The first time we celebrated Phase Day was in 2013. Shortly before the 9th anniversary of the site aing.ru, phase state researcher Michael Raduga proposed to create a holiday when all the practitioners of lucid dreams, out-of-body experiences, as well as astral projections, and even people suffering from sleep paralysis could celebrate what really unites them, and remind themselves that they are a community.
When it came to selecting the date, Michael immediately suggested the winter solstice (December 21 or 22, depending on the year), because this is the longest night, which is conducive to more experiences of awareness in dreams, leaving the body, or entering the astral – that is, the phase states. Each practitioner was invited to offer their own suggestion but, on average, 90% of voters across all social networks opted for December 21.
In addition to it being the longest night of the year, many people also noted the symbolism of the date 21.12: “If you add up the numbers, we get a six, which is the number of power. In the phase state, you can do incredible things that didn’t work out before”; “Such a sensational date in 2012. We were predicted the end of the world, a quantum leap, and the beginning of a new era. Let it be Phase Day.”
The winter solstice is celebrated by almost all cultures around the world. For example, in China, the Dongzhi festival is held on the longest night of the year to celebrate the birth of a new cycle. In ancient Greece, it was believed that on this day the god of the underworld, Hades, climbed up to Olympus to show his face. And in Russia it is the day that marks the national holiday Kolyada.
This date should not be confused with Lucid Dreaming Day, which is celebrated on April 12 and is dedicated specifically to lucid dreams – just one of the phase states.
We sincerely wish you a successful phase experience tonight! Long sleep is the key to success. Do a reality check during the day, form an intention to become conscious in a dream before going to bed, do indirect practices in the morning, and then remember your goals in the phase state! Happy holiday!
