Grazie per la risposta! Per incubazione intendo il pensare fortemente a qualcosa (con le dovute tecniche) affinché 1) il sogno non lucido abbia dei tratti comuni all'intenzione che abbiamo riposto durante l'incubazione dello stesso; 2) nel sogno lucido sia più facile andare dove si desidera o incontrare chi si vuole, etc.
Cito il passaggio presente in un libro che sto leggendo (questa parte è presente anche su Google, come campione gratuito. Il libro è scritto da Clare Johnson, che ha fatto una tesi di dottorato sul sogno lucido):
Incubating a dream simply means asking for a dream. Dream incubation is a
simple but powerful technique that has been practised for millennia. In ancient
Greece, the ruins of dream incubation temples show that the practice endured as
an institution for a thousand years. In those times, the wisdom of a deity was
invoked in dreams to provide healing or protection in childbirth or to help
recover a “lost” soul. These days, people are likely to ask their dreams for help
with problem solving, health issues, or relationship questions.
Dream incubation can also help you to become lucid. If you set the firm
intention to dream of, say, horses, and focus on this desire and visualise it
happening, when you do dream of horses, you will very likely recognise that you
are dreaming.
To incubate a dream, you have to really want it: willpower is a key tool. Some
people find it helpful to put a visual representation of what they want to dream
about (a photo, drawing, or object) under their pillow or beside their bed. Others
ritualise the experience by having a candlelit bath before bed, meditating or
praying, and sleeping in a different place. Everyone is different, so experiment to
discover what works best for you.
My way of incubating a dream is simple. I carry out no rituals, but as I close my
eyes to sleep, I shout inside my head, “Dreaming mind!” Then I clearly
formulate a single question or request, such as “How can I get past my block
with this novel?” or “Let me fly to the stars in my dreams!” That’s it. Then I sail
off to sleep and pay special attention to dreams I have over the following nights.
(I repeat my call nightly until a dream comes.)If you want to keep dream incubation simple and are neither ritualistic nor much
of a shouter, write a sentence on paper stating what you would like to dream
about. Keep it simple. Then stay alert to the dreams that come along.
When you successfully incubate a dream, you are already more than halfway to
becoming lucid in your dreams. You have communicated with your dreaming
mind and received a response! You have successfully influenced the content of
your dreams. If you combine dream incubation with a lucidity induction
technique such as WBTB, you could soon find yourself lucid in the dream of
your choice
Diciamo che principalmente mi riferivo a questo, che è molto motivante, ma pensando ai miei fallimenti mi fa pensare che forse non siamo tutti uguali e alcuni ci riescono più facilmente. Sbaglio?
Season of mists and mellow fruitfulness,
Close bosom-friend of the maturing sun;
Conspiring with him how to load and bless
With fruit the vines that round the thatch-eves run;
To bend with apples the moss’d cottage-trees,
And fill all fruit with ripeness to the core...
(John Keats)
