ㅤ ⊱ ۫ ׅ Resources for shifting/loa & nondualism ✶⋆.˚

Unfortunately charging for manifestation/shifting advice is not a new thing in these communities but I can NOT in good conscious just be fine with people doing these things. Capitalism has literally ruined our lives and as a Marxist, loa/shifting should not be locked behind a paywall. You do NOT need to buy anything from anyone! So I decided to compile a master list of resources from shiftblr, shifttok, loatwt, loablr, ndtwt, and ndblr (I don't know if that's what it is called)

For more about nondualism I suggest you look into ramana maharshi, Nisargadatta Maharaj, and Adi Shankaracharya. Remember that the philosophy is called advaita vedanta!

This is a great lecture on Spotify about understanding nondual awareness.

Here is a podcast that contains the works of Neville Goddard.

Mike + Will’s cancelled “dinner plans" on November 3rd

…Mike couldn’t make it, because the Wheeler house was attacked that very night.

Analysis Overview

Summary

1 - The Stranger Things rewatch video

2 - Rovickie’s missed date = Byler's missed dinner plans

3 - Rovickie mirror Byler (literally)

4 - Clues from Robin and Will's talk

Why would Vecna replace Mike's memory of this?

Theory Summary

As I explored in my MWTFDYD = conformitygate analysis, Vecna reversed Mike and Will’s love story. In the months after Season 4, they didn’t lose hope for a relationship, they actually gained hope and got closer to each other. 

If you haven't already, please read that analysis before this one!!! You'll kind of need it to understand what's going on.

Mike and Will planned to go on a date the night of November 3rd, 1986 – but Vecna had other plans. As I explored in my November 3rd analysis, that was the day the Wheeler house was attacked, and Nancy’s vision about Karen, Holly and Mike came true.

All you need to know is that Karen was fatally wounded (instead of Ted), Holly was kidnapped, and Mike was severely injured and rushed to hospital (instead of Karen).

Thus, Mike and Will’s dinner plans for November 3rd were VERY inconveniently interrupted.

…

Okay, okay, it’s a fun theory – but let’s explore the evidence, shall we?

1. Mike’s Dinner Plans With… “Who?”

A few weeks ago, @mixu commented this great idea. 

If Mike and Will were already dating before his disappearance, and we consider that they were rewatching the seasons in character… Mike had a date with Will.

In the ST5 rewatch video, the actors are fully in-costume, dressed as their characters in settings from the show. They essentially are their characters. Which is why it’s very interesting that “Mike” says this…

Mike: "You know I had dinner plans, right?" 

Dustin: "With who?" 

Firstly: It’s a date. Otherwise Dustin would’ve known about it.

Secondly: The fact that Dustin doesn’t know who it is implies it’s not the “obvious” choice for him or the audience – it's not El.

Thirdly: The fact that Mike had any dinner plans at all is a REALLY BAD OMEN for him.

Every time a character has planned a date in this show, it's been doomed by the Upside Down.

Boyce – one of them died to a Demogorgon

Karen/Billy – one of them was possessed by the Mindflayer + later died to it

Jopper – one of them almost died to an Upside Down portal + disappeared to Russia

Lumax – one of them died to Vecna + was revived and put into a trance

Uh, Mike? Are you sure about those dinner plans, buddy? 

Yep. Every date on the show has been cancelled because of the Upside Down and a death/near death. Oh, wait, hang on. 

Every date except Rovickie. 

Rovickie – one of them was suddenly erased from the narrative?????? wtf??????

Yeah. It turns out that Rovickie’s date is a massive outlier in many ways. Let's explore how and why!

2. Robin and Vickie’s suspicious date at Enzo’s

So many aspects of Robin and Vickie’s date totally break the pattern of the other dates, and… just seem weirdly off.

It’s the only date with a cancellation that doesn’t seem to have been caused by the Upside Down. 

It’s the only date where neither of them died/nearly died.

They are the only queer couple, and have previously been paralleled to Mike and Will multiple times.

