the Seventh session of the workshop.
Today we will talk about how you can optionally use the dream diary to increase the number of cases of awareness during sleep – its analysis and drawing up a list of individual characteristics of sleep. In addition, this method will help over time to renounce the use of Grimstalker and start independent practice(no, I didn't think I'd have a lifetime to sleep in the mask with the fee to realize a dream, taking breaks during the week to not get used to the prompts – Dreamstalker is only a crutch that will help You learn to walk into the world of OS itself, so it will not make a miracle, won't make You one of its presence to become a great a dreamer, but will make the journey much easier and shorter).
When dreams in the diary had accumulated a few dozen, you will notice that not only place the action can be repeated every dream in sleep, there are other things that occur in dreams more frequently than others. So why not use these repetitions are for the benefit of the practice.
You just need to select them and when you meet them in reality(I'm sure many of them are awake) to check if we are sleeping. The same characteristics that in reality do not occur, you just need to memorize, because if they do not occur in reality, but still, it so happened that we met, then it is likely that we are asleep. Stephen Laberge called such things as "individual characteristics of sleep"(IPS) is what is found the particular dreamer in the dreaming world often.
In the language of psychology, we develop and fasten the anchor - conditional reflexes, like the dogs of Pavlov. It is when the light is allocated gastric juice (after the cycle superimposition of turning on the light and feeding), and we have the appearance of a field of view of the individual characteristic of a dream should appear unhealthy desire to test the reality of the discrepancy between reality (as a result of training and rehearsals).
In our last class we have already dealt with that individual symptom of sleep may be
the TERRAIN – the scenery of a dream, that is the place where we once lived/studied/worked, where no more fall in my life, but regularly returned in dreams. It can be:
- grandma's house(which was in another city and has long been sold, but most of us spent the summer holidays in my childhood),
- school, Institute,
- the city in which we once rested for a few days,
- unknown landscape, which is haunting haunts us in dreams, but can hardly meet in reality(dense forest, marshes with birch trees, a mountain plateau with steep edges, the open sea, dark caves, ruins of buildings...).
With these symptoms easier, making more or less detailed map of the dreaming of our land, we'll tie their definition to the world of sleep and be aware they will be much easier(not to mention the bonuses that were discussed in the last issue).
Besides these, individual signs of the dream, each dreamer will find
CHARACTERS – people or other living(or not living) beings who, for whatever reasons we dream occasionally, but with surprising regularity:
- friends who are former classmates, fellow students, colleagues or co-workers(as well as random passengers, team members, participants, neighbors in the Dorm or hotel room, which has warm relations were emotional or channels) with which contact has been lost. They often dream about after talking with them (or about them) in social networks, which can also be used when programming before bedtime.
- the recent dead or gone/missing relatives(or Pets among Pets) – their images may well be used in practice, for example, met in a lucid dream, just ask next time you meet in this world, they reminded us that we are asleep is just element of the programming of the subconscious – a simple, perhaps somewhat naive, but extremely effective.
- Even at first glance, unfamiliar people, and possibly animals.
In third place are
ITEMS – a couple of lifeless beacons in the world of dreams – they must be careful, if an object is stuck in our dreams, it is likely that it involves some kind of traumatic episode, a kind of emotional binding, taking away our energy on a subconscious pereproshivka painful episode (outwardly it may not appear). They tell us which direction we need to work on yourself in terms of processing the past and can meet rather often, sometimes even every day and night, but after removing the emotional charge of the episode is likely to disappear or appear much less often and does that "habit". For different people these items can be different things – for some it destroyed a concrete flight of stairs at the entrance or a moribund balcony, someone afraid of high bridges, for someone this big wooden boxes or rail container, for someone well or an old wardrobe... whatever it may recur in dreams, it is important to highlight with the help of a dream diary and remember that this is what we often see in dreams.
Finally, it can be not unusual for real-world scenes or emotions such as fear (often panic when denied his feet, as if to darken the world around), the feeling of flying without technical devices, talking dogs, flying lights...
What we need to do is to make a list of all your symptoms and learning it by heart. Actually, sometimes this one event is enough to start sometimes to realize the dreams (not very often but quite regularly), but for practitioners who want a high and stable results, it is necessary that each meeting with an individual symptom of sleep lead either to the realization (if the meeting happened in the dream) or to regular training to maintain skills(if IPS was found in reality). Of course, IPS must be chosen so that they met in reality, not too often – 3-4 times a day, otherwise we will have created the precedent to ignore the signs, not reality check after each event(for example, when we are very busy) – and then in the dream(where we usually are busy more than usual), we will likely skip the check and do not understand that we are dreaming.
However, for very persistent and hardworking, for the first time, you can choose common symptom(passing through any door, any conversation, even on the phone, any traffic on the road is even harder than hunting for flash and work with reminders).
