Luciding – Induce Lucid Dreaming Through Transcranial Stimulation

As a side note, it was much harder to learn to stop doing it, than to start.
Interestingly, however, I do get another thing, which I haven't seen described anywhere, which I'll dub false memory syndrome: while in the hypnogogic state on the edge of sleep, sometimes my memory will change. I'll still be me, unlike with ordinary dreaming, but with a whole new backstory. Unfortunately I don't remember the new backstory afterwards, so all I retain are second-order memories; memories of thinking about the backstory.
e.g. once I was suddenly convinced I'd committed some sort of crime or other, and was wondering whether to try and run or resign myself to going to prison. No idea what the crime was now (I'd quite like to know what my subconscious was worried about).
This has happened to me so often I will occasionally think, hmm, this is odd, I wonder if it's false memory syndrome again? Which is a classic lucid memory trigger. Except I'm not really asleep, and I will always decide that it's not.
After waking up from the one described above, I was really relieved to find out that it really was false memory syndrome.
...hang on, the police are at the door.
Trippy part is that dream "experts" seem surprised by much of this. They should study lucid dreaming more, esp under brain scans. Might learn stuff.
Easiest method takes persistence rather than tech. Try to remember dreams, write details in journal each morning, and use reality checks all thfough the day until they're habit. Look those up on net as there's good examples. My favorites are how, in dreams, (a) mirrors oftdn have no reflection and (b) text you write changes if you look away then back again. Also regular naps in day with high REM.
A few weeks in you will look into a mirror and see nothing. Lucid. ;) Just don't do it if you have mental disorders or high stress. After all, it amplifies what's in your mind and you want to be in control.
Seems like if you are constantly working at, reading of, and hearing about lucid dreaming, the idea would make it into your dreams, lucid or not.
Easiest way to know difference is keep asking if you're dreaming. Right now, something is in your mind that knows you're awake that you don't feel in dreams and not for long in lucid ones. Plus, lucid dreams break rules of reality in obvious or subtle ways you'll spot. Persistent awareness of this means you'll eventually notice a discrepency from habitual checks and wake up instantly (in dream or in reality).
Was it always easy or did you have to practice a lot?
No practice, just came naturally to me. Learned this while on shrooms and focusing on the visuals, then tried it off them.
I'd love to chat more about this. Can I add you on skype or something?
One thing others haven't brought up is how LD and astral projection experiments showed conscious mind is weak/short-lasting and subconscious mind is strong/long-lasting. So try to leverage latter. Repetition and sensory input (visualization) are nest ways to prime the subconscious. You just get it into back of your mind enough that it (a) adds to starting it and (b) keeps it going once conscious mind drifts off.
I'll give you an interesting example of utilizing subconscious. Monroe wanted to have Out of Body Experience but couldn't consciously separate: stayed fully awake or asleep. So, he dehydrated himself for days while repeatedly getting up from bed to fill a glass from sink then pour it out. Thirst was hard to ignore but he did. Also did heart slowdowns and physical relaxation to make his body sleep each night. One night he went to kitchen to get water but his hand went right through the faucet. Went back to find himself in bed, resulting in instant awakening.
Hallucination or spirit, the reason he went OBE and lucid was the repetitive influence of his subconscious to go for thd sink when thirsty with the cheat of being thirsty constantly. His mind turned off, subconscious did as programmed, and woke him up in mid-dream. Cool, eh? All kinds of programming that's less extreme.

Quick, you have another 50 minutes to fulfil the promise before Marty and Doc arrive in their shiny band new DeLorean!
Seriously people, when can we drop this obsession with landing pages that hijack the scroll bar and turn a document into some sort of slide show? I just want to scroll down and read your content, but instead I'm forced to try touching my trackpad in various spurts trying to get it to stop when needed.
Its good for marketing a product as long as its kept to like under 5 items.
For showing data/information, it is a terrible way to do it. I dont want to read a powerpoint presentation.
I think this might have looked good on whatever device it was designed for (I'm guessing PC+mouse), but as soon as you try to interact with it using a trackpad or mobile the experience turns to shit.
The scroll wheel is interestingly broken, though. It looks like a single movement triggers a transition to the next slide, and then all input is ignored for a couple of seconds. The same applies to the keyboard, so pressing the down arrow key a couple of times will move once.
I know the people behind the site are here, reading these comments, so I don't want to sound rude, but... I'm really interested in lucid dreaming, not being able to do it myself, so I am precisely the target market for this device, and even I am finding myself turned off by this website. It's actively hampering marketing the product.

That reads like you intended it as a slur. If so, not cool.
