"vibrations NOW!" mantra to AP?

[Tongo]

Many speak of using a phrase throughout their day such as "increase clarity NOW" or something along these lines so when they are in a dream they find themselves saying it and wind up in a very lucid dream. I have had some success myself with this and was able to enter much more lucid dreams than normal but I know they were not an AP.

I got thinking ....do you think maybe if you did the same thing and instead of the "LUCIDITY NOW" or whatever similar thoughts and chants throughout the day for when you go to bed, do you think something like "VIBRATIONS NOW" might actually get you into the vibrational state during sleep and allow you the chance to project outright and this way you get to bypass a simple dream or lucid dream?

Anyone tried this? I am thinking maybe its not a bad idea in theroy.

That is pulling your mind out of the experience. Focus has to be to the point where you can pass through the sleep and maintain lucidity. It takes a fair bit of work to do it if you are not naturally inclined. Doing mantras are good practice for training focus but focus has to be done with a very quiet conscious mind. Your deeper mind does not function at a conscious level if your superficial mind is chattering away.

You have to pass the lucidity to the lower mind which means that the part of your mind that is normally in control is allowed to recede to the background. In chanting your mind may still try to grab the concept and idea and that prevents the change of focus.

I would practice mantra during the day to increase your focusing ability.
