Hey :D

My name is Christian. I have been practicing lucid dreaming for 3 to 4 years now. So now I know how to induce that fairly easily, although I still have some troubles with maintain that state for more than 5 minutes, I have tried everything... I have experienced full awareness a few times which motivates me to keep going.

I have read Bob Monroes book "Journeys out of the body" and I have heard and read about other peoples experiences in the astral. And now I want to do the same

I used to explain everything in this world with science, but I have always been very philosophic. But the stories I have heard about the astral claims that it's more than just something mind-created, but the science say that it's just created by our brain. So I had to chose side and I chose the spiritual view

Although I can't KNOW for sure until I experience it myself. So that's my goal.
I hope this forum can assist me to do so.

Here's my uhum.. blog I need some place to write down my experience in order to stay motivated: www iapetos blogg se

Hello Chris,

I am also interested in lucid dreaming, but I have never tried to train myself for it. Can you recommend a good book?

Hey buddy, welcome to the forums, the goal is to become independent when it comes down to astral projection and more-so. So when you reach that goal, you will be able to experience all sorts of things without anyone's help.

Hi Christian just keep reading and beliving, I really admire you Christian that you are able to stick to it for so long Never give up and I believe through this site you will achieve your goals and more hugs

Sure, but everything you need is on the internet :)
I like the books by Carlos Castaneda, it tells the story of a Shaman giving lessons to his apprentice. It's called The Art of Dreaming by Carlos Castaneda.

But another good book is Stephen LaBerges - Exploring the world of lucid dreaming.

But the best you can do according to me, is to watch Tim Posts videos on youtube just search for: Lucidipedia.

If you want to know what I do here it is:

Set the intention to look at your hands and count you fingers in your dreams.
It can take days or weeks, but you will start looking at them in your dreams.

Just recall your dreams and keep a dream journal, when you remember more dreams you will start to experience them more vividly. I used the MILD/ DILD technique here.

After some time you will also start to notice your micro awakenings during the night after each REM period and just be aware on these moments and fall asleep with the intention to be aware of your dreams and you will get some spontaneous lucid dream just by doing this. I also like to just lay still and have closed eyes and see what happens, usually I will feel strong vibrations and find myself back in the dream or dream more aware and then get lucid.

But you can also just set an alarm clock to wake you up after 6 hours of sleep. With practice you will get about 3-4 lucid "moments" per week.
And perhaps even more =) My personal record is 4 lucid dreams 4 days in a row. Although I am still working on stabilizing.

Good luck =)
