A Practical Technique for Experiencing Life as a ¨Dream¨

[Kevin Dunlop]

I watched the ¨Life is a dream¨ video Leo published and thought I would share with you a technique I have been researching that exposes the mechanism of reality and dreams for most people. Here is how you can try it too. It will take about 3 minutes or as long as you wish, with a small amount of concentration and curiosity most succeed. Read the instructions first, then have your experience and write down what happens for you, please share your experience in the comments if you want to. After reading this shut off the computer or any distraction and dim the lights and observe what you see with your eyes closed. It might help to imagine looking forward at what seems like a screen very close and infront of you. From other reports what people see can vary alot but for most it is random, sparkles, lights colours, shapes, all moving and transforming. Whatever you see focus on it and try not ot lose sight of it, try to hold your attension on what you see there in that field as it transforms and stay with it. The objective here is to put your attension on something you have not been noticing and see what it is. As you look at these visual elements watch what they transform into, go ahead and try to give them names and see these images more clearly and more realistically. This is what naturally happens for most when they can focus on the images ramdomly generated in this field. Some who can hold their attension on these images see that they become more and more real and defined. One might see a blob of light, then as it moves it takes the form of an animal running then it becomes a horse then the horse is in a field then in a completety real conscious dream like visualization. With our experiments we have observed that the random noise one sees with the eyes closed becomes a full dream when we focus on it. Try to have this experience. Let the random images become a visualization like a dream you are consciously watching. This, for most, is automatic when one focuses on the process. In a few minutes you may be surprised how easy it was to see something materialize in your field of vision with your eyes closed. Notice the your ability to create a reality or at least something out of nothing and how it happens on its own all you do is observe it. Let this go on for as long as you like you may also use thoughts to embelish and encourage the process of visualizing something definable or at best a realistic dream like visual experience. Now open your eyes and look at your normal world. Try to see aspects of the same process happening in your waking state. Things being fabricated, visual processes embelishing reality, even how thoughts are working as a filter that create your experience. The first part may be alot easier than this second part of questioning reality, but try to allow yourself to take the importance away from reality and put some on this dream field that is operating to soften the difference between the two. Thank you for participating, I am interested to hear what you experience and if it helps you sense something new about dreams and reality. Here is a tip for those who see nothing but black with the eyes closed. Flash a flashlight across your eyes with them open then close them, here you will be able to begin with the image left behind by the light.
