The Twin Bodies Technique
The Twin Bodies Technique requires you to awaken from dream sleep. This is easy for some people, yet others find it exceptionally hard. If you are one of the ones that have a hard time waking after a dream, try setting an alarm clock for approximately 90 minutes after you think you will go to sleep. In other words, if you go to bed at 10 pm and it normally takes you about 30 minutes to fall asleep, then set the alarm for midnight. (10 pm + 30 min. + 90 min.)
Another technique that may help is to drink a large glass of water just before bed. Timing should be reasonable for your bladder to wake you up soon after the end of a dream cycle as you cycle back through the levels.
After you awaken:
1) Return to bed and lay on your back or your right side. Breathe deeply and close your eyes and tighten every muscle in your body. Feel your feet, legs, hands, arms, back, and everything else tighten completely, then "let go" of every muscle, allowing them to relax and affirming your intention to enter a lucid dream state.
2) Starting at either your head or your feet, check to see you that body part is feeling. Does it feel normal or are their any unusual sensations such as tingling, vibrations or such.
If they are not in the first body part checked, move up (or down) the body and do the same check on the enxt body part. Continue to check one body part after another, until you start to feeling vibrations or other unusual feelings.
If you happen to make it all the way to the opposite end of your body without feeling anything unusual, simply change directions and move the opposite way up (or down) your body until you do feel the vibrations.
The vibrations are a signal that your body is about to enter what is known as sleep paralysis. This state is nothing to fear, however it can be a little on the scary side the first time you experience it. You are in no danger, just allow it to happen and move on with your lucid dream.
3) When you have entered the sleep paralysis, it is only your physical body that is asleep at this point. You have a dream body that can detach from your physical body and move around in the dream world.
For most people, it is easier to allow the dream body to roll or float out of your physical body. You are now in a full lucid dream and can do anything you would like to do in it.
Always test however, to ensure you are in the dream world before trying to do things such as flying (via jumping off a building) or any other act that could put your physical body in danger.
Any of the test given in this handbook can be used to check for a dream world. Look for colors that are not right, things not being where they should be, read a paragraph or two from a book, then read it again a few moment later and see if it has changed.
