Form the clear intention to:
1. Have Lucid Dreams and Out of Body Experience tonight.
2. Keep absolutely still upon every awakening and to do the Protocols B and C described below.
B. Protocol To Fall Asleep:
Feel a red ཨ at the throat.
C. Protocol At Every Awakening:
1. Try to re-enter the dream you just exited from. If that fails, test to see if you are already in the hypnagogic or hypnopompic state by trying to rub fingers or clap and rub hands. If you are in the state, then exit the body. Next, peer closely at any hand to bring light and color to the dream world and then off you go. But, if not in those states, proceed to do the Non-Reactive Relaxation with Anchoring, which follows below.
2. Keep absolutely still and let go of heavy thoughts with a non-reactive attitude. Don't react to any thoughts or feelings or sensations. Just let them be. Don't try to do anything.
3. In the background of your mind, you could subtly use the breath to help you let go and relax.
4. With eyelids closed, gently gaze at the void in front at any images, if any, that appears. This is the anchoring aspect which prevents you from drifting off to sleep. Don't gaze too hard, just gently. Otherwise, you will be be in a state of doing. Remember, you should maintain a mental attitude of Non-Reactivity, i.e. not doing anything. Use the analogy of a ship and the anchor. You are the ship and the chain is awareness. The image in front is the anchor. Too much awareness and you are exerting too much effort. Too little awareness and you drift off to sleep. Just apply very light awareness to stay awake. A subtle balancing act. Remember to relax your eyeballs and eyelids.
To summarize:
Perform the test: finger-hand-rub-clap. Then, let go of thoughts and feelings by not reacting to them. Use the breath to relax while anchoring in the images behind closed eyelids.
