After studying multiple things including the economies and governments of the most successful African countries and more I believe that I can give our race a guide on what needs to be done in order to improve ourselves as people. What is included in this guide but is not limited too affirmations, meditation, guerrilla warfare, espionage/spying, and martial arts. For the record I believe that precolonial African history, Pan Africanism, affirmations, meditation, martial arts/self defense need to be taught and practiced in all schools, colleges, and governments in Africa and the Caribbean and frankly should be practiced by Africans or at the very least studied. Now I would like to clarify that African peoples globally don't have to practice all of these things but try to take an interest in at least one of or some of them. African and Caribbean governments should also look into developing either biological weapons, chemical weapons, nuclear weapons, cyber weapons. Governments of African and Caribbean countries also need to take a strong interest in guerrilla warfare and espionage. Also check out pan Africanists Marcus Garvey and Dr. John Henrik Clarke. Be sure to check out my youtube video https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=y9LotEHW7ck
The first thing is meditation. This may seem odd but I strongly, strongly, strongly, strongly recommend that all African people the world over attempt to make meditation a part of their daily life. The benefits to put it mildly are numerous and they include reduced stress, controls anxiety, promotes emotional health, enhances self awareness, increases self awareness, may reduce age related memory loss, can generate kindness, may help fight addictions, improves sleep, controls pain, can decrease blood pressure, you can do it anywhere, improves focus, enhances intelligence, and several more benefits. You can meditate using your body but in this age of technology such as phones and computers you can try going online and listening to what are known as binaural beats. I would recommend meditation be used heavily in all government, schools, colleges, and in the work place. Just like there gym, science, math, social studies classes taught in the average schools meditation class should be included and made mandatory in all schools, colleges, and government. Another critical thing that African people need to look into are affirmations which can be found online on websites like Youtube. Please look up affirmations on Youtube which can reprogram your mind and change your personality and how you think and operate as a human being. I have started using affirmations and I can tell you from personal experience that they are extremely helpful. Affirmations should also be made mandatory in school and some work places.

The next thing I want our people to look at is martial arts. I also advocate that martial arts be taught in all schools and colleges. Whether you want to protect yourself from police brutality, regular crime or a bully who wants your lunch money martial arts can help a lot. Unlike a gun you have access to your body 24 hours a day and unlike the long process of obtaining a gun you can learn martial arts online for free. Martial arts allows a normally physically weak person to build up their physical strength to the point where they can subdue an attacker. Martial arts also teaches the average person self control. Some examples of the deadliest martial arts you can look into are kung fu, muay thai, Brazilian jiu jitsu, eskrima, bacom, vale tudo, ninjutsu, LINE martial art and krav maga. However it is also perfectly fine to use other forms of self defense. Feel free too look up the benefits of martial arts and other types of self defense for yourself.

The next thing I want to get into is espionage or spying. It is no secret that betrayal has been perhaps the biggest obstacle to African peoples success. It has happened in Africa with Patrice Lumumba, America with Malcolm X, it happened in many slave revolts, and has caused havoc across the African continent for decades. Learning how to spy on people will help us determine who the traitors are but where to find them and will help us determine many other things including who is helping the traitors. It can also help us stand up to and challenge enemies with more power than us. Once again feel free to look up the benefits of espionage and spying. Here is a link you can check out www.wikihow-fun.com/Be-a-Spy .
What I am going to discuss next is extremely important and that is learning guerrilla warfare. This is really for African governments and any African adults young to middle aged that are interested. Guerrilla warfare has been used by African people in the successful Haitian revolution, Maroon wars in Jamaica, ANC against the Apartheid Regime in South Africa, African revolutionaries across Africa used guerrilla warfare to fight racist white governments and forced them to out of power this happened when the Portuguese refused to give up their colonies in Africa. Guerrilla warfare to put it simply allows you to challenge and even destroy and enemy who is much stronger than you are. Check out this link if you want to learn how to become a guerrilla. Also look at the book called Handbook of Revolutionary Warfare by Kwame Nkrumah. I urge African people to study African guerrilla fighter Bai Bureh who lived in Sierra Leone in the 1800s and 1900s and his skill was legendary when he fought the British in the Hut Tax War. It is said that the tactics he employed against the British became the forerunner of guerrilla tactics employed by armies worldwide. For you African revolutionaries and militants I strongly recommend looking into computer viruses and cyber warfare which is taking over the world now could be your most powerful weapon. The instructions for deadly computer viruses can be found online easily please check them out. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Strategy_and_tactics_of_guerrilla_warfare#Surprise_and_intelligence . ,www.tech2hack.com/create-dangerous-notepad-virus/, hemendra-blackhathacker.blogspot.com/p/virus-codes.html , sites.ualberta.ca/~enoch/Readings/The_Art_Of_War.pdf
Now lets get into African and Caribbean governments as well as African American communities. We need to study Mauritius, Cape Verde, Seychelles, Jamaica, and Barbados. Mauritius is one of the few African countries with a high human development index. Mauritius has a high income economy, it has the second highest standard of living in Africa, it is considered one of the most democratic countries in Africa and is more democratic than the large majority of countries in the world, it is also more peaceful than the majority of countries in the world including the United States, France and Britain. Seychelles has the unique distinction of being the only African country with a very high level of human development. It has a high income economy, is considered very safe. The next country I want to get into is Cape Verde. Cape Verde is considered one of the most democratic African countries and has been called an African success story, It is also considered more democratic than the large majority of countries on Earth, it also stands out for being one of the rare African countries to generally respect human rights and for several years has had some of the best human rights records on the entire African continent. Barbados is a Caribbean island country with a high income economy, a very high human development index, and considered to be generally safe compared to other Caribbean countries. Another country I want to get into is Michael Manley. He is considered one of Jamaica's most beloved politicians, made numerous reforms to Jamaica's economy and won a few elections. What Barbados, Seychelles, Mauritius, Jamaica under Michael Manley, and Cape Verde share in common is that the ruling political party in these countries follow democratic socialism and social democracy. While the ruling party in Botswana follows paternalistic conservatism it is affiliated with Socialist International which is a worldwide organization which seeks to establish democratic socialism. New Zealand is an extremely successful country and is considered one of the safest in the world and outdoes America in several areas and New Zealand's ruling political party follows a mixture of democratic socialism and social democracy. Basically I am advocating that all African and Caribbean governments adopt a mixture of both democratic socialism and social democracy as ruling political ideologies entirely. Something that African politicians and those who want to be politician should look at is the good things that Mummar Gaddafi and Thomas Sankara did for their countries here are the links https://www.africanexponent.com/post/ten-reasons-libya-under-gaddafi-was-a-great-place-to-live-2746 and here is a link for Sankara https://www.thomassankara.net/facts-about-thomas-sankara-in-burkina-faso/?lang=en. As far as African people living in places like the United States I would strongly recommend that African people reading this study the richest African American communities in America where African people make anywhere from $100,000-$159,000 a year. They also need to study what was known as the Black Wall Street in Tulsa Oklahoma which was one of the richest African American communities ever created where black people even owned their own airplanes. Study these rich African American communities and see what they did to become rich and see if you can apply that to your own community whether you live in America, the UK or France. Also look up videos on Youtube of great African like Boyce Watkins, Chancellor Williams, Claude Anderson and Dr. Amos Wilson. These men spent years writing books that teach us how we can achieve economic success globally and here are some strongly requested readings. The Strongest Case for a Government Following a Mix of Democratic Socialism and Social DemocracyA mixture of democratic socialism and social democracy offers a compelling economic, social, and political framework that balances economic justice with democratic freedoms, ensuring sustained prosperity, social stability, and a higher quality of life. This model can create a high-functioning, fair, and resilient society by combining the market-friendly policies of social democracy with the worker empowerment and wealth redistribution of democratic socialism.

7 Steps to Decolonize the Mind by Phillip Scott
1. Economic Prosperity with FairnessA. Reducing Inequality While Encouraging Innovation
- Democratic socialism ensures that key industries (healthcare, energy, transportation, housing) are socially owned or heavily regulated, preventing monopolies and corporate exploitation.