Their original plans were meant to take place the night of November 3rd… AKA THE NIGHT OF THE WHEELER ATTACK. What a coincidence.

Nothing is stopping them from having their second date, and yet, they still don’t!! Even though they promised to!!! Why??????

Now, if this date really was Robin and Vickie’s… well, it’s really weird that they have all these differences from the other couples, right? 

Unless the date was Mike and Will’s. 

The interruption actually WAS caused by the Upside Down – the Wheeler attack.

One of them actually DID nearly die – Mike.

They literally ARE Mike and Will. 

The Wheeler attack is what MADE them miss their date.

Something actually DID stop them from having their second date (post-November 6th) – Will’s trance and Mike's kidnapping!

See how suddenly, all the weirdness is explained? How Mike and Will’s date would actually follow the exact same pattern as all four other missed dates in the show? 

Remember, all of these writing choices were intentional. This would be a seriously insane coincidence, in my humble, humble opinion. 

Let's explore even more of these writing choices!

3. Rovickie literally MIRROR Byler

I’m just going to leave these parallels here for you to enjoy.

ALL THREE of Rovickie’s date conversations happen in a HOSPITAL. Mike had to miss his dinner plans with Will because he was put in HOSPITAL.

In ALL THREE conversations, Robin and Vickie are repeatedly reflected in mirrors, suggesting they are mirroring other characters.

The mirror on the wall when Robin tells Vickie she has to cancel her date.

Robin’s handheld mirror while she is rambling to Will about missing her date with Vickie.

The big, circular mirror when Robin promises Vickie to go on a second date (while Demogorgons slowly approach them)

Why else would there be mirrors in all three scenes?

Robin, who is missing the date, is dressed like Mike does: blue jumper, black pants and converse.

Vickie, who is being cancelled on, has a bowl cut like Will (despite bowl cuts being “not that popular anymore”).

Robin lies about her “fake granny”. Just like Mike lies about his own fake granny in S3, AKA Nana.

Rovickie was ominously erased from the narrative in the Epilogue – just like Byler throughout all of Season 5.

And here’s a bonus one. 

Robin: “I stole money off the dead guy they just wheeled out.” (

Robin stole this plot point from Mike Wheeler, a guy who almost died due to his injuries and was sent to that very hospital.

Considering how frequently Robin and Vickie were already paralleled to Mike and Will in Season 4... the fact that they’re now literally DRESSED like Byler, and have giant mirrors in all their scenes together? 

All I can conclude is that in these scenes, Robin and Vickie are literally Mike and Will. 

4. Robin’s rambling matches Mike's POV

In the hospital, Robin rambles to Will about the fact she’s going to have to miss her date with Vickie.

Robin flips her mirror open to look at Vickie. Robin: I promised Vickie that I would take her to Enzo’s tonight… and now I can’t, obviously, meaning I have to ditch her again for reasons that she just can’t understand… a massive fight will inevitably ensue, we’ll never make it to my fake granny’s room... I can’t be the reason Wheeler’s plan fails.

Isn’t. That. Interesting. If we replace only a few words, Robin’s rambling fits Mike's POV perfectly.

Mike: I promised [Will] that I would take him to [dinner] tonight… and now I can’t, obviously, meaning I have to ditch him again for reasons that he just can’t understand… a massive fight will inevitably ensue, we’ll never make it to [our dinner plans]... I can’t be the reason my own plan fails.

Obviously he can’t make it – because he was attacked by a Demogorgon. He has to ditch Will again – like he did in Season 3 and 4. A massive fight will inevitably ensue – with a Demogorgon, lmfao. And finally... Mike is unfortunately the reason his own dinner plans fail.

Cut him some slack, though! He was literally attacked by a Demogorgon and sent to hospital!

Robin looks at Vickie through her mirror a second time. Will: You know, you could always just… kiss her again.

Hmm. So if Mike just kisses Will again, it’ll all be okay? Aww :3

...Hey wait, that implies they've kissed before! MWTFDYD = conformitygate is looking pretty good right now, lol.

