Déjà vu is French for “Already Seen” and Déjà Rêvé is French for “Already Dreamed”. Often people who experience Déjà Vu link the origin of the familiar memory to something they have dreamed days, weeks, months and even years before they experienced “Déjà Vu”. Déjà Rêvé suggests that dreams have a direct and relative relationship with physical reality. If so, then understanding and exploring this is critical to science and critical to understanding the origins of “reality”. &lt;/i&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;Feel free to comment on this abstract.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;Happy Dreaming!&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;Ian Wilson&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/1818683220437348242-296212783854311830?l=you-are-dreaming.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://you-are-dreaming.blogspot.com/feeds/296212783854311830/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://you-are-dreaming.blogspot.com/2011/02/deja-vu-or-deja-reve.html#comment-form' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/1818683220437348242/posts/default/296212783854311830'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/1818683220437348242/posts/default/296212783854311830'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://you-are-dreaming.blogspot.com/2011/02/deja-vu-or-deja-reve.html' title='Déjà Vu or Déjà Rêvé?'/><author><name>Ian Wilson</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/09312115730377763162</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1818683220437348242.post-4069110833139413101</id><published>2010-08-29T07:40:00.001-07:00</published><updated>2010-08-29T07:40:38.058-07:00</updated><title type='text'>August 29th, 2010 - Non-lucids.</title><content type='html'>&lt;-- START MD5 ENCRYPTION --&gt;&lt;br /&gt;All HTML Tags must be stripped from this text.

There is a social gathering with a few people from his Church.  We are talking about the "truth" and I am listening.  His guests leave and I go to mix a rum and coke, but there is no more coke left.  I decide that I don't want to drink and head off to bed.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I have a dream within the dream where I am now living out in the wilderness with a group of survivors.  We have compound bows and are off hunting for deer.  We walk through forest as well as follow a road.  At on point we come to a dugout that has been well setup.  One of the group members investigates it and the others keep moving onwards in the hunt.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I stay back and wait with the guy.  Then the owner of the dugout comes back and sees us, he's not to happy about us being there but we haven't really disturbed anything.  He has a bow armed and pointed at us, we talk with him and he relaxes.  He tells us it's pretty stupid to be in someone elses encampment that he could have shot us had he not suspected that we were nice.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;We talk for a bit and he turns and shoots at a bird and nisses with his bow.  He wants to take us to this old abandoned building that he says they have setup as kind of a base camp.  We walk with him to this abandoned town.  We walk through a steel door into a spider ridden corridor, I don't like the spiders and use a kids toy to bat down any webs in my way.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;We walk into an open area, it's damp and  dirty.  For some reason I have two scorpions with me, one with claws and the other without.  I am protecting the one scorpion with-out claws from the one with claws.  The one with claws goes to close to the other one and I push it away.  It get's aggressive and stings my knee.  I then smack it out of the way.  Apparently they are not venomous and I don't worry about the sting.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Dream 2:  I am with some guy that I don't know.  He kind of has long dark brown hair, in his 30's and kind of rock-starish.  He is definately in a band, there are photos of him.  He kind of reminds me of Chris Angel in appearance, but isn't that person.  We are driving in his truck and are going to a party.  We get to a house with other people and start there. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;There are a couple of people sitting on a couch when we get inside.  The kitchen table has lots of different alchohol to mix drinks with.  There is a woman there who is quite skinny, has freckles and her teeth are a bit on the stained side.  She is talking with this guy and they seem to be hitting it off.  She has to be in her early twenties or even very late teens 19-21 and I think she's way to young for this guy but it's not my business and I go in the living room.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The guy's on the couch are being funny and cracking rude jokes.  They are making fun of some one's wife saying she is a whore because she's slept with everyone in the room.  I say she is like a moss covered cavern, you don't realize how big it is until you get inside.  