Lucid Dreaming Series

Welcome to the world of lucid dreaming. This series is

designed to teach you how to program and consciously

participate in your own personal dreamscape.

Clinical research suggests that focusing on the dream

you wish to experience while remembering that you

can consciously participate in your dream state can

dramatically increase your chance of success. The

Lucid Dreaming Series provides a substantial advantage

for those interested in lucid dreaming by incorporating

the hemispheric synchronization (Hemi-Sync ® ) sound

technologies. The Hemi-Sync ® sound patterns on these

exercises were designed to facilitate the brain-wave

states found in naturally occurring sleep cycles.

Accordingly, each of the first three exercises is 90

minutes in length.

Please note the Lucid Dreaming Series was originally

designed to take advantage of one human 90-minute

sleep cycle. In 1999, when the series was first released,

the only playback format that could reliably deliver a

recording of that length was the audio cassette.

Therefore, like many of our earlier Hemi-Sync ® titles,

you will hear references to the work “tape” on these

recordings. Please disregard any verbal instructions in

the exercises that refer to tapes, cassette players or

auto-reverse functions, which no longer apply to the

digital format of these exercises.

Furthermore, current digital technology, such as the

AC3 format (DVD) has allowed us to create recordings

much longer than the 90-minute parameter originally

imposed by cassette length. With the expanded capacity

of DVD, Exercise 4 is designed for a full eight-hour sleep

period to support your lucid dreaming practice. This

recording is brand new and replaces Exercise 4 of the

original tape series.

Finally, we are often asked if digital compression

technologies degrade the quality of the Hemi-Sync ®

tones or their ability to support expanded states of

awareness. The answer is no. Our Hemi-Sync ® signals

are laboratory tested before they are released into

commercial recordings. After several research studies,

we have concluded that compression methods that

emulate “CD quality” or better will preserve the

integrity of the Hemi-Sync ® signals. We do not,

however, recommend compressing our audio below

CD-quality (128kbs), nor do we recommend

compressing an already compressed audio file (such as

the exercises in this series).

Getting started

To begin, you will need stereo headphones and a DVD

player. Alternatively, if you prefer to work without

headphones, position yourself between your left and

right speakers for optimum effects. Following are some

helpful hints:

Remember that lucid dreaming is a skill that is

mastered through practice and intention. Don’t get

discouraged if you don’t achieve lucidity

immediately upon dreaming. Initially, you may find

that you are simply developing greater recall of your

dream content. With practice and intention, you will

achieve greater success with lucid dreaming.

Establishing your intention is important. Take time

before entering the sleep state to prepare for this

new adventure. Many find that writing down a

desired dream scenario helps to circumvent the

seemingly random nature of the dream state.

Keep a dream journal. A journal will help you recall

the events of your dreams over time. Frequently,

paying attention to dream content can help in

solving the problems encountered in everyday life.

Keeping a journal can help you monitor your

progress in becoming lucid dreaming during the

dream state.

Exercise 1 introduces you to the stages of sleep. You

will learn a proven method of deep relaxation and

move into a state known as hypnogogia . We refer to this

state as Focus™ 10. This is the familiar state, often rich

in imagery or sound, which we all experience just

before losing consciousness in sleep.

Although you would normally lose consciousness

before the beginning of deep sleep, the Hemi-Sync ®

sound patterns on Exercise 1 will assist you in

maintaining awareness for a short time. You will hear

the sound of rainfall accompanied by affirmations to

help you know that lucid dreaming is possible. The

sounds of rainfall and Hemi-Sync ® will assist you in

moving into state 3 and stage 4 sleep (also known as

deep sleep). The affirmations and rainfall will continue

during your natural sleep period. When your dream

cycle (REM sleep) begins, you will be reminded that

“you are dreaming now”. This occurs approximately

1 hour and 26 minutes into the sleep period. After a few

minutes you will be encouraged to wake up fully so you

might train yourself to become aware during the dream

state. Don’t forget to record your experiences in a

dream journal following the exercise.

Note: Exercise 1 is designed to awaken you at the end of

the 90-minute sleep cycle. Therefore, use the exercise

when it is not necessary for you to get uninterrupted

sleep. Work with Exercise 1 until you are comfortable

with this portion of the training, then move in to Exercise

Exercise 2 employs a simple counting method,

accompanied by the appropriate Hemi-Sync ® signals, to

move you through the relaxation process and into

Focus 10. You will then be introduced to the creative

imagination sequence and asked to incorporate your

desired dream scenario with the sound of rainfall. You

might imagine yourself simply walking in the rain or

perhaps you would prefer to imagine something more

elaborate. It is important to engage yourself fully in the

experience during this time.

Once again you will follow the sound of rainfall and

Hemi-Sync ® into deep sleep and be reminded that “you

are dreaming now” at the appropriate time. This tape

will not awaken you. The sounds will simply fade and

present an opportunity for personal decision and

action.

Note: Exercise 2 s designed to play one time through its

90-minute cycle. Ideally, you should allow time to

participate in whatever degree of lucidity you achieve for

as long as it lasts. Again, it is recommended that you

record your experiences. Work with Exercise 2 until you
