Science Horizons

A lot of times when you enter an O.B.E you’ll find that you can’t see. This is called exit blindness. Here in part 9 we’ll cover the 3 simplest and quickest solutions to exit blindness to recover your sight as fast as possible.

The 3 Main Exit Blindness Causes

Exit blindness is due to three main reasons:

1.) First, that your eyes have been sealed shut by some kind of nonphysical glue.

2.) Second that you don’t have enough energy to open your nonphysical eyes.

3.) Third you don’t have energy to power your nonphysical eyes.

Eye Glue Causes Exit Blindness

The first problem is that in the O.B.E your eyes sometimes start out with some kind of glue that’s holding your eyelids together. Strange as it may seem this is a recurring effect that many people have reported and that I have experienced many times.

Use ‘eye Pry’ To Open Your Eyes

The quickest solution to glued eyelids is to use your nonphysical hands to pry your eyelids open. This is called the ‘eye pry’ method. Sometimes the glue is very strong and it can actually be painful to pull them open. The glue can also have a kind of magnetic effect so that once you have your eyes open the glue pulls them back together. You have to keep on top of things and keep pulling your eyes open in order to keep your sight turned on. You can also use eye pry in the 2nd case where you have enough energy to power your eyes but not enough to open your eyelids.

3 Solutions To Blindness From Low Energy

In the 3rd case where you don’t even have enough energy to power your eyes there are 3 main solutions. These are:

1.) Deep breathing

2.) Improving your mood

3.) mental projections.

Use Deep Breathing To Brighten The O.B.E

The first solution is to use deep breathing to power your nonphysical body. This solution is not a cure all but it can definitely improve your sight and make things brighter. You need to be careful with this method because it can cause your physical body to wake up.

Recall that one way to break paralysis is to simply change your breathing so your body notices you’re awake. While that does break paralysis, there is also a middle ground where you can breathe deeply to power your nonphysical body but also not breathe so deeply so that your body notices the difference. The only way to know what that feels like is to practice by entering sleep paralysis and seeing how much you can deep breathe without breaking the paralysis.

Improve Your Mood To See

The second main solution is to improve your mood in the O.B.E. Your mood often determines how bright and clear your O.B.E will be. By putting yourself in a very positive frame of mind you can largely avoid dark O.B.E.s and you may never have a problem with blindness in the first place. However this solution isn’t 100% effective and isn’t very useful if you’re trying to recover sight in a lucid nightmare.

Mental Projections

The third solution is what’s called a mental projection. This is an advanced technique that relies heavily on visualizations. However it’s also extremely powerful and this is actually what I rely on most because it is 100% effective to cure exit blindness. This is because in a mental projection you’re able to see without seeing and so exit blindness is not a factor.

A lot of times when I enter an O.B.E I won’t even bother to get my eyes working and I’ll just enter a mental projection which gives you all the sensory information you need but without actually seeing anything at all. Lucidology 101 is all about visualization-free techniques. However Lucidology 102 is all about how to use visualizations to dramatically accelerate your O.B.E progress. In Lucidology 102 I’ll show you exactly how to do mental projections make exit blindness a non-issue.

Up next in part 10 you’ll find out why everything you’ve read about O.B.E vibrations in books is wrong and you’ll find out the 3 easiest ways to tell how close you are to an O.B.E.

Nick Newport Metaphysical astral projection, how to lucid dream, insomnia, lucid dreaming, Metaphysical, out of body experiences, robert bruce, sleep paralysis

In a lot of O.B.E.s it’s really hard to tell what’s going on and whether you’re in an O.B.E or not. Here in Lucidology 101 part 8 you’re about to find out the 4 easiest ways to take the red pill so you know if you’ve shifted into an O.B.E or not.

O.B.E.s Can Be Much More Hyper-detailed Than Waking Awareness

Lucid dreams and O.B.E.s can be extremely realistic. In fact, a lot of times it’s very hard to tell if you’re actually awake or if you’re dreaming.

In fact, sometimes they are actually more realistic than waking awareness. Sometimes after an O.B.E you’ll find that your physical sight is actually hazy and dream-like compared to the hyper detailed realism of the O.B.E.