They laugh, we are quite silly.  There is a piano there and I sit down and start playing it.  They are happy I play the piano, but I tell them I don't and crunch out a few really lame attempts at music.  I warm up a bit and play something more musical.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The guy wants to go and drive to a pub.  He's taking me and this girl who must be his GF.  We go to the truck and I wake up.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Codes:&lt;br /&gt;TTB:  Time-To-Bed:  The time the author went to bed.&lt;br /&gt;TA:   Time-Awake:  The time the author woke up.&lt;br /&gt;T2S:  Time-To-Sleep:  Estimated time it took to fall asleep.&lt;br /&gt;TTS:  Total-Time-Slept: Estimated time of sleep.&lt;br /&gt;ETID: Estimated-Time-In-Dream: Estimated sense of time as it passed in the dream.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;-- END MD5 ENCRYPTION --&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;MD5 Checksum: c57b4f0477cf612dbe85ff8512e0c151&lt;br /&gt;Encrypted online at: http://md5-hash-online.waraxe.us/&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Download Plain-text Version: https://docs.google.com/leaf?id=0B9w6moQJPZJuMTg5M2MzODEtMmVmMy00NTZmLWIyYTUtMWQyNDY4N2FhMmRi&amp;amp;sort=name&amp;amp;layout=list&amp;amp;num=50&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/1818683220437348242-4069110833139413101?l=you-are-dreaming.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://you-are-dreaming.blogspot.com/feeds/4069110833139413101/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://you-are-dreaming.blogspot.com/2010/08/august-29th-2010-non-lucids.html#comment-form' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/1818683220437348242/posts/default/4069110833139413101'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/1818683220437348242/posts/default/4069110833139413101'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://you-are-dreaming.blogspot.com/2010/08/august-29th-2010-non-lucids.html' title='August 29th, 2010 - Non-lucids.'/><author><name>Ian Wilson</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/09312115730377763162</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1818683220437348242.post-7637462126304586527</id><published>2010-08-28T11:03:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2010-08-28T11:04:07.950-07:00</updated><title type='text'>August 28th, 2010 - Non-Lucid but lasted what seemed like 2 weeks.</title><content type='html'>&lt;-- START MD5 ENCRYPTION --&gt;&lt;br /&gt;All HTML Tags must be stripped from this text.

I have a project deadline so I am working in favor of sleeping that said, even with a great reducting of sleep (3-4 hours) today's dream set out to make sure I had lots of dreamtime.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Dream 1:  This is yet another classic example of time being stretched in a dream.  The dream lasted what felt like weeks, I was uninterrupted from the sleep and woke up with so much memory it was hard to sort out just how long I was in this dream.  I was going to University, living a totally different life then the one I live now.  By the start of the dream, I had a 30 day rent free eviction notice and by the time I woke up I had 15 days left so the dream suggests 2 weeks and a day of time.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I simply do not have the time to write this all down, I am being pressured to get a really urgent project finished this weeked, but will give a summary of experience.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I would go to school, sit in classes, walk around the University.  I drove there and liked to park on the 6th floor because it had nice elevator access and usually didn't have cars parked there when I got there.  I was spending lot's of time at my girlfriends house.  However, I would be at my house throught the dream.  I was deffinately waking up and sleeping in the dream.  Even my memories of myself (which clearly are not linked to my real waking life) suggested a whole alternate life I had lived suggesting this was like a probable life.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Lot's of partying and drinking with the girlfriend and her roomates.  By week two I was concidering moving into a spare room at their house but the non-stop partying concerned me because it was affecting my schoolwork.  There was also a river that ran near the University and had a nice concrete bridge to walk over.  I remembered being concerned about being robbed there at night.  Not sure what the name of the University was, I knew in the dream.  What is also interesting to note, while in the dream all the memories and experiences seem to just sit there active, when waking up it's like they detach and remain in that dreamed of focus state.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I was friends with one of my professors, and my courses where all subjects that seemed to suggest I was into socialology, psychology, English.  None of which really seemed to match events in waking life but seemed as real and meaningful to me there as it would to me as awake.  