The document describes the author's experience of lucid dreaming, in which he becomes aware that he is dreaming during a dream. In the dream, he notices unusual details like carrying a gargoyle. This triggers him to realize he must be dreaming. He then explores the dream world, studying a maple tree in great detail but being unable to find any flaws that indicate it is not real. This experience causes him to question how he can know if anything in his waking life is objectively real or just a dream experience. The document also discusses lucid sleeping, a state of deep relaxation with full consciousness where one remains aware of their physical environment unlike in lucid dreaming where the dream environment is prominent.

Email Last night during a 20-minute midnight nap, I had a lucid dream. This is the fourth one Ive experienced since starting polyphasic sleep 64 days ago. It started off as a regular dream, and then at some point I realized I was carrying a gargoyle, which seemed odd to me. I asked myself, What the heck am I doing carrying this gargoyle around? Thats unusual even for me. And its so light for its size. Hmmm Is it possible Im actually dreaming? Nah. Everything seems so real. Look at those trees and that building. And besides, I just had a chat with Gandhi in his tent a little while ago, and he seemed real enough. But what about this gargoyle? I dont normally transport such things from place to place. Maybe I should ask the gargoyle. He doesnt seem to speak English. I wonder if theres a way to ask him in gargoyle-tongue. Something is definitely odd about this situation. Am I absolutely certain this isnt a dream? Wait a minute I remember telling myself that if I ever had to ask that question, then Im definitely dreaming. So this must, in fact, be a dream. At that point I became lucid. I had already gone through a fairly long dream up to that point, so I sensed I didnt have much time left before waking up. My alarm was set for 25 minutes it would be nice if I could get an interface to see the countdown in my dreams. Since it was nighttime in my dream world, it was dark, so I did my let there be light thing, and the sun came up. Then I decided to try to run really fast like the Flash, and that was fun for a bit. Finally I jumped into the air and did some flying, and for some reason I saw a tree that seemed unusually realistic looking, so I flew in for a closer look. I identified it as a maple tree, and I spent a few minutes studying it to see if I could find any flaws that would differentiate this dream tree from a real one. I floated up through the branches and studied their fractal patterns, which seemed just like a normal tree, not a fake computer- generated one. I examined the leaves and noticed how vivid and real they seemed. It looked like a tree, felt like a tree, and smelled like a tree. The only difference I could discern was that the dream tree had an energy to it that made it feel slightly more alive than a real tree. It seemed more real than reality. As I studied the tree, I said to myself, This is remarkable. This looks so incredibly real. Yet supposedly this tree doesnt even exist. So even though I was looking at a tree that supposedly exists only within my imagination, I couldnt see any evidence in the tree itself that would indicate it wasnt just as real and solid as a waking world tree. Now that Im sitting in my office, supposedly wide awake, staring out the window at the trees in my backyard, I have to wonder whether those trees are real either. What evidence do I have that all of reality isnt simply an experience playing out in my own consciousness? Really theres no way to know. I cant escape my own consciousness (can I?), so any evidence of objective reality that comes to me is no different than the same type of evidence presented within my dream world. I even have stable persistent locations in my dreams that seem to evolve over time across years of multiple dream visits, just like physical reality. Partly because of this conundrum, I view my waking reality as similar to my dreams in the sense that everything is taking place within consciousness. Im not the characters (i.e. physical bodies) in those realities Im the conscious being thats having those mental experiences. Once I started thinking this way, I noticed that my dreams became much more vivid. This coincided with my switch to polyphasic sleep as well. My dreams are so realistic and complex now that its hard to tell them apart from waking reality. I have to be triggered by something out of the ordinary, like noticing that Im carrying a gargoyle. The physical matter in my dreams seems so solid and real. About the only difference is that it has a different energy feel to it as if its vibrating at a different frequency. I feel a sense of radiant energy coming off of dream matter that is different from that in the physical world. Perhaps its an alternate reality where the laws of physics are a bit different. One thing I should mention is that when I went to sleep for that midnight nap, I actually put out the intention to have a lucid dream. I hadnt done that in a while, but it was nice to see that it worked the first time. I think Ill try doing that more often, since lucid dreams are a very exciting way to explore alternate realities. Its pretty amazing being fully conscious in your dream world, knowing that your real body is actually sleeping. If you want to learn more about lucid dreaming and try it for yourself, I recommend you read Dr. Stephen LaBerges Lucid Dreaming and Exploring the World of Lucid Dreaming. Theyre the best books Ive read on lucid dreaming and the ones that helped me get started more than 11 years ago. Lucid dreaming is a completely learnable skill.
Lucid Sleeping (Yoga Nidra) Also known as Yoga Nidra , lucid sleeping is among the deepest possible states of relaxation while still maintaining full consciousness. It is not the same as the similarly named "lucid dreaming", though the two can be easily confused, since the practices that lead to lucid sleeping can also generate lucid dreaming. What further confuses the issue is that, as opposed to being completely separate experiences in kind, the two states are actually only different in degree, existing as they do at opposite ends of a particular slice out of the spectrum of consciousness. Hence, lucid sleeping can "slide into" lucid dreaming and vice versa, a fact which can cloud the real difference between the two. The distinguishing difference is the degree to which you remain cognizant of your actual physical environment as opposed to a dream environment. In lucid dreaming, we are only (or mainly) cognizant of the dream environment, and have little or no cognizance of our actual environment. Sounds or events in our actual environment may become translated into very different dream material and we will feel our bodies "moving" just as in normal dreaming. During lucid sleeping, on the other hand, we remain fully cognizant of our physical environment and of the actual content of sounds and other events, and likewise maintain a correct sense of the position of our bodies. Hence, so-called "out of body" experiences are instances of lucid dreaming, even though we may have a sense of the room in which we are sleeping. Nevertheless, the sense of our body as moving in space is dream material, likely initiated by the activity of the propioceptive sensory organs influencing the subconscious mind. What "out of body" experiences nicely demonstrate is the fluid nature of the boundary between lucid sleeping and lucid dreaming, existing as they do at a point somewhere midway between the two. On a final note, neither state is necessarily "deeper" than the other. That said, lucid sleeping can potentially be far deeper, given the kind of brain waves predominantly generated, than lucid dreaming. During any kind of dreaming, we are effectively blocked from the deepest states of relaxation by the generation of dream material, which occurs within a specific range of brain wave frequencies which are relatively high in comparison to those of deep sleep. While engaging in lucid sleep, on the other hand, we can consciously relax ourselves beyond that dreaming range of frequencies into the slowest range of deep sleep frequencies. It is best to attempt this practice only after you have mastered 61 Points insofar as 61 Points is the easier of the two. It serves as a good way to learn how to navigate progressions of points through the body (there are nearly 150 points used in the following Lucid Sleeping exercise), and it also offers a stepping stone to the deeper relaxation youll experience with Lucid Sleeping. It will also likely be necessary to stop practicing 61 Points altogether once you begin with Lucid Sleeping. The format of the concentration points is quite different. If you try to alternate the practices, you can become confused as to the correct progression of the