Anyway, this would mean that Robin – Mike’s stand-in for this scene – rambled on and on about the date Mike was going to have to miss… TO THE PERSON HE WAS MISSING HIS DATE WITH. If nothing else, that’s pretty funny.

AND! ALSO! MORE EVIDENCE!

After this, Will asks how Robin knew that Vickie wanted to date… 

Robin: "...a brush of the elbow, a bump of the knee, a shared look."

Will immediately has a look of realisation. This stuff has all happened between Mike and Will already.

And if this conversation’s already happened before, like my theory presumes… then that is literally how Mike and Will knew the other wanted to date! That’s why they had dinner plans!

Robin (AKA Mike): Let’s just say the snowball turned into an avalanche.

Oh, I’m sure it did, Mr. Made-His-BFF-Dance-With-A-Girl-At-The-Snowball-Then-Got-Jealous.

I’m sure it did.

So, why would Vecna replace Byler's missed date with Rovickie's?

The same reason he edited, reversed and replaced the rest of Mike and Will's scenes: Love and memories are the key to escape.

Max escaped with help from memories of Lucas and El. Will fought his possession with help from memories of Mike, Joyce and Jon. El saved Max with their shared memories, reversing her death. If Mike was to remember his love for Will, he'd be able to escape – but that would ruin Vecna's plans to create "beautiful things".

So, Vecna is doing everything he can to prevent Mike's escape.

Vecna needed Mike to believe that everyone had won, to BELIEVE that he got the happiest ending he could, and most importantly: to believe that ending up with Will would never be an option for him. With his memories now scrambled and replaced by Vecna Mike doesn't know Will loves him. He's back to thinking he and Will never even came CLOSE to dating, and that Will only ever wanted to be "friends."

(Plus, it's commentary on how queer characters are viewed as interchangeable, if not erased from media altogether)

As long as Mike continues to forget the love that he and Will truly shared, he will remain trapped in the Rightside Up.

But when he finally remembers?

Freedom.

…

Thanks for reading!

I’ve gone back and updated the last few dot-points of my MWTFDYD = conformitygate analysis to reflect these new changes.

This one took me quite a while to work out, because I was missing details at first. Lucky for me (and unlucky for Mike), the Wheeler attack on November 3rd was the missing puzzle piece I needed! So after two weeks of "huh?", I finally have an idea of where this fits hahaha. Thanks again for reminding me about the rewatch @mixu :P

i wish i was a character in a show so people could accurately type me, even though I know i’d be pissed if they mistyped me or typed me as something I hate. I love knowing more about typology but i also hate it because I cant stop until i type myself perfectly which never happens and i just end up having an identity crisis because it feels like i don’t know myself, but I refuse to not type me because i want to know everything and myself and refuse to have people know themselves while I don’t. But it just takes so much effort and work and i hate it. Maybe i’ll have to wait until i’m 26 to do it all again and be absolutely sure, but i want to know NOW.

[multiiversaldiva]

me when I realise I actually don’t have to conform to anything in this world or the shitty circumstances in it and I don’t have to believe in stuff I don’t align with because reality is purely an illusion and imagination is all source of creation so I can basically go and do whatever I want in the stream of the multiverse

And then he’s right there, his hand sliding under the blanket, settling on Will’s bare stomach where his sweater has ridden up.

“Oh my god.” Will flinches and Mike chuckles against his shoulder, scooting close.

“Sorry.” But instead of pulling away, he keeps his icy hand right there on Will’s exposed stomach. “Your skin’s like a heater.”

“But I’m cold!”

“Your stomach’s not.”

Will doesn’t protest, even though the touch gives him chills all over. And maybe Mike had expected him to, because when Will doesn’t say anything, his voice gets a little softer.

“Is this okay?” he asks.

“Yeah.”

