My Life Has Changed Forever
I Tried Lucid Dreaming for 30 Days
One third of our lives, about 9,000 days, are spent asleep. Is it possible to have more sleep than a simple black followed by awakening? As they become more crowded, as I grow old, I constantly hunt for several hours on my day. I know, however, from academic magazines and personal experience, that taking hours of sleep is the worst possible option.
What happens if I could find some extra time during sleep?
What happens if that moment was during dreams?
But how can my dreams be aware?
How will I know when I dream?
Can I fly during dreams?
Can I study during dreams?
Can I fight Darth Vader and in a wonderful struggle with the sword of light?
One day, I told one of my friends about one of my dreams and told me he flew to Egypt to see what pyramids of her previous dream and I was like: “What? How did you do that? ”He told me it’s just a regular lucid dream for her.
And he realized he was dreaming and started flying.
I was surprised.
Immediately, I started to research “what is lucid dreaming”. For the next 30 days, my life has become all about lucid dreaming.
I tried lucid dreaming for 30 days, and my life has changed forever.
30 -day experiment
I began to devour all the possible on Lucid dreaming after that discovery.
I bought a lucid dream book, I read 100 Reddit posts, I watched Inception and Memento and I bought a luxury journal and a pen. I went to bed at night, one ready to have a lucid dream and fly to explore the pyramids as my friend. I went to bed and nothing happened.
I was beaten, what’s going on here?
Why can’t I do crazy things?
The last thing I remember was asleep and then I woke up 8 hours later, without reminding what happened last night.
I had to do something different.
I had to become more strategic, I decided to break up the next 30 days in 5 -day blocks, where I will hire one thing every 5 days. Each “block” would be a level that I complete before moving on to the next phase of becoming a lucid dream teacher.
Phase 1: Dream Journal
Phase 1, according to the Internet and Laberge, should record every dream I have at night using a dream journal.
I remember thinking, waiting, so I have to wake up in the middle of the night, start a light and write things in a journal?
Sounds like a nightmare right there! However, I did it. I wanted to have that epic struggle.
I found the awakening to be very harsh. A few times I woke up, I thought of the journal, but then I fell asleep immediately.
What motivated me was to read all the amazing stories in Laberge and Internet. People were talking to long -lost relatives, repeating musical concerts or channeling with their favorite celebrity.
At first, my memory of dreams was abyssal. I would remember a sentence that describes the image of what happened. Slowly, however, I built more and more details. Soon I completed the page with the details of my dreams.
My hunger was built for the lucid dream, however, I have to go in the next phase.
Phase 2: Reality checks
After I finished my first five days, I wanted the next step. The next phase of my plan was the checks of reality. The idea behind the checks of reality is that if you constantly check to see if you dream during the real life, then, in the end, you will start checking if you dream while dreaming.
So, I made the plan to do this of reality where I choke my nose and try to breathe through my nose. In real life, of course, you cannot breathe through a pinched nose, but when you dream, you can breathe through the pinch.
I have scheduled to do reality checks whenever I noticed that it is the hour mark, whenever I drank water, or whenever I felt strange.
I remember that I felt extremely stupid when I started doing this because I would look at my hands to see if they were blurred, then I chuck my nose, then I imagine I dream and jump in the air (of course I -I would return very quickly to the ground) and image what I would do if I dreamed.
I remember in the hospital and on the streets people occasionally forget about me as if I were crazy and, at that time, I felt like crazy.
But then something amazing happened.
A few days to make reality checks happened! I had my first lucid dream!
I was amazed by how vivid and real the world of dream was. My brain generates all these images and people and things that change constantly. And now, I was really hanging, I couldn’t go back.
I wanted to have longer dreams, to make things cooler in dreams and to have more frequent dreams. I needed to give him a notch.
Phase 3: Lucid Dream induced by Mnemonic (gentle)
Then I entered the third phase of my plan, introducing the easy technique. I would stay in this phase for 10 days, journaling, making reality checks and making the night easy at night.
Everything is gentle is, it is when you wake up late at night, remember and record your dream. Then as you fall asleep, you repeat:
“The next time I dream, I will remember that I dream, next time I dream, I will remember that I dream.”
