The practitioner imagines that aliens have invaded his bedroom and are grabbing his ankles and pulling him out of his body. Alternatively, he imagines that he is being pulled out by a beam emanating from a spaceship. Sex technique The practitioner tries to feel the intimate sensations of the copulative act in as much detail as possible. This works better for women in the passive form. Toothbrush technique The practitioner tries to feel that he is brushing his teeth. He tries to feel the movement of his hand, the sensation of the brush in his mouth, and the taste of toothpaste. He can also try to add in sensation by imagining himself standing in front of a mirror in a bathroom. Whispering pillow technique Lying with his ear to his pillow, the practitioner tries to hear sounds, melodies, and voices coming from it. He can try to hear specific sounds, or simply passively listen in to what's there. TECHNIQUES FOR BECOMING CONSCIOUS WHILE DREAMING Anchor technique During wakefulness, the practitioner develops the habit of analyzing his state whenever he encounters specific anchors: his hands, the sound of water, people's faces, etc. This practice will gradually transition over into dreaming, giving him a chance to react to an anchor and realize that everything around him is a dream. An anchor should be something encountered neither rarely nor frequently both when dreaming and during wakefulness. In order to get a clearer understanding of whether one is surrounded by reality or the dreamscape, one should try to levitate or go into hyperconcentration whenever an anchor is encountered.
