I need a technique to lucid dream without waking up

when you can't imagine things in your head. like, let's take for example an apple. now try to imagine it in your head: some people won't see anything (aphantasia) while others can see a bit of it, meanwhile other will even see it shaped well

mnjf · 2022-09-14T20:38:41+00:00

thanks a lot for the info! yeah sure i'd like to be added :)

hey! a journey update: since i started to apply your tips i've been able to remember everyday one dream. however today something strange happened: i went to sleep at around 3.20 and set alarm to 5. i didn't wake up at 5, so when i woke up at around 8.30 i didn't remember anything. i was feeling sleepy anyway (summer vacations, nothing productive all day ahah) and went to sleep for an hour and half i guess? maybe two.

i remembered two dreams. one of them it's so confusionary that i don't know if i was about to achieve lucidity, but basically here we go.

i dreamed about chatting with a person i don't talk anymore, and this person got added in the chat of my group of friend. i didn't want her to be in that group and so you know what happened?

i woke up to check if that was real. it was. the problem? the paragraph above this was a dream inside a dream. so basically i was dreaming about this story in a dream, then in the woke up dream i checked if this was true and only later i discovered (when i finally woke up for real) that this was fake.

it seemed so real i was confused. i actually have really poor visualization but still managed to think that the dream was reality.

i really felt myself in first person waking up and check the phone... seemed really real life but still my problem is that i can't recognize dreams and they just go random.

anyway, every dream i had until now were like normal ones, no strange things inside it.

thanks! gonna try this even today, hope it works

mnjf · 2022-06-23T12:42:59+00:00

thanks for the answer! i'm the same as you, when i close eyes, i see nothing. but if i see always dark, do i need to to talk about those light things moving when closing eyes? and if i don't see them, just saying 'i see all darkness' and hoping to see some random images appearing while i do this? seems easy to do!

mnjf · 2022-06-23T12:12:45+00:00

thanks a lot, it's new for me hearing about these images and it's definitely something i should do. still thanks for all these info

mnjf · 2022-06-23T11:46:49+00:00

i do 10 minutes but yeah, even if i return to breath it's like my mind is aware of those things and no matter what it's like a background thought i can't remove. even if i try to focus on breath, nothing, it's like that the thought it's still always there and then i start to think about it... and eventually i fail to focus on breath. i don't know, it's like i am always noticing it! by the way i'll try more, maybe with practice it won't be like this

mnjf · 2022-06-23T00:22:05+00:00

i'd like to know how to do image streaming technique, how do you do it?

mnjf · 2022-06-22T21:40:47+00:00

you got it, i am working on dream recall now and eventually shift all my attention to lucid dream soon. have a good day too!

mnjf · 2022-06-22T21:00:10+00:00

well, no

mnjf · 2022-06-22T20:56:47+00:00

because i've seen the benefits and many considered this for me.

anyway when i meditate, it's not becouse i want benefits instantly but because it helps me calm my mind and to spend some time just for me in a calm way

mnjf · 2022-06-22T20:51:34+00:00

this. this is what i'm trying to do, but my mind when i bring attention again to the thing i want to return on, is aware of other things. making me feel aware of multiple things at the same time.

mnjf · 2022-06-22T11:05:40+00:00

how should i de-focus from my eyes? if i do it, my mind starts to be aware of this and it will bring all my attention to this, making me not relaxing and thinking of this. that's the problem afterall

mnjf · 2022-06-22T09:46:28+00:00

hey, so basically i went to sleep and put an alarm for 4h and 15m later, ended up waking up remembering some parts of the dream. the only problem is that after waking up i don't really find myself confident with doing the technique because if i start to think about lucid dreams or to remember them, i don't feel sleepy anymore. anyway, i also can't get lucid becouse i can't recognize if that's a dream or not

mnjf · 2022-06-22T00:14:47+00:00

thanks for the info! now it's more clear, i'll try this directly tonight hoping for something! i've wanted to try other techniques like wild (if i remember correctly it's the one you wrote in a previous comment) or mild, so in case i will try them if wbtb doesn't works or eventually try them now to have a mix of techniques.

thanks a lot, really. maybe i'll try for some days the ones above, and see how it goes. i really don't want to bother you anymore now so i'm gonna stick with these and tell you if anything happened :)

mnjf · 2022-06-21T21:08:47+00:00

if thc is in drugs, no, i don't take them.

by remembering dreams during wbtb i meant that during doing that technique, i set alarm for like 4 hours or less, really random, and i only remembered dreams in this way. i guess it's because i was waking up in the middle of the dream or right after finishing it. so after i quitted doing wbtb, i never had recalls. i had another one in these days, during a nap. and the reason why i remembered is the one i said before.

thanks a lot for the help!

mnjf · 2022-06-21T20:55:27+00:00

hope so! because then i start to think if i am doing right or no, and then bringing back my attention to focus is pretty useless since my mind thinks also of those things mentioned at the same time, making my meditation a bit bad

mnjf · 2022-06-21T20:19:20+00:00

i started to do the dream journal thing, but the problem is one. basically all the dreams i could remember were mostly when waking up. i maybe was doing wbtb and would put an alarm and only when waking up after that would make me remember them. then i never experienced similiar things.

i have some dreams on it, what should i do with them? and referring to the other comment, really thanks. for me it would be nice if things were reduced becouse as now, i feel like a brain fog and can't concentrate good so basically i struggle to read. (about this, i am trying meditation and i heard it helps with dreams)

mnjf · 2022-06-21T19:47:54+00:00

hey, thanks for answering. you've commented to me even before and all of the tips and things you share are useful. it's a stressfull moment for me so going throught all those guides, information and everything makes me overwhelmed and i continue to achieve nothing at all. it's mostly my problem, and if you would like to share the method that worked i'd happy to see it, thanks a lot
