Comment on Does Consciousness Disappear in Dreamless Sleep?
popemichael@lemmy.sdf.org 1 year ago
I mean, I lucid dream every night. So my consciousness is rarely off.
I’ve been practicing for almost 20 years to be able to switch it on and off so its kinda nice that I get to be a god 6 to 8 hours a day

Do you find it an enjoyable or useful experience?

I love it. Things can go from psychedelic to me flying in the air, changing the landscape like I’m some sort of God.
I can even make food and banquets appear, and I can eat whatever I want at full flavor
I can even make any sexual fantasy I want come true instantly. I don’t do this often, though. As I think it would destroy me in the waking world.
For the most part, it was worth the years of work it took to learn the meditation needed for all of this.

Amazing. Thanks for the insight. Got any links people would find useful if they wanted to follow in your footsteps?

I can’t reccomend books outside of the basics of meditation. Most of it requires some work to be put in with body mindfulness.
Next time you are about to fall asleep, try to program your brain to find out something that’s meaningful to you. Just keep telling yourself that you are going to find that thing. And when you do, you will KNOW it’s a dream. Keep telling yourself to test reality in your dreams.
Its ALL about breaking the waking and the non waking barriers
It will take time to master those powers and the night that you do you will wake up like you just took LSD. Even still, keep that dream object and reality testing in mind. The more you do the more you will find yourself testing if it’s a dream in the dream. That will set it off.
You can even test if you are in a dream IRL a few time a day to speed things up. It sounds silly to do, but it will train your mind to test reality in dreams.

Can you link me to lucid dream training that was created by someone that holds a doctorate of medicine?
I’ll wait. Thanks.

Are you one of those people who needs an authority figure to tell you what you are experiencing?
popemichael@lemmy.sdf.org 1 year ago
I have a doctorate in philosophy, if that counts.
I’m sorry that you’re so closed-minded to things like this.
