Quote:I was wondering, have any of you used lucid dreaming to learn more about the afterlife? If so how does it help you, and how do you have lucid dream? I have seen on the Monroe Institue has hemi-sync program for lucid dreams. Do any of you have it, if so does it work??

briefly, yes it works. I've never used hemi sync but I'm sure it's helpful. I'm just persistent, is only reason I learned it or stumbled into it through sheer curiosity. I'm in agreement with Laurell here. just add my 2 cents. the dream landscape doesn't change much when you finally become lucid within it. generally, you become lucid when questioning yourself if this is real because something looks out of whack and u can say to yourself at that point, oh, I see, I'm dreaming. this gets interesting then as you can get some great subconscious information about yourself, maybe some relationship or problem you're working on consciously has a chance to show up here, a solution is presented perhaps. many inventions have been created this way by paying attention to the dream landscape and memorizing the symbols or conversations that took place.
Intentions set before sleep work well for me. if I intend to do a retrieval or visit a family member I can be successful if the intention is strong enough. if you continually discount the dreaming landscape by saying it is only a dream and not important, your subconscious tries to honor your belief or disbelief, by not giving you a dream as it's not important anyway, right? if on the other hand you start to use dreaming in a conscious and curious manner to explore yourself you are telling your subc. it's ok, it's important and you can make new discoveries and possibly even have the illusive obe experience where it feels you are in a more subtle body and floating or flying. it's a feeling of freedom when this occurs. Nothing can compare to this freedom from the restraints of our physical body and a knowing we are more than bodies. explore! it's your life. listen to your heart. follow your dreams, trust that guidance is available.