- Social democracy allows a thriving private sector, ensuring that businesses compete, innovate, and create jobs.
- This model avoids the extremes of state-controlled economies (which can be inefficient) and pure capitalism (which often creates massive inequality).
- Social democratic policies, such as progressive taxation, strong labor laws, and social safety nets, protect citizens from the boom-and-bust cycles of unregulated capitalism.
- Democratic socialism ensures that the means of production in crucial sectors are owned or controlled in a way that prioritizes long-term stability over short-term corporate profits.
- This combination creates an economy that is both productive and fair, avoiding economic crashes caused by corporate greed, financial speculation, and wealth hoarding.
2. A Strong, Democratic State that Respects Civil LibertiesA. Democracy is Protected from Corporate Domination
- In pure capitalist democracies, corporations and billionaires use money to control politics (e.g., campaign financing, media ownership, lobbying).
- Democratic socialism ensures that political power remains in the hands of the people, not the wealthy elite.
- Social democracy protects multi-party democracy, free press, and civil rights while ensuring that economic policies serve the majority.
- Democratic socialism promotes workplace democracy through worker co-ops, union power, and shared ownership of major industries.
- Social democracy ensures that civil liberties, free speech, and political participation are maintained.
- This prevents the authoritarian tendencies sometimes found in fully socialist systems while avoiding the corporate domination of neoliberal capitalism.
3. Universal High-Quality Social ServicesA. Free Healthcare and Education for All
- A hybrid model ensures that healthcare, education, housing, and essential utilities are publicly owned or regulated for affordability.
- Healthcare is a right, not a privilege. No citizen should go bankrupt because of medical bills.
- Education is free and high-quality, ensuring that the economy has an educated workforce without student debt.
- Democratic socialist policies like universal basic income (UBI), free childcare, and affordable housing programs ensure that no one is left behind.
- Social democracy allows for a flexible, market-driven approach to managing social programs efficiently.
- Public investment in green technology ensures that economic growth does not come at the cost of environmental destruction.
- Democratic socialism ensures that energy companies are publicly owned to prevent price gouging and unsustainable fossil fuel dependence.
- Social democracy provides incentives for private companies to invest in renewable energy and green jobs.
4. A Mixed Economy That Works for EveryoneA. Balanced Market and Public Sector
- Democratic socialism ensures that the commanding heights of the economy (banks, energy, major industries) are owned by the people, preventing unchecked corporate power.
- Social democracy allows a vibrant private sector that thrives under fair regulations and worker rights.
- This balance prevents corporate monopolies, while still encouraging entrepreneurship and small business growth.
- Nordic countries (Sweden, Norway, Denmark, Finland) have successfully combined social democracy with aspects of democratic socialism (strong labor unions, universal social programs, high worker protections).
- Germany’s social market economy has elements of public ownership in key sectors, coupled with a thriving private sector.
5. A More Peaceful, Globally Influential SocietyA. Preventing Imperialism and War-Driven Economies
- Fully capitalist nations often rely on military-industrial complexes to fuel economic growth (e.g., U.S. arms sales, endless wars for oil).
- A socialist-democratic model shifts the economy toward sustainable industries like green energy, infrastructure, and technology instead of war.
- Countries that prioritize public welfare over military spending tend to have less aggressive foreign policies.
- A strong, well-equipped defense force remains important, but military intervention is only used for self-defense and peacekeeping.
6. The Best Model for the 21st CenturyA. Avoiding the Pitfalls of Past Systems
- Neoliberal capitalism has created massive wealth inequality, economic instability, and climate crises.
- State-controlled socialism (Soviet-style command economies) led to bureaucratic inefficiencies and authoritarianism.
- A hybrid model that takes the best elements of socialism and democracy prevents both corporate tyranny and government overreach.
- Pandemics, climate change, and economic collapses require strong state action combined with market innovation.
- Countries with universal healthcare and social safety nets handled COVID-19 far better than purely capitalist nations.
- Green energy investments create jobs and economic security without environmental destruction.
Conclusion: The Best of Both WorldsA government that follows a mix of democratic socialism and social democracy provides:
- Economic prosperity without extreme inequality.
- A strong democracy that is not controlled by corporations.
- Universal social programs (healthcare, education, housing) that guarantee dignity for all citizens.
- A dynamic and innovative private sector that thrives under fair regulations.
- A foreign policy focused on peace, diplomacy, and sustainability.

Finally as African people we need to be aware of what is going on the world around us and what has happened in the past so that we don't fall for lies and get tricked into supporting things that aren't morally right or in our best interest. With that being said we should be paying more attention to people like Del Jones(Nana Kuntu), Frances Cress Welsing, Marcus Garvey, Dr. John Henrik Clarke, Malcolm X, Dr. Chancellor Williams, Noam Chomsky , Chris Hedges, Abby Martin, Cornell West, Milton Allimadi, Claude Anderson, Amos Wilson, Edward Robinson, Randall Robinson, Gerald Horne, Osita Nwanevu, and Paul Robeson. Also check out this website called africanholocaust.net . Also look at alternative news like Al Jazeera news, BreakThrough News, AfricaNews.com, and BBC Africa and try following the show known as the empire files which is hosted by Abby Martin and check out a channel on Youtube called Black Power Media.
Come check this out! It will catch you by surprise but you will love it! Come check this out and share it with others! You can do this from the comfort of your bed and reap huge benefits from it! Now I have something special for you. If you have not heard of the term out of body experience that is fine. It is where people feel that they have left their body and have traveled to different places. Now people report traveling across the world or even to other dimensions now whether this is true or not remains to be seen and is something that you will have to decide for yourself. Here are some of the benefits of having an out of body experience. 1. Developed a greater awareness of reality – According to an in-depth survey conducted by Stuart Twemlow, M.D., Glen Cabbard, M.D., and Fowler Jones, Ed.D., eighty-six percent of their three hundred thirty-nine out-of-body participants reported a greater awareness of reality. In the same survey, seventy-eight percent believed they received a lasting benefit.
2. Personal verification of our immortality – A powerful, life-changing event experienced by millions every year. Without a doubt, out-of-body experiences provide firsthand, verifiable evidence of our ability to exist independent of our physical body.
3. Accelerated personal development – The recognition and experience that we are more than physical beings opens entire new levels of personal development. I strongly believe that self-initiated and controlled out-of-body experiences are the cutting edge of accelerated personal development. Once we consciously access and control our nonphysical self, we can unlock the unlimited knowledge of our subconscious mind and harness our ability to explore the universe. The entire subject of human potential is dramatically expanded beyond all current concepts and comprehension.
4. A decreased fear of death – When we experience ourselves consciously separated and independent of our physical body, our fear of death is noticeably reduced. Fear of death is fear of the unknown. Once you separate from your body, you absolutely know that you continue. I have found that the more out-of-body experiences we have, the less fear and anxiety of death is present.
5. Increased psychic abilities – Precognition, telepathy, premonitions, prophecy, the ability to see auras and many other psychic abilities are often reported to be enhanced by out-of-body experiences. The reason for this is currently unknown but many believe it's simply a natural result of us becoming more open and in tune with our internal energy systems.
6. An increased desire for answers – After an out-of-body experience many recognize that the answers are available; many people begin a personal spiritual quest to solve the mysteries they have held since childhood.
7. Realizations concerning death – Out-of-body experiences provide evidence that the process of dying may not be a painful or scary experience but rather a wondrous, spiritual adventure.
8. Accelerated human evolution – The evolution of our species is not the biological change around us but the evolution of consciousness. As our world becomes progressively more complex, there is an inner need to discover the unseen reason behind the rapid physical changes we perceive around us. This need to know the answers to the many mysteries that surround us will take our species into the next level of human evolution. When we look back at human evolution, we see a noticeable transition from physical labor-based societies (agricultural) to increasingly intellectual-based (technology) societies. Eventually, our species will be ready for the next major step of evolution—the recognition and experience of our spiritual self and the exploration of the nonphysical dimensions.
9. Spontaneous healing – There are numerous reports of individuals healing themselves and others when out-of-body. Often this healing is initiated by a focused thought directed to a specific area of the body.
10. More expansive self-concept – Instead of viewing ourselves as a physical being possessing a soul, many recognize themselves as soul (consciousness) temporarily possessing a biological body.
11. Increased spirituality – Many report profound insights into their spiritual nature with a stronger connection to their spiritual essence. According to the phenomenology study conducted by Dr. Stuart Twemlow, fifty-five percent of the participants referred to their out-of-body experience as a spiritual experience. In addition, many report a deep connection to their essence, profound insights into their spiritual nature and a sense of being connected to something far greater than themselves. Whether we call it spirit or the universal mind of God, there are consistent reports of a powerful inner connection.
12. Recognizing and experiencing past-life influences – The work of Dr. Weiss and other respected physicians and hypnotherapists have provided convincing evidence that past-life influences are an important element of our current psychological makeup. These subconscious memories can be effectively accessed and explored through personal out-of-body experiences.
13. Accelerated psychological change – Out-of-body experiences help us to break free from old mental ruts and habits. On many occasions, individuals have told me that the shock of experiencing themselves independent of their physical body has given them a more enlightened perspective of their current existence. This expansive vision of themselves has been instrumental in awakening new levels of personal growth and understanding.
14. Obtaining personal answers – Each of us has questions relating to our existence - What are we? What is our purpose? Do we continue? What is the meaning of life? These questions and many more can only be answered through personal experience. Out-of-body exploration provides a powerful method for all of us to obtain the answers we seek. Why settle for beliefs when the answers are available?
15. Encountering a being of light, a past loved one, an angel or nonphysical resident of some kind – Many people report face-to-face meetings with some form of nonphysical inhabitant. Dr. Stuart Twemlow reports that thirty-seven percent of his study groups were aware of the presence of a nonphysical being while thirty percent reported the presence of guides or helpers.
16. An increased respect for life – A pronounced aversion to violence and killing seems to appear. For example, the idea of hunting and killing an animal becomes repugnant. I believe this is due to the personal knowledge obtained concerning our spiritual interconnectiveness.
17. Increased self-respect, self-responsibility and inner dependence – Many recognize, often for the first time, that they are the creative center of their physical existence. They often experience the vast potential and power of their inner, nonphysical self and tap into their creative essence. Many people have told me that they realize more than ever that they are completely responsible for all their actions, both thoughts and deeds.
18. A reduction in hostility, violence and crime – Those who experience themselves as more than just their bodies often realize the self-destructiveness of stealing or harming another person. This is due to their personal recognition that they truly do continue independent of the physical body. Since they now absolutely know they continue after death, they now realize and comprehend that their personal responsibility also continues.
19. A profound sense of knowing instead of believing – Personal knowledge is powerful and life-changing, especially when compared to beliefs. Out-of-body experiences provide firsthand, verifiable knowledge of our immortality and our spiritual identity. This profound knowledge cannot be adequately explained—it must be experienced.
20. An inner calmness – A feeling of peace that comes from personal experience and knowledge instead of grasping at hope or belief that we truly are immortal.
21. A sense of adventure – Every day and night is an opportunity to experience a new adventure. The author, Tom Robbins, may have said it best, "Our great human adventure is the evolution of consciousness. We are in this life to enlarge the soul and light up the brain."
The many benefits of out-of-body experiences are a reality that each of us can experience. All we need is an open mind and the proper guidance to access our unlimited personal potential. Our natural ability to experience our spiritual nature and explore the unseen areas of the universe is available, but it is up to us to take the step from being a curious observer to being an active explorer of consciousness. I believe this step is a critical turning point in our life and our personal evolution. The decision to explore beyond the limits of our physical body can provide an effective method to obtain the answers and insights so many of us seek.
Our journey of consciousness from the physical to the spiritual is a reality we cannot escape - our only real decision is when we will begin.
Now remember whether you are Christian, Muslim, Hindu, or just a total atheist you can have an out of body experience. Out of body experiences are not restricted by things such as beliefs or places. They are a global phenomenon and any person can experience them so lets get to the fun part and that is how to have them. A perfect instruction for beginners and with detailed troubleshooting!
Success Rate for lucid dreams and OBE:
For 1-5 attempts (1-3 days) – 50%
For 6-10 attempts (2-7 days) – 80%
For 11-20 attempts (3-14 days) – 90%
How to lucid dream tonight: the easiest technique
So, you have decided to experience out-of-body travel or lucid dreams and want to achieve this as quickly as possible. To that end, here we present a brief description of the easiest method – cycles of indirect techniques. This is a universal and most effective way to obtain a phase experience (a term that unite lucid dreams and out-of-body experience/OBE). It has been refined by the Phase Research Center’s work with thousands of people all over the world. The secret to indirect techniques is to perform them upon awakening, when the human brain is physiologically quite close to dreams, or still in it.
Interesting Fact!
Indirect techniques are mainly to thank for our 80% success rate over only 2 days of attempts at three-day seminars, even in groups of 50 people and more. Once, more than half of the group had a lucid dreaming experience by the second day, and most had two or more experiences.
Cycles of indirect techniques consist of attempts to separate immediately upon awakening, and if that is unsuccessful, then quickly cycling through techniques over the course of a minute until one of them works, after which it is possible to separate from the body again and dive into a lucid dream. Usually, 1 to 5 properly performed attempts are all that is necessary to obtain results.
The techniques described below work extremely well both when awakening from a daytime nap, as well as in the middle of the night. However, we will be concentrating on the optimum strategy – the deferred method – which allows for numerous attempts to be had in a single day. This substantially increases the probability of success occurring in only 1 to 3 days.
Step 1: Sleep 6 Hours and Then Wake Up with an Alarm Clock
(You may skip the step)
On a night before a free day when you won’t have to wake up early, go to bed at your usual time and set your alarm so that you’ll only sleep for about 6 hours. When the alarm goes off, you must get up to drink a glass of water, go to the bathroom, and read these instructions for lucid dreams once again. Do not attempt any techniques before going to bed the night before, no matter what the case. You just need to lie down and get some sound sleep. The sounder you sleep over these 6 hours, the better your chances of getting results.
Step 2: Go Back to Sleep with an Intention to Have a Lucid Dream
(You may skip the step)
After 3 to 50 minutes of being awake, go back to bed and concentrate your attention on how you will perform cycles of indirect techniques upon each subsequent awakening in order to leave your body (the same as experience a lucid dream) and implement your prepared plan of action. No need to set the alarm clock this time. Each subsequent awakening should occur naturally. If it’s too bright in the room, you can wear a special eye-mask. If it’s loud – use earplugs.
Out-of-body travel. Best Technique
Meanwhile, focus your attention on how you’re going to try to wake up without moving your physical body. This isn’t mandatory, but it will substantially increase the effectiveness of the indirect techniques.
Now, sleep for 1 to 3 hours, but take advantage of natural awakenings that occur during this period of time. They will happen much more often than usual. After each attempt – whether successful or not for lucid dreams – you must fall back asleep with that very same intention of waking up and trying again. In this way, you can make many attempts over the course of a single morning. Up to a quarter of those attempts will be successful, even for novices (70 to 95% of them will be successful for experienced practitioners of lucid dreamings and out-of-body travel).
Step 3: Separate the Instant You Awaken
How to lucid dream tonight: the easiest technique
If you cannot wake up or don’t remember about the method at this moment, just download this Practical alarm clock and start in 2-3 hours before final awakening.
Each time you wake up again, try not to move or open your eyes. Instead, immediately try to separate from your body. Up to 50% of success with indirect techniques comes during this simple first step – one that is so simple that people don’t even suspect that it could work.
In order to separate from your body (to get an OBE or a lucid dream), simply try to stand up, roll out, or levitate. Try to do it with your own perceived (i.e. subtle) body, but without moving your physical muscles. Remember that it will feel just like normal physical movement. When the moment comes, don’t think too hard about how to do it. During those first moments after awakening, stubbornly try to separate from your body any way that you can and no matter what. Most likely, you’ll intuitively know how to do it. The most important thing is not to think too hard and not to lose those first seconds of awakening.
Interesting Fact!
