The last five minutes before you fall asleep have the strongest influence on the content of your dreams. You can increase the clarity of your dreams by visualizing a red light in your fifth chakra. Not too bright, or it will keep you awake. Don't think about it, just mentally look at it and let it rest there. It also helps to create a positive emotion before you go to sleep. Confidence, faith, compassion, love, equanimity, and so on. If there is something specific you want to dream about, now is a good time to let your thoughts drift around that subject. As long as you do these things passively they should not keep your mind too active to drift off to sleep. You do not need to do anything intently to start getting results in a few days.
Does anyone have any suggestions on howto percieve or visualize?. I understand the concept and that its not actually seeing what you are visualizing, and more imagining it. the only problem i have is my mind constantly trying to bother me. Instead of thinking white i think black. Instead of perceiving one thing i percieve another. Esspecially with the Hemi-sync guided meditations there is no way to confirm wheather your visualizations are effective or not. It esspecially bothers me when my visualizations are of black and arent constant. Ive always been like this. One thing ive always been able to do is lucid dream. 90% of ym dreams since i was a little kid were always lucid, i always know i am dreaming. The only problem is once i know i am dreaming, i think about bad things that can happen, nomatter how much i try to keep my mind off of it, i think the opposite of what i am trying to think. When i was a child i use to be afraid to goto sleep because i knew i would have a nightmare as soon as i realized i was dreaming, i am incapable of having direct pure thoughts, and not mumbojumbo confusion and irritation. I always have lucid dreams but never can control them, as soon as they become lucid they actually become out of control, as opposed to my non lucid dreams in which i dont know i am dreaming and therefor no negative thoughts start to manifest because i think evetything is real. It is extremely frustrating and i am starting to get discouraged. Does anyone have any suggestions?, or have the same problem?
