Daniil Dobro (Russia, Vladimir) is a lucid dreamer with eight years of experience. He becomes lucid about three times a month.
– What is the best technique?
– I believe it’s better to study all the main techniques rather than just one popular method. But the best technique for me is SSILD. I have slightly modified it by adding a cleansing of purple oranges during prolonged gazing. Sometimes, it works as a direct method. The essence of the technique is to sleep for five hours, stay awake for 10 minutes, then go back to sleep. You should perform the technique while falling asleep, with each step lasting about five seconds (approximately, without counting seconds):
1. Gazing into the darkness.
2. Listening to sounds.
3. Feeling sensations throughout the body.
Repeat steps 1–3 five times.
Then comes a long cycle (comprising the same three steps), repeated four times, with each step lasting 20–40 seconds. But the first step is different—in this step, you need to imagine the process of peeling purple oranges against a white background, paying attention to the sensations. Usually, I peel two oranges during one step. After completing the long cycle, fall asleep and wait for lucidity. I usually perform all cycles lying on my back. At the end, I change position and fall asleep.
– What is your favorite activity to do in the phase state?
– I often fly in lucid dreams. I have done many things, but overall, I am attracted by the ability to tailor everything to myself. I mostly entertain myself, but I also strive to gain real benefits. I have also slowed down and sped up time. Recently, I opened a small portal by connecting my index finger and thumb. Eventually, I changed the location inside the small portal to the desired one and then, after expanding it, moved through it. By the way, the idea of how to do this came to me in a lucid dream. I had never encountered such a solution before.
– Is this astral projection for you, or is it something that happens in the brain?
– Everything happens in our brain. Often, in dreams, you can notice familiar details from reality. But perhaps the dream is arranged much more complexly than we assume.
