I think the old fashioned term for that is subliminal suggestion.In these last 6 months I am using guided lucid dreams, guided visualisation and hypnosis visualisation to help me retrain my brain and deeply heal some issues and it does wonder for me.
What I understood is that when I can enter a deep state of relaxation and allow the conscious part of my mind to rest, I can have the unconscious part to work positively to heal me, to manifest what I need, to bring my soul in many beautiful healing worlds....
...On this planet.... for free... without any alcohol or drugs!
There are a lot of things happening when the couscous mind is sleeping to digest and process things...but I recently discovered we can be more causative on programming some work to be done, for example, make change in thoughts and cognitions, like healing fears and anxiety. Also, I think the intuition works better when conscious mind is at rest.
It's a complete new world to explore since our conscious mind is only about 10% of our
ressources and scientists now believe that almost all la programmes, processed by the unconscious mind.
My dad was very knowledged in this field and trained us to visualisation and self suggesting when we were small kids.
When I had school exams, I would record important stuff on a tape and played it (90 min) when I was sleeping. It always helped me.
I recently completed a course at the Essex business school and it was difficult to memorize key bullet points so I listen to my podcasts at night when sleeping, which was way easier for me.
They are just a personnal experience but it worth people try to explore this unknown very rich world that we call: sleep.
What conditions would have to be fulfilled for you to consider that you were awake?https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lucid_dream
On extremely rare occasions, I have had a lucid dream.
I am not awake but during the dream I realize that I am dreaming.
When it becomes lucid I become like a god in the dream (but not in reality).
I think the old fashioned term for that is subliminal suggestion.
Works well for some.
Good for you. Scientologists often insist their experiences can only be obtained by and through Scientology, so they use different words for the same thing.I first heard of being awake while the body was asleep while auditing Mystic (Gordon Bell) back at FCDC, but not in terms of "lucid dreaming" but rather being conscious of the present time reality of the bedroom while the body slumbered. I have since then often experienced the same thing.
Thanks, Lotus. The link didn't work for me, though.I had a check with these 2 apk and it has changed over the last years...only limited time free trials are now offered or either very limited features. Price to unlock it may appear expensive for some.
Meanwhile,
for adults who wish to give a try at a guided lucid dream, here is one experience with a guy. I am using many of his guided meditation with confidence.
If you want to insure there is nothing you disagree with, you can listen the first time, only to chech the content.
Veda, thanks for that pic of Muldoon.
Another state of consciousness?
Good for you. Scientologists often insist their experiences can only be obtained by and through Scientology, so they use different words for the same thing.
So you know, "achieving consciousness of present time reality" is usually called mindfulness. However, if you were sleeping, or as you put it, "the body slumbered", then it is usually called lucid dreaming, rather than something like "going exterior." Going exterior sounds so much more impressive, though, doesn't it? Especially if you think other people don't do it all the time. They do.
There is a terrific app you can use where you can become relaxed and aware of your environment whenever you want. The first time takes only 10-20 minutes. Emma turned me onto it, and it's wonderful. It's also free: https://www.headspace.com/headspace-meditation-app
Funny you should say that, I was fast asleep with the TV on and woke to see pictures of her mangled automobile in that tunnel as well. I'm not so sure about the shock, awe and sorrow, although it was a terrible way to go.<snip>
I was living in Dorchester when Princess Di punched out and I was one of the first in Boston to hear of it because I'd left my television on. The body was sound asleep and I was listening to the report exterior and it didn't take long to realize "hey! This isn't a dream!" so I shook the poor miserable corpus delecti out of it's pleasant rest and listened with the same shock and awe and sorrow we all felt except for the scientologists who just don't give a shit about anything that happens in the "wog" world, the oblivious arseholes.
In New England we speak the best English anywhere here in America.Funny you should say that, I was fast asleep with the TV on and woke to see pictures of her mangled automobile in that tunnel as well. I'm not so sure about the shock, awe and sorrow, although it was a terrible way to go.
Why are you using the English spelling for arseholes, isn't it assholes where you come from?
There was a course using this to help people to quit smoking and a few other things some time ago. That was subliminal suggestion.Thanks for the info @The_Fixer
What daddy thought us is autosuggestion, Coué
method. It was long ago.

Well, the term "engram" was in earlier use by, I think, neurologists. It's not the sort of term that you could synchronistically dream up by coincidence, I don't suppose (and I seem to recall that 'comanome' was the previously-used term anyway).Veda, thanks for that pic of Muldoon.
I'm reading his 1929 book The Projection of the Astral Body (free pdf.) Interestingly, he uses the term "exteriorization". Odds are that the Hubbs read the book and commandeered the term. Or perhaps an earlier (1921) book "The Problems of Psychical Research" by Hereward Carrington, which also uses the term.
