1. Relax completely
While lying in bed, gently close your eyes and relax your head, neck, back, arms, and legs.
Completelylet go of all muscular and mental tension, and breathe slowly and resfully. Enjoy
the feeling of relaxation and let go of your thoughts, worries, and concerns. If you have just
awakened from sleep, you are probably sufficiently relaxed. Otherwise, you may use either the
progressive relaxation exercise (page 53) or the 61-point relaxation exercise (page 54) to relax
more deeply. Let everything wind down, slower and slower, more and more relaxed, until your
mind becomes as serene as the calmest sea.

2. Observe the visual images
Gently focus your attention on the visual images that will gradually appear before your mind’s
eye. Watch how the images begin and end. Try to observe the images as delicately as possible,
allowing them to be passively reflected in your mind as they unfold. Do not attempt to hold
onto the images, but instead just watch without attachment or desire for action. While doing
this, try to take the perspective of a detached observer as much as possible. At first you will see
a sequence of disconnected, fleeting patterns and images. The images will gradually develop
into scenes that become more and more complex, finally joining into extended sequences.

3. Enter the dream
When the imagery becomes a moving, vivid scenario, you should allow yourself to be passively
drawn into the dream world. Do not try to actively enter the dream scene, but instead continue
to take a detached interest in the imagery. Let your involvement with what is happening draw
you into the dream. But be careful of too much involvement and too little attention. Don’t
forget that you are dreaming now!