The other interesting thing was zero interst in dreaming.  I didn't care about them at all.  No meantion of them to friends, no memory of even liking them.  Who ever I was in this dream had a very boring, mundane existence and liked Sports!  Lot's of time at sports pubs watching Rugby, Soccer and just loving them at a level that I simply do not in real life.  I enjoy a little bit of sports, but in this dream I was a fanatic about them.  I remember someone in a wheel-chair who I was also friends with.  He was on the elevator with me at one point.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I was really into my Girlfriend, she was a big distraction because every chance I could get, I would be with her.  She liked to party and have me hang out with her at her place as much as possible.  She had long light-brown hair, was very skinny and small breasted.  Her namy could have been Susan, I think I called her 'Suzy' but this is very vague now the sharp focused and coherent memories while in the dream are now totally cut off. I know she was totally down with having me live there but I was also worried about what my mother would think if she found out.  I was obviously away from home living in some town far away from family.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Now that I am awake and in my real life.  There are all sorts of memory shifts that I think are really critical to make note of more so then the dream content.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;1.)  In the dream, I had full knowledge of streets, buildings, people's names.  I would see and recognize a person, know their name and have memory of our history together.  Exactly like I would in waking life, however... all those connective memories that suggest an entire life and past are totally cut off when my waking life memories that exist much in the same way are now relevant to this life.  It is like the focus state in the dream allowed for a totally different memory bank by which to draw relevant experience from (for that dream character only).  The whole time in that long dream I had not remembered a single detail from my waking life, in fact... I have no way to affirm if that was even me in my waking life and not a totally different person.  I can argue that based on personality, interests and likes... the person has nothing to do with how I am in waking life.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I was also a lot younger too, in the dream I must have been 19-20 years of age.  All the partying, eating out, messy apartment and attitude are very clear on it.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;2.) When I wake up, all that sense of time quickly compresses as the connective focus to that dream collapses and memory that existed in relevant areas of my mind are flushed out by the relative waking life memories.  It is hard to explain but imagine replacing all your history and expeirences with another life during the dream, totally detached from this life, and when waking up you watch a whole tunnel of experience and memory just disintegrate into irrelevancy.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;3.) The more time in waking life, the less sense-of-time remains of that dream.  It becomes now faded, translucent and names, details that are left-brain centric are replaced with just images and feelings.  Needless to say, while in the dream I was locked in there for what seemed like weeks and when waking up I actually felt a little exhausted and disorientated when the personality of that dream was flushed.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;TTB: 4:30am TA: 6:50am TTS: ~20m TTS: ~2h ETID: 2 weeks suggested by dream.  ~12h or more when waking up sorting out time with what is left of memory.&lt;br /&gt;The ETID is really hard to estimate on this dream, the nature of it had so much memory, time and expeirences that it really felt like weeks however the actual end of the dream when waking up had the strongest sense of time.  With collapse of dream into waking it's like an elastic band that has been stretched suddenly snapping back into a shorter period like at least 12h or more more of actual memory that pulls from the dream.  Then I can get into a new pocked of memory, and hours seem to be there.  Very strange the way memory affects sense-of-time after waking up from these very long dreams.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Codes:&lt;br /&gt;TTB:  Time-To-Bed:  The time the author went to bed.&lt;br /&gt;TA:   Time-Awake:  The time the author woke up.&lt;br /&gt;T2S:  Time-To-Sleep:  Estimated time it took to fall asleep.&lt;br /&gt;TTS:  Total-Time-Slept: Estimated time of sleep.&lt;br /&gt;ETID: Estimated-Time-In-Dream: Estimated sense of time as it passed in the dream.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;-- END MD5 ENCRYPTION --&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;MD5 Checksum: 607d9faa6db53707d8b9722579726aee&lt;br /&gt;Encrypted online at: http://md5-hash-online.waraxe.us/&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Download Plain-text Version: https://docs.google.com/leaf?id=0B9w6moQJPZJuNmI0NzFkNTItNGExZi00ZTNjLWE5MmQtMzNiMzFlYWU1ZjYx&amp;amp;sort=name&amp;amp;layout=list&amp;amp;num=50&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/1818683220437348242-7637462126304586527?l=you-are-dreaming.