    Wow, this certainly found some fertile ground on both sides ("believers" and non). After all, we all dream regardless of our belief system.
    I too find it not to be off topic. In the end it's just another thing on the spectrum of consciousness...

    To the techniques...
    20 years ago I started with Castaneda's technique of looking at my hands (like MauGr1). Since then though, there has been a lot of research and generally a lot more people practicing lucid dreaming and sharing their experiences online.
    The most widespread techniques now seem to be these "reality checks" or "reality tests" that you have to perform repeatedly during the waking state, so that you can condition yourself to do it in the dream also.


    1. Ask yourself "Am I dreaming" (always ask this with the other techniques too). Pinch your nose and try to breathe in, with a sense of expectation that it will work.
    2. Read something (a newspaper title, a billboard, a shop sign etc), look away for a couple of seconds, then look back and read again. In dreams, 99% of the times the text will change.
    3. Look at digital clocks. Same as with text technique above. Somehow, the brain can't keep track of the right sequence of time/numbers. This will give you a hint if you're dreaming or not.
    4. Hands. Either look at your hands (not the most reliable way) or try to push one finger through the palm of the other hand.

    One should perform 1 or 2 reality checks to induce lucid dreaming.

    I used Bacopa Monnieri a few times, a natural supplement you can find on Lazada, that helps with memory and dream recollection. It also intensifies dreams. 
    I also just got another supplement called DreamLeaf (available on ebay), which I'm still experimenting with. Seems to be very strong though and I've managed to remember up to 4 vivid dreams in one night alone. No lucid dreams yet.
    In any case, supplements (changing brain chemistry) are just one of 3 fundamentals, the other 2 being timing and psychology (induction techniques).
    I'm reading an excellent book called "Are you dreaming - Exploring Lucid Dreams - A comprehensive Guide" by Daniel Love. 

     

    I often use your technique number 1, almost every time I read any of the posts on Thai Visa.  "Am I dreaming," I ask myself or have I possibly stumbled into the twilight zone.  This topic has awakened many who have ingested too many mind altering drugs or just those with extremely low cognitive abilities.

     

    Anyone who would like to know God, and know why you are here just read the Bible.  It only takes about 72 hours to read from start to finish.  The Bible is the most interesting and informative book ever written.  The reason being, it is the word of God and shows everyone who reads it how to have ever lasting life in Heaven.

     

    Of particular interest to all those alive today, is the Rapture and the Tribulation.  The Bible explains how to be part of the Rapture.  It goes into great detail about why you do not want to experience the Tribulation.  It's up to you to decide where you will spend eternity.  We all have until we take our last breath.  After that it is a done deal.

    I have a brother who seems to be like you,very "religious" and believes everything in the bible.

    The things he does and says i consider to be extremists and in that way he is dangerous.

    All but one person in my family does not speak to him anymore.

    I consider him a total idiot!

    Chances are he feels the same about you.  Thanks for sharing.

    how do you look at other belief systems? Hindu? Buddhism? Jews? Obvious you are christian, and muslims? 

     

    What happens if you are a true believer in another belief system that is with the best intentions and good leaders as good people? Or at least good as a christian or christians can be. A person who ask for forgivnes, and also pray for peace in the world and all the best for every people on the planet? 

    John 14:6  Jesus said to him, “I am the way, and the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me.

  4. The Bible is unique and proves beyond a doubt, God and Jesus Christ are real. Hundreds of years and in some cases over a thousand years before certain events took place, the Bible made precise prophecies concerning those events.

     

    No other sacred book has made such predictions. The Bible is the only book which dared to stake its claim to divinity on the accuracy of its prophecies.  God is the only one who knows the future.

     

    Talking about the future, it may benefit those who deny the word of God, to read Revelation in the Bible to see what is coming our way in the not too distant future.  Revelation is the last book of the Bible.

    After reading the bible, the god described or his regime and words for it do not really appeal to me, and remember, it is the bible who describe heaven and hell, not the devil. It is like believing in Trump, his words about his perfectness and his numbers of how it is going. Sounds familar to me, and I would never voted or followed anyone like trump. 

    Hold that thought and let us know how it works out for you.  Thanks for sharing.

  6. The Bible is very clear in making an exclusive claim on the path to God. “He that believes on the Son has everlasting life; but he that believes not the Son shall not see life; but the wrath of God abides on him”. (John 3:36) “Jesus said unto him, I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man comes unto the Father, but by me” (John 14:6). 

