Hello,
I'm Rhys Jones,
And welcome to this Lucid Dream Incubation Recording.
What follows is a lucid dreaming story,
Influenced by one of my own lucid dreams.
It can either be listened to for fun,
Or with the intent to sow seeds for a lucid dream later on in the night.
If you're listening just for fun,
Then you are,
Of course,
Free to put this on at any time during the day or night.
However,
If you decide to listen with the intent to incubate a lucid dream,
Then we recommend listening to it either just before getting into bed,
Or whilst falling to sleep.
So I'll now give you a moment to decide how you want to proceed.
If you decide to put this on whilst you're falling to sleep,
Then use this time now to turn off your lights,
Draw your curtains,
Get into bed,
And do whatever else you need in order to feel fully settled.
And when my voice returns in a moment,
The lucid dream incubation will begin.
You find yourself standing on the edge of an infinite abyss,
Surrounded by a swirling mist.
You're lucid,
Have been from the start,
And yet,
Even though your mind feels sharp,
The environment itself feels elusive,
Slipping through your grasp.
Like grains of sand,
Your surroundings are obscure,
Distant,
Nebulous,
And your attempts to move around them are met with resistance,
Like walking through deep water.
Noticing this then,
You take a moment of self-reflection,
And ponder on what exactly is holding you back,
Determined,
You take a deep breath in,
And steady your thoughts.
I'm lucid dreaming,
You think,
I'm in my own little world now,
I have influence here.
Remember that,
And so,
As you assert yourself in your role as active dreamer,
The mist around you begins to dissipate,
Slowly at first,
All of a sudden,
Revealing a beautiful landscape in its place,
Stretching as far as your eyes can see,
You have arrived.
Your lucidity is now ablaze,
Just like the brilliant sun you now feel on your skin,
Lucidity mixed with confidence,
Topped off with a dash of inspiration,
You feel a presence here,
Not just your own presence,
But something more,
Someone else's presence,
The experience feels meaningful somehow,
More meaningful than usual,
Transcendent,
One could say,
The presence of something bigger is walking beside you,
This profound awareness sparks a newfound power within you,
You are merging with the presence you felt previously,
In this merging,
You decide to experiment,
Cautiously,
You lift up your hands,
Palms outstretched,
Directed towards the horizon,
And the scenery responds,
Trees swaying in rhythmic dance,
Mountains shifting like colossal sculptures,
The dream,
It bows to your will,
And you revel in the exhilaration of the influence exerted,
Now,
With your power found,
You explore,
Venturing deeper into this dream world,
Encountering strange environments and peculiar dream characters as you go,
Each one a fragment of you,
Your awareness,
Your consciousness writ large,
Some greet you with a friendly smile,
Whilst others greet you warily,
Seeming to embody some subconscious fear,
With each dream character you meet,
You engage in conversation,
Meaningful conversation,
Reshaping the narrative,
To your will,
It's at this point,
You take flight,
Kicking off the ground and shooting into the sky,
At first,
Your eyes remain solely upwards,
But once you reach a cruising altitude,
You look down and observe what's back on the ground,
From this new vantage point,
You see a whole new world,
Strange plants,
Rolling hills,
A group of mythical creatures,
Gathered around a fire,
How strange,
You think,
And so you blink,
Changing the look of each creature,
Each time you do,
Pushing the boundaries of your imagination to new heights,
It's quite the thrill,
You think,
To be inside a world entirely your own,
And yet,
Somehow,
Foreign,
As the dream progresses,
You discover that true LD mastery lies not only in shaping the external environment,
But in plumbing the depths of your own psyche,
Realizing this,
You go forth,
Confronting unresolved emotions,
And facing challenges that mirror your waking fears,
Courageously,
You navigate these intricacies,
Unraveling the mysteries hidden within the fabric of the dream world,
And in so doing,
Bolstering your mind,
Body,
And spirit,
With each hurdle overcome,
The dream transforms into something quite unique,
And ultimately,
Something truly exquisite,
A masterpiece,
If you will,
A masterpiece created by your own hand,
The influence you searched for at the beginning of the dream,
Now becomes second nature to you,
The environment responding at every turn,
Not always in perfect concordance,
But always dancing,
And always listening,
Always present,
And so,
You now stand at the pinnacle of your dream world,
Both symbolically,
And literally,
You're looming over the environment at the peak of a mountaintop,
A lucid dreamer crowned,
A lucid dreamer,
With landscapes conquered,
And inner recesses of consciousness unraveled,
Oh my,
What a journey I've been on,
You think,
A chill running down your spine,
As you realize how many more adventures await you in your future,
You now sense the dream nearing its end,
Boundaries dissolve,
Colors fade,
And there you are,
Your consciousness,
In empty space,
Lingering in the surreal beauty of your own mind,
Grateful for the journey of self-discovery that unfolded here tonight,
And here you stay,
Peacefully,
With nothing particular in mind,
Just stillness,
You're in the space between dreams now,
The true emptiness of pure consciousness,
With a sense of fulfillment,
You let go,
Everything,
To fade away,
If you listened to this lucid dreaming story just for fun,
I hope you enjoyed it,
And if you listened for induction purposes,
Then I hope this parting message now finds you,
Relaxed and drifting,
Your lucid dreaming seeds have been sown,
Your mind has been primed,
And you are,
Ready for sleep,
And so with that,
I draw this session to a close,
Remember,
You are,
A lucid dreamer,
Never forget it,
Happy dreaming.
