Thread: HILD (Hypnosis Induced Lucid Dreaming

really cool idea. Im interested in these trance techniques. Ill help test it out later this week i guess.

Alright thanks alot, I have tried a few lucid dreaming hypnosis files and none have really done much for me. And some people just like self hypnosis (me).

i have noticed that this technique helps me remember to do rc's more often, but other than that, i havent noticed much difference (im not a very experienced ld-er).

But i like self hypnosis too. im interested in anything that expands or alters consciousness in any way, especially if it helps me learn something.

Ill keep trying this out more, im really getting interested in some of the techniques i've seen around.

Alright thanks for the help.

Bringing this up to see if anyone else is interested.

Yeah this does seem pretty interesting...

But at the same time, how is this different from a MILD?

Last night I had a lucid. I did this before bed. Not sure if it was this technique but hey, I stil got lucid!

It's been a while but I will BUMP anyway.

Holy shit, I tried this and it worked. I have been doing this and it helps me get to sleep. It usually takes me a while to get asleep and by doing this I can trance myself into getting sleepy! This is really good! Haven't really used it for Lucid Dreaming but I will try it thanks!

I'd actually like to go see a solid hypnotist and ask them to do this for me. I mean some of these professionals are really good.

Did any of you try to set a "posthypnotic -trigger" in a LD? I mean while beeig LD program you subconcious to have a LD when touching your ear (or whatever trigger you like) I once did but I don't think it worked.

HEY! Lets bring this thread back up again.. xD
I've been looking into hypnosis quite a bit now..
Trying it ou with my friend and stuff.
Anyone here an experienced hypnotist? If so, could you maybe help out with writing a script or something for inducing a lucid dream through hypnosis?
Thanks!

If not, I might just write my own lol.

I'll be trying the suggestion about "having more lucid dreams" today. I've actually gotten really good at getting into a self-hypnotic state and my suggestions are working... now if only I could figure out what language my subconscious mind translates through I might get the results I actually want! One thing to remember is that you either need to do these things regularly, or you need to put in the suggestion that this is a permanent change. I noticed I'd get results for a day or two and then nothing.

@NightSpy: If you take the time to write the suggestions that make sense to you, you'll learn a lot more and end up getting better results. As far as scripts go, they are less important than understanding the process of hypnosis. The most important part in the beginning is a willing suspension of disbelief. Once you know it can be done, it's easy!

Is all the hypnosis for LD you've looked into quite similar, or have you found some different results?

Would you consider this similar to the 61 point relaxation technique developed by Laberge? Or does SHILD/HILD go above and beyond?

Did you try to hypnotize somebody else maybe?
I am very interested in learning both.

I remember being in varieté shows with a hypnotist before and so much wanting to take part - but twice they said they wouldn´t do that with a child in such a setting - my was I frustrated - I had even talked my parents into allowing it..

The most craziest thing was how I first got hypnotized finally - over the television!!
It was a show, where this guy said, he would try it for the first time, and nobody had attempted it ever before (well - maybe at least in German tv not..).

And it worked - he induced relaxation and trance like usual - and the thing was then, to not be able to take apart your hands, which you were to - well - knot up finger of one hand being in between fingers of the other hand.

And led out of it of course - with a time-span after which it should go away, if the tv exploded or something..

That was one of the big moments in my life where I experienced something truly new.
My "little" hobby again - but being very much into darts-playing I have read several reports of people very much profiting from it and like to try it out myself - and maybe with one of my mates, who is interested in it as well.

I know there are trustworthy schools out there to learn to not only hypnotize oneself - maybe one day I try learning it.
Soo - did you hypnotize somebody else as well - from being an autodidactic?
Or did you maybe got taught it?

Oh yeah - and not to forget - I wasn´t exactly happy or feeling well physically when watching this show - but he suggested, I feel wonderful and relaxed and in equanimity - wow - what a difference!

Do you try this technique when you go to bed, or after some hours of sleep?

No actually, you can use this technique whenever you have time. The affirmations will increase the likelihood of lucid dreams over time. It's helpful to have some consistency and practice the technique frequently. You could also do it at bed time to increase the chances of a lucid dream on any given night.

Note that everyone is different and not every night or day will be the same.
You are better off making your own affirmations. I think that one thing you probably don't want to do is be stuck in the third-person perspective when you should be in the first-person perspective when you are in a lucid dream. You want to be able to regain or maintain awareness.
