Hooray I got the phase via LD... oops, never mind- I lost it. Officially I am on a break from all phase methods (not even doing affirmation, intention, or deferral), but somewhere around midnight I was dreaming. Without any prompting or trigger or anything I can place my finger on, I was standing i...

Thanks Summerlander!  I did read all of SOBT except for the part directed at the highest level practitioner. Now I only go back to the part for beginners. I'm sure I will read it again at some point. Before I do that I need to get through La Berge's book... You say that it should be fine to do Indir...

Categorise dreamsigns.  Follow the dream inventory and do the exercise pre-MILD from LaBerge's book.  Remember not to be obsessive about it and with any method that you use, you must have confidence.  This is also true for SOBT.  If you decide that entering the phase via dream consciousness is not ...

Only one phase entry this whole weekend. SSILD still seems to reward my efforts- at least to enter the phase, but the depth and extremes of the encounters have been disappointing. Had one morning where after I did SSILD, it seemed like there was this "severely caffeinated vibration" as I ...

Unfortunately there is no content from this phase experience that I can't write about here. My phase life as a deepening goat!  ::) At least for now, it seems that sleeping on my stomach is having a positive effect on both OBE and LD experiences. This morning was an LD experience that took place wh...

I have seen references in this forum such as "hyper-real", "hyper-vision", etc. There is an organization which also uses the term "Hyper" a lot. I have also seen different posts that would hint at philosophies and activities of this organization (not as much anymore- bu...

Looks like SSILD is working quite well for you. I was shocked by the duration of your deferred/WBTB! An hour and half! I would never get back to sleep if I stayed up that long. Onerous, given my own preferences I would not have waited so long to get back to bed, but my wife got up earlier than I di...

I separated late this morning and proceeded with my phase POA, but was very disappointed to find only Sue, the hostess, was present in the encounter room. Results were nothing like I had hoped. >>>>>  Details at th3truthizinthere.blogspot.com EXPERIENCE DATE: May 2nd/3rd 2012 Time between watching ...

I clearly had multiple opportunities to recognize I was in the phase and to switch gears to pursuing my POA - but I never did... >>>>>  Details at th3truthizinthere.blogspot.com EXPERIENCE DATE: May 1st/2nd 2012 Time between watching TV and bed time: @ 1.5 hours Time between video games and bed tim...

I am really struggling with using cycles of indirect techniques. I always defer my wake up time to early in the morning before I ever try to attempt them. Here is where things get confusing. In the course of falling asleep, I will suddenly find myself with the sensation that I was not aware of what ...

Took a nap yesterday afternoon really hoping to experience the phase while there was daylight. It didn't pan out. Deferred sleep to this morning, and despite not setting an actual alarm, my body woke me up at exactly 3 am- I was just too tired to get up at that point. The end result is that there w...

Cool Onerous! Thanks for sharing. I think I might give that a try tonight. Chalk it up to "Super Affirmation and Intention". 

My wife was up this morning when my 3 am alarm went off and she caught me. She was asking me why I was setting this for 3 am. I finally came up with I was experimenting and learning what my sleep cycles are. Wouldn't you know- no phase again this morning.  :-\ EXPERIENCE DATE: April 29th/30th 2012 ...

I was outdoors in direct sunlight until about 1 pm Saturday. I wouldn't say that I really exerted myself a lot, but nonetheless I just felt exhausted when I got home. Perhaps that is why the phase eluded me again. EXPERIENCE DATE: April 28th/29th 2012 Time between watching TV and bed time: @ 30 min...

Friday provided a surprisingly deep, relaxing sleep despite my desire to experience the phase while sleeping outdoors. That objective was never attained. EXPERIENCE DATE: April 27th/28th 2012 Time between watching TV and bed time: Over 24 hours Time between video games and bed time: @ Over 24 hours...

I'm on the fence about the "purity" of the very brief and teasing experience I had this morning. It consisted merely of becoming aware at a point of having a sensation that I was rocking inside my own body. Not wasting the chance, I sat up and rolled out to the floor. As I just started to...

I Just got to bed too late and/or I didn't adjust my timed alarms right. I slept like a baby until 3 am, and after going back to bed I don't even remember dreaming anything. I felt ok this morning though. (Aside from phase-sex deprivation).   :P EXPERIENCE DATE: April 25th/26th 2012 Time between wa...

No phase achieved this time. Going to bed later I believe threw off my sleep cycle, so when woke up at 3 am, I just couldn't get back to sleep enough to induce it.

I'm interested in putting this to use Tony. I have the "Binality" and "Binaural Beats Therapy" apps for my Android- are you familiar with these?

What process do you recommend for having success using binaural beats to enter the phase?

Despite time constraints, I would say I had a very successful phase weekend. The difficulty in conveying comes from how there was so much "phasemic" activity, that it is difficult to differentiate between different types and where one ended and another began. The Friday/Saturday sleep per...

Nota Bene: There are details of my sexual phase experiences that I cannot  post in THIS blog out of respect for forum rules. Beginning from April 20th, 2012, I will be fleshing out the details at >>>> th3truthizinthere.blogspot.com Got to bed late, slept past 3 am and was just groggy as hell when I...

I asked him if he thinks he is awake  or asleep when the Ghosts and Crocs come and he replied with a definite "Awake." I told him that when they come to tell them that they aren't real and that they can't hurt you. It's quite ironic really.....here I am telling him this and I can't even d...

My dream state this morning afforded a Lucid Dream experience, but compromised a more sensual sexual encounter. April 18th/19th- Well, as I suspected, my vibrating phone alarm seems to work fine. I layed it on my groin last night instead of in my sock (anyone wanna borrow my phone?  :P) and I woke ...

Something i'm having some success with is to think of some simple words to alert me when i'm dreaming. I will think "i'm" when I breathe in, and "dreaming" as I breathe out. I imagine what it sounds like when i'm saying it. I don't get caught up in how perfect it sounds, I just g...

My dream state this morning afforded a sexual encounter, but it compromised a Lucid Dream experience.   :-\ April 17th/18th- I went to bed about 10:15 with my phone alarm on vibrate in my sock, set for 3 am. I still did my normal before-sleep affirmations and drifted off breathing "I'm dreamin...

After 4:30 am this morning, I had significant buzzing vibrations and the sensation of straddling something while laying on my side- I foolishly dismissed this state by suggesting to myself that just like other signs or sensations- this one also would disappear without success in a couple of seconds...

Friday night and Saturday are usually the days where I can devote the most time to phase entry- and up to this point they have always proven to be my least successful! Friday, April 16th was the day I resumed deferred indirect entry attempts. Despite by intention, desire, and affirmations, I felt w...

I recently watched a Nicholas Newport video from Lucidology.com. In it, he cautions against watching TV more than an hour before bedtime. He said that it causes some kind of brain wave frequency that is not optimal for phase entry and lucid dreams. I have tried to find more about this topic online, ...
