A way to increase lucid dreams, from Paul Brunton the philosopher

I remember the day I had my first lucid dream... I was actually shocked recently when I remembered about the incident back in around year 2003. Because of the ease with which I have achieved lucidity back then.

Even though I haven't read much about lucid dreams or even had no access to the Internet, the lucid dreaming experience came within 3 days, after I read (an practiced!) an interesting technique in a book that was not related to lucid dreaming.

It was non other than the book named "Wisdom Of The Overself" by Paul Brunton, a European philosopher. Who talked about meditation, religion etc.

His technique was simple. When one gets onto bed at night, he asks to close the eyes as we would normally do and to relax the whole body (usual stuff). We should try to calm our minds and think of the day's incidents in sequential order...

The only thing I don't remember is whether he asked to go through the events in reverse order or to start from morning and come upto the moment we got onto bed.

I will update if I get to know that bit soon, if I get my hands on that book again (I couldn't find the book where I live... I used to read the book in a public library back then)

Anyway, in summary, when I had little experience in reading about stuff like lucid dreaming and astral projection, his technique yeilded results within 3 days. That was the amazing fact I remember. But please remember that he is not a lucid dreaming or astral projection guru.

Happy dreaming...

Another chain of nonsense :-)

Had a night of uncontrollable dreams... the kind that has no link between each other, and no sense at all...

I was in my home town, in the previous house our family owned. It was so long since I saw this house in a dream. My car has been parked but somebody in the neighborhood has taken it for a ride and I was annoyed about it. It lasted only a while and suddenly I was walking along the roads of my home town... in the city wearing an Indian sarong and covering my head and bust with a bead sheet! It felt very cold. This is because I was really cuddled in bed under a bed sheet in a cold night... I think that is the reason for this bed sheet covered walk in the dream :-)

When this scene changed, I was in my car... driving happily in the roads of my home town... there was no much traffic as usual and I was enjoying the ride thinking, "its always a bliss to drive in the roads of my hometown". I really felt happy about the lack of traffic. Because I live in a place where traffic jams are a common thing.

Then I was walking near a playground where there were so many people standing in bunches talking to each other. I see in the middle of the playground a bunch of guys who looked like thugs harrasing someone... in an intant I started to behave like a policeman and went and started insulting them (the thugs). The guys were scared seeing me and I was playing the 'macho man' role for a while, rescuing the innocent civilian who was harrassed by them.

Again the scene changes and I am entering a silent house... creeping into a room, there was someone hiding behind the door... someone who was very nervous, holding a knife! I was with a weird kind of knife too and in the other hand i was holding a gun. I calm the nervous man and become friends with him and have tea with him! ;-)

There appears a girl I know well, she talks to me about something serious, and leaves. When I come out of the house, I am standing infront of our previous family house again. Somebody was driving my car there in front of the house, trying to park in in a corner. That person had a swollen skull!

Then I am inside our previous house and somebody knock the door. I see through the hole and see that its the 2 kids I knew from across town. The younger one, a girl is now grown a bit and looked cute. They come inside and thats all I remember about them...

I am standing again in town and see someone selling lottery... I go there and try to buy a lottery ticket and find that the document looks weired.. something like a passport. I find it hard to understand but I buy one and leave there...

The above dreams were coming in a sequence... God only knows why dreams make no sense sometimes ;-)

Hope I would become lucid soon...