     

    There are only one of two places we will spend eternity.  For those who believe the Bible is a fairy tale, you may want to rub those sleepy little eyes and wake up.  Once you draw your last breath it will be a done deal.  Heaven or Hell, it seems to me as an easy choice.

  7. Does God exist?  Of course He exists.  All one has to do is read the Bible.  

     

    God Himself wrote every word of the Bible through 40 plus men He guided over a period of 1500 plus years of history from 1446 BC to 90 AD.

     

    Why should you believe the Bible is true?  Jesus Christ believed the Bible.  The Apostles and Prophets believed the Bible.  The survival of Gods word is reason to believe the Bible, not to mention prophetic accuracy, scientific accuracy, and historic accuracy of the Bible.

     

    Anyone who can read the Bible and not believe it to be God's word, either has a very low cognitive ability or is being less than truthful about reading the Bible.

     

    We are in the "end times" as foretold in the Bible.  According to the Bible, we are very close to witnessing the Rapture.  You do not want to be a non-believer when this event happens.

  8. I recently reported to CM Immigration for my marriage visa extension.  I was so surprised to see how efficient and friendly the immigration officers were.  The officer who inspects your visa application before you are allowed in the front door was grumpy and less than friendly, which is what I became accustomed to when reporting to CM Immigration.  

     

    However, once we entered the immigration building, everyone was professional and friendly.  It was like being in the twilight zone compared to the last 12 miserable years of reporting to immigration.  It took us 45 minutes to complete the application process.  I was given a date and time to return to immigration for the marriage visa stamp.  

     

    I saw where immigration has a new head of immigration, and what a positive difference he has made over immigrations previous leaders.  I sure hope this new commander will stay in this position and continue to streamline CM Immigration.  

     

    Another observation I couldn't help notice, was how few Westerners were there.  Anyone who doubts the mass exodus of westerners since 2018, just has to visit immigration today to see they are no longer here.

    Also yet abstract belief is life travelled space and infested earth, and have been infested many times durings its time, and highly possible still being infested, but now the atmosphere protects us against some impacts with help from Jupiter. Before atmosphere I find it highly possible that life came from outside. Or it must have been coming from outside and not just started here. Life travel space, abstract truth ????, and maybe possible to prove one day. 

     

    I doubt god or a soul will be proved. 

    Life did come from outside this planet, and God was the creator.  The Bible explains everything to us God wants us to know.  Many of the posters on this site appear to be spiritually blind.  Reading the Bible which Jesus confirmed was the word of God, and praying to Jesus to forgive your sins, will restore your spiritual blindness.

     

    Jesus died on the cross for our sins.  This gift from God is free but you have to ask for it and repent of your sins.  This is not rocket science to figure out.  Everyone will have until their last breath to do this.  After that there are no more chances.  God made us where we will live on for eternity.  Our choices where to live are limited to two destinations, Heaven with God or Hell with Satan.  Only a fool would reject God.

  10. More than likely, the people posting and following this subject will actually witness this event.  Those of you who follow current news in the Middle East, can see this coming our way with the exception of a few non-believers on this site. 

     

    The Rapture is the next major event in God’s timeline of the future.  Christians are waiting for it because Jesus Christ will return and remove them from this evil world before the Tribulation starts.  

     

    The Tribulation is an event the entire world will experience.  It is a seven year period of suffering, war, famine, destruction, pain, and great sorrow.  The prophet Daniel tells us that the first part of the seven year Tribulation lasts for 3.5 years.  It begins when a government leader makes a peace treaty that includes Israel.  This brings peace to the Middle East.

     

    However, in the middle of the Tribulation, the leader ends the peace with Israel and so divine judgment comes onto the world.  Jesus warned us about the last 3.5 years of the Tribulation.  He called these years the “Great Tribulation.

    “You believe in a book that has talking animals, wizards, witches, demons, sticks turning into snakes, burning bushes, food falling from the sky, people walking on water, and all sorts of magical, absurd and primitive stories, and you say that we are the ones that need help?” — Mark Twain

    Did you know the Bible is the only book in the world that has accurate prophecy?  When you read the prophecies of the Bible, you simply have to stand back in awe.  There are over 300 precise prophecies that deal with the Lord Jesus Christ in the Old Testament that are fulfilled in the New Testament.  To say that these are fulfilled by chance is an astronomical impossibility.

