Is anyone else doing sleep learning/meditation? I have a Bluetooth sleep mask and for about a year , not every night but frequently, I listen to several hours of voice-over meditation tracks that I make myself. I've noticed that this is sometimes showing up in my dreams. Anybody else doing this?
I replied to this earlier, but I must not have posted it correctly :icon_frown:
I have done some lucid dreaming training where I imprinted an intention just as I drifted off to sleep. Learning to walk the line between twilight and REM sleep is the key to dream control. Other than that, I have done some learning with theta, which is good for memorization and stuff. Anything that requires any mental effort will take you out of theta.
I've had the affirmations leak into my dreams, once or twice cueing a lucid interlude. As I've gotten older lucidity seems to be much harder to achieve.
Melatonin supplements. As we get older, we produce less of the stuff ourselves (like everything else😁). Theta AVS sessions, as you drift off, hold onto either the lights or the sound like a handrail. Plant an intention, and slip into dreamland. Use the handrail to pull yourself back. Drift off again. Pretty soon you will get the hang of it and you can do it without AVS.Quote:

I use a Bluetooth sleepmask and sleep on my side. So I've only got audio entrainment. I've been experimenting with slow-beat shamanic-type drumming as I drift off. Aside from dreaming, sleep-learning with NLP affirmations has really helped me with dissolving PTSD triggers and associated anxiety.
Try putting the glasses on an adjacent pillow or nightstand as you lay on your side. In a dark room, it is more than bright enough to evoke a response, and may even be kinder and gentler as to not disturb sleep. Have you tried to create an EMDR session to help reprocess traumatic memories?
I do EMDR (to the best of my understanding) as part of meditation. It does seem to have helped me. Interesting, I'll have to try that trick with the glasses.
