I’m new to LDing and the BwGen. I have used many user Presets already, including Deep Mind II and VI.
After reading this thread I downloaded and listened to Deep Mind IV for the first time last night.
One of my great problems with these entrainment programs is that I cannot seem to enter a deep enough level of relaxation. My mind is entrained to a certain point and then I usually become aware of my dry mouth. The sensation goes quickly from feeling dry to parched and my body automatically carries out a swallow reflex to relieve the ‘tension’. It is very frustrating because the effect is to take you out of the trance you were steadily working towards. Sometimes another sensation will assert itself, such as an itch, a burning sensation, the sensation of something crawling over the skin…
After relaxing into Deep Mind IV, I reached that point where I swallowed one time, taking me out of the meditation - but only a little bit. I stuck with it and I was back in it after a few seconds. Then, gradually, a profoundly heavy sensation was felt throughout the body and my awareness felt slightly independent of the body, as if the sensations were not making much of an impact on me even if I could feel them. I have to admit I wasn’t completely prepared for this feeling of independence from the body and I wasn’t sure what to do. I thought about the Robert Bruce rope-climbing technique to induce OBEs but just focused instead on repeating some instructions and affirmations regarding lucid dreaming.
After only 30 minutes of the 45 minute session, I ended the program and fell asleep. It was the first time I have really been relaxed, able to leave the physical body behind along with all the sensations. As a tool to teach this state of mind it is without equal in my list of Presets.
Now I need some good instructions on what exactly to do within that state!
I listened to tapir’s preset throughout most of the night…
I didn’t have dream recall, I don’t know if that was a result or not.
I am rereading now his description - it’s supposed to be used after you wake up during the night to re-enter a dream! You could say I misused the preset!
Actually I got to admit that I haven’t tried it myself so far, since I don’t want to do WBTB while there’s school. It’s based on the theoretical knowledge that we have about sleeping and brainwaves.
Anyways, I’d be interested in any results people have with this
any1 no a good, neutral background sound to use with LD test. i dont like the gushing river or that type bcus wen im sleeping i can hear where it ends and loops round and it drives me crazy. what about pink or brown noise, do they work?
I’ve tried everything in this topic but I can’t find any way to listen to Deep Mind IV! Could someone please help me and give me a simple explanation on how to get that file to work? I’m so confused.
Would this work without headphones? I think I would sort of have a problem falling asleep with headphones on. Would just normal speakers work or is the left/right ear thing a big part of it?
I’m anxious to try this, but have only one problem. It wont install. I open the exe and extract the setup info mantually into a folder, and run Setup.exe. It opens, meaning its open when I do Ctrl+Alt+Del, but nothing visually happens on the screen. Anybody know what the prob is? I really want to try this.
What I did was put it in a dir titled Presets. Opened BWGen, dropped down Presets, then Import. Find the file called Deep Mind IV and double click it. Then click the Play button. It should start to play.
hi
load your favourite .bwg file, choose “play into wav file”, set the time to preset time and save it to your hard disk drive.
you can burn the .wav file to CD.
if you want convert wav to mp3 (it is unnecessary in my opinion) use something good encoder (lame enc.) and choose stereo mode (not joint stereo) and least 128kbps, but more is better.
if you listen it, listen it without “megabass” function.
thank you sphad… much apreciated.
by the way i was quite suprised to see this “(sorry for my poor english)”… becuase i thought your english was perfect!
Could someone please help me and give me a simple explanation on how to get that file to work? I’m so confused.