During the second lesson at School of Out-of-Body Travel seminars, participants are asked to explain in their own words how they were able to separate, but without using the words “easily”, “simply”, or “as usual”. They are usually always unable to comply with this request, as separation nearly always occurs for them “easily”, “simply” and “as usual” when the moment is right.
Step 4: Cycling Techniques after Attempts to Separate
How to lucid dream tonight: the easiest technique
if you don’t understand what to do or you need some help with practicing this method, just download an audio instruction: techniques 1 or technques 2
If immediate separation doesn’t work out – which would become apparent after 3-5 seconds – start right then and there to alternate between 2 to 3 of the techniques that are most straightforward to you, until one of them works. When this happens, you can try to separate again and get a lucid dream. Choose 2 to 3 of the following five techniques so that you can alternate through them during awakenings:
Rotation
For 3 to 5 seconds, try to imagine rotating to either side along your head-to-toe axis as vividly as possible. If no sensations arise, switch to another technique. If a real or even slight sensation of rotation arises, focus your attention on this technique and rotate even more energetically. As soon as the sensation of rotating becomes stable and real, you should try to separate again using it as a starting point.
Swimmer technique
For 3 to 5 seconds, try to imagine as decidedly as possible that you are swimming or simply making swimming motions with your arms. Try to feel it no matter what, and as vividly as you can. If nothing happens, switch to another technique. There is no need to switch techniques if the sensation of swimming arises. Instead, intensify the sensations that arise. Afterwards, the real sensation of swimming in water will come to you. That’s already a lucid dream – and there’s no need for separation when you’re already in a lucid dream. However, if such sensations occur while you’re in bed instead of a body of water, then you will need to employ a separation technique. Use the swimming sensations as a starting point.
Observing images
Peer into the void before your closed eyes for 3 to 5 seconds. If nothing occurs, switch to another technique. If you see any kind of imagery, peer into it until it becomes realistic. Once it is, separate from the body right then and there, or allow yourself to be pulled into the imagery. When peering at imagery, it’s important not to scrutinize details, lest the image wash away. You’ll need to look through the picture, which will make it more realistic.
Hand visualization
For 3 to 5 seconds, imagine vividly and decidedly that you are rubbing your hands together close to your eyes. Try no matter what to feel them in front of you, to see them, and even to hear the sound of them rubbing. If nothing happens, switch to another technique. If any of the above sensations start to arise, then keep with the technique and intensify it until it becomes totally realistic. Afterwards you can try to separate from the body, using the sensations arising from the technique as a start-off point.
Phantom wiggling
Try to wiggle your perceived hands or feet for 3 to 5 seconds. Do not move a muscle under any circumstances, and do not imagine the movement itself. For example, try to intensively press down and then up, wiggle to the left and right, and so on. If nothing occurs, switch to another technique. If a slight or sluggish sensation of real movement suddenly arises, then focus your attention on the technique, trying to increase the range of motion as much as you can. Once you can move by at least 4 inches, immediately try to separate from your body starting off from the sensations arising from the technique.
All that you need to do for each attempt is alternate between 2 to 3 techniques for 3 to 5 seconds each. This leads to indirect techniques cycles, where the practitioner alternates one technique after another over the course of a minute in search of the one that works. It is very important to do no less than 4 cycles of 2 to 3 techniques during an attempt. Remember – even if a technique doesn’t work immediately, that doesn’t mean that it will not work on the very next cycle of techniques, if not just a bit later. That’s precisely why it’s necessary to stubbornly alternate techniques, performing no less than 4 complete cycles, but all within no longer than a minute. If you were wonder how to have lucid dreams, that the best way for it!
For example, the entire process may take place as follows: a practitioner goes to bed at 11:30pm and sets his alarm for 6:00am; at 6:00 he wakes up to his alarm clock, goes to the bathroom, drinks some water, and recalls the indirect techniques as well as his interesting plan of action for the phase (for example, to look in the mirror and fly to Mars); at 6:05am the practitioner goes back to sleep with the clear intention of entering the phase upon each subsequent awakening; at 7:35am (or whenever natural awakening occurs) the practitioner awakes unexpectedly and immediately tries to separate from his body then and there; not having separated within 3 to 5 seconds, the practitioner begins to try to do rotations, but those also do not work within 3 to 5 seconds; the practitioner performs the swimmer technique, but that does not work within 3 to 5 seconds, the practitioner does phantom wiggling, but it doesn’t work within 3 to 5 seconds, the practitioner does rotation again, then the swimmer technique and phantom wiggling for 3 to 5 seconds each; then he once again does rotation, swimming, and phantom wiggling for 3 to 5 seconds each; on the fourth cycle he begins to do rotation and it unexpectedly starts working – the feeling of rotation arises; the practitionerkeeps with this technique, and spins as hard as he can and separates from his body right then and there using the sensation of rotation: he then runs to the mirror, all the while actively palpating and scrutinizing everything around him from a close distance, which intensifies his sensations; having already looked in the mirror, the practitioner employs the translocation technique and finds himself on Mars, but he is unexpectedly returned to the body; the practitioner then immediately tries to leave his body again, but is unable to; he falls back asleep with the clear intention of repeating the attempt upon the next awakening and staying longer on Mars; and so on.
Just repeat the above using the techniques that come most naturally to you, and you’ll open yourself up to a whole new universe of lucid dreanming and out-of-body experience!
Lucid dreaming. Best techniques
If you take 20 to 30 minutes out of your day to simply train the techniques and the procedure, the method will be remembered and work better. This will substantially increase the success of attempts upon awakening.
Dream consciousness is also considered to be a phase experience. If you suddenly realize that you’re dreaming while asleep, then that’s already the phase! You should therefore proceed to implement your plan of action and stabilize the state. If dream consciousness does arise, it would be a side effect of doing technique cycles upon awakenings. This side effect is quite common – always be ready for it.
Step 5: After Attempts to Induce Lucid Dreams and OBEs
How to lucid dream tonight: the easiest technique
Fall back asleep if you can after each attempt (whether successful or not) in order to make another attempt to obtain lucid dreams upon your next awakening. That way you’ll not only be able to have a lucid dream in one day, but also to get it several times on the very first day!
Interesting Fact!
At a School of Out-of-Body Travel seminar, a novice was able to leave his body for the first time in his life in 6 of 8 attempts upon awakening the very first morning.
Even the most unsuccessful attempt should last no longer than a minute. If nothing happens over that period of time, it’s much more effective to fall asleep and catch the next awakening, as opposed to stubbornly trying to squeeze results out of the current attempt.
Plan of Action in Lucid Dreams and Out-of-Body experience
How to lucid dream tonight: the easiest technique
Before diving in a lucid dream, you should clearly outline what you are going to do there immediately after separation. This will increase both the quality of the experience and the likelihood of it occurring. Below is a list of the most interesting (if not the most straightforward) phase activities for novices (choose no more than 2 to 3 activities and remember them well):
Look in a mirror (a must for the first lucid dream!)
Eat or drink something you like
Visit any tourist attraction
Fly over the Earth
Fly throughout the Universe
Fly to neighbors, friends, and family
Meet a lover
Meet a deceased relative
Meet any celebrity
Take medicine for treatment
Obtain information from lucid dreaming objects
Travel to the past or the future
Walk through a wall
Transmutate into an animal
Drive a sports car
Ride a motorcycle
Breathe underwater
Put your hand inside your body
Feel vibrations
Inhabit two bodies at once
Inhabit another person’s body
Move and set fire to objects just by looking at them
Drink liquor
Make love and reach orgasm
For your first lucid dream/OBE, be sure to set yourself the goal of making it to a mirror and looking at your reflection. You should specifically program yourself to do this activity, as it will substantially facilitate your first steps in conquering the phase. You may then complete other items on your plan of action and never return to the mirror again.
If your sensations in a lucid dream are dull (i.e. poor sight or numbed bodily sensations), try to touch everything around you actively and scrutinize the minute details of objects from up-close. This will allow you to have a more realistic experience. The same activities should be performed in order to maintain the phase when the first symptoms of a return to the body occur (for example, when everything becomes dim).
Returning to the body is something you needn’t worry about. The state will not last more than several minutes in any case, especially for novices who are little-acquainted with techniques for maintaining lucid dreams.
