The Indirect Method: Step-by-Step Instructions

Lucid Dreaming Mask — Practice Effectively

Lucid Dreaming App — Dream Journal, Dream Tracker & Lucid Dreaming Community

So, you have decided to experience out-of-body sensations and want to achieve this as quickly as possible. To that end, here we present a brief description of the easiest method – cycles of indirect techniques. This is a universal and most effective way to obtain a lucid dream experience. It has been refined by Phase Research Center’s work with thousands of people all over the world. The secret to indirect techniques is to perform them upon awakening, when the human brain is physiologically quite close to lucid dreaming state, or still in it.

Interesting Fact!

Indirect techniques are mainly to thank for our 80% success rate over only 2 days of attempts at three-day seminars, even in groups of 50 people and more. Once, more than half of the group had a lucid dream experience by the second day, and most had two or more experiences.

Cycles of indirect techniques consist of attempts to separate immediately upon awakening, and if that is unsuccessful, then quickly cycling through techniques over the course of a minute until one of them works, after which it is possible to separate from the body. Usually, 1 to 5 properly performed attempts are all that is necessary to obtain results.

The method works extremely well both when awakening from a daytime nap, as well as in the middle of the night. However, we will be concentrating on the optimum strategy – the deferred method – which allows for numerous attempts to be had in a single day. This substantially increases the probability of success occurring in only 1 to 3 days.

How to lucid dream tonight: the easiest technique

Step 1: Sleep 6 Hours and Then Wake Up with an Alarm Clock

(You may skip the step)

On a night before a free day when you won’t have to wake up early, go to bed at your usual time and set your alarm so that you’ll only sleep for about 6 hours. When the alarm goes off, you must get up to drink a glass of water, go to the bathroom, and read these instructions for lucid dreams once again. Do not attempt any techniques before going to bed the night before, no matter what the case. You just need to lie down and get some sound sleep. The sounder you sleep over these 6 hours, the better your chances of getting results.

Step 2: Go Back to Sleep with an Intention to Have a Lucid Dream

(You may skip the step)

After 3 to 50 minutes of being awake, go back to bed and concentrate your attention on how you will perform cycles of indirect techniques upon each subsequent awakening in order to leave your body (the same as experience a lucid dream) and implement your prepared plan of action. No need to set the alarm clock this time. Each subsequent awakening should occur naturally. If it’s too bright in the room, you can wear a special eye-mask. If it’s loud – use earplugs.

Out-of-body travel. Best Technique

Meanwhile, focus your attention on how you’re going to try to wake up without moving your physical body. This isn’t mandatory, but it will substantially increase the effectiveness of the indirect techniques.

Now, sleep for 1 to 3 hours, but take advantage of natural awakenings that occur during this period of time. They will happen much more often than usual. After each attempt – whether successful or not for lucid dreams – you must fall back asleep with that very same intention of waking up and trying again. In this way, you can make many attempts over the course of a single morning. Up to a quarter of those attempts will be successful, even for novices (70 to 95% of them will be successful for experienced practitioners of lucid dreamings and out-of-body travel).

Step 3: Separate the Instant You Awaken

How to lucid dream tonight: the easiest technique

If you cannot wake up or don’t remember about the method at this moment, just download this Practical alarm clock and start in 2-3 hours before final awakening. 

Each time you wake up again, try not to move or open your eyes. Instead, immediately try to separate from your body. Up to 50% of success with indirect techniques comes during this simple first step – one that is so simple that people don’t even suspect that it could work.

In order to separate from your body (to get an OBE or a lucid dream), simply try to stand up, roll out, or levitate. Try to do it with your own perceived (i.e. subtle) body, but without moving your physical muscles. Remember that it will feel just like normal physical movement. When the moment comes, don’t think too hard about how to do it. During those first moments after awakening, stubbornly try to separate from your body any way that you can and no matter what. Most likely, you’ll intuitively know how to do it. The most important thing is not to think too hard and not to lose those first seconds of awakening.

Step 4: Cycling Techniques after Attempts to Separate

If immediate separation doesn’t work out – which would become apparent after 3-5 seconds – start right then and there to alternate between 2 to 3 of the techniques that are most straightforward to you, until one of them works. When this happens, you can try to separate again and get a lucid dream. Choose 2 to 3 of the following five techniques so that you can alternate through them during awakenings:

Rotation

For 3 to 5 seconds, try to imagine rotating to either side along your head-to-toe axis as vividly as possible. If no sensations arise, switch to another technique. If a real or even slight sensation of rotation arises, focus your attention on this technique and rotate even more energetically. As soon as the sensation of rotating becomes stable and real, you should try to separate again using it as a starting point.