points, which in turn can make you tense and unable to relax. Nor do you want to have to concentrate on remembering which point follows which, as this too will affect your ability to relax. Each point should follow effortlessly and automatically one after the other, with no need to try to remember which one comes next. Of course, the first few times you do the exercise, you will need to make an effort to remember the format, so dont expect to have a deeply relaxing experience right away. Once you know the format by memory, the deep relaxation will follow. The practice is best done lying down on your back. You can place your hands by your sides palms up or else palms down upon your hips/lower belly. Its best to use either no pillow or at most one low pillow beneath your head as your neck should remain fairly flat. Basically, try to be as comfortable as possible so you wont have to move for the duration of the practice. The progression through the points is quite different from 61 Points, both in the specific points used as well as what you do with each point. First off, you dont count or imagine anything at each point. You simply come briefly to rest and then move on to the next point. Secondly, the pace is considerably faster with roughly one second spent at each point. Dont time the movement with the breath. If you like, you can hear a silent, slow mantra such as om, with each repetition lasting roughly 8 seconds, which is to say 8 points. It seems odd that a faster pace can lead to deeper relaxation. The reason is because a steady, slow rhythm is set up which can be very relaxing indeed. But this can only happen once the progression of the points is well memorized and comes automatically. So again, expect to spend some time just learning the progression before you can experience the deeper levels of relaxation. Here is the progression of the points: Right thumb Right index finger Right middle finger Right ring finger Right little finger Right palm Back of right hand Outside right wrist Inside right wrist Inside right lower arm Outside right lower arm Outside right elbow Inside right elbow Inside right upper arm Outside right upper arm Outside right shoulder Right armpit Right side mid chest Right side abdomen Right side iliac crest Right side between iliac crest and hipbone Right hipbone Crease at right side of groin Front of right thigh Back of right thigh Back of right knee Front of right knee Front of right lower leg (shin) Back of right lower leg (calf) Outside right ankle Inside right ankle Top of right ankle Right heel Bottom center of right foot Top center of right foot Right large toe Right second toe Right third toe Right fourth toe Right little toe [Repeat same progression for left side] [Now you proceed down the front of the body] Base of the front of the neck Simultaneously two points to each side Center of upper chest Simultaneously two points to each side Center of mid chest Simultaneously two points to each side Center of lower chest Simultaneously two points to each side Center of upper abdomen Simultaneously two points to each side Center of mid abdomen Simultaneously two points to each side Navel Simultaneously two points to each side Center of lower abdomen Simultaneously two points to each side Upper pubis Simultaneously two points to each side Lower pubis Simultaneously two points to each side Perineum Simultaneously two points to each side Anus Simultaneously two points to each side Tailbone Simultaneously two points to each side Mid sacrum Simultaneously two points to each side Top sacrum Simultaneously two points to each side Lower back Simultaneously two points to each side Lower mid back Simultaneously two points to each side Upper mid back Simultaneously two points to each side Lower upper back Simultaneously two points to each side Mid upper back Simultaneously two points to each side Upper upper back Simultaneously two points to each side Lower back of neck Simultaneously two points to each side Middle back of neck Simultaneously two points to each side Upper back of neck Simultaneously two points to each side Lower back of head Simultaneously two points to each side Middle back of head Simultaneously two points to each side Upper back of head Simultaneously two points to each side Top of head Down to center of head Down to center of neck Down to center of lower neck Down to center of mid chest Down to center of upper abdomen Down to center of belly Down to center of lower belly Back to center of belly At this point, rest your attention for a few moments at the center of your belly. Then imagine a plane that passes through the center of your belly dividing your upper body from your lower body. On the next exhalation, feel the plane pass down through your lower body to the soles of your feet, completely relaxing everything on the way through. On the inhalation, the plane returns to your belly and then, on the exhalation, passes up through your upper body to the top of your head, relaxing everything on the way through. Now the plane turns on its side so that, still passing through your belly, it divides the right side of your body from the left side. On the next exhalation, feel the plane pass through the left side of your body, completely relaxing everything on the way through. On the inhalation, the plane returns to your belly and then, on the exhalation, passes through the right side of your body, relaxing everything on the way through. Now the plane turns flat so that, still passing through your belly, it divides the top half of your body from the bottom half. On the next exhalation, feel the plane pass through the back half of your body, completely relaxing everything on the way through. On the inhalation, the plane returns to your belly and then, on the exhalation, passes through the front half of your body, relaxing everything on the way through. At this point, you should be either fast asleep or else deeply relaxed. If you are still awake, just enjoy the sensations of deep relaxation, allowing yourself to go deeper and deeper, as deeply as you can.
Self Hypnosis for Lucid Dreaming By Rebecca Turner Lucid Dreaming Lucid Dream Forum Self hypnosis is another great tool for lucid dreaming. Like meditation, it draws on the same relaxation response that helps calm your body, reduce stress hormones, and focus your mind on affirmative thoughts. You can use it to program your dreams and increase your self-awareness, teaching your subconscious to recognize when you are dreaming (and thereby trigger lucidity). Hypnotizing yourself is different from meditation because it uses auto suggestion to plant certain thoughts and affirmations. So if you want to use self hypnosis for lucid dreaming, plant suggestions like: "I can remember my dreams" and "I can recognize when I'm dreaming" and "All my dreams are vivid". For a full length hypnosis recording, check out my lucid dreaming hypnosis sessions in The Lucid Dreaming Fast Track . They use guided visualizations and auto suggestions to help incubate lucid dreams every time you listen. What is Self Hypnosis? Hypnosis is the act of sending your brain into a trance, similar to sleep. It makes you more suggestible than normal. It is not unnatural, evil, or mind control! Hypnosis gets a lot of dubious press - most people are familiar with stage hypnotists, who often make fun of people in a trance state. They convince their victims to perform embarrassing tricks such as flapping around like a chicken or humping a chair. In the real world, hypnosis has much more productive uses in therapy and personal development. It gives you the ability to talk to your inner self and program your subconscious mind. So let's dispel a few myths about hypnosis: You are self aware during hypnosis. The deeper you go, the more you will become immersed in an inner reality. But you are always aware of the hypnotist's voice and instructions and what you do. You have complete control over yourself during hypnosis. You may be more suggestible but you still decide what you say and do. You can't be convinced to do anything that breaks your moral code. You can't get stuck in a hypnotic trance. Even if the hypnotist were to keel over midway through a session, you would surface from the trance naturally, just as you wake up after a night's sleep. Everyone can be hypnotized to some degree. We all enter unconscious hypnotic trances every day, whether we are watching TV, going through our morning routine, or staring out the window. Some of us are just more willing to go under than others. It is simply a relaxed state in which we are open to ideas. In self hypnosis, you become closer to your inner voice and more suggestible. You'll enter a deep, relaxing trance, causing the release of endorphins (the natural happy chemicals). You can then plant any number of powerful auto suggestions to improve your life - in this case, to encourage lucid dreaming. How To Hypnotize Yourself While there are a lot of details to learn about hypnosis that will make your session much more effective, here is a quick run-down of the essentials. 