Didn’t Work? How to Find Mistakes in Lucid Dreaming Techniques?
How to lucid dream tonight: the easiest technique
Set yourself this goal: make 5 to 10 attempts to have lucid dreams upon awakening. This procedure, when followed correctly, is sufficient for 50 to 80 percent of novices to get their first results. Turn back to this section if you run into a problem, as it describes the mistakes encountered in 99% (!) of unsuccessful attempts.
Never try these techniques every day, otherwise the success rate of your attempts will drop drastically! Spend no more than 2 to 3 days of the week on it, preferably only on days off. If you don’t have an opportunity to sleep in long and with interruption, then don’t forget that cycles of indirect techniques can also be used after any other awakening – in the middle of the night for example, or better yet, during a midday nap. What’s most important is to establish the clear intention of trying them before falling asleep.
Despite the simplicity of these techniques, novices stubbornly deviate from the clear instructions, following them in their own way or only half-way. Remember what’s most important beforehand: the more carefully and literally you follow the instructions for how to have a lucid dream tonight, the better your chances. Ninety percent will obtain results within one to three awakenings if they do everything correctly from the beginning.
Interesting Fact!
At School of Out-of-Body Travel seminars, the main task consists not in explaining the proper procedure, but merely in getting participants to follow it to-the-letter. Even if that goal is only half-way accomplished, success is inevitable.
Typical mistakes when performing indirect techniques include:
– Lack of an attempt to separate
Forgetting to simply try to separate immediately after awakening before cycling techniques, even though this may lead to up to 50% of all experiences. Exception: awakening to movement, after which one may immediately proceed to the techniques.
– Lack of aggression
A desire to get a technique to work no matter what and really get into it is the main criterion for success in employing the indirect technique procedure. Meanwhile, determination should not be superficial, but intensely focused on the actions to be completed. Lack of determination can also manifest itself in passively falling asleep during an attempt.
– Fewer than 4 cycles
No matter what happens and no matter what thoughts occur, you should perform no less than 4 cycles of techniques, assuming none have worked so far. Not following this simple rule will scuttle more than half of your opportunities to induce lucid dreams.
– Unnecessary Change of Technique
Despite the clear instructions given, novices will stubbornly switch techniques after 3 to 5 seconds, even when a technique has started working in one way or another. This is a serious error. If a technique has started working – however so slightly – you need to keep with it and try to intensify it in any way possible.
– Unnecessary Continuation of a Technique
If a technique hasn’t begun working in the least after 3 to 5 seconds, it should be changed for another. The point of cycling is to quickly alternate between techniques until one of them starts working.
– Forgetting to Separate
When any technique starts working upon awakening – no matter to what degree – the practitioner is nearly always already in the phase, and is simply lying on his body while in it. That’s why you should always try to separate immediately upon there being stable signs that a technique is working. If that doesn’t work out, then you need to return to intensifying the technique and try to separate again. If you don’t use the first seconds of a technique working, then the phase usually ends quite quickly and the necessary state goes away. Don’t lie in your body while in a lucid dream!
– Excessive Analysis
If you analyze what’s going on when cycling through techniques upon awakening, then you are not concentrated on the techniques themselves and are sidetracking yourself. This will cause you to miss nearly all chances of obtaining results. The desire to experience the technique working should fully consume you, leaving no place in the mind for analysis or contemplation.
– Excessively Alert Awakening (no Attempt or a Sluggish One)
Due to the perception of an excessively alert awakening (which will be not actually be alert, but only seem to be from 70 to 90% of the time) the practitioner will either forgo trying anything, or will make attempts quite unassuredly, which is equivalent to not trying at all. You ought to follow the instructions automatically, and not pay attention to such perceptions upon awakening.
– Attempting for Longer than a Minute
If no result is obtained after one minute of cycling, then your odds of success will be much greater if you go back to sleep right away and catch the next awakening in order to make a new attempt, as opposed to stubbornly trying to continue on with the techniques.
– Incomplete Separation
When attempting to separate, sometimes it doesn’t come easily or completely. Sluggishness, stuck body parts, and being stuck in two bodies at once are some things that may occur. Never give up under any circumstances and do not stop separating if this happens. Full separation will occur if you counteract such problems with all your strength.
– Not Recognizing Lucid Dreams
Practitioners often experience lucid dreams but then return back to the body because they feel that what occurred is not what they had expected. For example, when observing images they are often pulled into the scenery, or they are spontaneously thrown into another world when rotating. Practitioners often think that they have to experience the feeling of separation itself, which is why they might return back to their bodies in order to obtain it. The same applies to becoming conscious while dreaming, as the practitioner is already in the phase and it only remains to deepen and implement his plan of action.
– Awakening to Movement (no Attempt or a Sluggish One)
Awakening without moving is desirable, but not mandatory. There’s no sense in forgoing most opportunities by waiting for the right awakening. You must take advantage of every awakening that you can.
– Wasting the First Seconds
Try to develop the habit of immediately and reflexively proceeding to the techniques upon awakening, without losing a second. The more time that elapses between awakening and the attempt itself, the lower the odds of success. It’s best to learn to catch not so much the very second of awakening, but rather the transitional moment when “surfacing” from sleep. Separation is almost always successful during that transitional moment.
– Use of a Single Technique
Cycling indirect techniques upon awakening is a universal method that can work for anybody provided they alternate several techniques. Completely different methods may work over different attempts. That’s why using only a single technique upon awakening instead of cycling through at least two leads to substantially lowered odds of inducing lucid dreams.
– False Physical Movement
Sometimes separation is so indistinguishable from ordinary physical movement that novices are unable to believe their own success. They perceive separation as a physical movement and then disappointedly lie back down into their body. In such cases, one ought to carefully evaluate the situation and possibly perform reality checks.
The Four Principles of Success
How to lucid dream tonight: the easiest technique
Now you know how to have a lucid dream tonight, but the next tips will increase your success rate a lot:
Do It No Matter What. When performing lucid dreaming techniques, put your all into them and concentrate on them as if they were your life’s goal and mission. Chomp at the bit to leave your body.
Be Aggressive. Put all of your enthusiasm and desire into the techniques. The desire to get the techniques to work should be coupled with full aggression in achieving that result.
Be Self-Assured. During attempts to get a lucid dream, be as sure as possible of the results. When making attempts, lack of assuredness in yourself and the results will substantially lower your probability of lucid dreaming entrance. Nearly all phase entrances are accompanied by self-assured thought like “I’m going to do it now”, while unsuccessful attempts involve thinking “I guess I’ll try, but I doubt it’ll work”.
Do it Robotically. Don’t think about anything when completing the technique procedure. You already have the instructions. Just carry them out, not matter what things may seem to you or what thoughts enter your mind. Robotically is also understood to mean exactly. The indirect technique procedure has been honed by work with thousands of practitioners all over the world, neglecting any detail isn’t worth it. Something critical that was also said by a famous out of body experience teacher is that separation for an out of body experience has to be initiated by saying out loud or in your mind door now! or roll now!

2. Personal verification of our immortality – A powerful, life-changing event experienced by millions every year. Without a doubt, out-of-body experiences provide firsthand, verifiable evidence of our ability to exist independent of our physical body.
3. Accelerated personal development – The recognition and experience that we are more than physical beings opens entire new levels of personal development. I strongly believe that self-initiated and controlled out-of-body experiences are the cutting edge of accelerated personal development. Once we consciously access and control our nonphysical self, we can unlock the unlimited knowledge of our subconscious mind and harness our ability to explore the universe. The entire subject of human potential is dramatically expanded beyond all current concepts and comprehension.
4. A decreased fear of death – When we experience ourselves consciously separated and independent of our physical body, our fear of death is noticeably reduced. Fear of death is fear of the unknown. Once you separate from your body, you absolutely know that you continue. I have found that the more out-of-body experiences we have, the less fear and anxiety of death is present.
5. Increased psychic abilities – Precognition, telepathy, premonitions, prophecy, the ability to see auras and many other psychic abilities are often reported to be enhanced by out-of-body experiences. The reason for this is currently unknown but many believe it's simply a natural result of us becoming more open and in tune with our internal energy systems.
