The Power Of Suggestion

It has long been known that the human mind is very open to suggestion when in a very relaxed state. Hypnotism has been used for entertainment, past life regression, and in the medical community. It can also be used to help induce OBEs, and you don’t need a hypnotist to do it!

Sleep-Onset Suggestion Method

Once you get used to putting yourself into the body asleep / mind awake state, you will be able to plant suggestions in your mind. The trick is to start to recognize the exact point where sleep is taking over. This is known as the hypnagogic state, and is where you are losing conscious awareness and falling asleep.

Maintain an image in your mind as you lay there. The image can be anything but keep it simple. As soon as you start to see the image change, you know that sleep is starting to take over. Play with this state for awhile, by keeping yourself from falling asleep, and stay in the hypnagogic state. Once you are well able to discern the exact point where sleep takes over, you are ready to plant your suggestion.

At this point, in your mind tell yourself “I WILL have an OBE. I WILL remember.” The suggestion has to be short an easy to recite. This will be the very last conscious thought before sleep takes over and it will remain with your subconscious mind. This is the method I have used most often with success.

Dream Programming

Everyone dreams each and every night as we cycle through several REM (Rapid Eye Movement) stages of sleep. Most people do not remember very much of their dreams on a nightly basis, but this can be easily learned by keeping a dream journal. Keep your journal beside your bed, and when you awaken, write down anything you remember no matter how unimportant it seems. Your best recollection of a dream is when you first wake up and then you tend to lose it, unless it’s a particularly vivid one. After awhile, you will automatically start to remember your dreams more. This is important for the next step.

Once you have mastered remembering your dreams, you need to start learning how to lucid dream. This is when you become aware during a dream. You are fully conscious that everything you are experiencing is a dream. To do this, you need to give yourself a cue before you go to sleep. And it has to be the same cue all the time. This is ‘programming’ part. Tell yourself every night before you go to sleep that if you see this cue (it can be anything special to you... a red rubber ball for instance, or the moon), if you see this cue, you will know you are in a dream. It may not happen right away, but with practice it will happen in time, and when it does, you will have full control over the dream experience.

Once you become aware in a dream, all you have to do is simply tell yourself to project. Since it’s believed that dreams really are a form of projection on the astral plane, all we are doing is simply becoming aware of it. Once we become aware of it, the images that don’t make sense as in a dream state, will start to become perceivable and understandable. The conscious mind will take over from the subconscious mind and you will be able to remember when you wake up.
