Sleep is not just a time of rest. This is an immersion in a certain state, which gives you the opportunity to explore yourself, your inner world. Dreams see everything, but not everyone remembers them, and certainly not everyone knows that the process of sleep and events in it can be controlled.

Psychologist's comment
What is guided sleep?
The possibilities of guided sleep are endless. Thanks to him, you can interact with your subconscious, improving certain skills, working on getting rid of fears or bad habits, restoring psychological health.
To learn how to apply the technique of controlled sleep, it will take about 2-3 weeks. At the same time, it is necessary to devote to its development only half an hour a day.
Phases of managed sleep
Managed sleep includes 3 phases, it is necessary to start learning from 1 and 3, then work on the 2nd phase is attached to them.
-
Going to sleep The phase is based on self-hypnosis and auto-training. - Being in a state of controlled sleep and working on a thoughtful plan with the subconscious.
- Exit from a state of sleep, which is combined with a stimulating psychosuggestion.
Going to sleep The phase is based on self-hypnosis and auto-training.There are several features that must be considered before entering a controlled dream. A person should be in a state of inadequate, able to control what is happening. If you regularly fall asleep uncontrollably, then master the technique will not work.
The important point is the position during sleep. The sitting position is considered to be the most appropriate, ideally - in the so-called coachman pose. Under too comfortable conditions - lying on the couch surrounded by a dozen soft pillows - there is a high probability of transition from managed sleep to normal.
Entry into managed sleep can make over exercise and stress difficult.
Also for controlled sleep, you must choose a time when no one will disturb you. Subsequently, when you learn to manage sleep, this item will not be so important.
First stage
At the first stage it is necessary to learn how to relax and warm the body. Autogenous methods are used for this. It is necessary to master the following sequence of actions:
- complete relaxation of limbs, organs, tissues;
- mentally fill all parts of the body with heat, at the same time the head should always remain cold;
- creating a feeling of heaviness in the limbs;
- control of these conditions; it is necessary to learn how to call them and hold for a certain amount of time (conceived by you), both in combination with each other, and separately.
So, take a comfortable sitting position and close your eyes. For entering a controlled dream, a small ball of ruby color is about 5 mm in size. The ball rotates, rejects glare. It is necessary to concentrate on it.
It is necessary to prepare for the transition from wakefulness to the phase of controlled sleep. To do this, start counting from 1 to 20. In the future, this stage will take less time, and up to 10 will be enough.
If you have chosen the evening, then limit yourself to a light dinner and stop taking alcoholic beverages, smoking and taking sleeping pills. If possible, start training.
Managed sleep is a dream in which you are fully aware of what is happening, you understand that you are asleep, and you can change events and control them.
Before you start, you need to say the following text: “I begin to count to 10, with a score of 10, I will sleep soundly, and my mind will control all the processes that are going on.”
Each account must be accompanied by text. For example, “one — my legs relax, every muscle and cell fill with calmness,” etc. The text can be made independently, it should not be too long, 3-4 sentences for each account are enough. After relaxation, do not forget to call the feeling of warmth and heaviness.
At the expense of 10, you still have to watch the ruby ball, but already in a state of sleep.
Third stage
From learning the first stage is recommended to go directly to the third. The text before the exit can be something like this: “at the expense of 10 I wake up and open my eyes, my mind controls all the processes in the body”. And just like at the stage of going to sleep, it is necessary to count to 10, returning normal sensations to all parts of the body.
The development of the first and third stages give a good therapeutic effect, which is useful to people who are constantly faced with stressful conditions. There is a recovery of the nervous system, normal activity of the body as a whole, the respiratory and cardiac systems, improves brain function.
Second phase
After working out the 1st and 3rd stages, you can proceed to the 2nd. It takes no more than a week to master it during daily trainings.
The stage has the name “journey through spaces” and includes the following steps:
- moving from transitional space to working;
- performing the task in the workspace;
- exit from the workspace.
Entry and exit from managed sleep
It is necessary to choose a transitional and working space in advance. The scenario in which all actions are performed in a controlled dream is drawn up in advance. Beginners better not to choose complex scenes taken from science fiction films.
For example, a tunnel with a door at the end or a staircase can be represented as a transitional space. Behind the door the working space begins - it must also be thought out with precision. Choose it based on the goal you set for yourself.
For example, if you want to get out of a state of fatigue filled with negative emotions, immerse yourself in an atmosphere that once brought joy and peace. Many of these moments are associated with childhood. Opening the door to the workspace, you can see the places that you have traveled, relatives and friends with, shared with which gave you a feeling of happiness.
However, such a dream can be used not only to restore the state of mental balance. At this time, you can deal with tasks related to completely different areas. The highest concentration of the brain on solving a problem in real life has turned a huge number of times to finding answers in a dream.
Often, even in ordinary dreams, we live in the same situation that worries us in reality. Not finding the right answer, along with the waking state comes weakness and fatigue. Managed sleep gives you the opportunity to find a solution and come to peace. That is why exactly the specified scenario is so important.
At the moment when you enter the workspace, you need to turn around to fix the place of exit from it. This is a very important point - it is in this way that you will return to normal. Having performed the necessary actions in the working space, you (by the marked path) go back, through the transition, to the ruby ball. Being in the workspace can last from 5 to 10 minutes.
This is followed by the last, third stage of guided sleep.
To understand that you did everything right is simple enough. After returning from a controlled sleep, you will be filled with a sense of calm, harmony, satisfaction.