1. Get Comfortable Find a comfortable place to sit or lie. Don't cross your arms or legs - have an open posture that is easy to stay in for the next 20 minutes. Allow your eyes to close naturally. Take three deep, slow breaths - releasing any tension and anxiety as you do. Observe the thoughts that enter your mind and gently release them without any interaction. Let yourself float. 2. Release Tension Focus on releasing physical tension throughout your body. Starting from your toes, visualize each muscle relaxing and melting into the furniture. It brings a pleasant, warm feeling of relaxation. Systematically release each muscle group, heightening the sense of relaxation every time. Spend extra time on your shoulders and upper back, which tend to hold a lot of tension. Visualizing soothing water or a golden glow may help to free up the muscles. 3. Visualize Your Way Down Visualize yourself at the top of a staircase. This represents your consciousness. As you descend each stair one at a time, drift deeper and deeper into your soothing, relaxing trance state. Count the steps if you like, starting from 10. Try rolling your eyes gently back into your head and keep your body still. 4. Place Auto-Suggestions Once you reach the bottom of the staircase, you are ready to begin your auto suggestion script. Softly repeat one or more of the following phrases in your mind (choose whichever feels right for you): "I can remember my dreams" "I can have lucid dreams" "I can become conscious in my dreams" "I can realize when I am dreaming" "I can control my dreams" Of course, you can introduce any type of auto suggestion. Just remember to make every phrase positive and in the present tense : "I am calm and relaxed" "I am strong and confident" "I am in control of my destiny" "I can have everything I want" "I am healthy and energetic" 5. Wake Up Gently Repeat your chosen affirmation as many times as you want. Revel in the feeling of deep relaxation. Visualize yourself achieving your goal. When you're ready, prepare to wake up from your trance. Tell yourself you will count to 10, and with each step you will slowly return to full awareness. Then count upwards as you climb the steps in your mind. Take a deep breath when you reach the top, then open your eyes. Sit for a moment if you like - and remember to stand up slowly. Final Thoughts Self hypnosis is a deeply relaxing state. Everyone should try it. I used self hypnosis in my early days of lucid dreaming and became very familiar with the hypnotist's voice on the tape. Even in the first few seconds of hearing his voice, my mind was triggered with a rush of thoughts and feelings about having more vivid dreams and becoming lucid. It became self-perpetuating. I think it's good to fall into a self hypnosis routine - perhaps by listening every night just before sleep or when you wake up in the morning. Your mind will quickly relate the feelings induced with relaxation and lucid dreaming. In NLP this is called anchoring and it's a good way of quickly inducing a feeling or state of mind. There is no better time to do this than when you are in bed ready to dream.

I do not claim that I'm an expert hypnotist, and I do not claim that hypnosis is an absolute alternative compared to actually committing yourself to building your own foundations for lucid dreaming techniques and all that entails to make you a better lucid dreamer. In fact, Hypnosis in general should be considered a supplement or complimentary towards your lucid dreaming endeavors. And a word of warning, whether you find yourself recording your own scripts (or the scripts I've made from trial and error) or just reading them to yourself, it's ideal that you do it in a safe environment where you're not operating machinery (or doing a work assignment that requires your full attention). Of course, machinery other than laptops, computers, etc. that won't pose a risk to you. And you should take my ideas as a supplement towards your own endeavor in unfolding what Hypnosis can truly do for you in dreaming and in life in general! I am not responsible for anything that happens if you find yourself trying to practice hypnosis in dangerous situations (i.e. Driving a car). The first portions of this guide will cover what Hypnosis is NOT, so that we all will be aware later on with what it is, so that we may find ourselves connecting the dots when attempting self-hypnosis sessions. [1.2]Introduction Hello everyone! After going through several months experimenting with self- hypnosis, I found myself being able to grasp and conceptualize the rudiments behind it that may be used as a supplement for your lucid dreaming endeavors. The word "Hypnosis" itself has so much weight into it because there are varied interpretations of it, and generally, in order for one to truly understand it, they must understand what it is not. So when you are ready and comfortable, allow yourself to pay close attention to the common misconceptions of Hypnosis. [1.3]What Hypnosis is NOT Hypnosis means I'll lose all sense of control and awareness of what's going on. Hypnosis, no matter how experienced you are in it, no matter how you are able to understand the rudiments behind it (such as it being used as a process to bypass the critical factor and such), if the contents within the hypnosis-related activities contradict or CHALLENGES our moral code, it simply will not work. The reason being is, having those predispositions that are ingrained so deeply within the confines of our minds, even if we reach deeper levels of suggestibility, if it does not conform to our moral code, it will be difficult or nearly impossible for the person practicing it to make the session work. Now, the person who is being hypnotized is in full control over themselves, and the reason people may have an misconception of lack of control or no control is simply because they're confusing it with the emotional tranquility that comes with performing self-hypnosis. You are aware of what's going on, because you're having inward concentration towards the task at hand, and you can instantly follow and stop the self-hypnosis session with ease. Hypnosis is sleep or I'll become unconscious from it Hypnosis, like I've stated before, has the participant(s) being able to be completely aware of what's going on, since it's more of a process that leads to guided concentration. Unless you actually make a script to emulate feelings of transcending to sleep, hypnosis does not mean sleep mode. Think of Hypnosis as a PROCESS in order to get to a trance, and understand that there are other processes that can get us into a trance. So to quickly summarize what I've stated, Hypnosis is the process, trance is the result. And in general, it's a self-induced trance, whether you do it by yourself or someone does it to you. The reason being is that because you're allowing another person to guide you, they are more as conduits that help you ease yourself into a trance state (the result) that allows you to be in a more suggestive state. Hypnosis is all mumbo jumbo and magic and a bunch of sorcery, so it clearly must be fake! Now, things pertaining to psychosomatic, physiological, psychological and other conditions (and learning how to moderate them) are topics in Science that still has gaps in it. However, Hypnosis in general, based on the rudiments behind it, is not voodoo, black magic, or sorcery. The reason you may have those predispositions is simply because of the shows and stage acts with classical hypnosis (i.e. The magician that somehow makes the participants say Moo and really think they're cows). An important concept you must realize is that in order for things like that to work, the participants are considered volunteers. Imagine why the word volunteers is utilized (or words synonymous to it), it's because when everyone knows what may happen, the question itself has people being suggestible to the event to come. However, let's say a person's moral code is that they can't dance because of cultural practices that discourage the act. So if a magician or some stage hypnotist wanted the person to dance, chances are, they won't comply, because it's against their moral code. I know you're wondering how that can relate to anything, but it's just an example to remind you on how our moral codes affect the result of hypnosis sessions. Hypnosis involves being able to manipulate a person entirely It seems because of the events in history of misconceptions with Hypnosis, people tend to presume you're being manipulated and controlled (like the first concept I introduced in this section of the guide). However, it brings me back to saying once more that Hypnosis does not mean you can destroy a person's moral code, or strip them entirely from it. And as you go through your self-hypnosis sessions, you'll