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://you-are-dreaming.blogspot.com/feeds/7637462126304586527/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://you-are-dreaming.blogspot.com/2010/08/august-28th-2010-non-lucid-but-lasted.html#comment-form' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/1818683220437348242/posts/default/7637462126304586527'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/1818683220437348242/posts/default/7637462126304586527'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://you-are-dreaming.blogspot.com/2010/08/august-28th-2010-non-lucid-but-lasted.html' title='August 28th, 2010 - Non-Lucid but lasted what seemed like 2 weeks.'/><author><name>Ian Wilson</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/09312115730377763162</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1818683220437348242.post-1512749183413999012</id><published>2010-08-26T12:20:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2010-08-26T12:24:47.223-07:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='dreams'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='lucid'/><title type='text'>August 26th, 2010 - Many lucids.</title><content type='html'>&lt;iframe src="http://www.facebook.com/plugins/like.php?href=http%3A%2F%2Fyou-are-dreaming.blogspot.com%2F2010%2F08%2Faugust-26th-2010-many-lucids.html&amp;amp;layout=standard&amp;amp;show_faces=true&amp;amp;width=450&amp;amp;action=like&amp;amp;colorscheme=light&amp;amp;height=80" scrolling="no" frameborder="0" style="border:none; overflow:hidden; width:450px; height:80px;" allowtransparency="true"&gt;&lt;/iframe&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;-- START MD5 ENCRYPTION --&gt;&lt;br /&gt;All HTML Tags must be stripped from this text.

Very hazy energy, strong contrast in colors.  I remember thinking that it was Cochitlehua's dream not my own.  He wasn't in the dream, but the energetic patterns and symbols including the wolf seemed to remind me of him.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Dream 2:  This was another dream with skepticism and arguing over "confirmation bias" in favor over precognitive events in dreams.  My side of the argument was:  "Just because an argument exists does not make that argument fact.  Arguments are not evidence and exist as a convenience only to dismiss genuine events in favor of a long established bias against claims of the what is considered 'paranormal'.  Dreams and lucid dreams have long been in debate due to skepticism and we know today through sleep laboratory research that dreaming and lucid dreaming exists.  Even though these are subjective experiences, the general rule applies in favor of dreaming not against it.  Unlike religion, dreams are and active experience, not a belief-system.  One does not belief in dreaming, one dreams and has an experience of dreaming.  Precognitive dreaming is an experience, not a belief that comes with dreaming.  Like Lucid Dreaming, not everyone experiences it but it is part of dreaming.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The next argument was anecdotal evidence and I argued that all dreaming is anecdotal, there is no way to confirm that anything dreamed of is real.  Everyone could be lying that the dream period but this is how using subjective arguments to win a debate becomes fallacious as the argument favors bias opinion over fact in place of actual experience.  I tell the skeptic that far more evidence in the historic record favors dreams as having prophetic or future-telling reality then there is evidence that absolutely no dreams have ever come true.  The personal anecdotal claims even today are in large numbers of the population and shouldn't be ignored and ruled out using fallacious arguments only.  We are not arguing a belief-system rather something that is experienced through the act of dreaming.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The argument that absolutely no evidence of psychic phenomena exist, yet I again cite that there have been several cases of police using psychics to help solve crime, the US military has had success with remote viewing.  The argument count the hits and ignore the misses is brought up and I argue that it also is fallacious as it ignores the hits and only accepts the misses.  Again we have personal bias in arguments that are used in attempt to dismiss fact for fiction and that is not good critical thinking.  That is simply dismissing evidence in favor of belief.  There is more evidence of psychic phenomena then there is evidence that psychic phenomena absolutely does not exist.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I say how convenient that we have all these bias arguments to strip away personal experience and the fact people have them, to support a belief-system that is completely bias in favor of opinion over the experience of another.  