A crew member's revelations (gone unnoticed)

So I was reading comments on ST reddit (yep, i'm masochistic)

And then I stumbled upon this one (all names are blurred, I'm not doxxing anyone)

On the one hand, this is just a rando on the Internet who says shit with no proof

On the other hand, it's a rather serious allegation (sus) and worth looking into

I skimmed through their post history. They're active on multiple subreddits where they mention work in the film industry

So I decided to dig deeper and two hours later I found their imdb page. They're legit!!! (they're actually credited in the show)

Let's look at everything they said about working on ST and the Duffers (brace yourself, it's A LOT):

This person seems incredibly bitter. However, all that info that's resurfacing these days ...

Let's Talk About Noah Schnapp

In light of everything that's happened in the last few days—namely Netflix releasing its first teaser for Stranger Things Season 5—many are returning to Stranger Things spaces online here and elsewhere for the first time in months. Maybe years. So, it's time to have this conversation again, because many people weren't here when some of us were having this conversation in the lull between content; and we're due for an update.

Buckle up—this is going to be long. I intend for this to be a mega post on the whole situation in so far as I can cover it, with receipts and screenshots.

The Conversation Around Noah

Put bluntly—the vitriol around Noah Schnapp has become dangerously insane. It's been that way for 2 years, but the renewed spotlight on Stranger Things, especially as Noah is set to take center stage in a Will Byers-centric season, has revived some of the worst elements of the conversation.

"What do you mean?", you may be asking. Well, I think it might just be better to show you:

This is just a sampling. If I showed you every tweet — every post — every video I've seen with this rhetoric, I'd need another medium to do it. A tumblr blog alone couldn't contain it all. But I take it you see my point now.

How Did Things Get This Way?

There are people on this app and on #that app who will say this behavior/treatment is warranted. They'll tell you that Noah is a "genocide supporter." That he "cheered for the deaths of Palestinian babies." That he "celebrated as people were being murdered." But none of this is true.

As a reminder, this was what Noah actually said—his very first comments on the matter—right after the Hamas attack that happened on October 7, 2023:

Important to note:

"...we will hope and pray for safety, justice, liberation, and self determination in Palestine."

and

"...we will say a Jewish prayer for peace for all Israelis and Palestinians."

That is the literal antithesis of support for a genocide or the wholesale slaughter of anyone.

The very next thing to happen was the infamous "sticker video" about which the most lies have been told, so let's debunk them one by one:

He did not make the stickers.

He did not wear the stickers.

He did not hand out the stickers.

He did not hold up the stickers.

He did not even touch the stickers.

He did not post the video on any social anywhere.

I've posted a pair of screenshots here that give you the gist in lieu of the video itself, but you can Google the video and watch the entire thing to see that I'm telling the truth.

What actually happened was that Noah was taken to a restaurant by a pair of influencers who were his guides while on a school-sponsored trip to Israel. Both were significantly older than him, were responsible for the video in question, were the only ones in it (aside from the waitress) to actually touch the stickers in question... and yet? Noah bore the brunt of the hate that ensued. When the backlash came, they abandoned him and left him to the wolves. (And perhaps because of that, he no longer associates with either one of them, nor follows any related social media accounts—all of which he was required to follow in the first place as terms of going on the trip through his school.)

Noah had just come out of the closet earlier that year and was 18 years-old. He would only turn 19 years-old in the ensuing weeks.

He has addressed these events several times. Most famous was the TikTok that he made explaining his actual position (that he doesn't want anyone, Palestinian or Israeli, to die). Less famous were remarks he made to fans on Snapchat:

I'll post his remarks here for those who can't read the text:

Hey guys! I appreciate you reaching out. To give you context, I did not post this language or sticker. I was at breakfast with friends, it happened to be an Israeli cafe, and a girl was handing out stickers. Someone photographed me and posted and tagged me. As you guys know better than most people, social media can be used however people want to use it. I understand the weight of the situation and take it very seriously. I have friends of friends who are currently being held hostage in Gaza right now. My friends kids were killed in the massacre at the Israeli music festival. Standing up against this terrorism is important to me and why I made my statement after the attack. As one of the only few Jewish people with a platform, I absolutely think it's important to share my message about hatred for Jews around the world right now. However, everyone online is obviously twisting everything and saying I support genocide and am Islamophobic which is obviously entirely false and never have I stated either of those things. Seeing what is happening to the innocent people in Palestine pains me so much and I wish it would stop. I fully support everyone in Palestine as I said in my post on Instagram. One of my best friends in college is Palestinian and we talk about this issue allllll the time and agree on most things. I think people on social media are just animalistic right now so it's hard to even chime in because they just rip me apart so now I'm staying out of it.

