Self Hypnosis and LD

Is there any way to be hypnotized or self hypnotized and then have a lucid dream?

Yes it is possible to use this hypnotizing technique to assist you in having a LD. I have done that before and had vivid LD’s for weeks.

Hypnosis discussion has a lot more information about this, including some techniques shared there. I, however, will copy and paste what I have typed in there about how to do a self-hypnosis on yourself.

Dm7:

Here is one of the common self-hypnoizing techniques.

Induce a deep trance by relaxing and imagine yourself falling into a deeper trance with each slow deep exhale. Feel your muscles melting away. Just melt away… relax yourself until you feel like you’re very heavy. Soon you find your mind beginning to calm down as well. Continue to relax further… when your mind is quiet enough that your thoughts or intentions seem so loud when you ‘say’ it in mind.
That’s when it begins. Hypnoizing is like tricking your mind into changing negative into positive with strong POSITIVE sentences. Say something like, “When I count to 10, I become a LD expert. I will get LD every night. LDs will be so intense.” (Do not say something like I will NOT see a elephant… cuz brain doesn’t see “NOT” at all… the POSITIVE sentences only work with hypnosis suggestions). Make sure you really MEAN it. Begin to count 1 to 10 and continue to suggest that you notice that it is working even before it reached 10. 10 is like a peak effect. When you’re done. Then you might want to state your intention again with number 10 in your mind. Then when you’re done… it’s best to hypnoize yourself out of that trance since it is most likely to stuck with you more rather than wake up immediately. By doing that, suggest yourself, “When I count backward to 1… I’ll be fully awake, alert, and full energized. I will remember everything.” When you get to 1, wake up.

Hope it works.

Also if you have troubles with deep trance, you can try hypnoizing yourself in a LD… it works very well too.

Good luck!
