OMG idk who recommended this first, I can't find the original post so tag them in the comments please.

the point is that IT FUCKING WORKS (for me this time at least yk yk)

last night i slept with this on next to me until my phone died, no headphones. before falling asleep I lied on my back and felt like I was floating for a moment.

then I fell asleep and had a normal dream in which I was with a friend in school, then we walked into some sewerage and he disappeared.

I got so scared because the place was so sketchy and backroom-like so I started looking for him in desperation. I kinda knew it was a dream because its not unusual for me to have backroom dreams, so it turned into a lucid dream once I realized I could turn this place into somewhere I liked.

The place became some sort of hotel reception or idk what to call it but it was nice and it had an outdoor patio. I walked around and grounded myself by rubbing my hands together and touching stuff around me, and it became really vivid but I woke up anyway. I think the audio was still playing so I fell asleep again and went back to the lucid dream. There was a man looking for me and I made him dissappear into a corner cuz I didnt know what he wanted and it made me uneasy. I had a hard time trying to make my friends appear tho. I had the intention to shift in the dream but it felt out of reach at the moment, like the dream was too unstable and I didn't know how to make it into a shifting opportunity.

but hey, I did remember my intention, something I struggled with every time I had a lucid dream before.

This happened a month ago or so. I was lying on my bed right after I woke up from a nap, my body was still asleep and numb. I tried to think about my DR and images started appearing, unintentional thoughts that didn't make much sense at first, but then I perceived myself lying on a hammock outside with my eyes closed (not the visuals, the spatial awareness). I'm not sure if I affirmed or what but I kid you not... I literally felt a strong wind on my body and the swing of the hammock. I'm guessing the wind woke me up from a nap or something, cuz I felt kinda disoriented. I got so excited and scared of the hammock flipping me over that I snapped out of it and opened my eyes in my CR, but I swear I was there for a moment, I really was.

When you're going to take a nap you're not that tired so you're less likely to give up and fall asleep like usual. It can be in the afternoon or in the morning if you woke up early.

You have two options here:

⚜️ If you're more tired, perform a few rounds of SILD (lie down on your back with your eyes closed and switch your focus between your sight, hearing and body sensations, 15 sec each) and fall asleep. It doesn't have to be perfect, you might get distracted and lose your count, just keep going. Some people say its better to do 3 rounds of 15s and then another 3 rounds of 30s (or 30s first then 15s, I'm not sure), but in my experience it's not that important, just do your best. When you fall asleep there's a big chance that you'll become lucid. Now you can do your method.

⚜️ If you're not tired to the point of wanting to fully sleep no matter what, then lie down in your usual position and pretend to be asleep, but visualize yourself sleeping in your DR. This is the key, focus on tricking your proprioception to be aware of your DR surroundings.

If there's any noise or you perceive light coming from somewhere specific, adapt it to your DR surroundings. It's good to have options in your DR– more than one surface to lie down– so you can chose the one that feels more natural.

Keep thinking like your DR self and eventually the images will start appearing by themselves, you might find yourself in a scenario that you hadn't thought about, and you'll forget that you're napping in your CR (you may think, "this is different, did I shift?", if you usually question that), its gonna turn into a lucid dream eventually but you might never fully fall asleep and always keep a tiny bit of awareness of your CR asleep body (in my experience, at least). You can still pretend that it's your DR body though, and you might wake up there.

⚜️ Or you may accidentally have a lucid nap on a random tuesday if you've been listening to subliminals. I actually asked my subconscious mind a question on one of those occasions and it said some nonsense but idk it's worth a try.

And remember, you will shift. Be ready.
