Ive been practicing meditating, and even though I have just started really practicing it, I started to see something the other day, but it wasnt clear and I figured it wasnt anything special, so I let it go, considered it a distraction since I didnt know how to explore it or anything.

Know it doesnt have to do with meditation, but Ive heard there are a few herbs that will cause hallucinations without causing damage to the brain. I know there is DMT, which from what I hear will make you have some extremely wicked lucid visions and youre able to remember what you see, and explore a universe. Just wondering if anyone has ever tried any herbs and had success with it? Or is that something that isnt practiced here?

We don't really talk about hallucinogenics here anymore, due to forum policy. Just because it tends to go from experiences to endorsement, which is bad.

I've tried two main types of meditation. In this first, I simply clear my mind and wait. Nothing happens, but its not boring. I drift into a peaceful abyss until I wake up. The second meditation is where I acknowledge my surroundings, set them aside, and focus on consciousness. I suggest this type for you, as it yields insightful results. Not necessarily visions, but thoughts (if you want visions, go try lucid hypnogogia).

What about meditating during a lucid dream...? I wonder what would happen then?

Sorry about bringing up the hallucinogens, wont do it again. I have never heard of lucid hypnogogia, about to look it up. Thanks for the reply.