High Dynamic Range Visuals In O.B.Es

For example, a lot of times your vision will have what photographers called “High Dynamic Range” or HDR. HDR means that there’s a higher range between the bright areas and the dark areas. HDR is anything but dream-like and you may not think at first that you’re actually in an O.B.E because your sight has so much detail. Your sight may also seem like it has a lot more pixels than you have when physically aware. In fact, these O.B.E.s should be called “high bandwidth experiences” because of all the extra sensory information you take in

First Awake/asleep Cycle Is Usually Kind Of Sloppy

This effect is compounded when you use the timer method we covered in Lucidology 101 part 7. Remember that the hypnotic fractionation effect causes you to hover on the awake asleep threshold when you enter and exit trance over and over. The first couple times you wake up and fall asleep, it’s relatively easy to tell if you’re nonphysical or physical because it’s kind of a sloppy cycle and you swing wildly around between being awake and asleep.

The Next Awake/asleep Cycle Is Tighter

However as the hypnotic fractionation effect kicks in, the cycles start to get tighter and tighter.

Eventually You’re Alternating Very Tightly

The O.B.E.s start to become more and more realistic. Eventually it can be very difficult to tell if you’re waking up into your physical bedroom or if you’re in an O.B.E.

False Awakening Loops

This is called a false-awakening loop in which you think you wake up but end up in an O.B.E. You wake up again and end up in another O.B.E. It may take a couple tries before you really do wake up in your physical bedroom again.

False Awakening Loops From Spiraling Off-center

This is because you’ve started spirally off center toward a nonphysical focus. What you need is a way to know that you’re in an O.B.E and wake up for real.

How To Deal With The False-awakening Loop?

Basically you need a way to take the red pill. This is called a reality check. And not just any reality check will do, you need a movement-free reality check so that you can do it without disturbing your trance.

You Need Multiple Reality Checks

In fact you need a set of reality checks because there is no single silver bullet reality check which is 100% reliable.

The 4 Easiest Movement-free Reality Checks

Here are the 4 most effective, most reliable and easiest reality tests that you can start using immediately. I have tested each of these many times to see how well they work and what pitfalls to watch for. These are:

1.) The blindfold test

2.) Transparent eyelids

3.) Overlaid sight

4.) The spoon bending test

The Blindfold Reality Check: The Simplest Reality Check

First is the blindfold reality check. This is easiest reality check of all.

All you do is put on a blindfold and relax into sleep. If at any time you find that you can see the room through the blindfold then you know you’re in a subconscious dream environment and you’re looking at the dream version of your room.

The advantages are that it’s simple and requires no practice Secondly, once it works, there’s no doubt in your mind that it really did work. Also, it’s an ongoing reality check. It’s not something that comes and goes in an instant.

Secret System For Free O.B.E.s That Require No Work

So here’s way you can use the blindfold test for free O.B.E.s that require exactly zero work. The fact is you probably are already having many spontaneous morning O.B.E.s but don’t realize they’re O.B.E.s because you don’t have a system to catch these when they happen. All you need to do is get in the habit of sleeping with a blindfold on. Whenever you wake up and are able to see, you’ll have just gotten a free O.B.E without doing any extra work!

Blindfold Reality Check: Disadvantages

As good as the blindfold test is, it does have its disadvantages For instance you may find the blindfold is distracting and that it’s hard to relax with it on. If you try this method I do recommend getting a padded blindfold in the $20 to $30 range because I find the cheap ones are too uncomfortable to be of any real use.

The second disadvantage is exit blindness. Exit blindness happens a lot especially for new OBEers. When this happens you enter the dream and find that you are blind and so you can’t see with or without the blindfold.

Dream blindness happens a lot and there are solutions to it that we’ll cover later. However, all of these solutions require that you be lucid in the dream so it won’t help if you’re trying to use sight as a reality check.

Transparent Eyelids

One solution is to use the transparent eyelids effect. Transparent eyelids means that you see through your closed eyes into the nonphysical version of your bedroom.

This has the advantage of not wearing a distracting blindfold.

The disadvantage with the transparent eyelids effect is it’s difficult to feel whether your eyelids are really open or closed.

So the way the transparent eyelids check often works is that it’s after the fact. You first become lucid, then you notice you can see, and then you open your physical eyes and wake your physical body up.

Another scenario is that you open your eyes twice without closing them in between. You open them in the O.B.E and then open them again when you wake up physically.

In either case you may not know if you were nonphysically focused until it’s too late and you’re already physical again. So it’s very useful to have a check that works immediately as soon as you have a nonphysical focus.

Overlaid Sight Reality Check

The third reality check to watch for is overlaid sight which happens as soon as you’re nonphysical. When you’re nearing a nonphysical focus you’ll start to split your awareness between your waking surroundings and the dream version of your bedroom. Often you’ll see your nonphysical surroundings from a slightly different angle than your physical surroundings. This makes it look like you have two sets of sight overlaid on top of each other, like two movie projections.