begin to notice that when you feel the emotional tranquility that comes with it (and having higher inward concentration with other obvious states), it's because the content within the scripts (or audio you recorded on your own or from someone else) complies within the schema of your moral codes. [1.4]Transderivational Search & The Unconscious Transderivational Search essentially means a phenomenon in which aspects of our mind will scavenge the confines of our unconscious in order to find some relation or connecting the dots with something that may be particularly vague or seemingly ambiguous. You may be wondering how this can tie into lucid dreaming and using hypnosis as a supplement for your endeavors, am I right? If you want a more detailed explanation on this phenomenon, then check out the Wikipedia link below: Transderivational search - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia If you understand this concept already or find yourself realizing it after reading several definitions behind it, you might find yourself already experiencing it throughout reading this guide. And I'll give you examples of how this phenomenon typically happens, and I wonder if you'll realize how easy it is to identify how these scenarios can relate to conversations and storytelling! [1.5]Examples of Digging Into the Unconscious to Relate to the Situation & Using it In Self-Hypnosis The following below are examples of how we might find our unconscious digging through its experiential totality (and implicit knowledge) to relate to a particular event or situation. And the examples below, you can find more by searching around on things related to leading statements (like the transderivational search). You know how when...you...? ---You know how when you go to a grocery store, you see someone you know and you talk to them for a bit and say your goodbyes, only to to see that you meet them again in a different aisle and it starts becoming awkward? I know you're wondering.... ---I know you're wondering why hypnosis can help you obtain an inward concentration in order to reach a certain outcome right? It's a good habit to speculate on these things! Just pretend for a moment... ---Just pretend for a moment on how it would feel to have the mannerisms of being relaxed at your own pace and what's comfortable for you. My friend (Name)... ---Ah! That reminds me of my friend, Bob, who also found himself in that predicament, and what he did in order to get out of that situation was to simply let go and move on. Imagine... ---Imagine for a moment of seeing yourself in the car you want to be in, how it feels comfortable the moment you sit on it. You realize how you get that vibe that this is the right car because of how it feels to you. When you realize... ---When you realize the underlying meaning behind lucid dreaming guides, you'll see that creating your own foundations is how you can truly succeed. Remember... ---Remember that time where you felt as if you couldn't get out of a situation, only to have a shift in mentality that enabled you to overcome it? You might find yourself realizing how easy it was for you to associate those moments because your unconscious was quickly digging up contents within your experiential totality and learning to associate to them. It's part of how with implicit knowledge and transderivational search and other factors come into play in order for us to relate to a person, as if we have a natural predisposition to find events and moments that can match and mirror to the situation/event being talked about. This creates a sense of harmony whenever you find yourself talking to someone that you could talk with for hours and hours! You know it's happened to you at some point in your life, and if not, you can still find those moments whenever you watch television or go on the Internet and watch videos of people interacting with each other and being gregarious individuals. If you take advantage of how this system our minds go through to match and mirror things that may happen with a story or event (like the My friend, [NAME] example I posted), you might realize why hypnosis can be a powerful supplement towards your lucid dreaming endeavors. With practice, you can literally overload your conscious mind, so that the thoughts you can't fathom all at once seeps into your unconscious mind, and since your unconscious mind has better grasp of conceptualizing more things, if not, all things you have in your experiential totality and learning, then surely you're aware of more things than you think you do. So the reason why reading a hypnosis script (or saying it mentally while mouthing the words), or even engaging by listening to an audio of yourself or someone saying a hypnosis script, you might be able to really get into a trance state, a state of inward concentration that focuses at the task desired and removes the distractions. This is why that even though you may think you're not processing things properly consciously, your unconscious is going to utilize its vast implicit knowledge to take care of the rest. This is one of many fundamental aspects that can make Hypnosis effective, and how it can overload the critical factor we have so much that while its busy being distracted by the content, your unconscious mind is already getting the patterns and using implicit knowledge to associate and connect. [1.6]What is the Critical Factor? The Critical Factor is the part of our mind that uses comparative analysis that allows us to make conscious reasoning with incoming information. It can be a nasty thing to deal with, and it can sometimes affect us negatively because it's meant to protect our schema of reality, concepts, and presumptions and knowledge of things. A simple example that I feel we can all imagine for a moment: When a newcomer (in general) or even a seasoned member makes a particular topic related to a problem they're having with their dreaming endeavors, you might realize how they use things like: I've went through countless of threads but haven't been able to get anything that can help me out! And you might find yourself knowing how when someone offers their suggestion and insight, the original poster might respond, Well I already tried that or I already know that, and I know I have to do [so and so], but it's not working! Notice how this is that part of their mind that already went through the workings and unfortunately wasn't able to have any luck with the attempts. And you may be wondering how threads like that usually ends up with someone mentioning (in varied ways) practicing perseverance with what that person knows. And you're also wondering how this can relate to this guide, well, if you allow me to address that our interaction with the critical factor with lucid dreaming techniques can be a hit and miss. And only with practice and diligence, we may find the critical factor eventually welcoming our attempts (or being distracted/ interrupted) while the unconscious mind will already get the suggestions and develop and redefine its own blueprint of processing and conceptualizing things like: How to do a WILD/MILD/DILD/DEILD/etc. How to recall dreams better Dealing with Lack of Motivation with Dry Spells Etc. Think of the critical factor as the bouncer outside a bar or club building, or even a gate guardian, or a royal knight in a luxurious and gargantuan castle. It's protecting what's inside, the totality of our unconscious mind, which is a good thing because if we were really that suggestive towards anything that comes to our perception of reality, we would all have an inconsistent schema of viewing reality. But it can also be a bad thing because when we're trying to add new suggestions or building conditioned responses, even when we can visualize and enforce prospective memory, it takes some repetition until it's accepted. [1.7]How To Bypass/Interrupt/Distract The Critical Factor To give a quick overview on how we eventually accomplish this feat (but not limited to just this list mind you): 1. There's people who use techniques like mantras and affirmations that have to hammer the repeated phrase or saying to where they finally tired out the critical factor and the suggestions are implanted (but usually involves some back- and-forth motion with relapses and motivation and using conscious willpower. 2. There's people who use techniques like mantras and affirmations, except they use guided imagery (or things related to prospective memory, which is building up strong emotional moments and such) to get to the desired outcome. They are able to pour their heart and soul and practice to be able to build conditioned responses to succeed in their MILD attempts (or any other lucid dreaming technique) 3. There are people who use self-hypnosis as a supplement, a mental rehearsal for what they know will come, and then attempting their lucid dreaming techniques with that increased inward concentration that gives assurance that with practice, whether they fail or succeed, their unconscious is going to use implicit knowledge and transderivational search to redefine and polish every attempt. 