The new book Programming Your Lucid Dreams offers a new approach to the practice of lucid dreaming. Author Von Braschler encourages readers to actively “program” their dream reality to gain full control over the storyline, setting, and time. The book covers a wide range of techniques, from preparing the body and mind to creating personal “dream maps” and staying safe in altered states of consciousness. It’s more of a practical manual, though many of its methods lean toward an esoteric approach.
The author claims that readers will be able to enjoy lucid dreams and use them to achieve goals, explore the depths of the subconscious, and even interact with other dreamers. Special emphasis is placed on visualization and concentration, as well as forming clear intentions before sleep.
Here’s an example of step-by-step exercises from the book:
1. Create the perfect setting: a quiet space, soft lighting, and comfortable clothing.
2. Relax: breathe deeply, imagine chakra colors, and gradually relax your body and clear your mind.
3. Next comes visualization. Picture the place you want to visit in your dream. Memorize the details and “store” the image in your subconscious—it will be your guiding star.
4. Allow yourself to leave your body. Remember, it’s safe, and you can always return.
5. Begin your journey. Either transition directly into the scene, or fall asleep with the intention of returning to it.
6. At the end, shift your focus back to your body—you will return automatically.
