What is Subconscious Incubation?The subconscious mind is considered by most laymen as dark and unfathomable. But in reality, it's more like a child, who learns all about the world through direct experience and builds up its own unique system of conceptual understanding. This explains a lot about the nature of dreams, which are confusing affairs, playing out our thoughts, fears and anxieties in conceptual form. The more emotional our waking day, the more vivid and intense our dreams are. This poses the perfect opportunity to induce lucidity - by programming the subconscious mind to act as our own lucid alarm clock...
How Does Subconscious Incubation Work?Do you remember watching a scary movie before going to sleep when you were a kid - only to have nightmares about the monster under your bed? Or have you suffered a traumatic event like a car crash, only to dream about sudden loud noises waking you up in the night? These are both examples of the subconscious mind storing emotional memories from the daytime and replaying them to us in our sleep. And this is how the subconscious incubation technique works... It's already widely accepted among dream experts that immersing yourself in lucid dreaming literature before sleep can have a big impact on your ability to lucid dream. But what makes the subconscious incubation technique work best is the presence of highly emotional content in the memory. Remember, while the conscious mind thinks, the subconscious mind feels. So it makes sense to load your subconscious intention to lucid dream with as much emotion and feeling as possible. That's why we turn to the land of fiction.
Lucid Fiction: Capturing The Lucid ImaginationLucid Fiction is a unique tool that can help anyone become lucid with the subconscious incubation technique. It is a collection of short stories themed on lucid dreaming with the goal of emulating the conscious dream state. I tested the effects of the short stories on a number of guinea pigs and the results were astonishing. Several readers experienced spontaneous lucidity within the first week - and one experienced lucid dreamer (Ryan Hurd of Dream Studies) had a lucid dream on the very same night in which he faced down a tornado that had been haunting his dreams for more than 10 years! For beginner and intermediate lucid dreamers who are desperately stuck "in between" lucid dreams, the subconscious incubation technique can be a godsend. Firstly, because it does not require any complex visualization or meditation techniques. And secondly, because it requires very little preparation - beyond reading a short, 10-15 minute story before bed. The stories in Lucid Fiction have been very well received - imaginative enough, at least, to trigger an emotional response, and also be a source of enjoyment as an entertaining short story collection in its own right.

he sees
because he is expecting to wake up.
Ironically, that's not far from the truth."