Overlaid sight doesn’t last very long, usually you’ll see your vision flicker back and forth and then stabilize. It’s also rare to achieve overlaid sight because most of the time when you do O.B.E.s your eyes will be closed. Because of this you need a longer lasting check which brings us to the 4th movement free reality check called the “spoon bending” check.

Spoon Bending Reality Check

This brings us to the 4th movement free reality check which helps fix this. This reality check is the spoon bending check.

To do it, just fall asleep with a spoon in your hand.

When you think you might be in an O.B.E, squeeze the spoon and see if it bends.

As long as you don’t move any other part of your body, you can move your fingers slowly and slightly and not disturb your trance. So even though you are moving a little bit this still counts as a movement-free reality check

Kat Black And Waking Awareness Spoon Bending

Kat Black of fork-you.com seems to be able to soften metal in ways that should be impossible.

For example, bending the bowl of a spoon should require more force than a human can physically generate, but she can apparently do it.

On her site she has a tutorial and videos on how she bends metal, I suggest you go check it out. Even if you can’t bend metal physically like she can, it’s still good to see what it’s like for when you do it in an O.B.E.

What Spoon Bending In An O.B.E. Is Like

Here’s what it will be like when you bend a spoon in an O.B.E. The metal will be extremely easy to bend. It’s about like bending a wire twist tie. When you wake up, the spoon will be back to normal

In this section we mentioned exit blindness and how very often in O.B.E.s when you first enter a nonphysical awareness you’ll find that you can’t see. In the next section we’ll cover the most effective and simple ways for fixing exit blindness so you can make the most of each O.B.E.

Nick Newport Metaphysical astral projection, how to lucid dream, insomnia, lucid dreaming, Metaphysical, out of body experiences, robert bruce, sleep paralysis

Here in Lucidology 101 part 5 we’ll cover the exact relaxation routine you can use to fall asleep quickly to cure insomnia and enter waking sleep paralysis for frequent lucid dreams and O.B.E.s.

How To Save A Boatload Of Time On The Relaxation Stage

You don’t have to spend hours relaxing every part of your body to have O.B.E.s. About 90% of your body’s tension is in about 10% of your muscles. If you target just those key areas you can quickly relax enough that your body will interpret it as a signal to sleep.

The Best Place To Start Relaxing

Most books on relaxation say to lay down and start relaxing at your feet and work your way up to your head. That’s not the most effective way to do it because the vast majority of your body’s tension is in your jaws, not your feet.

The jaw is the strongest muscle area in terms of extorted force. The world record for bite strength is 975 foot-pounds for 2 seconds. No other muscle in your body can exert more total force than your jaw muscles and no other muscle holds more tension.

The Top 5 Health Problems From Excess Jaw Tension

Many people go their whole lives and never consciously think to relax their jaws. This causes bruxism, or “teeth grinding” which wears down your teeth and cause other problems such as: o Tooth aches o Headaches o Ear aches o Tinnitus (which is ringing in the ears) o Even dizziness So the very first thing I do before an O.B.E induction or falling asleep is to relax my jaws. This step is absolutely required. It only takes a few seconds so it gives you the most bang for your buck of all the relaxations you can do.

Step 1: Jaw Relaxation

Start with a very firm massage of the meaty part of your upper jaws in front of and below your ears. This is called your “masseter muscle” and is the single biggest culprit for locked up muscle knots in the entire body. Press strongly with your fingers on both sides of your head and get a ‘good hurt’ feeling.

Step 2: Palm Squeeze

The second step is to squeeze on both sides of your jaws with your palms instead of just your fingers. You can use quite a bit of force when you do this because your jaws are quite strong. Let your jaw go as slack as you can while pressing.

Step 3: The Jaw Stretch

It’s common to stretch before and after exercise such as stretching your legs by touching your toes. But have you ever stretched your jaws muscles? You may look silly doing this, but it really goes a long way to relaxing your jaws. So the third step is to relax your jaws as much as you can then use your fingers to pull your jaws open. You may be surprised how much your jaws resist your fingers but by stretching them you can get the tension out.

My grandfather was a professor of a science called relaxology. One of his colleagues could relax his jaws so much that you could wiggle it with your hands and it felt like there was almost nothing holding his jaws on his head. You don’t have to relax your jaws that much but I mention it to give you an idea just how much tension is in your jaws even if you think they’re relaxed.

Step 4: Horizontal Wall Chest Stretch

Step 4 is to stretch your arms and chest against the wall. Place a palm flat on the wall and turn the trunk of your body so that you get a good stretch from the very tips of your fingers, down your forearm, you bicep, shoulder and all across your chest. Exhale all the tension out. Repeat this twice with both arms.

