Lucid Dreaming Techniques
When attempting some of the techniques in this
book, you may have some frightening experiences,
such as falling or shaking sensations. Although
the authors attest these are not dangerous, you
should avoid techniques that create these
sensations if you would prefer not to experience
them.
Some of the drugs may have side-effects. It is
recommended you research drugs further online
and/or with your doctor or general practitioner
before using them.
Additionally, the
placebo effect
has a major effect on dreaming. If you believe
that dream characters act dull and lifelessly,
they are far more likely to do so. If you
believe they can be creative, original, and
surprising, they are far more likely to be. Much
of the content of your dreams is affected by the
placebo effect. Remember that the easier you
think it is to dream lucidly, the easier it will
be.
Many of the techniques and “facts” presented on
these pages are not backed up by research. This
is not to say that these techniques do not work,
only that they may be placebos or be ineffective
much of the time.