4. Doing things at night (you definitely wouldn't have an over- analytical mind 2AM-4 AM for a Wake Back to Bed (WBTB) right?) I know you're wondering on my opinion pertaining to #1, and I'm not aiming to make a narrow-minded response towards the use of mantras and affirmations. If you are able to easily visualize and imagine where you want to be and knowing how you'll get there, and you can use the mantra as a guide in reaching there, then by all means, continue using it. When I mentioned how one is essentially trying to hammer things down in comparison #1, it is simply just that. Whether you type or say a mantra over and over, such as (but not limited to): Counting from 1-10 or 1-5 and repeating Typing/Saying/Writing I will have lucid dream or Eyes shut, mouth closed, body still, I will find myself being able to become aware of my dreams," or whatever mantra/phrase/ saying. You are doing constant repetition (initially with mantras/ sayings/phrases) until you tired out the critical factor and it eventually gets accepted, which usually leaves you exhausted at times (but it gets less exhausting with practice of course). Just like how the critical factor is the bouncer/gate guardian/ royal knight protecting our unconscious, when you do mantras without the whole feeling it as well and other aspects, it's like trying to battle with your analytical side. Imagine how that would end up! You find yourself finally being able to beat the bouncer to the pulp, but you had some backlash from the bouncer as well. And as you finally get up with some bruises and cuts on your face and body, you're finally able to walk into the club/area the guardian was protecting/castle the royal knight was over-watching. (I.e. Saying over and over Eyes shut, mouth closed, body still, I will find myself being able to become aware of my dreams.) Now, you can take that route, it's going to lead to the same result eventually (lucidity or just better dream recall or what have you), which is why I heavily encourage you to see hypnosis as a supplement that might make the route a little easier for you (so you sweet-talk with the bouncer or the critical factor instead of fighting against it). And you don't need to use hypnosis if you feel you're confident enough with battling and tiring out your critical factor like that. And even with comparison #2, hypnosis can be a supplement to augment that ability you've made a conditioned response to with building prospective memory and guided imagery. But hypnosis is not necessary, since it's just a process that leads towards guided concentration with a self-induced trance state as the result, and there are many processes to reach a trance state. Hypnosis is about sweet-talking with the critical factor, so that its overloaded with trying to grasp and conceptualize the data being given, and while it's distracted/interrupted, the embedded messages are already seeped into the unconscious mind to utilize its implicit knowledge to connect the dots, to find the needle in the haystack. [1.8] General Format of Self-Hypnosis/Hypnosis Scripts Here is a blueprint on how Hypnosis scripts generally go: 1. Gathering Attention 2. Being Obvious with mentioning the goal (usually one goal is ideal to have better concentration, and with practice, you can extend that to two or more goals) 3. Making Agreement Frames (To prime the mind to get into a Yes, Yes, Yes ,Yes! format) 4. When the Critical Factor is distracted/interrupted/sweet- talked/persuaded, you might start feeling the emotional tranquility, or going through gradual relaxation 5. Fraction and implanting, and repeating the process (to continue distracting the critical factor and implant suggestions for the unconscious to use implicit knowledge to find the underlying meanings with thoughts you couldn't fathom all at once consciously). 6. Creating Unconscious Responses and Triggers (i.e. Priming the Transderivational Search even more) 7. Shifting the Unconscious Towards the Desired Result/ Outcome/Solution (and usually ends with a count up or even count down along with being able to practice and conceptualize things better in the future) Of course, there's much more to it than that, but I won't be going too into that. Now that you know the general idea of how Hypnosis Scripts typically work, the next thing I'll be going through is an example Hypnosis Script! [1.9] Example Hypnosis Script - Dream Task of the Month Hypnosis Script The following example hypnosis script will pertain to accomplishing dream tasks of the month (and you can switch it around for dream task of the year obviously) that can be found here: Task of the Month Warning: Please do not listen to your recording of this script (if you make one of it) or go through saying this script (orally or mentally while mouthing the words) if you're operating machinery (other than a laptop, computer, etc.) When you're ready to focus all of your attention towards the example script and are in a comfortable position, read the following content in italics. Dream Task of the Month Hypnosis Script Example (If you see a ... between words, imagine yourself pausing in between to really absorb what will come next) So now that you know what you must do, feel free to read the content in italics below: Spoiler for Dream Task of the Month Hypnosis Script: Hide Now that you are seated comfortably, you will be able to relax....sit back....focus....and enjoy learning and accomplishing your goal for the Dream Task of the Month. As you're sitting there comfortably, you might find yourself being able to shift yourself to an inward state of concentration to achieve the tasks easily. So let's just pretend for a moment on what it would be like to accomplish a Dream Task of the Month. You might find yourself being able to utilize the skills you've learned as a dreamer with ease because of how your unconscious is able to conceptualize things for you whenever you're busy consciously figuring out what to do. Because your unconscious, the storehouse and the database of the experiences, memories, skills, and abilities you have within your mind is there, and because you know that you can only consciously remember a few things, your unconscious mind takes care of the rest of information and thoughts that seeps into your mind and expands them to something beneficial for you. It is able to make connections to what you learned before and neatly makes a format that you can structurally follow with ease, because that's its job. You may notice that because of this, because of your unconscious being able to process more information within your mind, that you actually know more than you think you do to. It's not necessary that you worry too much about this, because you'll notice that this process comes by naturally all by itself. Because the unconscious is able to process and dig through what you've accumulated throughout your life, you'll be able to let go and feel relaxed and confident in its ability to do so. Because every time you find yourself wanting to accomplish a task, you'll begin to notice it takes peaceful collaboration with your conscious and unconscious mind. As you're seated comfortably, you're imagining the mannerisms of what it's like to be relaxed and at ease with yourself, especially when trying to accomplish a task. I know that you're learning things now because you're able to let your mind become open to new possibilities and ways to accomplish the dream task of the month. In fact, it's a good thing you're learning things now by being seated comfortably and imagining what it's like to be relaxed, because this state of tranquility will allow you to absorb the contents in an enjoyable and engaging learning process. You should remember that accomplishing a task means knowing how to enjoy the journey of reaching there as well. As you're going through imagining what it would be like go through gradual stages of relaxation, your unconscious mind will easily do its job in gathering and digging through ways to make your dreaming endeavor of finishing the dream task of the month that much easier. The more that you are able to easily imagine what it would be like to accomplish the smaller tasks, the more you are able to easily connect the dots to finish the bigger tasks. Have you ever started learning something new and discovered ways to truly enjoy it? You might find yourself being able to easily recall the moments and the sensations you felt after you tackled a challenging task, big or small. Perhaps a moment where you were ready to face a new challenge because of how you found yourself overcoming previous tasks in life and in your dreams. And you know you can, can you not? You can't stop it, can you? That's because your unconscious' ability in being able to pull and