Step 5: Vertical Chest Stretch

Step 5 is to stretch against the wall by placing both palms above your head against the wall and then bending forward. This really targets your shoulder and chest tension. Inhale and exhale fully and slowly 3 times to work all the tension out. Stand up normally, then repeat the vertical chest stretch.

Step 6: Stretch Your Feet

Step 6 is to stretch the bottom of your feet by propping your foot against the wall and leaning forward. This will also give you a good calf stretch. Repeat this on each foot two more times then sit down and massage the individual muscles in the soles of your feet with your hands.

Step 7: Stretch Your Hands

Step 7 is to stretch the palm of each hand by pushing your fingers back with the other hand. This also gives your forearms a nice stretch.

Step 8: Relax Your Shoulders

Step 8 is the last stretching step. Do some slow windmills to relax your shoulders. It’s tempting to skip this step but your shoulders carry almost as much tension as your jaw so it’s important to stretch and relax your shoulder as much as possible.

Step 9: “Pre-roll” To Dissipate Overall Body Tension

For step 9, remember that one purpose of the roll over signal is to get you to roll over which causes you to gradually gather and release tension. Here’s a trick to speed that up or even skip over it.

Lay down in bed and relax a much as you can for 15 seconds or so. Then roll over and relax for a couple more seconds. Roll again and relax Repeat this several times and you’ll relax the rest of your muscles quite quickly.

This works because normally when you stretch one body part to relax it, you have to tense up another part. For instance, to stretch one hand you had to tense up your other hand. By laying down and rolling around for a minute you stretch and relax everything a little bit at a time and get your “roll over” phase done all at once.

Step 10: Stop Drop And Roll

Once you’re done rolling around, step 10 is to start Stop Drop And Roll. Lay flat on your back with your arms above your head and start daydreaming. See Lucidology 101 part 3 for how to do Stop Drop & Roll to fall asleep if you haven’t yet.

Step 11: Start Sleep Breathing

Step 11 is to begin sleep breathing. See Lucidology 101 part 4 for details if you haven’t seen it yet.

Step 12: Roll Eyes To Relax Them

Step 12 is to relax your eyes and the stop micromovements. Roll your eyes around both directions a few times and then let them rest. The idea is to completely forget that your eyes even exist. To do that count 150 heart beats.

Step 13: 150 Heart Beat Count To Forget About Eyes

Focusing on your heart for a long time will make it feel like it’s going to beat its way out of your chest. However if you get up and actually check your pulse you’ll find that it’s beating like normal. The heart pounding sensation is just a trick of the mind which will help to distract you from your eyes.

Step 12: Bring Arms Down To Enter ‘Drop’ Mode

After 150 heart beats you’ve come to step 14 which is to switch on the roll over signal. Drop your arms down to your side and move to step 15 which is to tense and release each muscle group.

Step 15: Tense And Relax Muscles

By now you should be pretty deeply relaxed. Continue to sleep breathe and sense where you still have some tension left. Slightly tense that area for a moment then release it. This will cause you to relax that muscle further than before you tensed it. Start at your jaws and end at your feet.

To do this, count 150 heart beats starting at 300 which tires your brain out a little faster. After every 10 heart beats pause the count and tense and release another muscle group. For instance, when you get to 160 tense and relax your jaws. At 170 tense and release your face, at 180 your neck and so forth. If you lose track of where what number you’re on that’s a good sign that it’s working and you’re falling asleep.

Step 16: ‘Roll’ Phase

When you get to 450 you’ll either be asleep or feeling the roll over signal. If you don’t have a very strong roll signal then just daydream and continue sleep breathing for a while until it’s strong enough. When you really feel the need to roll over you’ve reached step 16 which is to simply roll over and release any remaining tension. Continue sleep breathing and you’ll black out within a few moments.

Warm Socks

Two things that really speed things up are socks and earplugs. You may not realize how much your body temperature drops when you fall asleep but when you’re feet are just a little bit cold it’s really hard to relax. So wear socks even if you don’t think you need them.

Silicone Earplugs

Earplugs are also incredibly valuable for falling asleep fast. You can get them on amazon or Target. The silicone putty earplugs work the best and you can make them last several uses by washing them with soap after each use.

