1. Preparation
- Before beginning, learn the procedure for Measuring Nasal Dilation:
a. Hold one nostril shut (by pressing the side of your nose with your finger) and inhale and exhale several times through the other nostril.
b. Now, switch nostrils and breathe in and out again.
c. Which nostril was easier to breathe through? That is the “open” one. Practiced uring the day until you are fully familiar with the procedure!
2. Before bed
- Place the Report Form (p. 4 [color=red]see full PDF[/color]) by your bed, along with a clock, a pen and a light you can use in the middle of the night.
3. As you fall asleep
- At bedtime, as you fall asleep, set your mind to awaken after your dreams.
4. On awakening during the night
- When you wake during the night:
a. Remain in the position in which you awakened and try to recall as much dream content as you can.
b. Find out which nostril is more open with the Measuring Nasal Dilation procedure.
c. Fill out the next column of the ReportForm, following the directions below, Using the Report Form.
d. If you had a lucid dream, write out a description including how you knew you were dreaming.
5. Repeat until…
- Repeat Step 4 until you have collected sufficient data as explained below. Please sleep equal amounts of time in all three postures, left side (LS), right side (RS) and back (B). If you find it difficult to sleep in on your back, you may collect most of your data by alternating sleeping on LS and RS. The minimum useful data set will have roughly equal numbers of cases from the three postures, with at least four awakenings with your left nostril open, atleast four with your right nostril open, and with at least one lucid dream. If you finish one form with 16 dreams, all non-lucid, please printout a new Report Form and wait until your next lucid dream to start filling it out. Then continue with equal numbers of the three postures. For this to work, you must be sleeping in one of the three postures when you have your lucid dream. If you are unable for medical reasons to sleep in either the LS or RS postures, send email to experiment@lucidity.comfor further instructions. You can print out as many Report Forms as you need for the data you record. You can collect dreams at any time; they don’t have to be from the same or consecutive nights.
