 Do you practise Oclumency? |

I've never really tried Occlumency or even thought to try.
Maybe i´ll try it once.
But when i´m lying in bed i often or ever think of many things and i hope to dream of Potter and the Harry Potter world.
i´m not always sucessful.
But sometimes i am. 
But if i do Occlumency i wouldn´t dream of things i like.
I would dream of my school, of my written test or / and pupils i don´t like.
It wouldn´t be funny if these dreams would happen more frequently.
Sorry for my poor english

Yeah I try to do oclumency sometimes with music.
Often I fall alseep with the music.
yes, I dreamed from the Harry Potter world. But I love it more, when I dream sth. about Daniel (he's my hero * 
*)
Hope you understand me

Yes, sometimes I'm doing it. Especially when I can't falll asleep. It really helps if you have sleeping problems.
But I hope I will never have the same reason like Harry for practising it .

(I think I like this board because I can't really write german... :p.)
I don't really practise Occlumency just because 'it's a Harry Potter thing' but I think it really works... When something bothers me and I can't stop thinking about it, then I use it... But it isn't just 'clearing my mind and try to think about nothing' because that doesn't work...
I read quite some fanfiction about Occlumency (since they don't give that much information in the HP books) and I've found a method that works, it is a little the same like they say, but, for you can't think about , you have to "aknowledge your thoughts (of feears or whatever you're thinking about) and let them go". Basically it's thinking like this: "Okay, I agree, I am worried about this-or-that and now I'm going to stop thinking about it and trying to ignore that feeling". If you can call that Occlumency, then I do Occlumency.
But there's one thing. I'm a Christian, so I don't like mediating (you know, yoga, TM that kind of stuff) at all, so I'm also reluctant with Occlumency. However, unti now I know it works, so eh well, I heep doing it when I need it

Actually... I cant fall asleep if I got something on my mind…
…
I always try to keep my mind clear before I go to bed, otherwise I lay awake the hole night… and that really makes me mad. 
There is nothing I hate more then that… *bother*bother* … excluded chickenliver an those ugly German pancake’s …. Uhhh~h… liver…. ugly… disgusting…*tremble* 
But I’m not sure that you can call it Occlumency… no… not really…

I don't try to "close" my mind before going sleep, rather sometimes I try leglimency when somebody si watching me strange and I think: "Oh, why does he watch so strange?" And then I try to imagine, why he watches me so strange!
I know that sounds funny

I can't believe anyone started a thread like this... cause I actually do it, i do Occlumency sometimes before sleeping.. didn't think anyone else was doing that.
First, i always tried it every time i read the scene in OotP where Snape explains to Harry how to empty his mind and it's incredibly difficult.... you can't just think of and get rid of ALL of your feelings but with practising it works..
now I do it if i can't sleep at night. It kind of helps, really

I know exactly what you mean!
The bed is a perfect place for thinking and "day"dreaming for hours and hours... 
So when I really want to fall asleep I always say to myself "think about nothing"
...Sometimes it works...

*sigh* Don't reckon it's worth a try. I suck at that type of thing - there's always loads and loads of stuff on my mind, it would take hours to "get rid" of that, and even then, there'd still be something left that bothers me - like thinking about trying hard not to think
or something. Naah, I guess it doesn't work, at least not the way it does in the books. I mean, you cannot think about nothing at all, you always think, even if it happens only subconsciously. Of course, you can try to calm down and relax and stuff, but I am too much of a hectic person to really manage that kind of thing. Plus I am sure no one's able to read my thoughts anyway, so why bother trying?
Well, I guess it wouldn't hurt if I tried to calm down a bit sometimes, and concentrate a little more (hmm... or, in this connexion, it might somehow be more appropriate to talk about concentrating ... sort of^^. Or not focusing so much on something in particular... sounds weird
) BUT I am far, far too impatient.
Well, I remember I used to do that type of game... thingy... whatever^^, when I was little - I wondered whether it is possible not to think at all, so I tried to free myself of all thoughts. After a while, it turned out I simply stood there thinking "I'm not thinking, I'm not thinking..."... so much for that.

i could never ever do this. whenever i am lying in bed i am thinking about hundreds of things, because i am soooo bored and hope that i fall asleep more easily o.O
well, i just tried mediating once in my life and it was really great. the time passed extremely fast and i just had the feeling that i got rid of all bad thoughts. well, when this is occlumency, than i practiced occlumency once in my life. ^^

I tryed to practice it a few times...
And when I try, I start with thinking of only ONE thing: BLACK,BLACK,...and nothing else.^^
It sounds crazy but sometimes it helps to free your mind...