All this time, imagining what you would do when you remember you dream. So, if I wanted to fly, I would imagine in the dream I just woke up, realizing that I was dreaming and leaving and flying.
Then I hit the wall.
Even though I was super motivated and employed, I woke up that I haven’t been lucid for some time. I was beaten. I thought that the curve for lucid dreams will be exponential, as one every month, then one every week, then one every day, but I was wrong.
I began to lose my interest in Lucid’s dream.
One day I didn’t even check for reality.
Another day I did not record any dream.
It’s over?
My lucid dream trip was one of the past?
Would I ever fly in space?
During this period I addressed my original lucid dreaming inspiration and told me:
“It’s okay, it’s happening.”
She also said that it was a hard commitment, you have to stay with it or otherwise you will have to handle it again in the flow of having lucid dreams. She said that if I don’t do all these things anymore, you tell yourself, whether you realize it or not, this lucid dream is not so important to you that your dreams are not so important to you.
I thought about the moment I started dreaming, and my first and only lucid dream and how great they were. And I realized this was important to me. Obtaining additional time was important to me. Exploring the world of my dreams was important to me. And I recommended.
Near the end of the third phase, I still had no lucid dreams, but my dream reminder was at one point. We record several pages of dreams a night. By the end of the third phase, I knew I had to change things, to add an increasingly strong method, a more advanced method.
Phase 4: WBTB
For my final form, Charizard, I mean my final phase, I decided to use the Wake-Back-To-Bed (WBTB) method.
The WBTB method involves waking up to 5 or 6 hours after falling asleep and then consciously falls asleep. The idea being that, later in the night, your Rem cycle is at the longest and the Rem cycle is when you dream. However, many redditors and even Laberge indicate that this method is not for the weak of the heart.
Conscious falling asleep is difficult for a few reasons. Number one, you must be at the perfect excitement level. If you wake up a little and fall asleep, you will not wake up the prefrontal cortex to help you think and admit that you dream. But if you wake up too much, you will not fall asleep.
Also, conscious sleep can be frightening. Weird noises happen, they become paralyzed, figures appear, you have to believe in what you do and that you are safe.
The first time I tried it I was too alert and I didn’t fall asleep.
The second time I tried it, I started to feel a sensation of shaking and a strange buzz and it was too scared, so I woke up.
The third time, however, Wild worked!
After my drought for 10 days, I finally had one more. I consciously fell asleep, things became very blurred and there were loud noises, but I appeared in the dream world.
Then he continues to happen.
WBTB continued to work! I had another lucid dream, lucid dream number three, a few days later. Then another, then another, before I know it, I was on the lucid dream number six. And in this, something intense happened. I think my subconscious was talking to me or part of me was talking to me. It was a figure, which looked very similar to me, which gave me life advice.
And, being lucid, I could extract a little more information from this, but it was very intense. The dream character urged me to be healthier and slow me down.
Now, it’s time to dream big (I just waited for the entire post to type this line).
The dream that changed everything
In my last week, I wanted to do something crazy. I felt very great about Lucid’s dream, but I wanted to do something that would be more intense than flying around or making light battles.
However, he went down to the wire and I was scared that it would not happen. Night 27, no lucid dream.
Night 28, without a lucid dream.
Night 29, without a lucid dream.
I was really going to come in this way just to end without doing much?
My main plan?
But almost as if part of me listened, something happened.
I had an amazing lucid dream in the last night, at night 30. I was in a playground surrounded by the ocean and I remembered that I thought it was strange, but then I woke up. I immediately tried to go back to bed using the easy technique and I found myself in the same place! Instantly I became lucid and I remembered my intention to fly into space.
What followed was an experience I will never forget.
I was flying through space, experiencing different sizes and different shapes and I had the happiest feeling ever. The dream intensified my emotions to a point where I was almost in tears when I woke up, so it was amazing. I realized that there is so much to explore, not only in the world, but in my head.
Imagine -do you have the crazy things I could discover if I kept doing this for a year?
