Time Dilation Quote: "[Time dilation] has allowed me to perceive many years of dream content in a mere 2 hours of sleep. I have also had times in which I have slept for over 24 hours and dreamed for what felt like hundreds of years, to the point where I had forgotten many things from irl [=in real life]. I felt as if I could remain their indefinitely (or near indefinitely) but I always choose to come back for some reason or other. These days, since I tend to spend much more time in my dreams than the waking world, instead of keeping a dream journal I keep a sort of thisworld journal which I use to keep from forgetting important things irl. I write before bed and read upon waking to reintegrate myself into this world."- MyLynes, https://www.dreamviews.com/dream-control/101908-time-dilation-techniques-2.html (2nd page, 3rd post) I know of 2 ways to have more time in OBEs. Splitting your consciousness ( thus being able to have several OBEs at once) and actual time dilation. (OBEs include lucid dreams (you create the dream content, consciously or unconsciously) and astral projections (you are in an 'objective' environment like this physical universe or astral realms)) - 1. Splitting your consciousness in lucid dreams This should definitely be possible. In the second half of this post I quoted several people who have experienced it: - 2. Splitting your consciousness in Astral Projections " You have therefore, the possibility of not just experiencing here and there simultaneously, but also here and there and there and there and there; the only limit really being the inherent power of your own consciousness." John Kreiter, in his OBE book page 73 " Such journeys can also include the ability to experience life as a multidimensional gestalt of selves, each seperate and distinct. At this point the limits of the single ego-self are broken so that it is possible to experience a multitude of different identities existing within one body, each having its own ego identity and each fulfilling its purpose completely without disturbing, but actually uniting and empowering, the entirety of the gestalt that they are all part of" - John Kreiter, in his OBE book pages 181,182 I guess that both of the quotes refer to OBEs in general and not only to lucid dreams. " Inhabit two bodies at once" - Michael Raduga, book the Phase page 58. He writes that on what to do in the phase, so again I guess that he refers to OBEs in general and not only lucid dreams. - 3. Time Dilation in lucid dreams "The other main tech I use, is I have 1 of my bodies meditate in the hyperbolic time chamber from dbz. This is much harder to explain but is based mostly on visualization (using HUD clocks) and feeling which I doubt I can explain better than the ear muscle explanation. This body attempts to slow down (or speed up depending on perspective) perceived time for all of my dream bodies simultaneously." - MyLynes link: https://www.dreamviews.com/dream-control/101908-time-dilation-techniques-2.html (2nd page, 3rd post) " Since time in this inner Zone is measured in intensity, not in sequential movement through space, you could have a lifetime of experience in an hour of physical time." - John Kreiter, in his OBE book page 168. But that might not be actual time dilation but rather because doing many things in a short time (which is possible in dreams) makes it seem like much time passed, idk. "[...] So long periods spent in the mental body can strangely occur in the equivalent of mere minutes passed in the physical dimension." - Sandie Gustus, book Less Incomplete page 31. On mental projection. - 4. Time Dilation in Astral Projections I guess it is probably not possible to deliberately dilate time during astral projections because you are in an 'objective' world/realm. But time can naturally pass at a different rate: " [...] the relative rate at which time passes can be different [...] for the aliens you may visit" - David McCready, book Real Alien Worlds page 63. "[...] might perhaps decide to live an entire life in a wholly different realm as a being that is beyond the humanity that you left behind." - John Kreiter, in his OBE book page 181. I think he refers to OBEs in general. I think learning how to dilate time takes MUCH practice, otherwise more people would talk about it "Good luck with time dilation guys, from my experience it has mostly been simply a case of much practice and much trial and error." -MyLynes

RASA transmissions can enlighten you, it would be nice if there was an equally powerful transmission that activates your astral projection skill and makes you omnilucid. If that 10 step process activates your energy body then that goes into the right direction. Would be interesting how effective it is. Another similar thing might be this: https://danielscranton.com/downloads/light-language-for-activating-your-astral-body-inducing-astral-travel/ "I channeled this light language transmission of 5:55 to activate our light bodies and induce astral travel. I suggest listening to this one right before falling asleep. Being in a tired state is sure to help. This light language is infused with the intention, vibration, and galactic codes to activate your astral body and induce astral travel." I haven't tried it yet.

