Seth suggested imagining walking on water before sleep, with inner ear listening and inner eye watching, repeated at least 30–35 times before doing other projection exercises.

赛斯建议睡前想象行走于水面,内耳倾听、内眼观看,重复至少30-35次后再做其他投射练习。

This program treats the Seth Material as a source of hypotheses, not as doctrine to be validated. Lead dossiers are AI-compiled from the corpus with a book-and-session citation after every statement; literature reviews are AI web-search summaries whose references were all DOI-verified against Crossref; the agenda draft is an AI synthesis. None of it is Seth's original text, and none of it represents scientific consensus. English fields are machine-translated; the Chinese text is authoritative.

Adjudicating experiment
Randomize about 360 people to water-walking imagery, a matched-vividness ordinary walking imagery, or an active sensory-attention control, train for 6 weeks with 2-week follow-up; then randomize nightly repetitions of 10, 35, or 60 times, matching total practice duration and expectancy. Use pre-registered dream reports as the full-sample outcome, and in a subsample of about 120 in a sleep laboratory, verify lucid dreams with polysomnography and agreed eye-movement criteria. If 30–35 refers to practice sessions rather than nightly repetitions, a separate study of 30–35 nights or more is required; doses must not be conflated.

Presleep Visuomotor Imagery and Repetition Dose in Lucid Dream Induction: A Pre-Registered Randomized Trial
What it would overturn
If water imagery and the 30–35 threshold have independent effects, this would revise the model that induction benefits are fully explained by general practice amount, expectancy, and attentional training.

Specificity of Seth's formulation
The imagery content and repetition count are relatively specific and can generate content-specificity and dose-threshold predictions; but projection success still needs operational definition, and lucid dreams cannot automatically serve as proxy evidence.
Note
No paper testing the complete prescription was found in this search; if the goal includes acquiring external information unknown to the participant, isolated random targets and pre-registered scoring should be added; subjective out-of-body sensations cannot be used as evidence.
