Robert, the reason why this woman was able to dream lucid was not the “objective” consciousness - asking herself the same question - it is the SUBcosnciousness - making her ask this question … this is why it wont work if we try to “consciously” use this technique?!
here s my big TOE (theory of everything):
humans in the ordinary every day consciousness seem to not understand - that they are the tale, not the dog;
they dont understand that its not “them” being incarnated to learn and use the “subconsciousness” - it is the higher - unconscious - aspects of ourself - who is dreaming “us” - to learn; it just hurts our ego to realise - that “we” (little objective me … ) are a software, the tale, the ant - not the master …
yes we are some kind of sim character in a virtual data world - like tom campbell write is his book - but the final hint to understand is - that the physical objective personality is like a little 10cm puppy - dog on a rope:
when we try to dream lucid, we try to make our owner move another way - trying some techniques to get lucid within the dream; and yes - for a moment the supplement, the dreaminduction / OBE technique works … we jump with all our power in one direction and the owner slips . and makes one step back … until he comes back with a stronger line, a rubber line or puts us in a cage or dog school …
we are the ants, not the anthill …
kundalini experience just means that “you” become united with your real “self” - which is split into uncountable little “selfes” - it is slowly learning through us, not “us” - learning;
the chances to be lucid in a dream increase massively - if we work together with the higher aspects of ourself - then our “owner” might give us a bone every now and then …