You mean "focusing on your toe" has no cause? Actually, you are doing that right now. You are your friend talking to you. Your friend is not a part of you, your friend is you, so you are literally talking to yourself

How does focusing on your toe happen? I would say it's a result of a feeling, emotion, thought or sensation. Watching a movie has a duality, the watcher and the watched. When this body pays attention to what is happening, then it seems like everything is unfolding by its own, and I am all that. When this body looks at a table, then am I the table or the one who is conscious of the table? I am not totally sure yet, it's subtle, but it feels like I am the table and there is no one who is conscious of the table. Being the table and being conscious of the table is the same. But I don't know whether that's true, I haven't read it somewhere, but it's like it currently seems. The way I make sense of it is this: Imagine a jellyfish. The jellyfish head is the Godhead and each tentacle is one indivdual self plus its peception bubble. The whole jellyfish is God. Whenever the jellyfish head (=Godhead) focuses on one tentacle (= being incarnated in a human body) it believes that it is that tentacle. When a tentacle 'awakens', the jellyfish head realizes that it is the whole jellyfish, but while it is still focusing on one tentacle, it perceives/experiences only that tentacle. If it wants to perceive/experience another tentacle, it needs to stop focusing on that tentacle (=physical death for that human body) and start focusing on another.

@Bryanbrax Thank you! I think the techniques of the book really are worth looking at. But I don't believe it is as easy as reading this book makes it seem. Her techniques are basically a combination of: many esoteric tricks, visualizations, the classical "waiting for sleep paralysis" approach, and help by guides. I have a hard time believing that by just following her instructions, an average person will project. I think it would take a lot of dedication. But I can't assess how helpful the help by the guides is. If it is as helpful as she says, then her techniques are indeed powerful and easy. I have some experience with the Explorer's Astral Projection technique which also involves the help of guides and I can confirm that this can be powerful. (When I have more experience I will write in more detail about it). These guides help you to remote view (and thus make you able to explore and telepathically interact with other worlds and aliens), which can probably turn to astral-projection-like eventually. This book, however, seems to indicate that they can even help get you into sleep paralysis and to the vibrations, thus a full-blown obe. The techniques seem to be a combination of the OBE visualization, Explorer's Astral Projection, and waiting for sleep paralysis techniques (plus some additions, which might make the crucial difference). That means the better you are with these techniques, the easier the techniques of this book will get. So I believe that they can be very effective, but it will be easier if you have at least some skills with the other techniques. And, if you learn the techniques of this book, the other techniques might get more easy. So it's all a bit synergizing, hopefully. I personally will stick with the other techniques for now, but will definitely include some of her techniques in the future. @Bryanbrax Have you tried the techniques of the book?

So you agree with: the more awake = the less selfish. That also means: even more awake = even less selfish. You can be 60% selfless and 40% selfish. Or you can be 95% selfless and 5% selfish. Depending on the depth of your awakening (generally speaking). Do you fully comprehend what 95% selfless and 5% selfish means? That means if you have the decison between going to cinema or using that time and money for a good cause, then you would not decide for the cinema, that means you would not go to cinema, watch tv, eat more than you need, go on holiday,... Basically behave like Ramana Maharshi, Jesus or Babaji perhaps behaved. I don't say that one should behave that way, nor that an enlightened person should behave that way, but that, the more awake you get, the more you naturally tend towards that direction.

@LfcCharlie4 In moments I am lost in the illusion (which is the large majority of the time) and act as though I were a seperate self, I tend to be more selfish. If there is additional work to do in my parent's household, I tend to stay away from it unless I am directly asked whether I want to do it. In moments I am conscious that I am the Self, then this body tends to want to help others even if that means discomfort for that particular body. Not because there is a "belief" that it should be like that, but because it feels like the most obvious and natural thing to do. As obvious as it is for a cat not to bite it's own tail. So in my direct experience, more conscious = less selfish @VeganAwake So that's basically the same as what I called influencing factors? Yes, I think that's the case. But in what way does no free will contradict the following: @crab12 But how is your awareness directed at something? Isn't that just the result of influencing factors? As I understand it, God creates the illusion of splitting itself up into many individual consciousnesses. (Though of course, in the end there is only one Consciousness). One Individual consciousness is conscious of the feelings, emotions, thoughts,.. of crab12. And another individual consciousness is conscious of the feelings, emotions, thoughts,... of GreenWoods. And this individual consciousness is what I think you meant with "I": and with "fragment of the infinite mind". In my experience, this individual consciousness has no control or influence, it just is, and observes/is conscious of what happens.

