[software] Infinity

Is masturbation really as bad for dream recall as the software says?
I’m willing to make a sacrafice, but I’m not running for Jesus :neutral:

I’m not quite sure how to confirm whether or not masturbation can affect dream recall. I’ve done minor expriments on my own with several people, but could not conclude whether or not the results were the way they were due to placebo (such as thinking it would improve made it improve). Regardless, I wrote what I did in the software because regardless, masturbation might lead to a loss of dream recall. Take it out of the equation and you don’t have to run that extra risk. It’s of course up to you in the end.

How important is every step? This morning I was supposed to listen to one of the mp3 files before going back to sleep, but I fell asleep before I even got out of bed.
Should I just continue with the program, or do I have to start over?

Also, Day 8 says that the BWGEN is included in the project’s folder, but I can only find Infinity and its readme.

Just try your best and keep going, no need to start over (unless you just don’t do anything, hah).

If you look on the first post in the downloads section, you’ll see “The Goods required”. Download that and it’ll give you the files required.

the Lucid Remix is wonderful

Ok, so here’s the thing:

On Wednesday, I’m not going to be near this computer, so I won’t be able to do the program. I’m starting it for the first time after I wake up (EST; I think it’ll get confusing to start it at 2am). Could I type out/write down what I have to do for the next few days, but not do them until then, and put the mp3 files on my iPod? Or is it important to be surprised of each step and not know what I’m supposed to do until that day?

I’m probably too late for this response, but I’ll post it up anyway. It’s fine if you know what later days hold for you (otherwise you wouldn’t be able to reuse the program). So, it’s perfectly fine for you to do such a thing :smile:

Alright, just making sure that it doesn’t interfere with the thought process or anything.
And you’re not too late. Turns out that I’m staying on for another week.
Thanks for the info :smiley:

Heh well good luck to you! Sorry for the delay :grin:

Is this a different version than from a few months ago?
I must have downloaded this and Paradiso a year or so ago, is it updated at all?

No. The only reason for a new thread was to give links to a new server and just start over (the other thread had almost 20 pages, lol).

I somehow didn’t wake up from my alarm clock and therefore unintentionally skipped day 6. Should I repeat that process before moving on to day 7? Also can you further describe the hand technique? I don’t entirely understand it. Should the lights be on and I am therefore looking at my hands?

While it wouldn’t be too much of an issue to move on to Day 7, if you have the endurance, I’d go for doing Day 6 again.

As for the Hand Technique, yes, you literally have the lights on during the initial part of the technique. Once you focus on your hands while repeating your mantra for several minutes, you can then turn the lights out and gently start to fall asleep while still visualizing your hands.

If it helps, I’ve copied and pasted what is in the Lucid Dreaming Digibook. For the most part, it’s the same as what’s described in Infinity.

Following the Infinity guide, I was onto stage two, looking at my hands imagining, then visualizing. After visualizing for a good half hour, I felt my toes go incredibly numb and I was EXTREMELY heavy. Accidently moved and cancelled it, but if I continued, would I enter a LD through WILD?

What you were describing could have in fact been sleep paralysis. If you would’ve held on for a bit longer, you could’ve easily acquired lucidity. What I personally do when I reach this point (which, unfortunately, has only occurred a handful of times) is simply open my eyes and what I see is the dreamworld. I’m not sure how to describe how I actually open them other than the fact that I force my dream body to open them.

Anyway, if you do some searching on the forums or even on google or something, there’s loads of articles on sleep paralysis and lucid dreaming. Congratulations on the progress! :smile:

I’m going to test it. (i’ve been working on my own software, with little luck, so, i’m going to see if yours works better than mine…If i get at least 1 lucid dream, you win.)

Hehe there’s no winning and losing. Different things work for different people. How better to investigate new possibilities than to produce something that’s never been seen before? You’re obviously welcome to try Infinity, but I think you should continue with your program until it’s ready for everybody else. If you need a tester or anything like that, I’m just a message away.

Hey, I’m just starting on the Infinity training exercise, and I will be sure to post any results from the training in the future. BTW, if I do have a lucid dream, it will be the first one I’ve had, ever.
However, I do have one question: Can you upload a file to reverse the curse? I got a little freaked out after listening to the whole of “CurseLucidDreams” #1, and I think I might want out… :sad:
Thanks in advance.

Ok, I will message you, and…that is a very nice avatar you have…

Hehe I can understand why that would seem a little freaky. You should see some of the other stuff that this guy does. There are curses that pretty much psychologically embarass the individual. I’ve yet to listen to them, but they’re listed on his website. At any rate, there is a music file that will take any of his curses away. All you have to do is listen to it once. I advise not listening to it unless you absolutely want the curse to be lifted. Click here for the file.

Magic Qwan, good luck! :content:
