In this article I will outline a technique I synthesized and developed over several years, sustaining a lucid dreaming and out of body practice every night with consistency, direction, and coherence. This is a technique which supports lucid dreaming as an act of companionships with the cosmos as a living dreamer. It also constitutes a methodology to better study and understand the nature of consciousness and the building blocks of matter and fundamental fields. Deconstructive (rather than other ways to use lucidity, of which there are many) dream research is especially useful for understanding the intersection of subjective phenomena and objective noumena. It is a field of transpersonal discovery which yields a rich and nearly unlimited range of topics, specializations, and valuable insights. 

The DLD technique is founded on a working model of dreaming that addresses biological and nonlocal networks with which dreams network, sustain, and build symmetry. Each dream carries within it a center of gravity; although this is relatively the same frame of reference one deploys while awake, in dreams this center can be translated and relocated in interesting ways. We change our perspectives all the time and hardly notice how this correlates with a change in sensation, perception, interoception, metacognition, etc. We may also miss the constant dialoguing between raw perception, environmental circumstances, and nonlocal phenomena. In dreaming, it is easier to notice this underlying dynamics, which can synthesize a plurality of locations, times, events, and relationships, along with the emergent properties and fundamental forces which engender them. In particular, DLD leans dreaming toward the experiential observations of emergent properties and fundamental forces.

This technique increases the effectiveness and efficacy of lucid dreaming while also elucidating a reality model observed/experienced at the level of deeply deconstructed dreams. All dreams are deconstructive and translative to some degree. On a subjective level, we might even say that the core function and purpose of dreams is to hunt for static points of memory, emotion, and identity in order to deconstruct and assimilate their properties. In doing so, dreams express significant therapeutic power. In general, they rebalance and optimize our autonomic physiological functioning with our higher cognitive capabilities. DLD cooperates and empowers this naturally occurring process, taking it further to bridge gaps between self and other, self and time, self and cosmos, etc. There is an optimization not only with the deepest parts of self, but with the deepest parts of reality.

We ordinarily entrain ourselves to experience dreaming as unconsciously generated fantasy. This superficial function can be subsumed (never bypassed) in order to identify nonlocal aspects of the cosmos which steadily stream through dreaming. If we learn to “catch” this undertow, it grants us great harmony, perception, and vital power. DLD takes us even further, ensuring that this power is not rendered into bizarre symbology, mythological inspiration, or unintegrated urging (or trauma). If we use lucidity to enter dreaming at the most fundamental level, we can sublimate nearly everything that arises, discovering our intersection with a nonlocal self. This is the place/process DLD seeks to enter: a level of reality which the dreamer can enter, observe, discover, and return to report about. It also a process of courage and love, because one must learn to welcome the unknown without fear, patiently tending to a slow and steady process of understanding and becoming.  

DLD Technique

1. In order to become lucid in dreams, one must genuinely anticipate reality as a fluid transcorporeal, transpersonal, transobjective spectrum.

2. In order to become lucid with stability and duration, one must free up, enrich, and refine one’s vital, somatic energies as much as possible.

3. In order to use lucidity to deconstruct layers of reality, one must reorient their cosmology, ideology, identity, and cognitive functioning in order to be absolutely true to what one experiences: awake, asleep, always.

4. In dreams and while awake, reality is deconstructed with lucid felt sensation: an active momentum defined by emotional rising, psychophysiological expansion, the pulling apart of all arising sensation, and contact with a higher energetic nonlocal wave front.

This maneuver is performed both in dreams and while awake (more easily at first through meditative experiences or focused, interiorized activity). In the beginning, it is often accompanied by strong vibrating of the nerves and muscles, physical heating, highly polarized and coherent emotions (i.e. ecstasy or pain), involuntary out of body projection, and altered states of consciousness. In lucid dreaming, with practice, dreams can be fully deconstructed into primeval fields of energy, geometry, abstract information, etc. with little or no subject personification and association. Lucid deconstruction is not an analysis or an intellectual exercise. It is a practice of entering into superposition with reality, then becoming/existing as oneself on a more fundamental level. It is a maneuver that can be practiced both awake and asleep, and theoretically all the time. It is a visceral connection that can be cultivated to live on the skin and vibrate deep in the body, adding transdimensional force and variety to an otherwise immobile and static bandwidth of sensation and perception. It would take volumes (read the full thesis and/or some of the articles on this site) to elaborate the nature of this technique, its theoretical premise, and the elements of a sustained practice over many years/decades. It is not actually a “dream technique” at all, in fact, and is more accurately a transobjective cosmology and way of life. DLD’s larger goal is to redefine the purpose, function, and potential of our species For now, I will end this general introduction with a brief elaboration of each of the four components of DLD outlined above. 

In order to become lucid in dreams, one must genuinely anticipate reality as a fluid transcorporeal, transpersonal, transobjective spectrum.

Lucidity can be produced by triggering interconnectivity between hemispheres of the brain, between masculine and feminine associations and inner personalities, between chronological time periods, between opposing perspectives, choices, memories, emotions, etc. Classically, lucidity arises from the juxtaposition of expectations between waking and dreaming. However, these flashes of lucidity are better understood at sudden, temporary, and brief movements of perception across spectrums of reality we cannot ordinarily experience or relate to. Lucidity is triggered when consciousness physically transitions or translates itself across nonlocal fields, usually induced by expectation, intent, then “muscle memory”. Lucidity is essentially an experience of mobility. However, on a more profound layer, it is a temporary gap in a stream of consciousness permitted indirectly due to dreaming’s affinity with reality. It is an experience of being able to move within and beyond ourselves, often accompanied by a sense of freedom, greater verisimilitude, and self-realization. When we are awake, we experience this dynamic as well, and especially when we move through physical or temporal (i.e. reflective or developmental) spaces that are either transitional or multifaceted.

