Thread: Ganzfeld hallucinations

http://www.mindhacks.com/blog/2008/1...llucinati.html

At first this sounds like a bad practical joke. Begin my turning the radio to a station playing static. Then lie down on the couch and tape a pair of halved ping pong balls over your eyes. Within minutes, you should begin to experience bizarre set of sensory distortions. Some people see horses prancing in the clouds, or hear the voice of dead relatives.

It turns out the mind is addicted to sensation, so that when there's little to sense -- thats the purpose of the ping pong balls and static -- your brain ends up inventing its own.

maybe it can help in Lucid Dreaming especially if you can do it before you go to sleep, or it can help you concentrate while hallucinating.

You can simulate the Ganzfeld procedure in your own home by taping two half ping-pong balls over your eyes and listing to the radio tuned to static in an evenly lighted room.
