  1. Want to try lucid dreaming? The easiest reality check is the nose pinch test.

    👉 In real life: pinch your nose & try to breathe → air stops.
    👉 In a dream: do the same → you'll still breathe through the pinch.

    That impossible breath = you're dreaming.

    Try it today.

  2. Most of my life when I heard of #hypnosis, #meditation, #LucidDreaming and basically any altered mind state, it was always in context of some occult/witchcraft practices. It shaped my expectations about these phenomena and for many years I thought I should develop some supernatural powers or else it would be shameful failure.
    (Of course it destroyed my already poor self-esteem :/)

    Some time after I recovered from this "I have to gain psychic powers" mindset I noticed one thing. In that magic context meditation training is often described as something forced, fighting agains own mind, hard effort. In contrast, when meditation (and any relaxation/mental exercises) is mentioned in more health of wellnes-related topics it's something calm, peaceful, pleasant. More like letting things go, not make them by force.

    And it's really big difference. When my perception of it shifted, I started noticing any progress in meditation and "keeping my mind quiet and calm".

  3. More seriously I realized at least for 10-11 years I just don't have to do anything specific to reach this "I don't feel my limbs" state. When I lie down and don't move it just happens automatically. It's even easier than in the past when I purposely tried to learn relax techniques for #meditation and #LucidDreaming because now, without setting a goal, there is no pressure to "succeed". Sometimes I try to use that already present state to meditation training. Or try to remember this state to somehow use it later for stress/anxiety relief (still not sure how).

    It's kind of funny, when I need to do something and have to remind myself how to e.g. use my hand. Similar mental focus like in breaking sleep paralysis, even if not so much effort needed. Muscles are not really turned down, just my brain? mind? thinks they are unusable. Like hypnosis therapy depicted in movies... " Now your legs are very heavy" :blobCat_giggle:

    And yes, I am weird freak who really loves #SleepParalysis.

  4. Are you interested in lucid dreaming and remote viewing? Try setting intentions before sleep, keeping a dream journal, and performing regular reality checks during the day. Use relaxation techniques like meditation & progressive muscle relaxation to help induce a state of relaxation.

  5. @oldcoder It was definitely #LucidDreaming. I enjoyed #Airwolf as a geek child of the 1980s. The #Airwolf theme song is a pretty kickass theme song.

    My biggest issue was when the dream ended, it woke me up in the middle of my sleeping time and having issues falling back asleep.

  9. I keep on #LucidDreaming something that could be an #airwolf episode. Now i've got the theme song stuck in my head.

  13. #Dream I was a character in a future novel, witnessing, and analyzing my actions. Semi- #lucidDreaming The character had a dream and entered another realm of existance as a big fluffy titmouse. It squeezed through a partially open window to escape an unnamed terror. Since I was witnessing I only felt interest in what I was seeing and marveled at have fluff and realistic the scene was. #dreamjournal #luciddream

    Some of this will be in my next novel. It fits very well with the narrative flow of that work. #writingcommunity #Takiyasha

  18. I have had some experience with #luciddreaming
    My favorite dream started with me being in an awkward, uncomfortable party situation. I was not having fun, so I decided that, since I was dreaming, I wanted to hug my paternal grandmother who passed away several years ago from covid.
    I decided I wanted to see her, so there she was. I hugged her and it felt so good. Lucid dreaming can be a way to turn bad dreams around.

  19. Last night I got restless #sleep and started drifting in and out of #paralysis; #dreaming I was in my bed next to my partner but when I tried to get their attention to wake me up I was just talking to my #dream.

    But then I started #lucidDreaming and my partner was there I might as well have fun; so I started messing around and doing all the kinky shit I like to do and they were totally down with it!

    So yeah, had my first #sleepParalysis #lucid wet-dream!

  20. My #dreams are getting longer and more connected. There's been quite a bit of #underworld imagery. I would like to approach this more systematically, but I'm not sure what to do. Anyone proficient in #dreamwork out there?