@VeganAwake The question is: How is a decision made? I see 3 possibilities: Influencing factors. There are many influencing factors (like: thoughts, emotions, sensations, habits, nemories..) which determine the outcome of a decision. The body is like a calculator and these factors like numbers. 5+7-2=10 ,no matter what. This seems to indicate that everything is predetermined. Influencing factors + randomness. That means nothing is predetermined. So there are these influencing factors, but there is some randomness which determines which influencing factors are dominant, so it determines the weight of every possible influencing factor (including 0). For example, it might be regarded random whether it rains or not, and that will determine the value of influencing factors like emotions, thoughts,.. The body has free will. So there are the influencing factors + randomness, but in the end the body decides how much value/weight to give to each influencing factor, and thus can decide the outcome. I assumed without investigating that the body has free will. I thought, as there is no ego then the body must have free will. But how can the body have free will? What exactly would have free will? I feel like this free-will thing is only possible with some seperate entity having it, which obviously doesn't exist. Therefore I think that the 2. possibility (influencing factors + randomness) is most likely how it works. Or as close as I get to with my current understanding. That would mean that I was wrong with my "the body can decide what to do and behaving altruistically would be the only logical result of awakening, otherwise it is not embodied" Though, I have one last idea that would support that line of thinking: Let's say a body/mind has to decide whether to buy another car for itself or buy a car for a poor friend. Now, let's boil all influencing factors down to "survival factors" which include all factors which want that car for that body and "selfless factors" which include all factors that want the car for the poor friend. The weight of all these influencing factors is determined by randomness and other influencing factors. So for example, after taking shrooms (which is a result of influencing factors and randomness) the value/weight of the survival factors is likely to have decreased and the value/weight of the selfless factors is likely to have increased, even if only slightly. That would mean that it is only a matter of how deep you go with your awakening till the selfless factors eventually outweigh the survival factors and you buy that car for the poor friend. If that is the case, then it would make sense that generally speaking, the deeper your awakening = the deeper your embodiment = the more altruistic you become. Wouldn't it?

1. humanitarian work doesn't require a feeling of lack. You are right, as long as there is an ego, lack is perceived and needed in order to 'improve' something. Once it is gone, there is no 'lack' anywhere and nothing needs 'improving'. But I would argue that humanitarian actions would still be taken. 2.Where is the difference between running around and 'improving' something or meditating at home, thinking nothing needs to be done. In both instances a conscious or unconscious decision was made to do that particular thing rather than something else. How is this decision done? As I pointed out earlier decisions would have to be 100% random. Unless you artifically - consciously or unconsciously - create some guiding principles. These can be anywhere between service to self to service to Self oriented. The Self doesn't need 'service', yes, but neither does the self need 'service'. So we are back to decisions being random unless guiding principles are created. What I am argueing is, that if your life seems to naturally unfold because there is no seeming interference by a controlling ego mind, then I say, a guiding principle was unconsciously created in order to allow that particular reality.

I would roughly define being awake as "being conscious of your true nature". And embodied awakening as "having your actions aligned with that realisation/knowing". I think you would agree with that. But what you would probably call full embodiment, I would call 60% embodiment. Yes, it certainly is a part of an embodied awakening. I also don't think that all money made should be used to create value. My point is that someone who has fully embodied awakening (like perhaps Jesus) would do that.

Because these 2 are often at odds Yes. The more we help others the more happy we become. But once a certain point is reached helping more will decrease your happiness. I guess that could be a realistic sweet spot. My intention was to contrast embodied enlightenment from not embodied enlightenment. Because I think that answers the original question of this thread. Or actually, I think it has two answers. The first is a lack of embodiment, but then the question is why isn't there perfect embodiment. And this question was already answered by other forum members. And I don't say embodied enlightenment is better than not embodied enlightenment. But relatively speaking, there are pros and cons. Definitely not. They provide value and have to live from something

@LfcCharlie4 First of all, thanks for taking so much time to answer to my post My responses to your post are in cursive

There are no guiding principles and it doesn't matter what you do. But you have to do something. Be it meditating, helping others, buying 10 cars, eating or killing yourself. But how do you decide what to do? Either your actions will be 100% random or you artifically create guiding principles. So the question is what kind of guiding principles you create. Is your artifically created guiding principle "maximising happiness and pleasure for this body/character/mind" which is ego-based or "maximising happiness and pleasure of other people" which is based on awakening insights like Self-Love and Oneness and therefore I would call that embodied enlightenment. If you are enlightened you can live a life that embodies enlightenment or one that doesn't embody it. If you live a life that doesn't embody enlightenment then that seems to me like a contradiction to your awakening insights. Of course you can live a life with that discrepancy, nothing wrong with that. I just want to contrast embodied enlightenment from not embodied enlightenment. Yes, it is a form of love, but a very constricted one. It is likely very close to self-love and very far away from Self-Love. =no embodied enlightenment.

