THE OMNI EXPERIENCE

POWER TRIPS: CONTROLLING YOUR DREAMS

Release Date: Thursday, 19 March 1987

A number of techniques facilitate lucid dreaming. One of the simplest

is asking yourself many times during the day whether you are dreaming.

Each time you ask the question, you should look for evidence proving

you are not dreaming. The most reliable test: Read something, look

away for a moment, and then read it again. If it reads the same way

twice, it is unlikely that you are dreaming. After you have proved to

yourself that you are not presently dreaming, visualize yourself doing

what it is you'd like. Also, tell yourself that you want to recognize

a nighttime dream the next time it occurs. The mechanism at work here

is simple; it's much the same as picking up milk at the grocery store

after reminding yourself to do so an hour before.

At night people usually realize they are dreaming when they experience

unusual or bizarre occurrences. For instance, if you find yourself

flying without visible means of support, you should realize that this

happens only in dreams and that you must therefore be dreaming.

If you awaken from a dream in the middle of the night, it is very

helpful to return to the dream immediately, in your imagination. Now

envision yourself recognizing the dream as such. Tell yoursel, "The

next time I am dreaming, I want to remember to recognize that I am

dreaming." If your intention is strong and clear enough, you may find

yourself in a lucid dream when you return to sleep.

Even if you're a frequent lucid dreamer, you may not be able to stop

yourself from waking up in mid-dream. And even if your dreams do

reach a satisfying end, you may not be able to focus them exactly as

you please.

During our years of research, however, we have found that spinning

your dream body can sustain the period of sleep and give you greater

dream control. In fact, many subjects at Stanford University have

used the spinning technique as an effective means of staying in a

lucid dream. The task outlined below will help you use spinning as a

means of staying asleep and, more exciting, as a means of traveling to

whatever dream world you desire.

Before retiring, decide on a person, time, and place you would like to

visit in your lucid dream. The target person and place can be either

real or imaginary, past, present, or future. Write down and memorize

your target person and place, then visualize yourself visiting your

target and firmly resolve to do so in a dream that night.

To gain lucidity, repeat the phrase describing your target in your

dream, and spin your whole dream body in a standing position with your

arms outstretched. You can pirouette or spin like a top, as long as

you vividly feel your body in motion.

The same spinning technique will help when, in the middle of a lucid

dream, you feel the dream imagery beginning to fade. To avoid waking

up, spin as you repeat your target phrase again and again. With

practice, you'll return to your target person, time, and place.

When spinning, try to notice whether you're moving in a clockwise or

counter-clockwise direction.
