“I just stumbled upon this blog. What could be disadvantages of excessive lucid dreaming?”

Probably nothing, I could see you maybe not getting as restful sleep without going into deeper states of sleep, but I don’t think that should happen. If anything Lucid Dreaming would work like a sleep excersize to improve restfulness as well as the mental benefits of sleep and dreaming.

Darren,
Great post, and love the accompanying diagram. I loaned my copy of LaBerge’s book to a friend back in the 90′s while still in the Navy and never got it back. I’ll have to give this a shot, although I’d really love to give the Silva thing a shot too!

Breathe in and out at every point and give thanks for each point. Think how each point on the drawing helps you get through life. Learned this when I was 13. A foundation of sorts.

Thank you everyone for the discussion!

Lyds and Staarlyte: Hmm. Thanks for pointing me in this direction. I’ve done some research and discovered that the Silva Method appears to use a similar “body scanning” relaxation such as this one, but instead of the relaxation being the end goal, the Silva Method uses the state of relaxation (the Alpha Level) as a platform from which to program the subconscious mind (and to program the rest of the Universe, for that matter) to effect positive change in one’s life. From my perspective, it looks like a combination of self-hypnosis and creative visualization. I’ve begun working through the free lessons given at http://www.silvaultramindsystem.com, and I’m looking forward to getting better at reaching the Alpha state each time. (“Every day and in every way, I’m getting better and better!”)

Robert: Wonderful! A meditation podcast. I’m glad you found me, so now I’ve found you.

Erik: Good information, and don’t worry about the spelling. I appreciate your effort and your ideas. Thanks!

This is the De Silva Mind Control Method

first of all, it is The Silva Method, and this is not it.
