As I was falling asleep I tried a lazy version of one of the lucid dreaming techniques called MILD (mnemonic induction of lucid dreams) that I mentioned in my blog post called Want To Control Your Dreams? Here’s How You Can, I went to sleep and I had at least one dream before waking up again, and then I tried the technique again and I went back to sleep.
After going back to sleep I was dreaming again and at some point I realized that I was dreaming but I can not remember how or anything like that because I did not voice record any of my dreams or this lucid dream which eventually became a normal dream again once I forgot that I was dreaming, I had a variety of short dreams, but now I can not remember most of them or much of the ones that I barely remember part of because of that.
It is good to hear that some scientists are still looking into things like this, and that they are trying to get some of the public involved in this research.
Dr. Denholm Aspy is currently seeking people for another lucid dreaming experiment:
Last night I tried a lazy version of a method that was mentioned in that EurekAlert! news article:
MILD (mnemonic induction of lucid dreams) – which involves waking up after five hours of sleep and then developing the intention to remember that you are dreaming before returning to sleep, by repeating the phrase: “The next time I’m dreaming, I will remember that I’m dreaming.” You also imagine yourself in a lucid dream.
As I was falling asleep several times in my mind I repeated the phrase:
“The next time I’m dreaming, I will remember that I’m dreaming.” but I accidentaly forgot about imagining myself in a lucid dream as I thought this, and then I went to sleep.
I had a dream and I woke up and in my mind I repeated that phrase again as I went back to sleep, I had another dream and I realized that I was dreaming somehow and I started to slightly control the dream but eventually I forgot that I was lucid dreaming and the dream returned to normal, but I did not voice record this or any of my dreams that I had so I only remember a few fragments of them that I will type later.
Anyway, even my lazy version of that method happened to work on the first try, which is great so I finally had a lucid dream again but unfortunately I can not remember most of it or most of the various dreams that I had.