How can anyone say with certainty that what another person experiences is not what they claim?  Then we may as well say everything we dream, or think or feel is non-existent and a lie because all arguments skeptics have dismiss with great convenience what another person can subjectively know through experience, yet that is a fundamental learning process that has long been established and even our natural survival is dependent on learning through personal experience.  These arguments are greatly flawed and only favors the skeptic's belief and not experience itself.&lt;br /&gt;TTB: 1:40am TA: 4:10am&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Dream 2: In this dream, I am in Penticton visiting Todd.  He's a bit disappointed in our facebook chat and is not sure what to make of it.&lt;br /&gt;"You've been my friend for a very long time.  Don't let our differences of opinion put a wedge in our friendship. I still want to hang out and drink beer.", I tell him.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"I drove down to Penticton so we could hangout.  It always seems that if I want to see my friends, I have to drive to accommodate them.  I wanted to thank you for coming out my way."&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I notice that there is a computer but the screen is way to small, it causes the much needed reality-check to induce lucidity.  At this point we are heading out to get a beer.  Todd is walking and I float on my back with my hands behind me head as I talk with him, "Walking is for chumps."&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;He looks at me strangely as I am clearly defying physics and floating on my back.  We are heading to an elevator and it causes the dream to shift rapidly.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I loose track of Todd and I am now on a road in front of a antique shop.  It is quite a beautiful day, the sky is vivid with clouds, the street bustling with people.  I look at the shop which has a very antique look to the outside veneer.  I affirm that I am dreaming.  I attempt to change the dream but it resist.  It feels like I am being entranced by the sense of reality in the dream.  I affirm again that I am dreaming.  "This is a dream, it's just a dream.", I think.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The entire scene is very rigid, and the entrancement is hard to break free from.  I struggle with trying to change it to affirm a point but nothing responds as it should.  My struggle doesn't last much longer and I wake up.&lt;br /&gt;TTB: 5:22am TA: 6:40am&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I work for a bit and go back for a nap:&lt;br /&gt;Dream 3: This is an interesting dream in the context of dreaming.  I fall into the dream semi-lucid and am stuck again trying to figure out how I got into a new reality focus.  "It's a dream, of this I am certain.", I think to myself.  "Which then begs the question, what is a dream?"&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I try to stop engaging the entrancement caused by the ebb and flow of the dream reality.  I sit and close my eyes to limit virtual sensory input.  "I am here, in a focus state self-realized and aware.  This "here" is in my mind, it's a dream but it's real to me." I think.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I think about all experience of reality both subjective and objective, all of it must be rendered by the mind.  This "now" moment in a dream is similar to any "now" moment when I am self-realized.  In turn, every moment stacks up into a canvas of experience both physical and non-physical.  "I am reality, I am the dreamer.  This is my canvas.  My mind.", I ponder.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The dream shifts focus and I am again with Todd.  This time via Facebook and in a discussion.  He is expressing his skepticism and I am reading his arguments.  I find it odd, that I am even reading a Facebook page and engaging a friend via this interface in a dream.  I look at the computer screen, all the Facebook icons are present, the website is rendered perfectly and the text is clear and coherent on the page.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I read what I have written and see the whole argument between Todd and I as materialism verses idealism, Plato verses Descartes.  I think, "My reality is thought, it is self-awareness.  It is subjective and entangled into non-linear and non-locality.  It is this way for everyone, they too must render reality at run-time, experience themselves within dream and waking focus states.  The arguments are all favoring only one aspect of reality and not the long standing journey offered by both."&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I think about the enigma, how I am in a dream right now in a potentially non-linear and non-localized state.  Clearly non-locality is present, even if this local has nothing to do with waking reality.  It is a place where I am self-realized and aware of self.  That in turn is a moment of realization, therefor reality.  This state is real.  The argument to say it is not is in error.