Any technology which helps you to lucid dream (and then take psychedelics in the dream). Like lucid dream devices/gadgets to wear during the night or dream herbs.

@purerogue ,@wavydude The body has access to this higher 'knowledge'. It is God's vehicle. The body can do what it wants, but it has poor embodiment unless it alignes its behaviour with its insights/knowing. @fridjonk Everything is perfect and it doesn't matter what you do also means that it doesn't matter if you help others, live selfishly, or commit suicide. That might indicate that enlightened people should act totally randomly, but there is a guiding principle: If your awakening is total, than you are also aware of Love. And Love chooses to help others rather than to live selfishly or commit suicide. @Nahm Yes, there is no personal you, but that doesn't mean that the body can't decide how much in alignment with Truth it wants to live @Lento Why? @Serotoninluv Because they have a sense of self and are not conscious of Oneness, so they only care about their survival.

@LfcCharlie4 "Survival" of the physical body or of a selfish ego? And if you act in a way which favours this human more than another human, then you deny Oneness. Does altruism equal "emotionless robot"? perhaps the exact opposite is the case. If someone doesn't own a car because he rather donates that money because other people can't even afford enough food, then he sees himself as superior? If you buy yourself nice luxus goods then that basically says "this body is superior to other bodies" The question is how well a body can translate that. Of course you can be spiritual and run a business, the question is what you will do with the profit the business generates. @mandyjw You don't see the money they donate, but you see the money they don't donate (in the form of expensive cars, etc.) @crab12 Giving without expecting something in return is a good start but in most cases it's still not true Self-Love. For example that mother expanded her identiy to include her child, so she is still serving the self and not necessarily the Self (serving the Self would mean to act in such a way that it benefits as much parts of the Self as possible. So you don't favour one self/part over another). Her love is conditional. The condition is "my" child. Parents buy their children expensive cars while children in other places starve (children who don't happen to be labeled "my" child by those rich people). Devilry? I don't say being perfectly selfless is to give away all your money but to give away all the money which you don't need to create more value for others. But being totally selfless and totally embodying Self-Love is pretty much impossible. God can't do that through a human form. The question is not whether you embody Self-Love or not, but how close you are to embodying it. And I don't say to try to embody it as much as possible. I think it is fine to stay a little selfish and live somewhat comfortably. We don't need to be perfect. But just keep in mind that this means that we don't embody perfect Self-Love. That would be nice. Of course win-win deals can be very profitable too, but the most profits are made by exploiting and manipulating as much as possible, and living in stage orange times, that's what happens.

To be able to afford experiencing another ego death If you gave away all your money you would, in that way, help other people and then starve to death. But if you use that money to further develop yourself, you will be able to add a lot more value in the future. But if one keeps money which one clearly doesn't need, then I guess that's because enlightenment hasn't been fully integrated and embodied yet. On the argument of everything is perfect and it doesn't matter what you do: That also means that it doesn't matter if you help others, live selfishly, or commit suicide. That might indicate that enlightened people should act totally randomly, but there is a guiding principle: If your awakening is total, than you are also aware of Love. And Love chooses to help others rather than to live selfishly or commit suicide. As I understand it, it's a matter of how deep your awakening and embodiment is and how well you understand the paradox. As long as you eat meat and drive a car that costs more than $4 000 your embodiment is a joke.

The book contains some interesting information. Like what she calls the second death when you discard your energy body (that happens when you become lucid after death, that means when you actually realize that you died, which most people apparently don't) and the third death when you also discard your extraphysical (=astral/etheric) body (that apparently happens when your emotionality decreases, then only your mental body remains). And what she writes about the mental dimension, which might be a great 'place' for enlightenment work. But her techniques are basically the same as the one I called "waiting for sleep paralysis" (didn't know how else to name it), just some minor things are different. These techniques definitely work but they have some crucial disadvantages to the double body visualizations and explorers astral projection. She writes in the benefits chapter: "[OBEs give the] opportunity to convert the one third of human life habitually wasted in sleep to conscious, productive activity" How is that possible? Can that be achieved with the techniques of the book? I didn't read every section of the book, so perhaps I missed it, but I didn't find anything that explains how. Do you or anyone else know how to have OBEs during non-REM sleep? The book is very information-dense and contains background information that normal OBE books don't have so i can recommend it.

