Transcript

In a few moments,

You will begin to explore the dimension of lucid dreaming,

A part of your mind that allows freedom where perhaps your body inhibits imagination and experiences are but a dream.

To lucid dream is to feel,

See,

Hear and have participation within a scene that you vision in your mind,

Without any limit of time,

Space or matter.

Set aside any distractions in this moment and begin settling down for the night by being present in self study and observation.

At times the experience of lucid dreaming may seem unfamiliar,

But by staying grounded when you sense there is a change,

You can wake up inside your dream calmly.

Sitting down now,

Listen to the words that you hear in a comfortable position.

This induction is told in a story form,

So let your imagination be free as you absorb yourself within the experience.

It's now time to lucid dream.

Observe the quietness of your surroundings and the feeling of having no pressure to do anything.

This is an unobtrusive and peaceful time,

Perfect for letting go of your thoughts.

With your body still,

Sense the feeling of the room.

Be aware of everything around you,

Locating every object in your mind and remembering it.

See the layout of the room behind your eyelids in your memory.

Feel the textures of those objects as you recall each surface with your fingertips.

Any ambient sounds you hear are observed and remembered.

Now you have a good idea of what is real,

This is your baseline if anything has changed.

As you progress,

Certain objects may change shape or look distorted.

You now know how to spot things that look out of place and when you do,

You will calmly begin to enjoy the experience.

As you observe,

Feel the temperature of the air drop a couple of degrees.

As the air cools,

You notice your shoulders descend slightly as you begin to let go.

Your breathing slows down,

Now easier from inhaling the cooler air inside the room.

Feeling more steadily on each peace filled deepened breath.

Relaxing more,

Your chest loosens,

Willingly accepting the easy to breathe oxygen.

You may now if you wish close your eyes,

If not,

Gaze past a spot on a ceiling or wall as you listen further.

You are quite safe,

You may move your body and have free will to do so.

Getting more comfortable now as your spine aligns into the perfect relaxed pose for the night.

The realisation that there are no troubles here calms your every thought now as you let go a little deeper.

At this moment in time,

It may feel like you are unsure whether your eyes are open or closed.

You can check just by blinking.

As your body cools,

It matters not what position your eyelids are in,

As you breathe out awareness and inhale the state of your inner imagination.

Every muscle lowering down,

Your hips,

Legs and ankles become as relaxed as can be,

Loosening your feet and toes.

Clearing out your mind with each easy exhalation,

Your shoulders being the pivot of relaxation,

Release your arms and neck into the most blissful loosening.

With your head and arms drifting downwards as you let go more,

You become entirely present in this moment.

Inside,

You observe quietly,

Silently watching as your imagination unfolds.

Perhaps you are gazing into that area that you have chosen,

Or your eyes are closed.

Either way,

You begin to feel a vibrational sensation in your toes and fingertips,

Subtle,

Safe and soothing.

As your mind drifts further and your state of awareness shifts to a new dimension,

You start to feel,

Hear and possibly see the portal of sleep emerging.

In the space where you fix your gaze,

The opening of the fifth dimension slowly fades in.

Hearing it first,

The satisfying crackles and humming of another world can be noticed.

Now seeing a dim light as if a torch were on the other side of the area that you observed,

You calmly look on as it gets slowly brighter.

A small circular movement of sparkles,

Light,

Energy and patterns can be seen.

As the portal slowly revolves around,

It widens,

Revealing another place behind its dim light,

A doorway to dreams or a parallel universe.

With the portal fully open now,

Revolving around in a static position,

You let every muscle relax as you slowly float up and towards it.

The weight of any stress or tension is left behind in your physical body down below.

Your chest loosens as your shoulders completely let go,

Every breath deeper and more calm than the last.

As you exhale,

You get a sense of feeling lighter,

Floating more freely up and towards the dim light.

Looking at your now lucid body,

You see the light through your fingers,

Feeling a warmth as you drift closer to the portal.

Having no thought about anything else in this moment,

You allow yourself to drift into the light,

Your head now peering through the portal,

Observing a waft of warm air as each part of you passes through.

Your face now relaxed as relaxed can be,

Every muscle soft,

Loose and resting.

As your neck enters this fifth dimension,

Your shoulders release any tension and your arms now dangle.

Feeling safe in this silent experience,

Your abdomen becomes quiet,

Dispersing any intrepidation that you may have for tonight's journey.

With your spine aligned to the perfect position of comfort,

Your hips,

Pelvis and legs unfurl any tension.

Floating through the portal,

Your ankles,

Feet and toes tingle into a most relaxed position.

Your mind now silent as you completely enter the other side.

As your lucid eyes adjust and your awareness shifts once more to this dimension,

You see a most beautiful beach lit by the light of a full moon.