grab everything to match and mirror your desire will always be there. You can choose to either learn these sensations consciously now, or later on in your natural sleep. So when you find yourself descending into your natural sleep, your unconscious will be able to easily create a dreamscape suited for your intentions to accomplish certain tasks. It will be able to find the needle within the haystack that the storehouse is of your memories, experiences, and abilities is of accomplishing tasks in a natural and relaxed manner. Sooner or later, you may notice the the feeling of comfort that comes with being aware of this natural ability to take tasks easily one step at a time. Inch by inch, things will become a cinch for you and your unconscious, because it will continue making neurological connections whether you want to feel the sensations now, or later on during your peaceful sleep. And as you find yourself being able to imagine yourself in peaceful sleep, you'll be able have the sense of awareness when aiming for a lucid dream. It isn't necessary that you worry too much about this awareness, because I wonder if you realized that because of previous moments of lucidity, you were able to shift yourself easily into the dreaming state! There's no need to worry about having to concentrate on achieving that lucidity in your descent towards sleep, because it will happen naturally. Whether you're non-lucid or lucid in your dreams, you'll be able to easily remember the moments that led to you to accomplishing the dream tasks of the months with ease, one task at a time. Because after all, when you notice how your mind conceptualizes and imagines what it would be like to be lucid in your dreams, that ability, that experience, will continue to be redefined and polished as the days, weeks, and months go by. It's always growing, expanding, and you can choose to improve that now, or later on when you've reached the right sensation that's comfortable for you. Now that you have all the knowledge you need, you may find yourself being able to learn how to accomplish tasks, big or small, within the confines of your mind and where you can truly allow your unconscious to create a dreaming environment ideal for the dream tasks you're naturally interested in. As soon as you're ready to prepare yourself for better awareness of your dreams and accomplishing dream tasks, you're going to count up from one to five. As you're sitting there preparing to count up to five, you may notice how easy it is to continue holding onto your concentration better without giving too much effort, because your unconscious mind will be the one that deals with the balancing. You really shouldn't make changes IMMEDIATELY to anything part of your behavior, because you'll have more than enough time, in fact, all the time you want to welcome the types of changes you want introduced to you. When you find yourself realizing this, you'll allow yourself to count up from one to five. So let's do that now. One, feeling relaxed and confident as you prepare for natural sleep. Two, stretching a bit and feeling more aware of what you must do now. Three, you're feeling your muscles loosening, enabling you to shift into natural sleep. Four, becoming more aware of the things you do and how you'll achieve them. Five, fully relaxed, confident, and ready to descend into natural sleep! [2.0] Breakdown & Analysis of Example Hypnosis Script Now, see how easy that was? It doesn't have to be picture perfect or too long, the script itself was only 2 and 1/4 pages long, which would most likely equal into 6-7 minutes of actually saying it or hearing yourself or someone's voice saying it in a recording! You'll begin to notice how I stated the obvious, the goals in mind, and how a person will find themselves being able to shift into an inward concentration, and from there, it's merely about distracting the critical factor to where we can't fathom everything all at once. Things must be taken unconsciously and learned unconsciously while the person is busy going through the contents of the script, and with practice and developing tonality, the embedded suggestions are already implanted. This was just a simple script that went along with the 7 points I mentioned beforehand, and trust me, you can easily find yourself being able to create these scripts on your own the more you practice and let your mind be spontaneous and engaging. I know you're probably wondering how one can develop the tonality with having a hypnotist voice., well check out the next section for some tips in doing so! [2.1]Secrets in Developing the Hypnotist Voice & Tonality The words in whatever hypnosis script you read or whatever audio hypnosis you listen to, you'll begin to notice how there's shifts in tonalities, all coming full circle and easily shifting from one idea to the next. Here are some tips in developing tonality and the hypnotist voice within you: Go headstrong, Imagine yourself visualizing the mannerisms of what it would be like to talk calmly and slowly. In order for you to conceptualize what to write/type/say, you have to get yourself into the state of being. Pay more attention to advertisements and notice how easy it is for you to identify the types of tonalities they utilize and the words they use to create an emotional impact towards people. (I.e. BUT WAIT THERE'S MORE!!!! or You following me camera guy??!) Understand concepts with copy-writing (see definition in the link below): ( Copywriting - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia ) Because you'll be able to know how to find power words, leading statements, and such that companies, writers, etc. Use to promote their business/service/etc. Pay attention to the people you interact, especially those you tell stories to. Notice how you tend to shift towards certain words with a certain express (I.e. Man! Tried to get past rush hour only to end up dealing with a boring and exhausting wait in traffic! Ughhhhh...). Also notice how people feel when they talk about how great their day is going, or how excited they are to wait for a holiday to come. Listen to a few hypnosis videos on Youtube and such to see how the person is using a voice for certain occasions. There are times where you talk in a relaxed manner, and there are times you talk a bit faster and with more energy. And here are examples of how using words with the wrong tonality can confuse and often make the experience weird and inconsistent: Bad example #1: I want you to relax right now! Loosen your muscles, relax your jaw, quickly! You must find yourself being able to get into the hypnotic state immediately! Quickly! Slowly find yourself relaxing and easing into a state of concentration right now! Begin to notice how you're learning at a deeper and unconscious level immediately! You can already tell that was an annoying experience, having to quickly shift into certain ideas and thoughts in the wrong manner. You definitely wouldn't want to hear yourself talk like that in trying to relax yourself, and you most definitely wouldn't want to hear a hypnotist saying that to you or even an audio on YouTube doing that. Bad example #2: This is what you would do if you were to talk slowly when there are words that obviously shift you into being more energetic, spontaneous, and quick. I want you to quickkkkkly find yourself being able to rapidddddly conceptualizing what it would be like to have a spontaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaneous mind that let's loose of all blocks and censoring instanttttttlly. Now, that example wasn't that hard to see what was wrong with it. The point being, in order to know when to shift to a specific type of tonality, you'll have to keep practicing and becoming aware of the people around you. Go to a coffee shop or somewhere that has people really being social and personal with each other, and see how people are engaging through a mental harmony with each other, how they go about their day speaking what's on their mind with different tonalities without even realizing it. [2.2] Secrets in How to Listen to Audio Hypnosis If you were to listen to yourself in a recording of you stating a hypnosis script (or by chance listening to me saying a script in a recording), here are some tips to ensure you don't end up developing passiveness and making the sounds white noise or background noise. Whenever you're listening to an audio hypnosis, the aim is for you to be engaged with the person's voice (be it your own voice or another person's voice). The reason being is, you have to imagine as if you're going through a conversational hypnosis with that person. You allow them to go through those sayings in order for you to bypass your critical factor (or disrupting/interrupting it). You start feeling their tonalities, how they express themselves, as if they're gathering an aura or essence within themselves that extends out like a hand the gently taps your