In order to become lucid with stability and duration, one must free up, enrich, and refine one’s vital, somatic energies as much as possible.

Deconstructive lucid dreaming is always an exercise of resource management within larger and larger ecologies of transpersonal energy. Sometimes we have nonlocal experiences within our own body or worldlines, and other times beyond any known or conceivable reference point, but strong dreaming is always exchange: it takes energy, it receives energy, and it synthesizes energy. Lucidity can be sustained for a momentary blast, over the course of an entire night of well directed dreaming, for weeks on end both awake and asleep, and also permanently–even accompanying dreamers across lifetimes. In order to sustain superlucidity beyond a temporary burst, tremendous energy must be acquired, substantiated, harmonized, individuated, and reinvested. If we can enrich ourselves with a balance of healthy experiences, foods, friendships, communities, philosophies, art and music, etc., we will integrate complexity and grow very lucid over time. This also implies an effective inner organizing principle (love, acceptance, compassion, nonjudgement, etc.) which, on the one hand, weaves vital experiences with the myriad aspects of our inner personalities and deepest desires, and on the other hand removes the fragmentation and blocks inherited and self-perpetuated over the course of our lives (and those inherited from our families and ancestors). From the perspective of dreaming, these blocks “leak” lucidity. Acquiring vitality and deeply investing in it with authenticity makes for “watertight” dreaming.

In order to use lucidity to deconstruct layers of reality, one must reorient their cosmology, ideology, identity, and cognitive functioning in order to be absolutely true to what one experiences: awake, asleep, always.

Lucidity is both a byproduct of reality deconstruction and an expression of its primeval self-generation. To incarnate in a physical body, acquire coherent subjective experiences, and live in a universe capable of producing mass and time, lucidity is a fundamental element. This is because lucidity is an emergent dynamic sustained by primeval movement, change, and relationship (transobjective relativity) which permits singularity (absolute reality) to bind with itself, or drop out of phase with itself. This self-engendering property of the cosmos (dreaming) creates countless dimensions, or variations of primeval relativity, one of which is the physical universe we exist in and transit through as dreaming/dream sub-emanations. At a nonlocal level, what we think of as “memory” is actually a phase coherence with this cosmological architecture. Dreams allow us to remember anything and everything as ourselves, permitted we are harmoniously organized and oriented to ourself with equivalent understanding/being. Self-realization, in this respect, is a kind of primeval dream equivalency with a level of supercomplexity we must learn to relate to as ourselves.   

In dreams and while awake, reality is deconstructed with lucid felt sensation: an active momentum defined by emotional rising, psychophysiological expansion, the pulling apart of all arising sensation, and contact with a higher energetic nonlocal wave front.

At the core of DLD theory and practice is the idea that opportunities arrive to interpenetrate, transcend, experience, record, and return from the absolute limits of reality and self. In ordinary dreams, the people one experiences can be deconstructed, revealing a stable constellation of inner personalities–or collective, interdependent nodes of memory, vitality, and volition. The environments in one’s dreams can also be deconstructed, leading successive approximations of the “soul”–an interrotating, semi-temporal transpersonal memory complex. Various symbols and scenarios can also be deconstructed in dreams, leading to larger reservoirs of collective and transobjective energy, as well as thresholds of hyperspace defined by non-euclidian architecture terminating in other dimensions, universes, etc. At the farthest elastic limit of dreaming, deconstruction leads to a void space: an oscillating equilibrium/event horizon of extreme lucidity, coherence, and total deconstruction (the absence of distortion/form). This final threshold can also be crossed, folding into a dimensionless overvoid in which lucidity and energy are absent in the presence of an infinitely deconstructive hyperspace (which is able to contain and embody infinite probability and zero relativity). DLD consists of many attempts to arrive and return from this place and its preliminary antecedents. Deep deconstruction is often accompanied by meaningful, transcendental states of ecstasy and oneness. The maximum expression of this technique leads to a field inversion of consciousness and, theoretically, a repolarization of mass. However, strong interactions with field phenomena also lead to volatility and dispersion, which can over accelerate deconstruction. This can lead to psychic and mental trauma, in extreme cases psychosis and death. It is best to proceed slowly and carefully.

A final note on Deconstructive Lucid Dreaming and Primeval Equivalency.

From the perspective of dreaming, when we feel connected to ourselves, our emotions, the time and space around and inside us, etc. we are engaging a mechanism of equivalency with the emergent directives of reality. Ordinarily, we exist in a derivative state, defined by reflexive properties and sedimentary field distortions. When the energy within and around our body establishes a level of complexity equivalent with the primeval nature of the cosmos, we enter reality through our own ground of being. We attempt this dream maneuver every night when we sleep, and often during the day through our own existential and artistic desires, which push and pull us through the cosmos. Engaging in a lucid dream practice, we begin the slow and methodical process of removing inhibitions and blocks we have inherited and sustained (perhaps over lifetimes), regaining a sense of profound completion and connection with ourselves–with self as cosmos. Lucid dreaming, therefore, is the art of accumulating complexity, deconstructing levels of reality, and regaining orientation and equilibrium with an ultimate, transobjective ground of being.