Swimmer technique

For 3 to 5 seconds, try to imagine as decidedly as possible that you are swimming or simply making swimming motions with your arms. Try to feel it no matter what, and as vividly as you can. If nothing happens, switch to another technique. There is no need to switch techniques if the sensation of swimming arises. Instead, intensify the sensations that arise. Afterwards, the real sensation of swimming in water will come to you. That’s already a lucid dream – and there’s no need for separation when you’re already in a lucid dream. However, if such sensations occur while you’re in bed instead of a body of water, then you will need to employ a separation technique. Use the swimming sensations as a starting point.

Observing images

Peer into the void before your closed eyes for 3 to 5 seconds. If nothing occurs, switch to another technique. If you see any kind of imagery, peer into it until it becomes realistic. Once it is, separate from the body right then and there, or allow yourself to be pulled into the imagery. When peering at imagery, it’s important not to scrutinize details, lest the image wash away. You’ll need to look through the picture, which will make it more realistic.

Hand visualization

For 3 to 5 seconds, imagine vividly and decidedly that you are rubbing your hands together close to your eyes. Try no matter what to feel them in front of you, to see them, and even to hear the sound of them rubbing. If nothing happens, switch to another technique. If any of the above sensations start to arise, then keep with the technique and intensify it until it becomes totally realistic. Afterwards you can try to separate from the body, using the sensations arising from the technique as a start-off point.

Phantom wiggling

Try to wiggle your perceived hands or feet for 3 to 5 seconds. Do not move a muscle under any circumstances, and do not imagine the movement itself. For example, try to intensively press down and then up, wiggle to the left and right, and so on. If nothing occurs, switch to another technique. If a slight or sluggish sensation of real movement suddenly arises, then focus your attention on the technique, trying to increase the range of motion as much as you can. Once you can move by at least 4 inches, immediately try to separate from your body starting off from the sensations arising from the technique.

All that you need to do for each attempt is alternate between 2 to 3 techniques for 3 to 5 seconds each. This leads to indirect techniques cycles, where the practitioner alternates one technique after another over the course of a minute in search of the one that works. It is very important to do no less than 4 cycles of 2 to 3 techniques during an attempt. Remember – even if a technique doesn’t work immediately, that doesn’t mean that it will not work on the very next cycle of techniques, if not just a bit later. That’s precisely why it’s necessary to stubbornly alternate techniques, performing no less than 4 complete cycles, but all within no longer than a minute. If you were wonder how to have lucid dreams, that the best way for it!

Just repeat the above using the techniques that come most naturally to you, and you’ll open yourself up to a whole new universe of lucid dreanming and out-of-body experience!

If you take 20 to 30 minutes out of your day to simply train the techniques and the procedure, the method will be remembered and work better. This will substantially increase the success of attempts upon awakening.

Dream consciousness is also considered to be a phase experience. If you suddenly realize that you’re dreaming while asleep, then that’s already the phase! You should therefore proceed to implement your plan of action and stabilize the state. If dream consciousness does arise, it would be a side effect of doing technique cycles upon awakenings. This side effect is quite common – always be ready for it.

Step 5: After Attempts to Induce Lucid Dreams and OBEs

How to lucid dream tonight: the easiest technique

Fall back asleep if you can after each attempt (whether successful or not) in order to make another attempt to obtain lucid dreams upon your next awakening. That way you’ll not only be able to have a lucid dream in one day, but also to get it several times on the very first day!

Even the most unsuccessful attempt should last no longer than a minute. If nothing happens over that period of time, it’s much more effective to fall asleep and catch the next awakening, as opposed to stubbornly trying to squeeze results out of the current attempt.

The Phase. Shattering the Illusion of Reality

“All my life I sought an elegant solution to one odd riddle. I sought it from Siberia to California, from the field of neurophysiology to quantum physics, and in illegal experiments on thousands of people. But the answer I found sent me into shock and changed my entire perception of reality. Unlike others, I offer not only a new perspective on the world, but also step-by-step practices that can shake the pillars of your limited reality, and give you revolutionary new tools for obtaining information, self-healing, travel, entertainment, and much more.”