shoulder and eases you into tranquility. In order to do this, I emphasize how it's important for you to be aware of the people you interact with and those you find yourself going through mental harmony with. Audio hypnosis (listening to a script you said or someone else said) can work, but you have to imagine it as a mental rehearsal just like doing the same orally on your own. You have to be headstrong, go in the situation first so you can know those sensations at a faster rate with practice. [2.3] List of Words of Power Words of power simply means words or phrases that allows one to flow easily from one idea to the next, which is useful when building your own hypnosis script. You may notice these are some words I used in the example hypnosis script for the Dream Task of the Month! As Because And Means (and other variants of it such as Which means this means, etc.) These are words of power that can allow you to go in and out with suggestions, and when you notice yourself listening to an audio hypnosis, you'll see how you tend to accept them naturally. And you may also notice how I've used them throughout this guide as well (and words such as Now and most importantly, you). I encourage you to look for more words of powers and leading statements, and if you want more information, it's best to check out concepts pertaining to the Milton Model of Hypnosis. You'll be able to see it plastered all over the Internet and in books, since Milton H. Erickson was known to be an iconic figure in relation to medical hypnosis and family therapy. [2.4] Final Thoughts & One More Secret To Know About The most important thing that I want you to be able to get out of this guide is that Hypnosis, just like any other process in learning how to become lucid, having better dream recall, etc., just because you memorized the techniques, mechanisms, and rudiments behind it, it doesn't mean you're set in stone for success. What truly makes Hypnosis a useful supplement (just like with anything), is the Emotional Impact you can create for yourself. You may notice that the more you do this, the more you find you can tap into the unconscious and use its implicit knowledge and gain empathy for others and yourself as an individual. And because with the concepts of transderivational search and extending that phenomenon with hypnosis, you'll start becoming aware of yourself at a deeper, unconscious, and emotional level. Just like with MILDs, Affirmations, WILD, DILDS, anything really, diligence, perseverance and hard worked COMBINED with creating genuine and deeply emotional states of being is what distinguishes those who are merely copycats vs. Those who build their own foundations from the techniques and the rudiments behind them. Now that you know what self-hypnosis can do for you generally (and some of the processes behind it), feel free to test out the Hypnosis Scripts I have laid out for you! You'll find yourself understanding both consciously and unconsciously of how I created these scripts from the fundamentals. And honestly, I would love to mention more mechanisms, but even when you have all the information that you can get out of this, it's about learning how to mentally rehearse where you want to be, and how you know you'll get there. So if you think hypnosis is magic, think again, it's just like any supplement, take it in moderation. However, because of what hypnosis does, there's rarely any plateau effect compared to using actual lucid aids (dream drugs, etc.) simply because what's preventing a person from having consistent success with hypnosis is them not being able to create an emotional impact towards their goals. I know you're wondering, Isn't this just to get us motivated to do things? Well yes, it is, why wouldn't I or anyone want to do something that can help us get to where we want to be? But it's more than just being motivated in things, it's about seeing how the processes that gets us there and using it to let us grow as individuals. Thank you all for reading the contents of this guide , and if you haven't read it completely, that's perfectly fine, but if you find yourself not understanding a few things, you probably just weren't able to read the guide in its entirety. However, because I had to put this guide as concise as I could (I know that's an understatement), I will be more than happy to answer ANY questions you have to the best of my abilities. Please notice that my views expressed in this guide were based on what I collected and experimented back and forth endlessly for about 8-10 months. I mostly aimed to use hypnosis for real life situations rather than dreaming (lucid dreaming became much easier with hypnosis, at least for me). Now that I've conceptualized and built my own schema of things with hypnosis (and I know I can always improve and redefine my schema of it), I've recently started getting better progress. And you can too! [2.5] Frequently Asked Questions) FAQ These are obviously questions I've made up since I'm sure these will come up eventually: How long should the Hypnosis Scripts Be? There isn't an absolute standard you should go by, but a general rule of thumb, to really get some progress (in my opinion), 2-4 pages is something you can aim for. It may seem like a lot, but you'll find yourself being able to know the process of making a script. There's really no page limit you should go for, but just know that putting it concise will be easier for you so you don't wake up feeling groggy and too lazy to listen or read a script that's too long. And the secret to being able to make those types of script is to take things ONE step at a time. Those 7 points I mentioned with how hypnosis scripts generally work, do them one step at a time and think and question where do I go to next? Allow your mind to be spontaneous, you don't have to be picture perfect! Your subconscious and unconscious will get the bigger picture. The idea with the scripts is to extend the transderivational search while being able to bypass/disrupt/ interrupt the critical factor within us. And when that happens, when you find yourself expressing yourself at a deeper and emotional level (with tonalities and being able to understand the concepts of storytelling and building harmony with yourself and others), that's when hypnosis can really shine. It's not perfect, it has the chance of not working, but when you start building your own schema of conceptualizing it with practice, hard work, diligence, perseverance, and with emotion, the probability of it failing is reduced. When Should I Stop Using the Hypnosis Scripts? A general rule of thumb is, if you want to know when you should stop using the scripts, is to just be analytical of the process when you used them. This is so you know how to emulate those same sensations because of what the hypnosis session did for you to mentally rehearse those feelings. Imagine it this way, if you find yourself going through a dry spell, or that you feel you're rusty because you haven't tried recalling dreams and lucid dreaming for quite some time, Hypnosis can be a supplement that gets you into creating those emotional triggers again and convincing the unconscious mind to scavenge the experiential totality and learning you've accumulated and find what's right for you. What if I can't find time to say the scripts because I don't want to make too much noise? You can mentally read it with your mind-voice and mouth the words, and if you can still express tonalities well with it, that can be one way to prevent making too much noise (especially if you don't want your family members questioning what you're doing). And if anything, just mentally reading it can be another option, however, you might become passive because we can scroll through mentally reading it without actually trying to say or mouth the contents. The oral aspect (mouthing it or saying it, or even listening to it) increases the chance for the unconscious to dig deeper to find moments to relate to the goal you have in mind with hypnosis sessions. How Many Scripts Should I Do Per Day/ How Many Times Should I do a Particular Script? Ideally, you want to use a script aimed for one goal (that can encompass smaller goals) simply because it causes less overload for your mind (I know that's contradicting since I mentioned how hypnosis is a process to overload the critical factor so it's distracted/interrupted/etc., but one goal that is repeated in varied ways is something you should consider doing initially. That's because you want to be able to see yourself building conditioned responses and emotional unconscious triggers for a particular goal (since hypnosis aids in guided and inward concentration along with guided imagery and other aspects). When you feel confident, you can make a script with two goals in mind, or even more, but just know that you'll have to pour out your heart and soul even more. But that will become easier the more you do it in