Or developing some technology/device that makes it easier to get lucid. The InstaDreamer looks like it could work. But judging by the comments on Kickstarter it will take some more months till it will be available for purchase. Imagine someone invents a device (or finds a herb) that makes you lucid very reliably. That might be huge for humanity. A lot of people will get into LDing because of all the fun stuff like flying or sex. But sooner or later they will notice the potential for personal development, because you can directly interact with your subconscious. In that way, a lot of people would get into personal development, people that don't have the time, interest, or energy to do that in waking life. And once it is better-known in the lucid dreaming community, that you can relatively easily access (for example with psychedelics) levels of consciousness in dreams which monks work towards for decades, all these people might start getting glimpses of enlightenment and become more spiritual Edit: And: Some people say that our exponential technological advancements might pose a threat to humanity. The danger is - so they say - that we connect our minds with the internet. For example Elon Musk's company Neuralink is working on that. When that happens even our thoughts won't be private and will probably be easy to be manipulated. China's current surveillance situation will be a joke in comparison. I guess one of the biggest motives for people to connect to Artificial Intelligence will be a vivid and immersive virtual reality. But if people can easily lucid dream with a technology or herb, then they might decide against that and go for lucid dreaming instead, the natural and much more powerful alternative.

@SirVladimir Thanks, I will give it a try. Do you also find a higher chance of getting lucid after the breathing? Have you looked into OBEs? Dreams are a great way to explore your subjective inner worlds but when you visit something like an alien planet then this planet is imagined, but when you visit an alien planet during an OBE, then that planet is real. In this way you can explore our actual physical universe, and more. When you are already able to lucid dream, then the easiest way to have an OBE probably is to wake yourself up (from a lucid dream) with the intention to not move and stay in sleep paralysis. Or to not completely wake up. And then you can do an exit method like rolling out. But I think you are still likely to find yourself in a dream, but with practice and experience you might eventually land in this physical dimension.

Great post! I also think that dreams have a lot of potential, far more than most lucid dreamers are aware of. Are your dreams 3 times wilder after shamanic breathing? That's interesting. Did you do it directly before bed or earlier during the day? How long are your breathing sessions? can't wait till I get there