6. An increased desire for answers – After an out-of-body experience many recognize that the answers are available; many people begin a personal spiritual quest to solve the mysteries they have held since childhood.
7. Realizations concerning death – Out-of-body experiences provide evidence that the process of dying may not be a painful or scary experience but rather a wondrous, spiritual adventure.
8. Accelerated human evolution – The evolution of our species is not the biological change around us but the evolution of consciousness. As our world becomes progressively more complex, there is an inner need to discover the unseen reason behind the rapid physical changes we perceive around us. This need to know the answers to the many mysteries that surround us will take our species into the next level of human evolution. When we look back at human evolution, we see a noticeable transition from physical labor-based societies (agricultural) to increasingly intellectual-based (technology) societies. Eventually, our species will be ready for the next major step of evolution—the recognition and experience of our spiritual self and the exploration of the nonphysical dimensions.
9. Spontaneous healing – There are numerous reports of individuals healing themselves and others when out-of-body. Often this healing is initiated by a focused thought directed to a specific area of the body.
10. More expansive self-concept – Instead of viewing ourselves as a physical being possessing a soul, many recognize themselves as soul (consciousness) temporarily possessing a biological body.
11. Increased spirituality – Many report profound insights into their spiritual nature with a stronger connection to their spiritual essence. According to the phenomenology study conducted by Dr. Stuart Twemlow, fifty-five percent of the participants referred to their out-of-body experience as a spiritual experience. In addition, many report a deep connection to their essence, profound insights into their spiritual nature and a sense of being connected to something far greater than themselves. Whether we call it spirit or the universal mind of God, there are consistent reports of a powerful inner connection.
12. Recognizing and experiencing past-life influences – The work of Dr. Weiss and other respected physicians and hypnotherapists have provided convincing evidence that past-life influences are an important element of our current psychological makeup. These subconscious memories can be effectively accessed and explored through personal out-of-body experiences.
13. Accelerated psychological change – Out-of-body experiences help us to break free from old mental ruts and habits. On many occasions, individuals have told me that the shock of experiencing themselves independent of their physical body has given them a more enlightened perspective of their current existence. This expansive vision of themselves has been instrumental in awakening new levels of personal growth and understanding.
14. Obtaining personal answers – Each of us has questions relating to our existence - What are we? What is our purpose? Do we continue? What is the meaning of life? These questions and many more can only be answered through personal experience. Out-of-body exploration provides a powerful method for all of us to obtain the answers we seek. Why settle for beliefs when the answers are available?
15. Encountering a being of light, a past loved one, an angel or nonphysical resident of some kind – Many people report face-to-face meetings with some form of nonphysical inhabitant. Dr. Stuart Twemlow reports that thirty-seven percent of his study groups were aware of the presence of a nonphysical being while thirty percent reported the presence of guides or helpers.
16. An increased respect for life – A pronounced aversion to violence and killing seems to appear. For example, the idea of hunting and killing an animal becomes repugnant. I believe this is due to the personal knowledge obtained concerning our spiritual interconnectiveness.
17. Increased self-respect, self-responsibility and inner dependence – Many recognize, often for the first time, that they are the creative center of their physical existence. They often experience the vast potential and power of their inner, nonphysical self and tap into their creative essence. Many people have told me that they realize more than ever that they are completely responsible for all their actions, both thoughts and deeds.
18. A reduction in hostility, violence and crime – Those who experience themselves as more than just their bodies often realize the self-destructiveness of stealing or harming another person. This is due to their personal recognition that they truly do continue independent of the physical body. Since they now absolutely know they continue after death, they now realize and comprehend that their personal responsibility also continues.
19. A profound sense of knowing instead of believing – Personal knowledge is powerful and life-changing, especially when compared to beliefs. Out-of-body experiences provide firsthand, verifiable knowledge of our immortality and our spiritual identity. This profound knowledge cannot be adequately explained—it must be experienced.
20. An inner calmness – A feeling of peace that comes from personal experience and knowledge instead of grasping at hope or belief that we truly are immortal.
21. A sense of adventure – Every day and night is an opportunity to experience a new adventure. The author, Tom Robbins, may have said it best, "Our great human adventure is the evolution of consciousness. We are in this life to enlarge the soul and light up the brain."
The many benefits of out-of-body experiences are a reality that each of us can experience. All we need is an open mind and the proper guidance to access our unlimited personal potential. Our natural ability to experience our spiritual nature and explore the unseen areas of the universe is available, but it is up to us to take the step from being a curious observer to being an active explorer of consciousness. I believe this step is a critical turning point in our life and our personal evolution. The decision to explore beyond the limits of our physical body can provide an effective method to obtain the answers and insights so many of us seek.
Our journey of consciousness from the physical to the spiritual is a reality we cannot escape - our only real decision is when we will begin.
Now remember whether you are Christian, Muslim, Hindu, or just a total atheist you can have an out of body experience. Out of body experiences are not restricted by things such as beliefs or places. They are a global phenomenon and any person can experience them so lets get to the fun part and that is how to have them. A perfect instruction for beginners and with detailed troubleshooting!
Success Rate for lucid dreams and OBE:
For 1-5 attempts (1-3 days) – 50%
For 6-10 attempts (2-7 days) – 80%
For 11-20 attempts (3-14 days) – 90%
How to lucid dream tonight: the easiest technique
So, you have decided to experience out-of-body travel or lucid dreams and want to achieve this as quickly as possible. To that end, here we present a brief description of the easiest method – cycles of indirect techniques. This is a universal and most effective way to obtain a phase experience (a term that unite lucid dreams and out-of-body experience/OBE). It has been refined by the Phase Research Center’s work with thousands of people all over the world. The secret to indirect techniques is to perform them upon awakening, when the human brain is physiologically quite close to dreams, or still in it.
Interesting Fact!
Indirect techniques are mainly to thank for our 80% success rate over only 2 days of attempts at three-day seminars, even in groups of 50 people and more. Once, more than half of the group had a lucid dreaming experience by the second day, and most had two or more experiences.
Cycles of indirect techniques consist of attempts to separate immediately upon awakening, and if that is unsuccessful, then quickly cycling through techniques over the course of a minute until one of them works, after which it is possible to separate from the body again and dive into a lucid dream. Usually, 1 to 5 properly performed attempts are all that is necessary to obtain results.
The techniques described below work extremely well both when awakening from a daytime nap, as well as in the middle of the night. However, we will be concentrating on the optimum strategy – the deferred method – which allows for numerous attempts to be had in a single day. This substantially increases the probability of success occurring in only 1 to 3 days.
Step 1: Sleep 6 Hours and Then Wake Up with an Alarm Clock
(You may skip the step)
On a night before a free day when you won’t have to wake up early, go to bed at your usual time and set your alarm so that you’ll only sleep for about 6 hours. When the alarm goes off, you must get up to drink a glass of water, go to the bathroom, and read these instructions for lucid dreams once again. Do not attempt any techniques before going to bed the night before, no matter what the case. You just need to lie down and get some sound sleep. The sounder you sleep over these 6 hours, the better your chances of getting results.
Step 2: Go Back to Sleep with an Intention to Have a Lucid Dream
(You may skip the step)
After 3 to 50 minutes of being awake, go back to bed and concentrate your attention on how you will perform cycles of indirect techniques upon each subsequent awakening in order to leave your body (the same as experience a lucid dream) and implement your prepared plan of action. No need to set the alarm clock this time. Each subsequent awakening should occur naturally. If it’s too bright in the room, you can wear a special eye-mask. If it’s loud – use earplugs.
Out-of-body travel. Best Technique
Meanwhile, focus your attention on how you’re going to try to wake up without moving your physical body. This isn’t mandatory, but it will substantially increase the effectiveness of the indirect techniques.
Now, sleep for 1 to 3 hours, but take advantage of natural awakenings that occur during this period of time. They will happen much more often than usual. After each attempt – whether successful or not for lucid dreams – you must fall back asleep with that very same intention of waking up and trying again. In this way, you can make many attempts over the course of a single morning. Up to a quarter of those attempts will be successful, even for novices (70 to 95% of them will be successful for experienced practitioners of lucid dreamings and out-of-body travel).