time. Just take things gradually and see what happens, and extend things a bit when you feel confident. If you find yourself being overwhelmed, take things down a notch, and just work from there until you're ready next time. Should I use I or You within the Script(s)? From personal experience, it doesn't really matter, since either way, it's meant to give you guided concentration, and as long as you know it's meant for your own personal endeavors, your success won't be heavily affected stating I or You when you're talking things out or listening to yourself or someone's voice. Remember, the words are just one small percentage, what really matters is your tonality or you being able to embrace the tonality of your voice or another person's when listening. Aren't MILDs and breathing while mentally saying them or saying them physically a hypnotic experience? Mantras, mnemonics, and short phrases can all contribute into bypassing the critical factor, so yes, in a way, they do allow you to perform hypnosis. However, people tend to assume that because you're in hypnosis, that you must be in a trance. However, Hypnosis is the PROCESS of bypassing/interrupting/ disrupting the critical factor, and when that's done, self- induced trance is the result. You might start feeling the emotional tranquility as you're going through the hypnosis, but its result is the trance. However, this is just my opinion, and it may change in the future, but for now, until I find out it's something else, Hypnosis is simply the process that can help lead to the result of being in a trance. Mantras can be considered doing slight hypnosis, and when you build conditioned responses, you are in fact able to bypass the critical factor more (when you understand how to put emotion and feeling into those mantras and sayings, i.e. Your tonality), however, that's a hit and miss. The reason why it's a hit and miss is because you have to be able to consistently create emotional impact, and sometimes when you're not prepared to do that, you might have varied results of success with it. Which is why if you use hypnosis as a supplement with MILD, you have that mental rehearsal established the more you practice at it, so mantras can be easier to do because when you build conditioned responses to unconsciously know the feelings and tonalities behind the mantras/sayings/short phrases, MILD can definitely have its efficacy increased. What kind of Hypnosis are you explaining in this guide, NLP Hypnosis, Conversational Hypnosis, or the Milton H. Erickson's Hypnosis Model? You could call this type of hypnosis explained in this guide overall elements of Conversational Hypnosis, but the rudiments behind them (both NLP and Conversational Hypnosis) are derived from Milton H. Erickson's Hypnosis Model and the Meta Model that you can find definitions online. You might get varied opinions on this, and just know that this is based on what I've researched over the months to the best of my abilities. This type of Hypnosis I'm covering is more of the indirect approach, seeing how using certain language patterns (from Erickson's language patterns mostly) to prime and extend the time with transderivational search that we have within our minds when given an overload of things that are too much for the critical factor to fathom all at once. NLP Hypnosis and Conversational Hypnosis can be the same in terms of the language patterns (that Erickson is an iconic figure for building a list of), but their techniques are different. Usually NLP Hypnosis (like how street hypnosis is practiced) involves engaging with people that may not be in a deep trance, while conversational hypnosis can be used more indirectly and has more potential to lead to deeper self- induced trance states. And I personally feel Conversational Hypnosis, at least the rudiments behind it and how NLP Hypnosis can be encroached into practice here and there (but not as much in this guide), is effective for your lucid dreaming endeavors with any techniques, aids, etc. This is just my opinion, and I'm aiming to find more reasons to falsify it, but currently, it seems my perspective on it will be the same until something persuasive and convincing comes up. I will edit if that time comes. Where Can I Find These Milton Language Pattern Cards/List? I can't provide links, seeing how that might end up being advertisement for something, and I don't want to have disputes with the wonderful staff here. Just do a simple search engine search on Milton's Language pattern cards, and you'll be able to find it with ease. Hope this helps. [2.6] List of Hypnosis Scripts For You To Use Here are a few hypnosis scripts I created recently, these aren't meant to be picture perfect, and the more I create hypnosis scripts on my own, and the more I find myself making emotional impact towards these scripts when reading or hearing them, the more I can become better at redefining them in the future. So expect to see more hypnosis scripts compared to these in the future, and FEEL FREE to post any of your own custom- made scripts as well! Warning, please make sure you're in a safe environment and that you stop what you're doing in order to pay full attention reading/listening/or speaking out the contents of a script. [2.61]Improving Dream Recall Hypnosis Script Spoiler for Improving Dream Recall Hypnosis Script: Hide Now that you're seated comfortably, you may notice that you'll be able to learn at a conscious and unconscious level throughout this hypnosis session to improve your dream recall. Notice that as you're sitting there gradually finding yourself being relaxed, you'll be able to imagine what it would be like to have better dream recall. People can, you know, train themselves to recall their dreams better the more they practice the fundamentals behind it. You might want to breathe in and out slower now....feeling yourself being relaxed every time you do so, because breathing is something that comes by naturally. Just like how being able to imagine what it would be like to have improved dream recall is also a natural and easy process to do. Just imagine for a moment on where you had a situation where you woke up and found yourself having difficulty recalling your dreams. You might realize that this usually happens because you moved too quickly, because moving too quickly disrupted you to unconsciously grab and learn the contents you experienced within your dreams with ease. The more you found yourself relaxing and remaining calm, the more you were able to unconsciously grab elements that helped you recalled things better. What would it be like if you could wake up anytime and being able to be relaxed and calm to recall your dreams better? You can choose to let that thought process now, or later on in your natural sleep. Because in order to recall things better, you simply have to have a desire to remember it, and this desire can come by naturally because recalling dreams can truly be an enjoyable experience with practice and effort. The more you find yourself recalling your dreams, the more you're allowing yourself to make neurological connections to have a structural format of storytelling when recalling your dreams. Because dreams themselves are like stories, just like telling stories of your life events to your friends, families, and others. How would it feel if you were able to make this change of seeing your dreams as stories, windows to another experience in your natural sleep? How would it feel to be able to recall these stories, glimpses into your expansive and growing mind? You might realize that in order to have better recall, you might find yourself seeing having a dream journal as a useful supplement to sustain all the memories and experiences within your dream, both non-lucid and lucid. And as you're sitting there aiming to have better dream recall, you'll begin to notice that your desire to recall your dreams makes dream journals an enjoyable medium to get your thoughts out. Whether if you're typing, writing, or even recording with your voice of your dreams, you'll be able have an easier time getting those thoughts out naturally. Every time you wake up, you'll find yourself having a natural ability to relax and focus on the dreams you experienced, since you know, everyone has dreams. You can't stop it, can you? Because it's something natural and something enjoyable to remember, because you can learn from your dreams if you have the desire to do so. So will you learn to enjoy this simple fact that most people can now, or later on in your natural sleep? When you find yourself seeing bits of dream elements coming together to make a natural and easy to follow story or journey to recall, the more you'll be able to unconsciously connect the dots. You don't have to worry about putting too much effort into recalling your dreams naturally, because in order to have better dream recall, you must allow your unconscious to collaborate with you.
