beyond concurrent control

“Looking at yourself in the mirror isn’t exactly a study of life”
Lauren Bacall

No, but it might be a start for helping us move beyond concurrent control into lucid consciousness. Let’s practice again, using another one of the experiments from Ms. Levitan’s and Mr. LaBerge’s Testing the Limits of Dream Control: The Light & Mirror Experiment.

TODAY’S CREATIVITY CHALLENGE:

Today, observe your reflection in a mirror. Notice the details of your face without judgment! You are a scientist. You are an observer. Touch your face with your hand. Touch your hair. Watch your reflection closely. Before you go to sleep, visualize your reflection. Try to remember the details of your hand movements and facial expressions. As you drift to sleep, tell yourself TONIGHT I WILL SEE MYSELF IN A MIRROR IN MY DREAMS.

As you dream, see yourself rise out of bed and find the mirror. See yourself reflected in it. Now, make your hands move over your face and hair. Tell yourself that this is a dream and you are now lucid. Try to walk through the mirror to see what is on the other side.

When you wake up, make sure to record your experiences in your journal.