Double Body Visualizations, DILDs and Omnilucidity (=lucid in every dream) - 1. Imapact on DILDs Let's say you have practiced the double body visualizations a lot and are able to have OBEs and lucid dreams during the day whenever you want, now it would be nice to also be lucid during your dreams during the night, in order to not waste that time. I think an average person dreams around 90 minutes each night, if you sleep longer, then that gets exponentially more. And once you can dilate time in your lucid dreams, you will be lucid far longer than these 90 minutes. John Kreiter says that the more solid your visualization double body is, the more likely you are to get lucid. He gives two reasons: "Firstly, a person is able to create a more cohesive and solid dreaming body [=visualization double body]. This is important because it is this dreaming body, that becomes your active body when you are in a dream. When you are dreaming, you leave behind the physical body, comfortable and safe in your bed hopefully, and engage a new body; a dreaming body that is far more powerful than the physical body that you left behind. By engaging in the act of creating, developing, and solidifying your Dreaming Double, or energy body, you help to consolidate your dreaming form in the dream state. The more stable that your dream form becomes, the easier it is to wake up in the dream, and the easier it is to move and manipulate, your self, and your dream environment once you become lucid." "The second, and perhaps most important thing that the creation of the Dreaming Double does, is that it helps to create a deep bond between the ego consciousness and the dreaming body. In this way the ego consciousness, which is your waking self, can then be linked in a way to the dreaming consciousness. This link, this expansion of the ego self, makes the possibility of becoming lucid in a dream much more likely. This is so because dream lucidity, that is, becoming awake within a dream, is really the act of joining the dreaming self, and the waking self." - 2. How long does it take? I think this is true, but it takes a lot of time. I have done roughly 250 hours of the double/etheric body visualizations and currently I become lucid (DILDS) several times a week (9 times in the last 2 weeks). But I think it's also because of the other things I do, many RCs, WBTB, many alarm clocks, dream journal,.. I would estimate that without the visualizations I would have become lucid perhaps 1-3 out of the 9 times. But without the other things (and only the visualizations) I would perhaps have become lucid 0-1 times. So it's a mixture of both. One thing I believe is because of the visualizations, is, that I usually become lucid immediately after I have a doubt. So the mere doubting or wondering whether this is a dream or not usually makes me lucid. Whereas, before I started doing the visualizations, most of the moments I wondered whether I was dreaming didn't make me lucid. (But I think the fact that I am now a bit more experienced due to more LDs plays a role too) Let's say you spend 30-45minutes each day to have DILDs (RCs, dream journel, quick WBTBs,..) then that are my time frame guesses: 0.2% lucidity (=0.2% of your dreams are lucid, that makes around 10 seconds each night if you have the average amount of dreams of 90 minutes). After 1-2 months of doing these basic things and without the double body visualizations 0.5% lucidity (half a minute on average daily) after 200 hours of double body visualizations (+ doing the basic stuff daily) 5.5% lucidity (=5min) after 500 hours of double body visualizations 28% lucidity (=25 min) after 1000 hours of double body visualizations 80+% lucidity (=70+ minutes) after 2000 hours of double body visualizations. Now it's all about how good your dream recall is. All of that obviously largely varies, depending on many factors like how much effective effort you put into the basics each day, natural abilities, how much time a day you do the visualizations,... The duration of lucidity is so exponential, largely because the more experience you have of being lucid, the longer you manage to stay lucid. But of courses also because of the visualizations, that means, even if the duration of each LD wouldn't increase, the duration you are lucid each night would still increase exponentially. So 2 exponential reasons. - 3. Time Dilation I believe the 1000 hours mark is the big turning point. Firstly, you will probably be able to have OBEs whenever you want or at least when you are in REM (as I mentioned in previous posts), that means now you really begin to feel and enjoy the benefits of the many visualizations. Secondly, around 28% of your dreams will be lucid (DILDs) (if you also do the other DILD techniques) which makes around 25 minutes a day. And I believe this is around the minimum you should be lucid if you want to learn how to dilate time. I wrote about time dilation in the post/thread "lucid dreaming as a tool for enlightenment". There I wrote that time dilation in lucid dreams might be possible, but now I think the likelihood that it is possible is very high. So once you start working on time dilation (spending all your lucid time on time dilation) then I guess it will take 2-5 months till 25 mins are like 2 hours (factor 5). And then all happens very exponential. The more you can dilate time, the more time you spend in lucid dreams, which makes you more and more likely to get lucid and thus increases the this-world time you are lucid. And the more time you spend in LDs, the more time you have to work on time dilation. So here are two positive feedback loops. Therefore, I guess that only 1 month later, you will have omnilucidity (95-100% lucidity) and can spend as much time dreaming as you spend awake. And if you spend that much time in lucid dreams, thus in your dream body, which is your double body ( Your dream body is usually way more vivid than your double body during visualizations, because you are in sleep paralysis.) , your double body during your normal double body visualizations should therefore also get more and more solid, which makes it more easy to have OBEs and lucid dreams during the day, which then also allows you to spend more time on working on time dilation. It's all connected and positive-feedback loopy. Perhaps this is all fantasy or perhaps not, I don't know, but we will see - 4. Some more things on getting DILDs "In actuality kinesthetic visualization can be far stronger than a picture in the mind’s eye, because the certainty and the power of such feeling visualizations, is incredibly powerful." I think that the part of the visualizations where you feel your double body are the most important to having DILDs. "there is a definite link between dream work and the techniques discussed in the Overcoming the Archon Through Alchemy book: the more energy that you are able to acquire or not lose to the Archonic forces, the easier that your dreaming will become." So if you also do the techniques of this or his Magnum Opus book, then this will also slightly increase your chances to have DILDs All the quotes in this post are by John Kreiter from that blog post: https://johnkreiter.com/how-to-have-lucid-dreams-even-if-you-are-not-a-good-visualizer/

I don't know, I didn't look into the subject that deeply. But what you write makes sense.

DMT breathing is more complex and powerful than shamanic breathing. You can get high more quickly. But I don't think you are likely to feel the effects on your first few tries, you first need to learn how to do the technique properly. That's a detailed guide: Here are 3 variations:

Doing DMT breathing and shamanic breathing during a dark room retreat might be interesting