I'll let that stand on it's own. I think it provides the context behind his remarks, the situation with the video/stickers, and his actual views versus how social media portrays his views. It also explains why he hasn't said anything else in almost 2 years.

The key takeaway: He was speaking out against antisemitism and the attack on Jewish people on October 7 and he supports an end to what is happening in Gaza and fully supports Palestinians. He literally says it.

And this support, by the way, has been corroborated by his own actions and the word of mouth from Palestinian organizations he has contributed to:

What Has Happened Since?

It would be easier to list the things that haven't happened; but I'll try anyways:

Noah has been called antisemitic slurs; gay slurs and targeted with gay stereotypes; been compared to antisemitic caricatures; he's been threatened with death and had posts go viral fantasizing about his brutal murder; his family has been threatened; he's been threatened with rape and sexual abuse; there are massive accounts on Twitter that doxxed his location while he was filming Season 5—particularly targeting him when he was alone; he's been hacked, had personal pictures leaked; he's had lies spread about his treatment of his cast mates (all of whom have spoken out and said that they've loved him at some point since, making these claims unequivocally false.

Here are a few examples:

Again, I can only post a sample. I hope that sample is enough to get the message across.

It's hard to overstate how cataclysmic this has been. Obviously, he's recovered and healed a lot since the initial incident; but the damage done needs to be acknowledged. These attacks drove him into a dark place by his own admission. He talked about needing therapy on his (now deleted) private spam TikTok account. And they are starting up yet again.

And Then There's the Fandom

The Stranger Things fandom in the wake of all this has been an irritating place to be. Not just because of the above behavior but because of the blanket hypocrisy.

The shipping sub-fandoms in particular have been rank with antisemitism and homophobia—even the Byler fandom, which is predominantly queer. People have:

A) Taken pre-Stranger Things photos—like his baby pictures or pictures with his family—to use as part of their content, their profile pictures, their banners, their fan art, their fan edits, etc.—violating his and his family's privacy for "Will" all while calling him "ugly," a "fag," and lobbing the above-listed threats at him. B) Tried to recast him with a fan cast. These fan casts are almost never Jewish actors, you'll notice. In fact, there's someone on this very app that recast Will Byers as himself. This is gross and absurd. Will Byers is intrinsically tied to Noah Schnapp. Tied to his identities as a Jewish person and a gay man. Tied to his experiences being a character he helped bring to life during his formative years. C) Persist in stanning or support his cast mates despite the fact that they continue to associate with him. This, in particular, is gross hypocrisy. If you're going to be mad at Noah Schnapp for being in a restaurant around stickers you object to—guilt by proximity/association, in other words—those SAME standards should apply to his cast mates, who continue to hang out with him outside of work, state that they love him, and post him on their social medias. I have a whole post about that here.

Instead, the cast is continually afforded blanket immunity while he is singularly targeted for continued abuse and harassment.

It should give the fandom some pause that openly pro-Palestine actors like Maya Hawke not only continue to hang out with him; but in her Instagram story, even stated that she misses it (check the link above for a screenshot of said story). She wouldn't do that if she thought he somehow supported mass-murder; and she knows him way better than any one reading this blog. That goes for the rest of them, too.

They know him better than you. They know his moral compass and what he believes. And they haven't abandoned him and obviously aren't going to. So, are you going to stick to your guns and apply your anger evenly; or maybe consider that you don't have the full picture?