Here’s the complete system, step by step.

o Jaw Massage o Jaw Palm Squeeze o Jaw Stretch o Horizontal Wall Chest Stretch o Vertical Chest Stretch o Stretch Your Feet o Stretch Your Hands o Relax Your Shoulders o “Pre-Roll” To Dissipate Overall Body Tension o Start “Stop, Drop & Roll”: Hands Above Your Head o Start Sleep Breathing o Roll Eyes To Relax Them o 150 Heart Beat Count To Forget About Eyes o Bring Arms Down To Enter To “Drop” Mode o Tense & Relax Muscles That Are Still Tense o Roll

Coming up in Part 6 you’ll find out how to use the sun to avoid the #1 mistake everyone makes in O.B.E.s & how to optimize your brain chemistry for lucidity.

Plus we’ll cover the ONE O.B.E. induction I would use if I was not allowed to use any others.

Nick Newport Metaphysical astral projection, how to lucid dream, insomnia, lucid dreaming, Metaphysical, out of body experiences, robert bruce, sleep paralysis

Here in Lucidology 101 part 12 you’re about to find out the 5 most powerful movement-free exit techniques. These techniques are how you convert sleep paralysis into an O.B.E. and separate from your physical body to enter your nonphysical environment.

Two Transitions To Success, Not Just One!

Recall our two-step strategy for visualization-free O.B.E.s. The first step was to use sleep commands to trick your body into falling asleep. That stage put you in waking sleep paralysis so that your brain enters a theta brain wave and automatically sends you into a subconscious focus without you needing to use visualizations.

The second step is to convert sleep paralysis into an O.B.E using an exit technique.

Exit Techniques: We’re Up To Step 4 – “Separation”

In this section we’ll cover this final stage of an O.B.E induction which is the exit stage where you separate your nonphysical body from your physical body.

The 3 Basic Problems In Completing The Exit

In completing the exit there are 3 basic problems we need to solve:

1. First, that you can’t tell physical body from nonphysical body because they’re overlaid 2. Second, that you can’t separate them because they’re stuck together 3. Third, if you move and you’re not ready to exit, you’ll tense up and ruin your trance

That last problem is a major obstacle. There’s nothing worse than getting into a decent trance then ruining it because you moved physically instead of separating from your body.

So we need “movement free” exit techniques so you can make a bid for an exit and if you’re wrong and you’re not quite deep enough, it’s no big deal.

5 Solutions To The 3 Problems: Movement-free Exit Techniques

So here are the 5 most powerful movement-free exit methods that I’ve tested many times and have found to be highly effective. These are:

1. Open Mouth Exit 2. Gravity Press Exit 3. Safety Cap Exit 4. Focused Awareness With Magnetic Spheres 5. Salvaging Partial Exits Using Limb Creation

Cracking The Safe: The “Open Mouth” Exit Initiator

The first method is the ‘open mouth exit’ and it was discovered by a forum poster named tsunaH. In sleep paralysis 99% of the time even if everything below your neck is paralyzed you can still move your eyes and mouth.

To do this method simply open your mouth and take a few slow deep breaths. Be sure not to breathe too hard or you’ll break the paralysis. By doing this you’ll feel yourself start to separate starting at your head.

This method is a very reliable way to get the exit process kick started. It’s actually more of an ‘exit initiator’ than a full exit method because a lot of times it will get you half way out and then you need to switch to another exit method to complete the separation. However a lot of times once you start the separation using open mouth breathing, you’ll be able to separate completely and get up into your nonphysical bedroom without using any other tricks!

The reason this method works is you’ve split your focus between physical awareness and nonphysical awareness. In sleep paralysis your body below the neck is still physically focused but your eyes and face have entered nonphysical focus. By creating movement in your eyes and face you draw the rest of your focus in to nonphysical awareness.

The “Gravity Press” Exit

The second movement free exit method is the “gravity press” exit. To do this, focus on the feeling of gravity pulling on your body.

In an O.B.E. this will actually cause you to sink through solid objects and you can use this fact to test if you’re nonphysical without moving.

Gravity Press Tips

Make sure not to pull yourself down too far because creating too much of a feeling of heaviness can make the resulting O.B.E more dark and lower energy.

If you lay on your back while looking at the ceiling, you can do a ‘transparent bed’ reality check:

To do that look at the ceiling and gravity press yourself to the floor. As long as you keep your sight focused on the ceiling you’ll see through your bed This can help you be more sure that you really did a gravity press and you really are nonphysical

The “Safety Cap” Exit: Gravity-press With A Twist

You can build on the gravity press exit to make it more powerful. This brings us to the third movement-free exit method called ’safety-cap’. With a safety cap bottle, to open the lid you have to press down and then twist.

What Does That Have To Do With O.B.E. Exits?