You can clearly see all around as the moon glows its blue haze on the edge of each surface.

Floating now above the sand,

You listen for each new wave that spills gently ashore,

And see the white wash tinkle in the moonlight as it rolls out onto the fine grains of sand.

There is but a slight breeze,

Only felt from floating,

You feel it on your face which relaxes your brow,

Cheeks and mouth.

Drifting along the beach,

The aqua smell of salt water fills your nose,

Refreshing every part of you as the air is absorbed by your body.

Quiet,

Tranquil,

This place is truly a sanctuary of peacefulness.

Feeling quite safe,

You set down on the sand.

The soles of your feet plant themselves onto the warm granular beads and instantly help you in being grounded.

As you slowly begin to walk,

You feel the sand spread out from under your feet,

Each footstep having its own relaxing white noise sound.

Now feeling warmer from the lack of breeze you felt whilst floating,

Everything seems a little quieter and more silent.

Check in with yourself in this moment by raising your lucid hand in front of your face,

Can you notice anything different?

Feeling still right now,

Observe this beach and all its surroundings.

Being patient with yourself,

Remain calm by being present,

Close your eyes if that helps.

Feel the atmosphere of this wonderful space of freedom.

Sense where everything is in relation to you,

Touch the sand with your fingertips if you want to.

Every texture,

Sight,

Sound,

Smell and feeling you have is from being here.

You may notice that vibration within your body once more,

Possibly an urge to float or begin seeing your imagination open up a little more.

Go with it,

Do whatever you feel is right for you in this moment.

Asking yourself questions in your mind can help you remember and also help you to lucid dream.

Are there any trees,

Foliage or buildings around you?

Now getting a sense of your mind state,

Observe your own body.

Take yourself to your breath,

Feel each inhalation of fresh new oxygen and get relief in every chest deflating exhalation.

Perhaps you now move in slow motion as you look around.

Close your eyes for a moment to fully appreciate what you experience.

Sharing your observations to your lucid self,

Be aware.

As a softness of loosened muscles washes your whole body,

You now feel part of this place as if you are really here.

Keeping your head still,

Slowly open your eyes and look around.

As you observe everything,

You feel different,

Perhaps awake inside your own dream.

You may now move or float however you wish,

Exploring this safe space of discovery.

Allow your minds imagination and visualisation to create whatever you desire.

From this moment,

The scene may change,

Depending on where your dream thoughts and images take you.

This part of the exploration is personal to you.

Go deeper into your own dream.

Be calm as you explore in any direction.

Notice the scene you see beginning to change.

Listen on,

Can you hear anything?

What would you like to dream about?

You have free will to go anywhere you desire.

Can you still hear the waves?

Where is your mind taking you?

You are safe,

Relaxed and observing yourself and your surroundings.

Bring your lucid hands into view,

Moving them freely.

Look around consciously,

What do you now see?

Has anything changed?

Can you interact with any objects?

You are in control.

Do you see anyone else?

Is there a scent that your nose can smell?

Are there any textured surfaces that you can touch?

Can you move anything with your lucid body?

Feel your own breath within the dream.

Be relaxed in your observations.

Take your time to become aware of your lucid body,

There is no rush.

Settle every emotion,

Feeling and sensation.

Can you interact with anything?

Try to move an object that you see.

Is it daytime or nighttime?

Can you see yourself?

See every detail of the environment inside your dream.

You are awake inside your dream.

Move your lucid body in any way you want to.

You have free will.

Are you floating,

Flying,

Walking or running?

What is the atmosphere of this dream?

Can you change your dream?

Now back to studying yourself,

You are safe.

Wherever you are in your dream,

You see and hear the crackles and dim light of the portal that leads back to where you first started.

Slowly floating up once again,

Edging closer to the doorway out of your dream,

You silently observe your surroundings.

Hearing what you see and taking mental notes,

You begin to pass through the portal.

That vibrational sensation soothes your muscles as each part of you floats on past.

Your head loosened with the relaxed muscles of your neck,

Your shoulders letting go into a state of complete rest.

Your arms,

Wrists,

Hands and fingers become limp.

Through you go,

Relaxing into an immense bliss.

Each breath now becoming deeper than before as your chest loosens more.

Your spine gives up any awareness by positioning your back into a comfortable position.

Stillness,

Silence and calmness is felt within your abdomen.

As your hips,

Pelvis and legs drift through,

Your ankles,

Feet and toes lose all energy.

Your mind still aware of being lucid,

You watch and observe your place in relation to your physical body which lay asleep.

The portal closes and everything becomes silent once again.

Remembering from memory,

You recall the layout of your room.

Before floating down and back into your physical body,

Observe to see if anything looks different or has changed.

Take a moment to look around.

