Rain Noise and Wonderlands

[Deadlykid]

So I like to listen to rain, one time when I was visualizing my wonderland with some rain noise, it helped greatly to imaging it was raining.

 

Anyone else do something similar?

I tried it once while taking a shower in the wonderland and it felt quite a bit more vivid, but I wasn't able to reproduce that feeling on a second occasion (I haven't tried it much either).

It's actually one of my favorite ways to link myself into the wonderland. The last time I did this I spent the afternoon out on the porch with my tups. I remember temperatures were very vivid. I could feel that I had a cup of cocoa, taste it, and I can really remember the coldness and humidity of the air. Very very vivid experience.

I almost always active force with some kind of sound generator. If we're going to the beach, I use beach sounds, fishing I use river sounds. If we're going to be going through the forest or something of the like, I use wind sounds or something similar. I'm also a big fan of droning tones and drumming.

I don't usually concoct 'Wonderlands'; meditation often leads me effortlessly to all kinds of inner spaces and subconscious paracosms, similar to what you might experience in a lucid dream.

 

I'm afraid if I used a rain sound generator, I'd probably end up with something a lot like this.

That is truly bizarre. And the second time that Kevin has watched it. I just hope he never watches Warhol.

 

I'm very glad now it is always "sunny outside" in the Memory House. I'd have creepy dreams otherwise. I try to not dream in any case.

...and all of INLAND EMPIRE, and classic Dali...

 

Yessss...

 

As far as sounds helping me to induce 'mindscapes' and involuntary paracosns, droning music of a very particular variety has always been my poison of choice. For example, Jeff Greinke's 'Cities in Fog', or anything by Biosphere, especially his '

' album.

 

Both artists are very adept and highly regarded sound sculptors. I'd have to say my most profound experiences, including dreams, have been influenced by them.

I've had good experiences in immersing myself in my wonderland (pun not intended) by sticking my hand in the waterfall or meltwater stream there. Snowmelt is crazy cold, so if I feel if my concentration is slipping, I stick my hand in it or splash some on my face to shock myself back there. Not totally related, but similar.

That actually sounds like it would be a really good way to snap you back into the "reality" of you wonderland. I'm going to have to try something like that next time it's hard to stay in the "now" there.

 

Back on subject: I really like sound generators because they are constant (unless you are working with one that has a timer, and then it's still just kuddos for you), if I'm listening to an artist produced soundscape, even if the "song" is long, I find the change from one tack to the next to be intrusive and sometimes it almost feels like I'm starting my entire session over.

I like to listen to things such as this when I am tulpaforcing. Really puts me in that "mystical mood", so to speak.