The problem with the gravity press method is even if you sink into the bed a few inches you may not be completely sure that you’ve really separated. What you need is a better “selector” to be sure there’s absolutely no question in your mind that you’re nonphysical. To fix this, create the feeling of a force that rotates you around on your belly button so that your head swings around 180 degrees and ends up where your feet are.

Gravity Press + Twist = Safety Cap O.b.e

At that point there is no doubt you’re in an O.B.E and you can get up without fear of accidentally moving your physical muscles and botching the trance. In other words, you just press down and twist and you have an O.B.E.

Major Mistake: The Roll Over Exit

Most books on O.B.E.s tell you to roll over on your side to complete the exit. This is a really bad idea because it’s an all or nothing gamble. Either you succeed and you roll over in to an O.B.E or you move physically and have to start all over again.

On the other hand, because the safety cap exit is also a type of reality check you can first test to see if you’re actually nonphysical. If either the press or the twist stages don’t work, then you know to relax a little deeper and your trance is still in tact.

Your success rate will be many times higher when you use safety cap than if you simply try rolling over.

Magnetic Spheres

Our forth movement free exit method is called “Magnetic Spheres”

I know this is supposed to be ‘visualization-free’ O.B.E. methods… but this one is really easy and it will really help with your exits. So I’m going to sneak it in.

By practicing to focus your awareness while awake, you can better direct your nonphysical body when in an O.B.E.

Imagine a magnetic sphere hovering above your hands. Move the sphere around and feel it pull on your nonphysical body in different directions

You’ll start to get a feeling of a fuzzy ball of awareness around your hands

Magnetic Spheres Multiplication

Double the strength of the sphere to get a stronger feeling. After a few moments double it again. Then double it once more after a bit. Keep doubling it every minute or so until you have a very strong feeling of attraction around your hands.

Remember this is the feeling for when you use gravity press and safety cap. When you want to press out or rotate around, create the feeling of the force you want and complete the exit.

Using Focused Awareness To Pull Yourself Up

Remember with gravity press, one of the disadvantages was that if you press down too far it can make the resulting O.B.E darker and lower energy. One way around that is to use focused awareness to imagine gravity is pulling you up. This is slightly more difficult to do but it actually helps make the O.B.E brighter.

To do this, first put your awareness on the feeling of gravity like normal. Then rotate that feeling around so it’s pulling you up and you’ve created inverse gravity.

Magnetic Sphere Pulls You Up

Another variation is to simply use an imaginary magnetic sphere to overpower gravity and pull you up. Both of these methods work well. I actually am lazy and usually just do gravity press and twist, but you should definitely experiment with creating strange forces and odd angles because they’re very useful for manipulating the world once you’ve transitioned to an O.B.E.

Focused Awareness Resources

Focused awareness is used in many disciplines including qi-gong, tai chi, reiki, and others. It’s also the basis for Robert Bruce’s system called N.E.W. (or New Energy Ways) which is used in O.B.E.s. Check out his book “Astral Dynamics” for more on NEW.

How To Salvage Partial Exits: Limb Creation

A lot of times you’ll make it half-way out of your body but parts will still be stuck. For instance, you might find that you can free your arms but your legs are still glued in place and that even if you use your nonphysical hands to pull your legs out they just won’t budge. This brings us to the fifth movement-free exit technique called “Limb Creation”.

Once you have about half of your body out, instead of trying to get the rest of your limbs out, just imagine a completely new set of legs or arms or whatever is stuck. This is actually much easier than it sounds. You just imagine what it would feel like if your legs were already beneath you and you were already standing on them. Imagine the feeling of pressure on your feet, how your socks feel, and what your toes feel like when you wiggle them against each other.

You’ll quickly lose awareness of the limbs in your physical body and refocus into the copies of your legs that you’ve created. This process actually only takes a couple seconds and is a billion times easier than trying to yank your limbs out of your physical body.

The exit is the last stage of an O.B.E induction, but you probably still have some questions. In the next section we’ll go over the troubleshooting guide. This is the 3 Step System How To You Can Quickly Blow Up Your O.B.E Roadblocks.

If you’ve ever tried to do O.B.E.s or lucid dreams in the past but weren’t able to pull it off and you were left wondering if there was something you were missing, maybe there was some secret missing piece and if you only had that missing piece that things would be a lot easier, well here it is. In this video I’m going to show you the missing piece that I wish I’d known about when I first started.

Congratulations! You’ve Found The Missing Piece!

