The technique may not work for just anyone.Apparently MMY dropped using this
technique himself for somereason, but I found it quite enjoyable.
People usually think thoughts just before going to sleep butquite often they
are just random thinking without any direction.
Until I was taught the "Night Technique" by Satyanand, I usedanother technique
that I developed myself - you simply think ofsomething positive to look forward
to the next day and then slipinto sleep.
It works too, but not as well. There is something about thedirected sound
vibration than is a subtle relaxing feeling withthe bija mantra - Laya Yoga
while you sleep.

Solast night I had a lucid experiencewhile dreaming (it's happened a fewtimes
before - always involuntary asI've never bothered to follow the"techniques"
recommended by devoteesof this perception). At least Iassume it was a
lucid-dreamexperience - I suppose one couldhave a normal dream which
includedthe false thought that one was lucidwhen in fact one wasn't (if you
canfollow that explanation). What'smore, I woke up (for real), musedabout the
dream for a minute, thenfell asleep again and immediatelywent back into the
same dreamlandscape in the sameself-conscious, lucid state.NowI'd heard that
when in a lucid dreamyou can alter the "dreamscape" tosuit yourself. So you
might find itamusing to flip over into being aZero pilot on a kamikaze mission
anddiving into the Golden Dome inFairfield. Whatever floats yourboat. Anyway,
though I was lucidlyself-aware that I was indeeddreaming I couldn't change the
storynarration unfolding before me sojust left the dream to run itscourse while
absorbing the novelexperience.My question is: is there sometrick to getting the
dream to changeto suit your whim or is it a case ofpractice makes perfect? Or
maybemost lucid dreams are like mine? Ormaybe my will power is feeblecompared
with my imaginative powerand others have a more dominantwill?

The trick is topractice a Laya Yoga technique welearned from Satyanand:
When you are ready for sleep youjust sit up in bed and then let yourbija mantra
rest at the heart chakrafor a few minutes. That way, thesubtle currents from
your Istadevatawill permeate your entire being whileyou sleep.
For example, my Istadevata isSaraswati, the Goddess of Learning, soby resting
the bija portion of hermantra at the heart chakra, myintelligence will grow by
leaps andbounds, right while I'm sleeping.
Then, when you awaken in the morningyou will feel refreshed and full ofenergy
and knowledge. It's thatsimple!

Anyone had a similarexperience?

Yes. A lucid dreamis a dream in which the sleeper isaware that he or she is
dreaming. Fromwhat I've read, the phenomenon oflucid dreaming has been
wellestablished by scientific research, soits existence is well established.