Step 3: Separate the Instant You Awaken
How to lucid dream tonight: the easiest technique
If you cannot wake up or don’t remember about the method at this moment, just download this Practical alarm clock and start in 2-3 hours before final awakening.
Each time you wake up again, try not to move or open your eyes. Instead, immediately try to separate from your body. Up to 50% of success with indirect techniques comes during this simple first step – one that is so simple that people don’t even suspect that it could work.
In order to separate from your body (to get an OBE or a lucid dream), simply try to stand up, roll out, or levitate. Try to do it with your own perceived (i.e. subtle) body, but without moving your physical muscles. Remember that it will feel just like normal physical movement. When the moment comes, don’t think too hard about how to do it. During those first moments after awakening, stubbornly try to separate from your body any way that you can and no matter what. Most likely, you’ll intuitively know how to do it. The most important thing is not to think too hard and not to lose those first seconds of awakening.
Interesting Fact!
During the second lesson at School of Out-of-Body Travel seminars, participants are asked to explain in their own words how they were able to separate, but without using the words “easily”, “simply”, or “as usual”. They are usually always unable to comply with this request, as separation nearly always occurs for them “easily”, “simply” and “as usual” when the moment is right.
Step 4: Cycling Techniques after Attempts to Separate
How to lucid dream tonight: the easiest technique
if you don’t understand what to do or you need some help with practicing this method, just download an audio instruction: techniques 1 or technques 2
If immediate separation doesn’t work out – which would become apparent after 3-5 seconds – start right then and there to alternate between 2 to 3 of the techniques that are most straightforward to you, until one of them works. When this happens, you can try to separate again and get a lucid dream. Choose 2 to 3 of the following five techniques so that you can alternate through them during awakenings:
Rotation
For 3 to 5 seconds, try to imagine rotating to either side along your head-to-toe axis as vividly as possible. If no sensations arise, switch to another technique. If a real or even slight sensation of rotation arises, focus your attention on this technique and rotate even more energetically. As soon as the sensation of rotating becomes stable and real, you should try to separate again using it as a starting point.
Swimmer technique
For 3 to 5 seconds, try to imagine as decidedly as possible that you are swimming or simply making swimming motions with your arms. Try to feel it no matter what, and as vividly as you can. If nothing happens, switch to another technique. There is no need to switch techniques if the sensation of swimming arises. Instead, intensify the sensations that arise. Afterwards, the real sensation of swimming in water will come to you. That’s already a lucid dream – and there’s no need for separation when you’re already in a lucid dream. However, if such sensations occur while you’re in bed instead of a body of water, then you will need to employ a separation technique. Use the swimming sensations as a starting point.
Observing images
Peer into the void before your closed eyes for 3 to 5 seconds. If nothing occurs, switch to another technique. If you see any kind of imagery, peer into it until it becomes realistic. Once it is, separate from the body right then and there, or allow yourself to be pulled into the imagery. When peering at imagery, it’s important not to scrutinize details, lest the image wash away. You’ll need to look through the picture, which will make it more realistic.
Hand visualization
For 3 to 5 seconds, imagine vividly and decidedly that you are rubbing your hands together close to your eyes. Try no matter what to feel them in front of you, to see them, and even to hear the sound of them rubbing. If nothing happens, switch to another technique. If any of the above sensations start to arise, then keep with the technique and intensify it until it becomes totally realistic. Afterwards you can try to separate from the body, using the sensations arising from the technique as a start-off point.
Phantom wiggling
Try to wiggle your perceived hands or feet for 3 to 5 seconds. Do not move a muscle under any circumstances, and do not imagine the movement itself. For example, try to intensively press down and then up, wiggle to the left and right, and so on. If nothing occurs, switch to another technique. If a slight or sluggish sensation of real movement suddenly arises, then focus your attention on the technique, trying to increase the range of motion as much as you can. Once you can move by at least 4 inches, immediately try to separate from your body starting off from the sensations arising from the technique.
All that you need to do for each attempt is alternate between 2 to 3 techniques for 3 to 5 seconds each. This leads to indirect techniques cycles, where the practitioner alternates one technique after another over the course of a minute in search of the one that works. It is very important to do no less than 4 cycles of 2 to 3 techniques during an attempt. Remember – even if a technique doesn’t work immediately, that doesn’t mean that it will not work on the very next cycle of techniques, if not just a bit later. That’s precisely why it’s necessary to stubbornly alternate techniques, performing no less than 4 complete cycles, but all within no longer than a minute. If you were wonder how to have lucid dreams, that the best way for it!
For example, the entire process may take place as follows: a practitioner goes to bed at 11:30pm and sets his alarm for 6:00am; at 6:00 he wakes up to his alarm clock, goes to the bathroom, drinks some water, and recalls the indirect techniques as well as his interesting plan of action for the phase (for example, to look in the mirror and fly to Mars); at 6:05am the practitioner goes back to sleep with the clear intention of entering the phase upon each subsequent awakening; at 7:35am (or whenever natural awakening occurs) the practitioner awakes unexpectedly and immediately tries to separate from his body then and there; not having separated within 3 to 5 seconds, the practitioner begins to try to do rotations, but those also do not work within 3 to 5 seconds; the practitioner performs the swimmer technique, but that does not work within 3 to 5 seconds, the practitioner does phantom wiggling, but it doesn’t work within 3 to 5 seconds, the practitioner does rotation again, then the swimmer technique and phantom wiggling for 3 to 5 seconds each; then he once again does rotation, swimming, and phantom wiggling for 3 to 5 seconds each; on the fourth cycle he begins to do rotation and it unexpectedly starts working – the feeling of rotation arises; the practitionerkeeps with this technique, and spins as hard as he can and separates from his body right then and there using the sensation of rotation: he then runs to the mirror, all the while actively palpating and scrutinizing everything around him from a close distance, which intensifies his sensations; having already looked in the mirror, the practitioner employs the translocation technique and finds himself on Mars, but he is unexpectedly returned to the body; the practitioner then immediately tries to leave his body again, but is unable to; he falls back asleep with the clear intention of repeating the attempt upon the next awakening and staying longer on Mars; and so on.
Just repeat the above using the techniques that come most naturally to you, and you’ll open yourself up to a whole new universe of lucid dreanming and out-of-body experience!
Lucid dreaming. Best techniques
If you take 20 to 30 minutes out of your day to simply train the techniques and the procedure, the method will be remembered and work better. This will substantially increase the success of attempts upon awakening.
Dream consciousness is also considered to be a phase experience. If you suddenly realize that you’re dreaming while asleep, then that’s already the phase! You should therefore proceed to implement your plan of action and stabilize the state. If dream consciousness does arise, it would be a side effect of doing technique cycles upon awakenings. This side effect is quite common – always be ready for it.
Step 5: After Attempts to Induce Lucid Dreams and OBEs
How to lucid dream tonight: the easiest technique
Fall back asleep if you can after each attempt (whether successful or not) in order to make another attempt to obtain lucid dreams upon your next awakening. That way you’ll not only be able to have a lucid dream in one day, but also to get it several times on the very first day!
Interesting Fact!
At a School of Out-of-Body Travel seminar, a novice was able to leave his body for the first time in his life in 6 of 8 attempts upon awakening the very first morning.
Even the most unsuccessful attempt should last no longer than a minute. If nothing happens over that period of time, it’s much more effective to fall asleep and catch the next awakening, as opposed to stubbornly trying to squeeze results out of the current attempt.
Plan of Action in Lucid Dreams and Out-of-Body experience
How to lucid dream tonight: the easiest technique
Before diving in a lucid dream, you should clearly outline what you are going to do there immediately after separation. This will increase both the quality of the experience and the likelihood of it occurring. Below is a list of the most interesting (if not the most straightforward) phase activities for novices (choose no more than 2 to 3 activities and remember them well):
Look in a mirror (a must for the first lucid dream!)