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;There is so much I want to write, but because I realize it's a dream I realize that the importance is irrelevant.  Todd has the same potential to drive the same car of experience as anyone who wishes to see both sides of the coin.  The journey into self-realization is active not passive.  I am here because I want to be here, with full waking mind.  It is my intent driving action making real my awareness of dreams.  It has always been that way.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I scroll up and see his arguments about precognition and laugh at all the ad hominem structured argument thinking.  Arguments and opinions never measure to facts.  One cannot substitute an argument in favor of another's experience, that itself is character prejudice and a form of liable.  Who but I can say I am here?  No one.  But I cannot lie to myself and believe I am not here in a dream, because another thinks it to be irrelevant.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I think long and hard about the arguments, the pointlessness of denial, doubt and belief-system orientated thinking.  I can tell you grand stories about the ocean, but if you are afraid to swim, you will never experience it like me.  Fear, doubt and belief cloud our dreams.  They respond to our emotions and intent.  Dreams only reveal yourself only what you believe yourself to be, the world to be. It is a thought-based system that you control consciously or unconsciously. It is an egg that must crack, the yolk must spill out and you along with it.  The flow, the tempo is what brings greater knowings.  I laugh with a warm feeling of love and respect for my friend Todd, our history is so deep and long that he simply has forgotten and has become entranced by belief an notions of a physical universe again.  If he could only remember the stage, when it is stripped from us and we remain.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I remember death in many cycles, the collapse of waking reality.  The rebirth into the same very realm where I dream right now.  Everything interconnected, everything in various focus states within a much larger, grander reality, one that has many Universes not the one.  M-theory is a better substitute to take science into a multi-verse of which true reality is.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I push back away from the computer and dissolve the dream into the void.  I shut down all the chatter but new dreams come to compel me and entrance my focus into new directions.  I am flying now, over mountains and hills, it's a form of free fall and I spiral downward and land in a busy parking lot area.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I am still dreaming I assure myself, the stage now has changed and the actors have come.  I look at the people and recognize a few of them from my waking life.  I see a family that I know and have not seen for a while.  This makes me happy.  I feel lots of love and compassion as I observe the area.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I see Anderson Cooper from CNN and I decide to walk over to him.  Bill Maher is also present and in a fully lucid state, I simply am compelled to examine the dream characters.  I walk over and introduce myself, "Good-day gentlemen.  Another fine dream I find myself in."&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The both look at me taken a bit back by my comment.  "Are you on our panel?", Anderson asks me.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"Yes, I believe I am.", I reply.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"Great, we are on in fifteen minutes.", he directs me to some trailer where there are people doing make-up and I walk in and sit down.  I am in a suit and they are working on putting makeup on, fixing hair and I get a quick make over.  I know I am dreaming but go with the flow, the entrancement which comes when one focus state favors another is evident, but I am already satisfied with tonights dream.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I am no one some panel on CNN and we are talking about my favorite topic... precognitive dreams and deja vu.  It doesn't seem that Anderson Cooper or Bill Maher are present though.  In fact, the panel switch happened so fast that I lost my lucid focus state and became entranced again by the dream.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Regardless, I still manage to talk about precognitive dream experiences and causality.  The interview ends and I am now walking back to the parking lot.  I'm a bit dazed and confused due to the shift in left-brain function, the acute waking knowing is clearly gone but I am definitely struggling to get it back.  I come back into focus and realize I am still dreaming.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;They want me back a second time, I am talking it producers and stage-hands.  I smile and agree.  I look at the asphalt and the rock and cracks in the rock remind me of fractal hypnogogic patterns, they start to shift slightly and I see the hypnogogia, the geometry and mesh of the dream.