    Focus of attention
    Interestingly, I had a lot of trouble sustaining lucidity when I just started to learn lucid dreaming. I often experienced that I woke up, or dreamt I woke up, after just simply orientating in the dream world. Somehow it felt like I could not use many cognitive resources/thinking to prevent myself from waking up. Every time I tried to reflect on my attained lucidity, reflect on what I wanted to do in the lucid dream, or even thought about my lucid dream plan, I felt like loosing "touch" with dream reality ... which led to waking up. Very frustrating, because reflection is an integral part of lucid dreaming! Recognize these symptoms? Well, here's the solution.

    After some experimentation in my own lucid dreams, I discovered the golden principle of the dream world. Anything you pay attention to, will grow. This means that your focus of attention is a crucial factor in establishing an enjoybale stable dream world. If you pay more attention to yourself ("reflecting on MY attained lucidity, reflecting on what I wanted to do in the lucid dream, or even thought about MY lucid dream plan"), you as yourself will grow ... resulting in the dissolvement of the dream world ... because you don't pay any attention to it anymore. Hence, the trick for longer lucid dreams, is to pay more attention to your experience of the DREAM WORLD, instead of paying attention to what YOU are experiencing. Doesn't that sound natural? Keep your interaction with the dream world alive as much as possible.

    This is why many novice lucid dreamers who are experiencing their first lucid dreams, have trouble sustaining lucidity. They are (obviously) more concerned with THEIR (first) experience of lucid dreaming ... than the experience of the DREAM WORLD itself. This lack of attention leads naturally to the dissolvement of the dream. They are more interested in themselves than they are to the dream world.

    For advanced lucid dreamers, notice how The Spinning Technique would not solve this inherent problem. Although the Spinning Technique stimulates the generation of REM-sleep, it does not guarantee stability. It's a tool for prolonging dream sleep, not inducing dream stability. At least that is what I'm experiencing.

    The big challenge is therefore to maintain a balance between your involvement in the dream world (doing things, interacting, etc) to keep the dream "alive", and reflecting on your experience of the lucid dream state. I would recommend, to seriously PLAN your lucid dream prior to inducing the lucid dream itself (revisit my learning program on the site!), so you don't have to reflect on your lucid dream intentions WHILE dreaming lucid. Seriously rehearse your lucid dream plan before you go to bed! Then, while you are having your lucid dream, don't pay too much attention to your lucid dream plan anymore, but most of all stick to the flow of the dreamplot. Integrate your lucid dream plan with the dreamplot that you are experiencing... don't interrupt it and induce your own lucid dream from the start. This will most likely lead to waking up. Keep paying attention to the dream (by walking, interacting and doing stuff; keep yourself busy) and naturally implement your lucid dream plan step by step when possible.

    If you don't pay any attention to your dreams, your dreams won't pay any attention to you!

    Have fun!

    Normalcy

    People from the (rapidly splintering) "mainstream" of society in Europe and the United States today take a peculiar pleasure in considering themselves "normal" in comparison to legal offenders, political radicals, and other members of social outgroups. They treat this "normalcy" as if it is an indication of mental health and moral righteousness, regarding the "others" with a mixture of pity and disgust. But if we consult history, we can see that the conditions and patterns of human life have changed so much in the past two centuries that it is impossible to speak of any lifestyle available to human beings today as being "normal" in the natural sense, as being a lifestyle for which we adapted over many generations. Of the lifestyles from which a young woman growing up in the West today can choose, none are anything like the ones for which her ancestors were prepared by centuries of natural selection and evolution.

    It is more likely that the "normalcy" that these people hold so dear is rather the feelings of normalcy that result from conformity to a standard. Being surrounded by others who behave the same way, who are conditioned to the same routines and expectations, is comforting because it reinforces the idea that one is pursuing the right course: if a great many people make the same decisions and live according to the same customs, then these decisions and customs must be the right ones.

    But the mere fact that a number of people live and act in a certain way does not make it any more likely that this way of living is the one that will bring them the most happiness. Besides, the lifestyles associated with the American and European "mainstream" (if such a thing truly exists) were not exactly consciously chosen as the best possible ones by those who pursue them; rather, they came to be suddenly, as the results of technological and cultural upheavals. Once the peoples of Europe, the United States, and the world realize that there is nothing necessarily "normal" about their "normal life," they can begin to ask themselves the first and most important question of the next century: Are there ways of thinking, acting, and living that might be more satisfying and exciting than the ways we think, act, and live today?

    You know what everyone's greatest fear is? It is that all the dreams we have, all the crazy ideas and aspirations, all the impossible romantic longings and utopian visions can come true, that the world can grant our wishes. People spend their lives doing everything in their power to fend off that possibility: they beat themselves up with every kind of insecurity, sabotage their own efforts, undermine love affairs and cry sour grapes before the world even has a chance to defeat them... because no weight could be heavier to bear than the possibility that everything we want is possible. If that is true, then there really are things at stake in this life, things to be truly won or lost. Nothing could be more heartbreaking than to fail when such success is actually possible, so we do everything we can to avoid trying in the first place, to avoid having to try.

    Téměř veškerá skutečnost, vnímaná smysly, zpracovávaná a hodnocená vědomím, je efemérním konstruktem, který nabízí společnost, který si zvnitřňujeme a který svými činy rovněž spoluutváříme a aktualizujeme. Stálé trvání této sociální reality je rovněž konstruktem. Celý koncept sociální reality neustále vzniká a znovu se aktualizuje v jediném bodě -- přítomnosti, stejně tak, jako se neustále aktualizuje obsah operační paměti počítače (která by nebýt neustálého znovu-naplňování daty a elektrickým signálem během okamžiku celá zanikla).

    Pro správné vykonávání psychiatrie, a také tradingu, je třeba neztrácet ze zřetele společný hlavní princip: význam soustředění se na realitu a schopnosti vidět svět takový, jaký skutečně je. Abyste mohli žít zdravě, musíte žít s očima dokořán otevřenýma. Abyste mohli být dobrým traderem, je třeba hrát na trzích s očima dokořán otevřenýma, být si vědom skutečných trendů a obratů a nemarnit čas a svou energii v lamentacích či probíráním různých "kdyby"

    So here's the cosmic joke. If the goal was your life purpose, and you achieved it, what would happen? You'd stop. But once you stop, there is no precession, no side-effects - and it's the side -effect, not the goal, that is your life purpose.

    Humans are MEANT to be IN MOTION.

    Fuller looked at the fact that NO ANIMAL HAD TO EARN A LIVING. They are just doing what they are supposed to do. If they do that, then nature & God looks after them.
