Lay Gnosis 73 Lucid dreaming entertaining summary + Buddhist tip

14 mins 0 secs provides a tip for meditators namely that

Transcript some exercises are actually amplified by dreaming for example Tibetan Buddhist master Nam Kai Nobu once said that meditating in a lucid dream was nine times more powerful than meditating whilst awake You just can’t argue with that kind of maths —-

Though we can argue a bit, because the master only said it “ONCE” LOL.

So Adam, do you think you could do this ?

Night time I meditate myself into the astral and occasionally a lucid dream and continue mantras but I haven’t noticed anything stupendous happening. The narrator is likely just a good story teller. Though the video is a good summary intro

Fascinating comment left under that video

SelfishWithShellfish 2521 week ago The weird part about lucid dreaming that you didn’t mention is some people who lucid dream almost constantly remember the majority of their dreams similarly to our conscious memory. Also my dreams are so vivid i almost never wake up well rested it’s kind of a curse. Its impossible for me to turn off my dreams and actually get a good night’s sleep without copious amounts of sedatives. I cant turn them off but I can change the channel per say. Be careful what you wish for everything has unforeseen consequences.Show less

Lucas ‘Ktulu789’2 weeks agoI’m a lucid dreamer. It is said that everyone dreams every night just not always you remember what you dreamt about. Lucid dreaming is an awareness state inside the dream world. You can even wake up on command from a dream or nightmare when you are aware that it’s a dream. Some people think it is overrated. Is it?

Well. It’s your dreamworld. You can do anything there, whatever you can imagine. How can that be overrated? Sure, it’s not real and it ends when you wake up but the mind CGI is the best of it’s kind and you not only see but also feel and touch and hear and smell or taste everything. It is like living it only even better… You can eat the best cake and if you don’t like it you only need to imagine/think/create/taste a better one. The same for whatever else you do. Do you wanna fly? Just take off. Do you wanna have sex? Just think who you wanna share it with. Do you wanna build a city from the ground with your mind? You have all the materials imaginable available. Do you wanna visit another star? Do you wanna go into outer space? Swim in the ocean? Go to a gig or even play for the crowd? Eat anything without feeling bad or getting fat? Travel in time to the Far West or ancient Egypt? Do you wanna see dinosaurs? Go to a place from your childhood? Talk with anybody? Meet an angel? You can do anything of that and even more. Only your ideas, your mind and your imagination are the limits. The metaphysics aspect of that realm is something that really interests me. It’s a great way to know yourself better, know your subconscious self and try to learn even about your own essence. I’m also very interested in trying shared dreams. The problem is that people never recall dreams right. But I keep trying. Lucid dreams are not only vivid, they usually are a lot easier to remember when awake, but the important part is having the knowledge that you are dreaming, that that world is your creation. You can chose to control it or not, maybe just explore. In my case, suddenly and out of nowhere I just know it is a dream. No clue or anything. Just spontaneous awareness of the fact. But I can and have tried different ways to seek clues and objectively realize it in more dreams and sometimes I detect it. I am sometimes able to just enter a dream from wake state too. The transition is pretty interesting and weird! Lucid dreaming IS The Matrix and you ARE NEO!Show less207 REPLY

denome2 weeks ago (edited)Steps that helped me get a few As in school by studying in my sleep was: 1. Repeatedly throughout the day stretch out your fingers, look at them and ask mentally “Is this a dream? Are these my hands?” -> I like to have a some anchor and I always carry my hands with me. So my hands became the anchors. 2. Before you go to sleep, remind yourself that you want to wake up in the dream. 3. Make this a habit. After a week I was able to fly in Manhattan, talk with future self, study for school and prepare for speeches. But this method was a bit unreliable because I was more interested in student partys than the school. Also if you want to study in sleep it helps if you skim through a book before you go to sleep so the unconscious mind has something study in the night. Unfortunately, I stopped doing lucid dreaming after I left the university. But I’ll try this again to learn a new language.Show less
