Below are three powerful techniques I have personally used to induce lucid dreams:

1) TAPE PLAYER METHOD

Use a tape player or MP3 player with your voice recorded on it that tells you to check to see if you are dreaming, or that reminds you to realize you are having a dream. Turn on the player when you go to bed or even better turn in on when you awaken in middle of the night or when you wake up from just having a dream. When you go back to bed after awakening you are more than likely to have a dream. I usually record the affirmations about one minute apart so when I go into REM sleep the tape recorder reminds me to check if I am dreaming. At first you may have difficulty falling asleep since every minute or so you will hear the affirmations, but soon you will become accustom to the sound of your voice and fall asleep. Your voice on the tape recorder will remind you check to see of you are dreaming while you are having the dream and will help you become lucid.

2) REALITY CHECKS

Check to see if you are dreaming during the day while awake, especially if you find yourself in an odd or unusual situation. Checking to see if you are dreaming while awake will translate into doing a reality check while you are dreaming. Don't pinch yourself to see if you are dreaming, or jump in the air to see if you can fly: All that may happen if you do this type of reality check in a dream is you may feel a slight pain from the pinch, or if you jump in the air and try flying you may end up just coming back down from the jump. The best way to do a reality check is to ask the question:

"How did I get here?"

Since the dream environment is constantly changing and evolving, if you are dreaming you will suddenly find yourself in a dream but will not be able to logically retrace the steps you took to get there. If you can retrace your steps you are more than likely not dreaming. However if you cannot retrace your steps you are having a dream.

3) LUCID DREAM AFFIRMATIONS

Repeat the following affirmations before bed or when you wake up from just having a dream, but plan on going back to sleep right away:

» I awaken within my dreams
» My waking consciousness goes with me into my dreams
» I am consciously aware of my dreams
» Lucid dreaming is easy for me
» When I dream, I am aware I am dreaming
» I remember my lucid dreams
» I have the power to control my dreams
» I do reality checks while dreaming
» I notice the dream signs that help me become lucid
» I become consciously aware of odd occurrences in dreams
» I am determined but detached while dreaming
» My dream intention is strong
» I visualize becoming lucid in my dreams
» Tonight I will recognize that I am dreaming
» Tonight I will have a lucid dream
» I have a greater awareness of reality
» I recognize I am dreaming while dreaming
» I remain emotionally calm when dreaming
» I check to see if I am really awake often
» I know the difference between reality and dreaming
» I do reality checks often
» I have the ability to lucid dream at will
» I am the master of my dreams
» I am a master at the art of lucid dreams

Don't quote me on it, but I think the goal of meditation is that you feel that lucidity constantly. The idea is that the results are not supposed to be temporary, but trained so that they are permanent.

Meditation, for that reason, is also a good trainer for discipline.

It also helps with increased focus, better self esteem, ect. It's more than just sitting there and doing nothing.

Mind you, you can meditate for like 10 minutes and still feel results. Long-term is generally for trances and OBE stuff, or at least for me it is anyways.

Came across a cool article a couple months back about how to go from a ld to obe. I have done this indirectly but have been pursuing ld's full time im going to try a few of these methods and post if i turn up any thing. The writter presents three methods in which the practioner can achieve a obe from ld Link is Below. namaste.



Out of Body Experiences, Astral Projection Travel from Lucid Dreams

Hey everyone, I discovered a technique that is a variation of DEILD that I read about in the book "the Guidebook for Astral Travel" It's used for inducing LD's and the first time I tried it I got 3 ld's. I then showed it to my friend and the first time he tried it he got two. So I think it's very effective. What you do is when you wake up from a dream, you keep your eyes closed, and passively observe the images that come into your head. As they start to come they will eventually form into a dream scene. When that happens you have to passively help shape the dream scene, and then try to thrust yourself into this dream scene. I do this by trying to walk in the dream scene as its forming. This should happen within 20 or so seconds. I suggest everyone try it, it worked amazingly for me. And please don't post "this is just DEILD" I know it is, it's just a little different.

Time is subjective even in physical life. If you ran a little social experiment where a group of people go inside of a amusement park for day and u timed the duration of the stay with a stop watch to say 5 hrs. I guarantee you'll get different answers about how long there stay was in the park some answers will be way off because their letting there feeling dictate how long the time was that passed. Some peoples day go by fast others peoples day go by slow fast years slow years it's all subjective. We just happen to have a universal clock system that everyone agrees on that doesn't mean the time that goes by isnt subjective for the one experiencing time it's self. With in the dream scape will power goes a long way and u have displayed that u could also verbalize your intentions with commands like "increase perception of time" IMHO ofcourse

Last night I had a very interesting experience with this. My alarm goes off every 10 minutes when I hit snooze, and it went off at 11:41 AM (Was sleeping in). I distinctly noticed what time it was, hit the snooze, and went back to sleep nearly instantly. I had an INCREDIBLY detailed and seemingly lengthy dream that felt as if it occurred over a period of about an hour or two. My alarm went off again, it said 11:51, even though I could have sworn it was at least an hour long. Since the brain can create more rather than simply take in information, supposedly time can seem longer. It doesn't matter how long time actually IS, it matters how your brain perceives it.

Please explain your time window for lucidity mapping out your sleep schedule from the onset of sleep until the momment you wake up to begin your day.

My Avg Sleep Schedule & Avg Time Window In Which I Go Lucid-

-In Bed at 12 am

-12-2am non rem sleep no dreams (on avg.) If i do dream during this time they are very short and hard to remember.

- 2am-3:30am ( wake up from alarm clock) Im performing wake back to bed, searching the internet, watching tv, playing video games etc.

-3:30am to 5:30am This is the time i have my most vivid dreams my recall is better and is the avg time i go lucid




5:30am I wake up from a vivid dream or a lucid dream, recall is gd for journaling 90% of the time at this point.

5:40am -7:45am Some dreams but not as vivid recall not as sharpe as before. I do feel rested and energized ready to go about my day.namaste
