[quote=sekasi;2346833]I experimented a lot with Lucid Dreaming and Astral body wandering and such when I was younger.
There’s a pretty good way to start; Keep a dream diary. Basically when you wake up you try hard to remember even the slightest details of your dreams and jot them down. In the start it’ll be hard, but as the days go by your mind will pick up more and more details.
Once you are able to remember your dreams to a fair degree there’s a practice that worked for me as well as a lot of my friends at the time. I don’t know the phrase in English since I’m a Swede, but if you translate it directly I guess it becomes ‘association of text’. It’s somewhat hard to explain but basically every time you see a different font, typeface or such. (magazines, books, posters, ads, tv, net) you focus on it and try to imagine how it would look if it said ‘I am dreaming’ in the same font. Try to like morph it in your mind.
I did that for a bit more than one and a half week when it kicked in. Basically you become so trained in morphing the text in your mind so as soon as you come across text in your dreams it will form into ‘I am dreaming’ and that’s when you realize that you’re sleeping. And become ‘aware’
After that there’s a plethora of practices to do to train yourself to basically ‘command’ your dreams. It’s pretty cool and fairly freaky too.
Dream diary however, start there ;)[/quote]
Very interesting. Thanks for posting this. I’ve been keeping a dream diary on and off, but I never knew about the font thing. Do you have any links/books or any other info on this?
