10 Things to Ask Your
Lucid Dream Self

Interacting with your lucid dream self is a really fun way to gain insights from your subconscious inner self. In his book, Lucid Dreaming: Gateway to the Inner Self, Robert Waggoner calls this the awareness behind the dream.

In short, you can shout out any question in your conscious dream and receive an answer in just about any form! It may be written on the wall, spoken to you by a dream character, or a new dream scene may materialize before your eyes.

How to Speak to Your Lucid Dream Self

Next time you're consciously aware in a dream, perform Robert Waggoner's counter-intuitive technique to probe your larger Mind.

First, ignore the dream figures and symbols. Then formulate your question and shout it out to the hidden awareness behind the dream. It's that easy. Just tilt your head back and lucidly shout out your request. A good starter is "Show me something amazing!" Then wait and see what happens...

10 Things to Ask Your Lucid Dream Self

I spoke to Robert about this incredible dream experiment and he gave me a list of 10 more things to shout out to my lucid dream self. Try these yourself!

1. Show me something hilarious!
2. Show me something important for me to see!
3. Let me feel the experience of unconditional love!
4. Let me feel a sense of pure and total confidence!
5. Show me this lucid dream from your perspective!
6. Let me feel my body's optimal health!
7. Show me how to have more lucid dreams!
8. Show me my most successful past life incarnation!
9. Let me see my childhood pet, _____!
10. Show me the most constructive way to resolve my problem with _____!
    

In his book, Robert Waggoner explains how to communicate with the awareness behind the dream in greater detail. It's a superb technique that lets you experience all kinds of unexpected phenomenon - and is especially handy if you don't already have (or forget) a lucid dream intention.

The answers arise directly from your inner self, a place of intuitive insight and great wisdom. What's more, they're not filtered by your conscious mind, which can often get bogged down in overthinking. That's really why I like this method.

Interactions with My Lucid Dream Self

I have tried this experiment numerous times - often with amazing results. Sometimes, nothing happens, so I need to shout the question again. I have no expectation of what will happen next - which makes the outcome even more exciting. You are actually talking "face to face" with your subconscious inner self!

Recently, I had a lucid dream and shouted, "Show me something hilarious." The next thing I saw was a man-sized, multi-colored furry ape walking down the street towards me. This out-of-the-blue image was hilarious and I fell into fits of giggles. My inner self certainly has a great sense of humor!

Another time, I was standing in a field in my lucid dream and shouted "Show me something amazing." The sky lit up then, and turned into a brilliant orange sunset. I saw a giant woman appear in the sky, with long brown wavy hair and orange robes. She was full of bright light. She didn't say anything but I got an awesome sense of power and felt like this was a projection of my own inner self.

So next time you are lucid, try Robert Waggoner's counter-intuitive technique and shout out your request to the awareness behind the dream. And feel free to contact me about your interactions with your lucid dream self.
