Lesson Five LUCID GRATITUDE
Consciously directing attentions to Gratitude during transition from Waking reality to Dream space will create a bridge allowing intentional exploration, Divine communion, and passage to enlightening adventures.
Here is how:
1. Tonight, as you lie to rest, focus on Gratitude.
2. Imagine this symbol over your heart. (Any spiral flowing outward.)
(The picture on the right is a representation of stable spiral ventricular wave dynamics, the way the bio-electrochemical energy moves through your heart, making it beat properly.)
3. With each peaceful beat calming waters within, feel a drift into sleep, flowing knowing going is NOW - resting on a ring of Gratitude, leisurely floating Rivers of Abundance.
Rest. Soak. Splash.
Explore shores for treasures galore.
Prepare to wake in Gratitude.
Go Gratitude!
To activate Will during sleep excursions, summon a symbol of Gratitude.
You will immediately connect with choice, awareness, and power! (plus - flying remains an exhilarating option.)
"Lucid dreams are also symbolic--yet in quite a different way...their symbolism takes the form of beautiful landscapes -- different luminous phenomena, sunlight, clouds, and especially a deep blue sky.
In a perfect instance of the lucid dream I float through immensely wide landscapes, with a clear blue, sunny sky, and a feeling of deep bliss and Gratitude, which I feel impelled to express by eloquent words of thankfulness and piety.
Sometimes these words seem to me a little rhetorical, but I cannot help it, as it is very difficult in dreams to control emotional impulses ... Sometimes I conceive of what appears as a symbol, warning, consoling, approving.
Flying or floating may be observed in all forms of dreams, except perhaps the class of general dream sensations; yet it is generally an indication that lucid dreams are coming. "
