Vaj, can you describe some of those attributes?
Control over waking, sleeping and dreaming--a very easy thing to
determine. Decreased need for sleep--most realizers I've hung with
always slept around four hours or so and looked a lot better than me
in the morning :-); again, very easy to determine. Complete awareness
during sleep--also, very easy to determine as the "sleeper" can give
details of what transpired in his/her vicinity. Interestingly this
last one was used in a study design at MIU for a person MMY believed
was in "CC", being familiar with this basic criterion. He was/is a
member of this list and it turns out he wasn't in CC at all but
instead had central sleep apnea and was thus just being used to
foster a false claim for promotion purposes. I first read about it
years ago in the Brain/Mind Bulletin as MIU was really touting the
claim. As with many of the traditional claims (dramatically lowered
metabolic rate, etc.) as soon as they're found independently to be
false claims, they move onto some other scheme.
Of course the biggie is to be able to go into introverted samadhi for
the desired length of time (hours, days).
