PathWalkers.Net Interactive :: Helping you along your path It turns out the synchronization between mind and body isn't as close as we might expect. The body doesn't know exactly when your mind has fallen asleep, and for survival reasons would be dangerous for the body to go to sleep before the mind has. So the what happens is the body tests the mind to see if it's asleep. If you lay with a silent mind very still for about 25 minutes and are nicely relaxed, your body will eventually send a very strong signal to your mind saying "I'm uncomfortable, please shift your position in bed." But this is just a ruse! The body is not really uncomfortable, it's just testing to see if it can get a response from the mind. If you ignore this signal, your body waits a few seconds and says "Hmm, the mind must have gone to sleep. Time for me to do the same." At that point you will literally feel a wave of heaviness come over the body. This wave takes about 5 seconds to complete, and when it's done your body has fallen asleep. This wave is very odd feeling and distinct, it's something you can't miss. Before you get the uncomfortable sensation you may also feel a little dizzy as if there's a balloon in your upper body and head that's expanding against the inside of your skull and skin. It's not very much pressure but it is there. There will be no doubt that your body has gone to sleep. If you have silicone putty earplugs in it will be easy to listen to your hearing shift from physical hearing into realtime hearing. So the trick is to lie still until out of nowhere you get a sudden and strong urge to shift your position. It will not be easy to resist it, the body will be somewhat adamant. But if you persist in your deception and fool the body into thinking your mind is asleep then it will follow, and then there you are in mind awake/body asleep! -- Tips: -- * You'll have the best luck with this o­n somewhat less sleep than you usually get then do your attempt in the morning or during your afternoon REM cycle at about 2:00 or 3:00. The first time I got this to work I had o­nly gotten about 3-4 hours of sleep the night before, maybe half my usual sleep time. * For the time you're laying still be completely still, including your eyes. Don't move your eyes even to look at hypnagogics. * Follow the tips in the sleep training section ( http://www.saltcube.com/out-of-body/chat-forum/viewTopic.jsp?t=sleep-training ) for better results. (See the section o­n "Watching Your Impressions o­n The Edge Of Sleep" at http://www.saltcube.com/out-of-body/chat-forum/viewTopic.jsp?t=watching-impressions for more information o­n hypnagogics.) * It's very easy for the mind the fall asleep doing this, you may benefit using a self-repeating timer as a safety net to keep your mind awake. You can use the saltcube timer at http://www.saltcube.com/timer for this. -- Successes Using This Method: -- I'll start with o­ne of my journal entries: "I tried this in the afternoon but missed my body falling asleep and had a false awakening. I was laying here and after a while I realized I was seeing hypnagogic imagery of a person walking I think in my left eye. I opened my eyes and the imagery overlaied o­n the physical scene, it made it look like I was projecting a movie film of the person walking o­n my arm." http://www.pathwalkers.net/interactive/modules....ame=News&file=index&catid=&topic=1&allstories=1 (70 of 284) [12/25/2005 12:22:21 AM]

So pretty much if your mind does fall asleep before you get the 'reposition' signal from the body, then you've missed the opportunity to test it."

I did fall asleep, but then I had an amazing lucid dream in which I was 100% aware. I created verything that I wanted and actually found it quite humorous watching the characters in my dream act accordingly as I was in complete control of their every actions. It was great. More remarkable however is that I woke up a few hours later, and tried it again, and o­nce again had a different and yet still amazing lucid dream. In all I woke up 3 times, tried that technique 3 times, and had 3 great and long lucid dreams. More lucid then I have ever experienced before. In fact in o­ne I remember almost waking up, and because I didn't want to, I thought "breathe deep and relax", and my body did, and I continued with my lucid dreaming. o­ne thing that may be of note is that before I became lucid, each dream was kind of a nightmare. It was the hope that the nightmare wasn't really happening that caused me to look at my hands and watch them become deformed (that's what happens to me instead of them melting away), and that's when I realized I was dreaming.

The following two reports indicate correctly that being in mind awake/body asleep isn't enough to exit the body.
