Wake Induced Lucid Dreaming

As you know from our previous encounters, I'm not really hip on all the hindu lingo.

what do you mean by kundalini awakening?

it's happening to a lot of people, especially amongst the psychedelic, and yogic communities.
when it started happening to me I was rather insane, and it took me a few years to barely even figure it out. I was even so sick to my stomach from something and I was nauseated all the time...I could barely move for a few months, but I had to. It was terrible and menacing and I was waking up and I had to radically reform my entire life...it was rather dramatic...but the process is unique for everybody...
I learned about kundalini yoga and it made so much sense to me, so I've been studying it for a while.
It's a very interesting explanation into the phenomenon of divinity.

 

I glanced at that article and it looks really helpful, I'll definatly read it when I have more time.


But I TOTALLY know what you mean about menacing and dramatic. This is so hard....sometimes I feel like I've totally gone insane. This is what it truly is like to pave your own way in life, this is raw experience and no one can really tell you what to expect or how to handle it. It's testing me, but I didn't know there were other people out there experiencing this, I guess it's sort of nice to know that I'm not alone.

 

wow a lot of these are applying to me but this one..

- Numbness or pain in the limbs (particularly the left foot and leg)

..really caught me off guard. This happens almost every time I wake up. My entire leg will be completely numb, and it borders on painful just to move it. So strange that they would list something so specific, I had no clue why this was happening.

 

It's the way kundalini flows...she's recalibrating your existence

I never experienced all of those things, but definitely some.

 

Beware...there is a lot of BS on the net...
you have to weed the good stuff out from the bad.
After a few years, though one of my clients, I met a guru who is the disciple of the guru who wrote autobiography of a yogi. It's all very interesting the way it falls into place.
just meditate, you are your own guru.

 

this one explains so much too...

- Heat, strange activity, and/or blissful sensations in the head, particularly in the crown area.

...this is the one that frightened me the most. I always thought there was something physically wrong with my brain or something.


EDIT....yeah I definatly don't experience all of them lol. I'm just pointing out the ones that had me concerned for my own health and well being.

 

Thank you very much for bringing this to my attention.

 

of course, that's why I'm here.

 

Okay, this is irritating, I slept for around 6 hours or less, and lied in bed for quite some time but could never get there. I actually didn't feel how I usually felt when I wake up, so could this have affected it?

When I've done it before, it seemed like I could EASILY feel myself slip into it. Are there some days when your REM patterns just aren't in sync with this method? Is it sometimes hit or miss?

Damn, I'll give it a shot tomorrow.

 

sometimes the brain is stubborn and wants to remain awake.

 

That used to happen to me often. I did not like the feeling at all, and would try to stay up all the time just to avoid it. I'm pretty anti medication for myself....but I finally went and got really strong sleeping pills. I really miss regular dreams, but at least I can sleep now. I think it's very interesting to see that reaching that place is someone elses goal.
eace:

 

So you would lucid dream every morning? That would get kinda irritating, I suppose. However, instead of medication you should have just flown cars through beautiful rainbow skies every morning

 

sleep paralysis happens to me from time to time, ever since i was a child. its usually a very tense, frightening experience. the first time it happened i felt something pushing down on my body, and thought my dad was fucking with me. other times i've perceived these black figures in the shape of bodies surrounding me. everytime i try and resist, and i force myself to snap out of it with my mental will. and there have definetly been when i felt that i was about to leave my body. this summer it happened (first time in a while) and i decided to let it happen for much longer, and it was as if i saw the fabric of space time bending in the far corner, and it got more intense so like always i 'snapped my self out of it. after reading this it seems that i should not resist it next time, and take advantage of my effortless sleep paralysis and see how far i can explore.

 

You are precisely right...
welcome to the forums.

Don't be afraid of the spirits...
emanate love, not fear.
I can't stress how important it is to have control over these emotions when working in these realms.
You'll see...

keep us posted. glad you found us.

 

my last experience inspired a poem:

Tempus Incognito

Future past and present
One in the same
Time's slowing down
As I experience the insane
Perceiving infinity
In its majestic gleam
Is more than it seems

Losing sight of reality
Uncovering truth
In its raw glory
Revealing an endless story
Of things yet to pass
Before our time

Constantly starting at every point
Joining every stream
Yet escaping all
Guided into the void
Where secrets lie
Ripples in the sky

Space still expanding
The edge coming near
Beyond my perceptions
Which i hold so dear
Far out of reach
Yet directly within my grasp
Just a little longer
Is all the i ask

 

very nice!

 

Before I learned how to control the paralysis I saw those giant dark shadow-people you spoke of

Scared the shit out of me, but I found it to be quite interesting. I brought it up in my psych class, but the teacher was terrible at explaining it, and didn't know much about it anyways.

I'm glad I finally got an answer, after all this time! I even once searched on google for "how to have lucid dreams" and NOTHING came up about WILDs

Whatever, I'm just glad I found an answer, and a way to have lots of fun.

 

whoa, very insightful.

you're a great lyricist, especially for a 17 year old

 

this is a thread of magic.