You are safe,

Relaxed and grounded in mind.

Can you see that anything has changed in this room?

Does anything look distorted or out of place?

Moving and moving freely.

Can you interact with anything there?

Do you have free will?

Is this the same room or somewhere else?

Is there anyone else with you?

Do you recognise anything or anyone here?

What time is it?

Is there a clock that you can see?

Is it daytime or night time?

You begin to feel tired,

Closing your eyes,

You and your lucid body float down and back into your physical self.

Now feeling heavy,

You begin to breathe deeper on every cycle in and out,

Every part of you relaxed as can be.

You are safely and contently asleep with the memory of what you have just experienced.

Every detail you noticed or observed is remembered by your mind.

Anything or anyone you met in your dream can be recalled at any time.

The environments and feeling of the places you visited are as vivid as can be.

It is now time to settle down even further.

Tell nothing to matter in this moment,

As this is your personal space and time.

Drift out now into the deepest of sleeps,

Allow your eyelids to close down for the night,

Allowing your mind and body to rejuvenate.

The sense of achievement you feel inside subconsciously rests every muscle,

Every breath and every slipping second into sleep.

Slowing down further,

The touch of any surface you lay upon or in becomes as soft as can be.

Your body heavy with contentedness,

Your mind clear to drift off like the moon slowly sliding across a night sky.

As you become heavier and heavier,

The stars that shine in your night sky are the memories of the dreams you dreamt and are to dream tonight.

Sinking deeper,

Deeper into sleep,

My words begin to fade as you feel a washing wave of relaxation allow each muscle to let go.

Through your feet,

They become cool,

Even feeling the space in between each toe,

Your soles softening,

Loosening your ankles.

Like a tingle of relief,

Your ankles are cupped by the blissfulness of this moment,

A cool sensation that works up your calves and shins.

Perhaps now sensing a tingling in your feet and ankles,

Your legs begin to unwind down further into the comfortable position you are resting in.

No more thinking for today,

Sleep is but a few moments away as your memory will serve you well for when you awake.

Now is but a time for sleep,

Deep sleep and peacefulness.

As that wave of relaxation cools your kneecaps,

Your legs let go even more,

Descending into stillness of acceptance.

Your thighs now bringing your hips,

Pelvis and spine into line.

You rest further and drift into that deep deep sleep.

With a clear mind of achievement,

Your shoulders and chest decline into a wonderful soothing posture,

An invitation to sleep deeper tonight.

Rest and recuperation is all you desire in this moment.

You can relax knowing that your experience of tonight will be even more vivid the next time you lucid dream.

As each breath deepens and your mind clears further,

Any outside noise begins to fade off.

Your neck loosens your head down into a heavy slumber with your eyelids closed tight for the night.

Allow your awareness to fade with each deepened breath.

Your muscles give up for today as you just let go.

Your face muscles untighten,

Unwind and droop into that sleepy state.

You are safe,

You have no reason to hold on to awareness.

Let go more with each exhalation.

Let your chest slump loose with every breath out.

Listen to your hypnotic breathing cycle.

The gentle and lengthy whooshes in are of complete comfort and the silent outward exhalations allow your sleep state to fill you with rest.

As your arms slide downwards,

Your wrists unlock to allow your hands the heaviness of sleep.

As each hand rests,

Your fingers unfurl into an automatic state of softness and peace.

Your face now resting,

Your eyelids heavy and your mind now clear,

You drift deeper and deeper into sleep.

Your toes expelling all energy,

Your feet now weighing down each ankle in comfort.

From the undisturbed heaviness of your legs sinking,

Your hips loosen.

That loose sensation can be felt in your abdomen,

Where everything becomes still,

Silent and very calm.

Every safe breath of clean life giving oxygen releases the grip of any awareness in your chest and shoulders.

With the decision of no more thought for today,

The decision of allowing your arms to feather down is an invite for your wrists to let go.

With each deep and satisfying breath,

Your wrists smooth out your hands and fingers.

From the tops of your arms to the top of your neck,

A cool wave of muscle unwinding tranquility lowers your head down to a deep,

Deep sleep.

You wish yourself good night,

Letting go completely by having the most restful night you can sleep.

Keep practicing, meditators! I have had a couple of lucid dreams! Very peaceful. …not sure how lucid I became but it was restful. I imagine it takes practice. (2024-I’m getting better at it!) I would like to know how to do it as I’ve had lucid dreams in the past but didn’t know it was something that you could create. Of course most things are. 2024… having lucid dreams!!!

The first time I listened to this, I fell asleep probably within 5 minutes. Second time, I listened to it all the way through while trying to get back to sleep. I think it excited my brain too much to try hard. I think the best way for me to fall asleep with this is to just listen, and not to try.
