Scientists finally find out sleep can be used to solve problems
Posted by: | CommentsBetter than never, scientists finally find out that sleep can be used to solve problems. According to a story on BBCNews. Scientists tested whether “incubating” a problem allowed a flash of insight, and found it did, especially when people entered a phase of sleep known as REM.
Volunteers who had entered REM or rapid eye movement sleep - when most dreams occur - were then better able to solve a new problem with lateral thinking.
Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences has published the US work. In the morning of the test day, 77 volunteers were given a series of creative problems to solve and were told to mull over the problem until the afternoon either by resting but staying awake or by taking a nap monitored by the scientists. Compared with quiet rest and non-REM sleep, REM sleep increased the chances of success on the problem-solving task.
The study at the University of California San Diego showed that the volunteers who entered REM during sleep improved their creative problem solving ability by almost 40%. Read More→
Connecting with the self to explore probabilities and possibilities
Posted by: | CommentsI had difficulty to fall asleep last night I was so energized by the meditation I did yesterday I couldn’t fall asleep.
Also the other day, I wrote about a nap and I had a very vivid dream, it was so vivid that when I woke up I was disoriented, I wondered where I was, I wondered where is the guy I was talking to in the dream, I was receiving some instruction… then I realized I was in my apartment not in the dream location.
Now, I found out what this is all about, I guess it demands some background information to understand but here it is, during the sleep we connect with more of the self that we really are within our psyche we evaluate probabilities and possibilities to create our experiences in waking life. This incident I had is just that I was able to quickly shift from my “dream” self to my waking self and retain the memory of it.
In a book by Robert Perterson “Out-of-Body Experiences: How to Have Them and What to Expect
”. He wrote about this aswell:
My first OBE, with the split-consciousness, showed me that parts of the psyche can be very active during sleep. But I never considered myself an astral social worker by night. That is, until the morning of Tuesday, September 1, 1981, when I had my 46th OBE.
Sometime after midnight, I unexpectedly woke up out of my body. When I awoke, I was standing next to my bed, in the middle of my bedroom. I was a bit surprised, but before I could gather my wits about me, I was “put under” by my subconscious. It felt as if I were knocked out by a professional anesthesiologist.
A while later, I woke up out of my body a second time. Again, I was standing in the middle of my
bedroom. This experience was also cut short when I was “put under” by my subconscious.
It seemed an hour or so passed. Then, just like my first OBE, I slowly started to become more conscious and I was aware of having multiple consciousness. My awareness increased until I was fully conscious, but this time my conscious self was an observer. I was allowed to watch with astral vision, but I wasn’t in control. Another part of me was running the show, doing some very serious work, and knew all the tools of the trade. What I saw was astounding. Read More→
Trick Your Brain To Sleep
Posted by: | CommentsTo get a solid night’s sleep, many turn to medications, herbs and even alcohol — but what if you could trick your brain into falling asleep? A new study says this is possible.
An old method of treatment for epilepsy and attention deficit/hyperactivity disorder shows promise as a treatment for insomnia. In instrumental sensorimotor rhythm conditioning (ISC), patients shape their brain activity by watching a feedback screen and adjusting their behavior accordingly. To encourage sleep, participants in the study used physiological relaxation and positive thinking to mold their brainwaves into a certain shape. Read More→
Better, Longer Lucid Dreams
Posted by: | CommentsAlmost all seekers of the truth come at some point with the idea that through lucid dreaming they can learn something more, from my experience lucid dreaming changed my overview about the reality.
In certain occasion I had dreams and lucid dreams stronger and more real than my waking life, for the last few years I never really worked to have lucid dreams, they just happened as a result of my intense work on meditation, Kundalini 
and energy work.
If you never had a lucid dream and you wish to have you can succeed very quickly within 30-40 days.
First the possibility to have a lucid dream must be available in your belief system otherwise you are wasting your time, if you have blocks remove them with EFT . Read More→