Here in Lucidology 101 Part 7 we’ll cover the “timer method”. This is a very powerful trick that allows you to cheat and easily trigger as many O.B.E.s as you want. I’ve read pretty much every book on O.B.E.s and I’ve tested every single method I could find. There really is no other method that gives faster results than this. In fact, it’s possible you’ll have your very first O.B.E the very first time you use this. That doesn’t always happen, but quite a few people have written in to tell me that this was the secret that got them over the edge to start having frequent O.B.E.s in just one night.

At the end of this article I’ll show you how you can get a free copy of the Lucidology 101 O.B.E Explorer’s kit so be sure to read to the end for the URL.

The Story So Far:Sleep Triggers To Fall Asleep Fast

So far we’ve learned to put the body to sleep as fast as you can and enter a subconscious focus. You start out awake and alert, on the upper right and end asleep and in a subconscious trance on the lower left. But what we really want looks more like this

What You Want: Hover On The Awake/asleep Threshold

What you want is to “hover on the awake/asleep threshold” so that you slip into a subconscious focus without losing too much awareness by slipping into deep sleep. This way your retain full awareness in your subconscious.

The Main Problem With Tricking Your Body Into Falling Asleep

You may be thinking, “easier said than done!” because what usually happens when people try to have an O.B.E is they just fall asleep and that’s the end of it.

Spontaneous Lucidity While Asleep

The solution most books give is to hope that you somehow magically become aware within the dream spontaneously. The idea is that by telling yourself over and over while you’re awake to become lucid you’ll eventually have lucid dreams just from force of habit alone. This is possible but it’s very unreliable. It takes months of practice to get this to work and even when you can do it, it’s always a matter of luck. You never know for sure if you’re going to have an O.B.E on any given night.

What Can You Do That’s Reliable?

Here’s the secret: what if you could cheat and manufacture your own lucidity trigger so that even if you fell completely asleep you’d still end up having an O.B.E?

Our Secret Weapon Cheat: The Digital Cooking Timer

It turns out such a secret weapon does exist. It’s called a digital cooking timer.

The idea is to fall asleep like normal and don’t even try to stay aware. You set the timer to beep so it wakes you up a few minutes later. By waking up and falling asleep every few minutes without moving you’ve formed a safety net so that you don’t fall too deeply asleep but enter a subconscious focus.

How To Use Hypnotic Fractionation To Have O.B.E.s Easily

This uses a principle from hypnosis called ‘fractionation’. Hypnotic fractionation means that when you are put into trance and then are taken from that trance, the next time you enter trance you’ll enter it more deeply than before. That means that if you can enter even the slightest trance then you can enter a very deep trance just by going in and out of that trance over and over. This is how you can hover on the awake asleep threshold and ease your way into an O.B.E without really having to use a lot of practice or skill.

Remember The “roll Over Word” Sleep Command” Equation:

Remember that everything we covered earlier about the roll signal still applies. This only works when you use the timer and do not move ever at any point.

Simple, Proven Success Formula

If you wake up and fall asleep 4 or 5 times in an hour without moving you’ll start to have spontaneous paralysis, O.B.E vibrations and O.B.E.s. However if you wake up and fall asleep twice, shift position, and then wake up and fall asleep 3 more times then it won’t work nearly as well.

8 Steps To An O.B.E Using Hypnotic Fractionation

So here’s the big picture in a nutshell. First you wake up and fall asleep 4 or 5 times without moving using a timer and the sleep commands from Lucidology 101 parts 3 and 4. This will put you in sleep paralysis. You then use movement-free reality checks which we’ll cover in part 8 to check that you’ve shifted into a nonphysical focus. Then you use an exit method to convert paralysis into an O.B.E or lucid dream. We’ll cover basic exit methods in Lucidology 101 part 12 and advanced exit methods in Lucidology 102.

Timer Options

To do this you have a couple options for timers including cooking timers, timer mp3s and the Lucidology Flash timer.

Using A Digital Cooking Timer

I started out using a $10 cooking timer and it works just fine. To use one of these, memorize the buttons so you can reset it using your thumb without looking at it. Sleep with it in one hand, move ONLY your thumb when resetting it and the rest of your body will stay in paralysis.

Timer Mp3s

Alternately, in your Lucidology explorer’s kit you get timer mp3s that contain the predefined timer setups. To get these, visit www.Lucidology.com

A More Powerful Flash Timer

Finally, you can use the Lucidology Flash timer which also comes in your free Lucidology lucid dream kit. The flash timer allows you to customize your timer setup and change the intervals between the beeps however you want.

Ramp Timer Setup: The Reliable Workhorse

Your timer setup has a giant impact on how many O.B.E.s you have. I’ve spent countless hours testing various timer setups and here is the most reliable workhorse setup. It’s called “ramp” and the intervals are 8 minutes, 4, 8, 12, 16, 20, 20, and then 6 minutes repeating.