So, Why Care?

I get this in my Asks so often. "Why do you care?" "He's a celebrity." "He don't know you." "He's not your pookie."

I know. It's not about that.

Yes, full disclosure, I am obviously a fan of Noah's. Have been since the show started. And no it's not because I'm gay and he's gay or because he plays my favorite character in Stranger Things.

Like many of his fans, I've spent the last decade seeing his lives on Instagram and TikTok, seeing his fan interactions, watching his vlogs and videos, and I've come to respect him as a human being quite apart from Will Byers or his role as an actor. Fundamentally, I really believe he is a kind and caring human being. The word of mouth from everyone who knows or has met him bares this out—and, yes, he's even been kind to me in the few conversations we've had.

This is only one example from Instagram during The First Shadow premiere this year; but I think it encapsulates what I like about Noah most. He's kind. He goes out of his way to be kind. He does things he doesn't have to do, contractually or just in general, for the sake of being kind. He always has been.

He's also stood up for a plethora of causes. Black Lives Matters, trans rights, the rights of women. He's known to be his cast mates' biggest supporter—and they'll tell you as much, too.

But quite apart from my personal feelings about him and more importantly: this is wrong.

Antisemitism is wrong. Homophobia is wrong. Both kill. Still, to this day. As I am sitting in my kitchen writing this, the news just broke that an Indigenous gay man and a celebrity was shot dead in front of his husband—after having his home burned down and dogs burned alive—in the United States. Yesterday, news broke that a gathering of peaceful Jewish protesters (which included children and the elderly) demanding the release of hostages still held by Hamas was firebombed in Colorado. Luckily, they all survived, but six people were injured in that attack.

Violence and bigotry are ascendent everywhere right now. Minority communities are being targeted. Normalizing the behavior I've described and shown above kills marginalized people. Regardless of your feeling about Noah as a person or celebrity, normalizing the violent and bigoted remarks, tweets, and behavior towards him harms Jewish and LGBTQIA+ people—all of us.

And just as an example of that, I give you the treatment Finn Wolfhard is now receiving just for the "crime" of shaving his head and being deemed no longer conventionally attractive by the fandom:

Yes, the general audience found out about Finn's Jewish heritage and now he's a target, too.

And this fandom is at fault for it.

You cannot normalize bigotry towards one person and expect it to stay contained to that one person. It will always harm everyone in that community. Finn Wolfhard—or any other actor/actress—being your favorite is not going to spare him from the consequences of a discourse you started.

ALL antisemitism and ALL homophobia needs to be called out. The people who insist it's okay that they do that for ANY reason—regardless of if they themselves are LGBTQIA+ or not—need to be ejected from the fandom and never let back in.

Noah Schnapp is a human being. He does not deserve this treatment. No one does. No one is saying you have to like him or even care about him. But you SHOULD care that this is how he's being treated and the impact it is having on others. The impact on Jewish people. The impact on queer people. Standing up and saying that does not mean you support genocide or murder or bigotry of any kind. Quite the opposite, in fact.

I am a person with left-leaning values. I'm tired of those values being spat on and dragged through the mud by people who think THIS is activism or is in any way helping a cause. It's not. All it is doing is perpetuating harm on a real person and real communities—queer and Jewish alike. And it needs to stop.

*.˗ˏˋ DEILD- The Quickest And Easiest Method To Lucid Dream That I know ´ˎ˗.*

Listennnn, I love the lucid dream method down. It is AND ALWAYS WILL BE my favorite way to shift, apart from the void state.

BUT I know I cannot be the only one struggling to get lucid😩😭 At least I used to struggle before I found DEILD. I found other techniques tedious, having to do constant reality checks during the day felt like a chore and lying completely still in bed for 30+ minutes waiting for my body to fall asleep was quite literally torture to me. IF I could stay awake through it because most times I couldn’t or just rolled over and gave up because nothing was happening and I was très uncomfortable.