     

    The Bible is one book, and yet it is made up of 66 books, was written by at least 40 different authors over a period of about 1600 years, in 13 different countries and on three different continents.  It was written in at least three different languages by people in all professions.  The Bible forms one beautiful temple of truth that does not contradict itself theologically, morally, ethically, doctrinally, scientifically, historically, or in any other way.

     

    The Bible is truly God’s Word and is supernaturally protected by Him.  It should not surprise us that, no matter how the Bible is attacked, it always comes out unchanged and unscathed.  After all, Jesus said, “Heaven and earth will pass away, but my words will never pass away” (Mark 13:31).  After looking at the evidence, one can say without a doubt that, yes, the Bible is truly God’s Word.

    The blood test taken many hours later does implicate him for cocaine usage but does not prove he was high when the incident occurred.

    Lol, I believe the cocaine in this imbeciles blood is the least of his problems.  The guy hit a police officer from the rear of the motorcycle and kept driving, dragging the officers body on the pavement instead of stopping and calling the police and an ambulance.  

     

    The Red Bull heir hit and run should be an embarrassment to the Bangkok Police Department, Thailands legal system, and the country of Thailand.  This case clearly demonstrates wealthy Thais being above the law with no regard for others.  The Red Bull heir should be prosecuted to the full extent of the law.

    Instead of a guilt-ridden prayer about the 'sin' of not having totally submitted to Jesus as son of God, one could also choose for the christian prayer inserted below, which is of a totally different caliber and universally applicable.

    Note: It was posted some time ago by @Neeranam - thank you for that.

     

    Lord, make me a channel of Thy peace;

    that where there is hatred, I may bring love;

    that where there is wrong, I may bring the spirit of forgiveness;

    that where there is discord, I may bring harmony;

    that where there is error, I may bring truth;

    that where there is doubt, I may bring faith;

    that where there is despair, I may bring hope;

    that where there are shadows, I may bring light;

    that where there is sadness, I may bring joy.

    Lord, grant that I may seek rather

    to comfort, than to be comforted;

    to understand, than to be understood;

    to love, than to be loved. 

    For it is by self forgetting, that one finds.

    It is by forgiving, that one is forgiven.

    It is by dying, that one awakens to Eternal Life.

    Amen.

     

    You should read the Bible Peter.  In John 14:6, Jesus says, “I am the way and the truth and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me.”

     

  14. If your heart desires to know Jesus, pray something like this: 

     

    Lord Jesus, I know that I have sinned and that I am not worthy of Your forgiveness. But the Bible tells me that You died to forgive all my sins. I know You promise that if I turn from my sins and trust in You, You will grant me forgiveness. 

     

    I confess my sins and I profess my faith in You.  I believe that You died for my sins and that You rose from the dead. I desire to know You. I ask that You forgive my sins and grant me eternal life with You, and help me to live my life in a way that pleases You.  

     

    In Your name, I pray.  Amen.

     

    Once you take your last breath it will be too late to ask Jesus to forgive you of your sins.

    No proof Khun Boss was drunk.

    No proof Khun Boss was high on cocaine.

    No proof Khun Boss was speeding.

    No proof Khun Boss was driving recklessly.

     

    2 eye witnesses say they saw the policeman ride into the front of Khun boss's vehicle.

     

    Seems to me the correct call has been made dropping the charges, hardly condoning the killing of a policeman.

    If you would have read the police reports, the Red Bull heir had traces of cocaine in his blood and was obviously speeding and driving reckless.  More importantly, this fool never bothered to stop his vehicle after hitting the police officer and continued to drive away from the accident dragging the police officer.  

     

    Can you say "Hit and Run"?  Leaving the scene of an accident after damaging property or worst yet injuring people is illegal even in a country like Thailand.

     Research reveals that Biblical literalism is strongly correlated with a host of social maladies and inhumane world-views. For instance, people who think the Bible is the literal word of God are more likely to physically abuse their children, harbour hatred of homosexuals, deny the evidence for climate change, love semi-automatic assault weapons, oppose women’s equality, oppose humane treatment of animals, oppose universal-subsidised health care, and to vote for incompetent, unintelligent, unhinged men for president. 

                

     The Bible fosters moral-outsourcing, which is when an individual does not base their moral decisions on their own conscience, or on matters of harming or helping others, or on empathy and compassion, but on simply and blindly obeying the commandments of a magic invisible deity. — Psychology Today  

    Maybe you should hold that thought and let us know how it works out for you on the day of judgement kneeling before Jesus Christ.  It is hard to believe how you can believe what is written in "Psychology Today" over what is written in the Bible.
