New Method - still experimenting

I am sure everyone has spoken to himself before, it is nothing new. Sometimes you mean those things so much that you forget about the world around or that you have a shower, although you probably are already there. Now, having said all of this, this is the core of my new method. It is similar to the "create-the-dream-from-HS" method I've talked about. You can find it in the methods post. It basically requires you to wait until you get hypnagogic images and turn them into a dream in which you have control. It does feel fake for a little, but your body does not care how fake it is and will take an opportunity to relax. Once you feel you don't have control anymore, you just say your magical sentence "I am lucid. I am in control" and if you did it at the right time SP should kick in.

Anyway, this is not my new method I am working on, the new one refers to talking to yourself until you fall asleep. It doesn't matter what you're saying, just talk. Don't say random words, say full sentences, talk to yourself, talk to an imaginary friend, if you want, just talk. Even if you find what you're talking about weird, talk about how weird it is too. The main idea of this technique is to talk as much as possible, mean everything you say, so that you forget about your body and everything around you. You know, when you read something very interesting (like this awesome article, of course) or you're talking to someone about something you really like, you forget there's a room, there's air you're breathing, there's a body, you just talk and barely shut up. One other thing that could help you is, if you know more languages, talk in all of them, don't use your native that much, and besides, you'll even get a chance to practice speaking in a foreign language while "sleeping".

Although this method may keep you active mentally, your body will get tired of you and go to sleep. You won't really worry that much about not moving because you're too busy talking to yourself about how bad your teacher is or what a horrible person your friend's friend is. However, you need to watch out for a few things. If you, however, need to move, or turn to the other side, always REMEMBER to keep talking. I was all aware, almost needed to separate, but felt the need to turn on my other side, once I did, I fell asleep without even knowing. Also, if you find it hard to talk or say your "magical sentence" it means you're probably going in deep sleep and you need to force the experience a bit, even if that means ruing it for the moment. If you feel the need to scratch at the moment just do it, you'll forget about it anyway later. Get comfortable, make sure you've used the toilet before you do this.

I know it is contrary to everyone's beliefs and that you should keep a still mind, but the main thing about OOBEs is mind awake - body asleep, so it doesn't really matter what you're doing in your head, the main focus here is to get your body to fall asleep. However, if you want to meditate or something, I don't recommend "insanity" there, like talking to imaginary friends. Having spoken of friends, imaginary or not, if you're a religious person you can even talk to your God and pray to him and whatever, as long as you can keep going. If you even add some emotions to what you're saying everything should go perfectly.

Also, another thing I need to mention, after talking, you'll find that you have probably not moved the whole time, try then some imaginary separations, this is how I got out in my "pure SP" experience. A link to that experience should appear here.