I’ve tried mild, SSILD, fild, ALL THE “ILDS” every single one and while they are effective, I’ve finally found the technique that works best for me and takes the least amount of time so I thought I would share, just in case it may help someone else!

With this technique you…..

Go from being awake directly into a lucid dream without falling asleep (this is called a wake initiated lucid dream and in my experience I feel more aware and in control with these vs when I randomly become aware in the middle of my dream. They are also easier to remember if you have poor dream recall. )

Are able to start the lucid dream scene in the privacy of your own room so you don’t have to worry about trying to shift in the middle of distracting dream scenes or dealing with distracting dream characters

You can save a Lucid dream that’s been cut short or even have several lucid dreams in one night using this method

Don’t need to do reality checks during the day if you don’t want to or do any other daytime prep

The whole thing takes 10-30 seconds START TO FINISH!

The technique…

*.˗ˏˋ DEILD ´ˎ˗.*

Dream Exit Initiated Lucid dream

Steps…

Before bed set the intention that when you wake up you will immediately remember to perform DEILD

Set a touchless alarm to wake you up anywhere from 3-6 hours after falling asleep. I like this one! Maybe put it in a playlist with a lucid dreaming subliminal or theta waves set to play after the alarm goes off to boost your chances of becoming Lucid🌙

Go to bed as normal. As I fall asleep I like to imagine myself waking up to the alarm and successfully performing DEILD. Then I imagine myself successfully entering the void from the LD and then successfully waking up in my wr. I loop this sequence until I fall asleep. I do this to help me remember to do the technique the second I wake up, but it is not at all necessary.

Immediately upon waking and hearing the alarm, I try to remember to stay still and not open my eyes. Minimal movement is fine, but we’re trying to convince our body that we’re still asleep! The alarm will shut off on its own.

Wait for what feels like 10 seconds without actually counting (Again, you don’t want to activate your Brain and wake yourself up too much )

After it feels like 10 seconds have gone by, do a reality check like the nose pinch test EVEN IF YOU FEEL WIDE AWAKE and don’t think you could possibly already be back asleep in only 10 seconds. Most of the time you’ll already be in what is called a false awakening-when you think you’re awake in bed but you’re actually dreaming

If you were able to breathe through your closed nose you are now in a lucid dream starting out in your room. You can proceed to shift to your dr in any way you like-some of my go to’s are:

-creating a portal

-entering the void and shifting from there

-entering the astral realm and shifting from there

-waking myself up from the dream but intending to wake up in my dr not my cr

Editors note:

If when you do the nose pinch test, you are still awake, repeat step 6 up to 2 more times. If by this point, you still have not entered a lucid dream, it is best to go back to bed and try again the next time you wake up. This method is very effective but fragile, as it is best performed in that very small hypnopompic window right when you are teetering on the edge of awake and asleep.

Why this method works…

When you wake up from sleep and don’t move or open your eyes, it tricks your body into thinking that you’re still asleep and it puts you back in a dream, even though your mind is actually awake! This is why a touchless alarm is helpful, or you can use natural awakenings.

Troubleshooting the method…

The hardest part about this method is remembering to stay still as soon as you wake up.

You can set the intention to remember to do so before bed

You can also use prospective memory training during the day (every time you look in a mirror/ drink something/ plug in your phone/ enter a different room etc you can affirm “the next time I wake up I will immediately remember to perform DEILD” )

And if you move by mistake or have to use an alarm that needs manually turned off, all is not necessarily lost. it’s still worth trying anyway as long as you think you’ll be able to fall back asleep! Just wait 30 seconds instead of 10 before doing a reality check and consider using an anchor to help keep you focused and awake (could be focusing on the sound of the subliminal if you made a playlist, or the sound of a fan etc)

TLDR OF THE TECHNIQUE:

Wake up either naturally or to a touch-less alarm. If you must use a manual alarm, keep movement minimal as to not activate your brain too much.

Lie still with your eyes closed and keep a blank mind for 10-30 seconds

Do a reality check to see if you are lucid dreaming

Shift from the lucid dream
