Ok basicly when you lay in bed tired close your eyes and pretend to day dream. Or focus on something. I focus on a light-switch. Then keep on the light-switch with your eyes closed.
Then you will fall asleep. But keep focused on the light-switch in your mind. And be sure the switch is turned off and its in a fimilar room. Then when you think your asleep turn it on.
If it doesn’t work then your dreaming. Now run around little piggy run around and lucid dream everynight!
Will this work if I don’t fall asleep easily (thanks Duck, by the way, and I like your sig…)? I only fall asleep quickly if I go to bed at like one in the morning! Maybe I should try this with WBTB…
I personally, for some reason or other, find it very dificult to visualize myself from an upper angle. For some reason it’s really unorthodox for me to picture that in my eyelids, it’s weird.
Maybe my imagination isn’t as strong as yyours or something…who knows…
How is an insomniac supposed to do a meathod like this? Or WILD for that matter… Even if I were to try WBTB, it still wouldn’t work, b/c I have problems getting back to sleep.
This is a good idea. I think any kind of focussing on an object will help us notice the differences between real and dream objects. In RL we don’t look at detail enough.
I find that very difficult too. You don’t have to visualise yourself for this method though. Just visualise things in front of your eyes, how you would see them in RL.
I too had to deal with this, the best tip I can give to you is that the 6 hours of sleep written in every guide should work for regular people, people like us (insomniac) should cut this to 3-4 hours and then immidiatly do the methods.