Ramp Timer Setup: What To Expect

Here’s what you can expect when you use the ramp setup. During the middle of the 20 minute intervals you’re likely to have lucid dreams and possibly spontaneous O.B.E.s. During the tail end 6 minute intervals you’re likely to have O.B.E.s. Here’s why

Waking Up The Same Time Every Day Using A Timer

If you’ve ever used an alarm clock to wake up at the same time each morning you may have found that you started waking up 5 minutes before the alarm actually started beeping. You had conditioned the subconscious to expect the beep, but it does not like to be shocked awake. So its response is to wake you up before the beep.

Ramp Works By Faking The Subconscious Out

You can use this effect to your advantage by faking the subconscious out. The initial 8 minute interval is used for relaxation. After that the intervals start out short and increase in length, going from 4 up to 20 minutes. By the time you get to the 20 minute interval your subconscious is starting to expect another beep in the next 4 to 16 minutes.

To avoid the shock the subconscious goes on alert at around 4, 8 or 12 minutes. However, during the 20 minute intervals those beeps never come. This is enough to make you become spontaneously lucid in the middle of a dream in expectation of the ‘phantom’ timer beep that never happens.

The Phantom Beep Only Affects The Mind, Not The Body

The phantom beep can also give you waking sleep paralysis because body continues to sleep and doesn’t care about the phantom beep.

Are You Focused In The Dream Or In Your Body?

Whether you get a lucid dream or O.B.E from this depends on where you’re focusing at the moment of the phantom beep: either in a dream or on your physical body.

If you get a lucid dream your clarity level will likely be less than most O.B.E.s. However lucid dreams are often a lot more fun because they often start out in some kind of strange otherworldly area which is usually more fun to explore than the nonphysical version of your physical surroundings.

However, O.B.E.s often have much higher clarity than lucid dreams. When you use the timer method you’ll end up with plenty of each so you can decide which you prefer.

Tail-end O.B.E.s: The Other Half Of The Ramp

The shorter tail end intervals usually result in O.B.E.s rather than lucid dreams. This is because of the hypnotic fractionation effect we mentioned earlier.

O.B.E.s In Short Intervals: Why?

During the short intervals you don’t have time to slip very deeply into sleep like you do with the long intervals. This causes you to hover much more closely on the awake asleep threshold so that when a beep comes you’re more likely to have a physical focus you can use for an O.B.E.

How To Trick Your Body Into Falling Asleep

This is the simplest way to trick your body into falling asleep and feel the paralysis wave. When the timer beeps, your body may wake up for a moment but as long as you stay perfectly still your body will create the paralysis wave and put itself to sleep after 5 or 10 seconds. This is also an excellent time to use the sleep triggers from Lucidology 101 part 4 to command the body into paralysis.

Trick You Can Use Tonight To Have Your 1st Obe

So here’s the actual method to use to have conscious sleep paralysis for the first time or even an O.B.E.

1.) Go to bed at 9 PM

2.) Get up at 4:30 AM

3.) Stay up for 45 minutes until 5:15 AM and avoid lights

4.) Go back to bed and do “Stop Drop And Roll” to start to fall asleep

5.) At the end of S.D.R set your timer to use a ramp timer session. Fall asleep and let the timer wake you up and put you in an O.B.E.

Timer Method Disadvantages

As good as this method is it does have two drawbacks. First is your sleep cycle. The second is false awakenings.

The Timer Method & Your Sleep Cycle

Getting up early in the morning to do O.B.E.s is effective but it can leave you tired the rest of the day. The solution is called “Inductionless O.B.E.s”. Inductionless O.B.E.s are my favorite style of accessing the subconscious because they allow you to have O.B.E.s without messing up your sleep cycle. This is an advanced method that we cover in Lucidology 102 Part 8.

False Awakening Loops

The second disadvantage the timer method has is actually because it’s so powerful. This side effect is called a false awakening loop in which you think you wake up physically but actually wake up into another O.B.E. You may have to wake up several times before you really do wake up in your physical bedroom again.

How To Deal With The False-awakening Loop?

To solve this you basically need a way to take the red pill and figure out where you are and what’s going on. This is called a reality check. And not just any reality check will do, you need a movement-free reality check so that you can do it without disturbing your trance.

Lucidology 101 – Part 8: “the 4 Easiest Ways To Take The Red Pill”

I’ve tested dozens of types of movement free reality checks and boiled them down to the 4 most reliable ones. Be sure to read part 8 next to find out what they are.