Eat or drink something you like
Visit any tourist attraction
Fly over the Earth
Fly throughout the Universe
Fly to neighbors, friends, and family
Meet a lover
Meet a deceased relative
Meet any celebrity
Take medicine for treatment
Obtain information from lucid dreaming objects
Travel to the past or the future
Walk through a wall
Transmutate into an animal
Drive a sports car
Ride a motorcycle
Breathe underwater
Put your hand inside your body
Feel vibrations
Inhabit two bodies at once
Inhabit another person’s body
Move and set fire to objects just by looking at them
Drink liquor
Make love and reach orgasm
For your first lucid dream/OBE, be sure to set yourself the goal of making it to a mirror and looking at your reflection. You should specifically program yourself to do this activity, as it will substantially facilitate your first steps in conquering the phase. You may then complete other items on your plan of action and never return to the mirror again.
If your sensations in a lucid dream are dull (i.e. poor sight or numbed bodily sensations), try to touch everything around you actively and scrutinize the minute details of objects from up-close. This will allow you to have a more realistic experience. The same activities should be performed in order to maintain the phase when the first symptoms of a return to the body occur (for example, when everything becomes dim).
Returning to the body is something you needn’t worry about. The state will not last more than several minutes in any case, especially for novices who are little-acquainted with techniques for maintaining lucid dreams.
Didn’t Work? How to Find Mistakes in Lucid Dreaming Techniques?
How to lucid dream tonight: the easiest technique
Set yourself this goal: make 5 to 10 attempts to have lucid dreams upon awakening. This procedure, when followed correctly, is sufficient for 50 to 80 percent of novices to get their first results. Turn back to this section if you run into a problem, as it describes the mistakes encountered in 99% (!) of unsuccessful attempts.
Never try these techniques every day, otherwise the success rate of your attempts will drop drastically! Spend no more than 2 to 3 days of the week on it, preferably only on days off. If you don’t have an opportunity to sleep in long and with interruption, then don’t forget that cycles of indirect techniques can also be used after any other awakening – in the middle of the night for example, or better yet, during a midday nap. What’s most important is to establish the clear intention of trying them before falling asleep.
Despite the simplicity of these techniques, novices stubbornly deviate from the clear instructions, following them in their own way or only half-way. Remember what’s most important beforehand: the more carefully and literally you follow the instructions for how to have a lucid dream tonight, the better your chances. Ninety percent will obtain results within one to three awakenings if they do everything correctly from the beginning.
Interesting Fact!
At School of Out-of-Body Travel seminars, the main task consists not in explaining the proper procedure, but merely in getting participants to follow it to-the-letter. Even if that goal is only half-way accomplished, success is inevitable.
Typical mistakes when performing indirect techniques include:
– Lack of an attempt to separate
Forgetting to simply try to separate immediately after awakening before cycling techniques, even though this may lead to up to 50% of all experiences. Exception: awakening to movement, after which one may immediately proceed to the techniques.
– Lack of aggression
A desire to get a technique to work no matter what and really get into it is the main criterion for success in employing the indirect technique procedure. Meanwhile, determination should not be superficial, but intensely focused on the actions to be completed. Lack of determination can also manifest itself in passively falling asleep during an attempt.
– Fewer than 4 cycles
No matter what happens and no matter what thoughts occur, you should perform no less than 4 cycles of techniques, assuming none have worked so far. Not following this simple rule will scuttle more than half of your opportunities to induce lucid dreams.
– Unnecessary Change of Technique
Despite the clear instructions given, novices will stubbornly switch techniques after 3 to 5 seconds, even when a technique has started working in one way or another. This is a serious error. If a technique has started working – however so slightly – you need to keep with it and try to intensify it in any way possible.
– Unnecessary Continuation of a Technique
If a technique hasn’t begun working in the least after 3 to 5 seconds, it should be changed for another. The point of cycling is to quickly alternate between techniques until one of them starts working.
– Forgetting to Separate
When any technique starts working upon awakening – no matter to what degree – the practitioner is nearly always already in the phase, and is simply lying on his body while in it. That’s why you should always try to separate immediately upon there being stable signs that a technique is working. If that doesn’t work out, then you need to return to intensifying the technique and try to separate again. If you don’t use the first seconds of a technique working, then the phase usually ends quite quickly and the necessary state goes away. Don’t lie in your body while in a lucid dream!
– Excessive Analysis
If you analyze what’s going on when cycling through techniques upon awakening, then you are not concentrated on the techniques themselves and are sidetracking yourself. This will cause you to miss nearly all chances of obtaining results. The desire to experience the technique working should fully consume you, leaving no place in the mind for analysis or contemplation.
– Excessively Alert Awakening (no Attempt or a Sluggish One)
Due to the perception of an excessively alert awakening (which will be not actually be alert, but only seem to be from 70 to 90% of the time) the practitioner will either forgo trying anything, or will make attempts quite unassuredly, which is equivalent to not trying at all. You ought to follow the instructions automatically, and not pay attention to such perceptions upon awakening.
– Attempting for Longer than a Minute
If no result is obtained after one minute of cycling, then your odds of success will be much greater if you go back to sleep right away and catch the next awakening in order to make a new attempt, as opposed to stubbornly trying to continue on with the techniques.
– Incomplete Separation
When attempting to separate, sometimes it doesn’t come easily or completely. Sluggishness, stuck body parts, and being stuck in two bodies at once are some things that may occur. Never give up under any circumstances and do not stop separating if this happens. Full separation will occur if you counteract such problems with all your strength.
– Not Recognizing Lucid Dreams
Practitioners often experience lucid dreams but then return back to the body because they feel that what occurred is not what they had expected. For example, when observing images they are often pulled into the scenery, or they are spontaneously thrown into another world when rotating. Practitioners often think that they have to experience the feeling of separation itself, which is why they might return back to their bodies in order to obtain it. The same applies to becoming conscious while dreaming, as the practitioner is already in the phase and it only remains to deepen and implement his plan of action.
– Awakening to Movement (no Attempt or a Sluggish One)
Awakening without moving is desirable, but not mandatory. There’s no sense in forgoing most opportunities by waiting for the right awakening. You must take advantage of every awakening that you can.
– Wasting the First Seconds
Try to develop the habit of immediately and reflexively proceeding to the techniques upon awakening, without losing a second. The more time that elapses between awakening and the attempt itself, the lower the odds of success. It’s best to learn to catch not so much the very second of awakening, but rather the transitional moment when “surfacing” from sleep. Separation is almost always successful during that transitional moment.
– Use of a Single Technique
Cycling indirect techniques upon awakening is a universal method that can work for anybody provided they alternate several techniques. Completely different methods may work over different attempts. That’s why using only a single technique upon awakening instead of cycling through at least two leads to substantially lowered odds of inducing lucid dreams.
– False Physical Movement
Sometimes separation is so indistinguishable from ordinary physical movement that novices are unable to believe their own success. They perceive separation as a physical movement and then disappointedly lie back down into their body. In such cases, one ought to carefully evaluate the situation and possibly perform reality checks.
The Four Principles of Success
How to lucid dream tonight: the easiest technique
Now you know how to have a lucid dream tonight, but the next tips will increase your success rate a lot:
Do It No Matter What. When performing lucid dreaming techniques, put your all into them and concentrate on them as if they were your life’s goal and mission. Chomp at the bit to leave your body.
Be Aggressive. Put all of your enthusiasm and desire into the techniques. The desire to get the techniques to work should be coupled with full aggression in achieving that result.
Be Self-Assured. During attempts to get a lucid dream, be as sure as possible of the results. When making attempts, lack of assuredness in yourself and the results will substantially lower your probability of lucid dreaming entrance. Nearly all phase entrances are accompanied by self-assured thought like “I’m going to do it now”, while unsuccessful attempts involve thinking “I guess I’ll try, but I doubt it’ll work”.
Do it Robotically. Don’t think about anything when completing the technique procedure. You already have the instructions. Just carry them out, not matter what things may seem to you or what thoughts enter your mind. Robotically is also understood to mean exactly. The indirect technique procedure has been honed by work with thousands of practitioners all over the world, neglecting any detail isn’t worth it. Something critical that was also said by a famous out of body experience teacher is that separation for an out of body experience has to be initiated by saying out loud or in your mind door now! or roll now!
