New To 10th Planet

Welcome to the 10th planet family!

Welcome to the journey Ashley!

Check out this thread on lucid dreaming we had going for awhile, lots of info there :)

Welcome to our nightmare...err, the wonderful world of submission grappling.

It's weird, there seems to be a peak interest in lucid dreaming on all the message boards I frequent. This during a time when I've been having a lot of them lately.

Welcome

I tried last night and no luck. But today I will spend some time doing research and, I hope, that will help! Thanks for all the "welcome's" guys - much appreciated.

Ashley...while the internet has some great information,
and can be currently updated, there are some great books
on the topic. A book called Adventures Beyond the Body
by William Buhlman is a really good starting place. It is about
out of body travel, along with methods to produce lucid dreams.

I, at one time, was working daily on having those experiences.
I find that naps, or just sleeping during peak mind activity gives
you a better shot at becoming lucid if you are having trouble
getting there. There are techniques that guide you through
what is called the hypnagogic state and allow you to never lose
your lucidity while entering a dream. I must say that I have had
years and years of extreme psychedelic drug experiences, and yet
the hypnagogic experiences are still some of the more powerful,
and intense mindscapes I've ever witnessed.

Thanks a bunch! In the last few days I have been watching a lot of videos about stream of consciousness, positive thinking, the power of thought and the concept of multi-verses. I am kind of over whelmed and I wish I could just hit a button and make it all make sense. But the more I think about it the more I think Lucid Dreams are a link to all of it. I don't know how to meditate - the concept itself kind of freaks me out because when it's quite my mind races and I cant focus on anything, let alone nothing... if that makes any sense WHAT so ever. I guess my point is that I think dreaming is where I can find the answers to the questions I cant ever seem to articulate.
Rambley Yours,
Ashley

In the words of the great Terence McKenna:
"The bigger you build the fire, the more darkness you reveal."

In other words, you may grasp onto some ideas, but the more
you learn, the more there is to learn. Just don't fool yourself
into thinking that there is one ultimate solution to all the equations,
or one answer that will satisfy all of your infinitely expanding questions.
