saltcube.com - How to Lucid Dream

It's been over a month now since I began my journey of astral projection.  Then the night before last I was browsing meditation tutorials on youtube and "by chance" came across a preview of the videos offered on saltcube.com for lucid dreaming / OBE

The videos cost $19 dollars so I figured "what the hell" and went ahead and bought them. I watched part one this morning and I must admit, this looks VERY promising. Matt actually presents the entire process scientifically and seemingly removes the guess work from achieving this higher state of consciousness. I am very anxious to try out these new techniques.

He basically suggests that the body speaks to the mind with certain signals throughout the day and night essentially performing checks to make sure that the mind is not asleep. Once we learn what these signals are and to recognize them we can "trick" the body into thinking the mind is asleep and the body will simply shut down while the mind continues to be conscious.

The one thing I found odd about the videos was the fact that Matt seemed (may not be true) to believe that none of this was anything more than just a dream. I thought that this was a bit shallow but then I thought some more. It dawned on me that perhaps it was my definition of dream that was throwing me off. I was not considering the possibility that waking life itself is just a different state of awareness, just a dream that's tuned into the physical part of the universe.

The more I research this subject the more I realize that the physical brain itself is fundamentally just energy and nothing more. This means that when we experience an OBE or a lucid dream it's just a shift in our awareness into a different energy state, the same energy that our physical brain shares but is not aware of. Therefor when we project it is indeed just a dream which is created by our physical brains just like Matt explains, and so is our waking life.

I will try these new techniques that Matt has so clearly explained and I am 99% sure I am going to see an explosion of OBEs.

Good luck everyone and I hope I am able to help you achieve the same goal as mine. I've added a link to saltcude. com on the left.

Good luck DB. I really liked the content of those videos as well. I may have to go back to them soon because I didn't really give them a fair amount of time.
