The Brain’s Secret to sleeping like a log
Sleep researchers from Harvard Medical School performed a slightly torturous experiment on 12 healthy volunteers. On their first night at the sleep lab, the subjects’ brain waves were monitored via electroencephalography (EEG), but they were otherwise left in peace. That night, the researchers measured one particular sleep phenomenon: the brief bursts of high-frequency waves known as “sleep spindles.” On the following two nights, the researchers did their best to replicate a really irritating night’s sleep.
OBE / Lucidly
Monday 24.11.09
State – OBE
Tips ? Sussex blue cheese, moving home and an early night in bed
Time - between 11.15pm and 11.45 before onset of whole night’s sleep
In the last few weeks Ive had 3 or 4 OBE’s, at first I was not sure what I was experiencing as sleep paralysis was the common link. Next I had a terrifying idea I was visited by supernatural beings, as magnetic energies flowed through me like a dancing wind and pulled or pushed me ( as a poltergeist may? )
The sensations are hard to describe as they feel so real, not dream like, as if finally i have been visited by a ghost and my DNA and mind are rattled !
Now I look forward to these physics defying Altered states of consciousness, I am aware that paralysis and sensations of a sucubus or entities and energy are out of body signifiers, and I want to explore. Last night on the 24th November I was in bed hoping for early night as i would be moving home the next morning… as i drifted off, i became aware of my head. It was lower than usual, as if I was resting my chin on a table surface ( this is the only part that was like a dream, at this point i became aware I was dreaming ) so it was a lucid dream? I tested it by pushing my face through the dark wall ahead of me – amazingly it started to slip through like putting your face underwater…. but different. My head and whole being started to vibrate,,,3 -4times per second incessantyly as I continued to slip inwards and downwards into this dark space… a little shocked I told myself to go with it… surely it could not be more scary than when I first tried DMT? I made the effort to breathe slowly,, i would like to monitor this in my sleep or OBE states. as i strongly believe breathing is intrinsic in my passages within ASC and OBE.
After just a few minutes of dark, sucking, dropping and vibrational attractions, i emerged… pleased and soporific,,, i paused for a short while contemplating how strong and real this has been… and how unlike a dream or lucid dream, there was no chance of forgetting this if i didnt immediately write it down like we were taught to dream journal ( as those details from within sleep are so fleeting )…. this
OBE
is
real

Tibetan Dream Yoga
Tibetan dream yoga is very closely linked with the Tibetan Buddhist system and culture, says Katz. “You use specific visualizations, mantras associated with various deities, and practices tied in with the Tibetan tradition. I’ve talked with enough Tibetan lamas to know that, from their perspective, you don’t just go out and try to be lucid in your dreams unless you’re using that as part of your spiritual practice. But I don’t think they appreciate how much value there is in just having an enlivening experience or an intensely creative experience [through lucid dreaming]-how much that is worth in our very institutionalized world.”
