Hey there!
I was wondering if anyone would be interested in jointly trying to set some sort of goals or tasks to be done in the lucid dream?
A kind of group approach could add some extra positive momentum to the practice of setting strong intentions and taking that into lucid dreaming.
First goals could be more easier ones like flying and pushing fingers through objects, etc.
More advanced could be teleporting, and teleporting to a specific place, which was chosen during the day.
Or speaking with a particular person or teacher, etc.
I donāt have any experiences with such a group approach but could imagine that it probably would be fun and add some extra motivation to do that as a group.
I personally would prefer to start slow with more easy tasks and then gradually go crazy
Anyone interested? What do you think?
Robert Waggoner did something like that back in the day as well through a magazine or something, where there was a task for a month, like keep going forward in the dream to expand space and stuff like that.
I would be for really easy tasks as well, like flying and such things, since at the moment I want to have more lucid dreams and am in the process of trying to stabilize them. So there isnāt so much freedom on focusing on real āmissionsā.
Easy tasks would be great, though, as I was thinking of them anyway to use to stabilize my dreams!
I hear itās possible. This guyās meditation group used their collective practice and random test image assignment (for validation) to do something similar. He talks about even telling your past self something to enhance your current experience.
This group test/example/whatever was on telekinesis and playing lotto. (bad karma unless whatās won is somehow used for the benefit of all beings, and even then itās sketchy karma).
I found it fascinating that a group approach could be used like this.
I only watched from a Curiostās perspective, but it WAS interesting how group efforts could do something.
When I first saw this postās title, I was hoping it was something for accountability pals for daytime practices - heck, even getting through the webinars! Maybe Iāll go start that, if anyone around these parts is a lost newb such as myself!
I say TRY IT!
(ermā¦maybe get clean on any dark corners you may be hiding first tho!)
I look FW to any experiences, if yāall care to share!
Hereās a potent challenge if any lucid folks are up to it:
Iām a sleepwalker day and night so canāt look into this myself.
I have my suspicions. These beautiful, kind creatures have extraordinary sensitivity and true āemotional connectionā. I donāt want to bias anything by pre-loading a mere opinion.
I was hoping for something a little simpler such as touch a flower, or look in a mirror, what do you see? or eat something in a dreamānot solve mysteries of the universe. Not yet, anyway.
hahaha definitely agree with Barry. I would let the problems of the world go for now.
In my penultimate lucid dream I sang. I read in a book of Dr. Clare Johnson, which is a wonderful author on lucid dreaming, as a tool to stabilize the lucid dream. It was delightful to sing in the dream.
So the suggestions, I would come up for now are:
singing
flying
teleporting to a(n) (un)known place
walking through something: a door or a wall
what I really like to do is, to jump out of the window
(in my last lucid dream, it felt so real, that I didnāt dare to jump)
having a mindful conversation with a dream figure
(never did this before consciously, only got sucked in in conversations and lost lucidity)
maybe mindful sex?
(kinda the same with conversations, never went through the whole process really mindfully)
meditating
yoga or any other sports
Maybe work with one task a month?
The dimension of collective practice and its external validation sounds veeeeeery interesting. I would be up for it as well. I wouldnāt care either, though, if we just do it as it is.
@slynnparr Hi, we havenāt started yet. I guess we are currently in the stage in which we could discuss the next steps, i.e. vote/agree on the first dream task to focus on (letās start easy ) and some organizational stuff like perhaps agreeing on a time frame.
What do you all think?
Additionally, is anyone else interested in an accountability buddy/buddies for strengthening daytime practices?
Oh man, I ha e been following Andrews advice and got stuck in a four hour lucid dream this morning. I guess itās better here than on the mat, so to speak. Iām also having an awareNeed drop in that Iām always dreaming. I have an interesting family history to overcome, which is why I think this is such a powerful practice, but darn. I donāt want to do this alone. Seem to keep repeating the same internal battle and I am developing insights, but not able to turn away from my dreams - I mean transform the thought form there. Maybe itās not the point. Just thought Iād share. Are you guys in the sharing your dreams group ? Thinking of jumping into that.
Yeah, weāre all visitors in each otherās ādreamsā and so we help one another by being there, listening, inspiring, questioning and questing. Your are welcome to drop in on Sundays. Characters always welcome.
Iād be in for this! My personal vote for a first task would be to practice a sport motion/movement since it aligns with current dream plans Iām working on, but all the other suggestions are things that sound interesting and challenging so Iād gladly work on any of them.
