Newbie question about combining recordings

Hi,

I've been at this for about two week, progress seems to wax and wane, no LD yet. I have the self-hypnosis mp3 from Rebecca's kit and the Brain Sync Lucid Dreaming mp3 (with Theta waves). I've been using them individually, and the Brain Sync does really good job of relaxing me. The self-hypnosis usually does a good job of relaxing me as well, but I don't really feel like I've ever entered a "trance state" not that I'm really sure what it feels like to be in a trance state, but that's another thread....

I'm thinking about making a playlist that plays the Brain Sync MP3 first, followed by the self-hypnosis mp3. My thought is that the Brain Sync will get me relaxed, and the self-hypnosis will kind of push me over the edge, or at least I'll have a better chance of being in a trance state.

Has anyone tried this or can anyone think of a reason I should not try this?

Thanks, J

In my opinion the self-hypnosis mp3 should contain theta binural beats for a deeper trance

Hi!

I've combined recordings before, and they've really done great. In 2008, the cds broke down, and I haven't been able to get any more since. The recordings I used were these:

Steven Laberge's Lucid dreaming CD Oxybliss Peace CD Kelly Howell's BrainSync CD, Ecstacy Dick Sutphen's PsychoKinesis CD

I was having such lucid dreams with these, plus the NovaDreamer, that I thought I was losing my mind or on drugs! After awhile, I had strange headaches (overstudy or dried out sinuses), could make pictures fly off the wall, had psychic dreams that came true the next day, had tactile hallucinations, and made coins appear out of nowhere!

I found that if I went to sleep right after watching something on TV, I would dream about it! I had some interesting Robert Englund and Rowan Atkinson dreams. Some of the dreams were very erotic; "Mr. Bean" is a great kisser! My childhood memories came back to me with crystal clarity and I was transported back there a few times.

I'm not asking you to stop what you're doing, just be careful. Maybe combining recordings is not for me, but it made for some interesting "rides"! It seemed to make my brain swell, too.

Oh, I forgot to tell you. It took me anywhere from 4-6 weeks to get these things to work, so keep trying. I think it was using the NovaDReamer along with the rest of it that caused me to feel strange.

Personally, as a master lucid dreamer, I have never relied on external devices to lucid dream.

I have only relied on internal methods such as relaxation and meditation.

You have to be careful about lucid dreaming devices, many of them (in my opinion) are rip-offs.

Save your money! You don't need fancy devices to learn how to lucid dream at will.

...

I wasn't suggesting that lucid dreaming devices shouldn't be used at all, I was just warning everyone to be careful.

There are a lot of scammers out there trying to make money off of lucid dreaming.

I am saying that external devices are not necessary when learning how to lucid dream.