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I walk over and talk with the family friend, she tells me that she heard I was on CNN.  I told her that I had an interview and all went well.  I tell her they want me back again so perhaps she can see the next broadcast.  I tell her I'm just happy that I got to see her and her family, that it has been a long time.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;It don't get to chat too much longer, as I am woken up.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;TTB: 9:27am TA: 11:00am&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Codes:&lt;br /&gt;TTB:  Time-To-Bed:  The time the author went to bed.&lt;br /&gt;TA:   Time-Awake:  The time the author woke up.&lt;br /&gt;T2S:  Time-To-Sleep:  Estimated time it took to fall asleep.&lt;br /&gt;TTS:  Total-Time-Slept: Estimated time of sleep.&lt;br /&gt;ETID: Estimated-Time-In-Dream: Estimated sense of time as it passed in the dream.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;-- END MD5 ENCRYPTION --&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;MD5 Checksum: 416a0048f19db055312255a1cbaeaa10&lt;br /&gt;Encrypted online at: http://md5-hash-online.waraxe.us/&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Download Plain-text Version: https://docs.google.com/leaf?id=0B9w6moQJPZJuMjQwZjg5YjEtMTUwMS00ZTk5LTg3YjAtMzljYzI3NWViNTQ3&amp;amp;sort=name&amp;amp;layout=list&amp;amp;num=50&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/1818683220437348242-1512749183413999012?l=you-are-dreaming.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://you-are-dreaming.blogspot.com/feeds/1512749183413999012/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://you-are-dreaming.blogspot.com/2010/08/august-26th-2010-many-lucids.html#comment-form' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/1818683220437348242/posts/default/1512749183413999012'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/1818683220437348242/posts/default/1512749183413999012'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://you-are-dreaming.blogspot.com/2010/08/august-26th-2010-many-lucids.html' title='August 26th, 2010 - Many lucids.'/><author><name>Ian Wilson</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/09312115730377763162</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1818683220437348242.post-4678318334210147536</id><published>2010-08-25T10:53:00.001-07:00</published><updated>2010-08-25T10:54:58.226-07:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='dream research'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='precognitive'/><title type='text'>August 25th, 2010 - Non-lucid dreams.</title><content type='html'>&lt;iframe src="http://www.facebook.com/plugins/like.php?href=http%3A%2F%2Fyou-are-dreaming.blogspot.com%2F2010%2F08%2Faugust-25th-2010-non-lucid-dreams.html&amp;amp;layout=standard&amp;amp;show_faces=true&amp;amp;width=450&amp;amp;action=like&amp;amp;colorscheme=light&amp;amp;height=80" scrolling="no" frameborder="0" style="border:none; overflow:hidden; width:450px; height:80px;" allowtransparency="true"&gt;&lt;/iframe&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;-- START MD5 ENCRYPTION --&gt;&lt;br /&gt;All HTML Tags must be stripped from this text.

When for those who have precognition, the window of reality that it presents collides with waking world events.  Theoretical physics such as M-Theory and string-theory suggest a reality of many Universes.  Hughe Everett's Many-World interpretation suggests the Universe sits within many states of probability and superposition in every possible permutation.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Dreams suggest individual experience exists within many micro-universes of the mind.  An M-field of ideas and thought forming membranes and layers of dream data.  What makes the dream real to the dreamer?  The experience alone.  No other person can touch the fabric that the mind generates in the form of dreams.  Where the idea of thought enfolds upon the dreamer is in an endless continuum of micro-reality experiences when the dreamer sheds of one reality focus in favor of another.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;It is in this fabric of dream experience that we see time and space expressed in a virtual model that mimics our sensory minds creation of waking reality.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I get about that far when I realize that I am not in waking reality at all.  I sit looking at my very real computer screen and read the text I just wrote.  I feel like I am really there for but a brief moment until I give up that reality to wake-up into this one.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Regular sleep... another rough night.&lt;br /&gt;Looks like another night of endless interuptions to sleep.  Two kids tag-teaming while one sleeps the other stirs, it's been frigtening to say the least.  If it keeps up, I'll have slept all of half an hour.  How I manage to still remember dreams is beyond me... it definately kills lucid dreaming, the time it takes to prepare and coax the body into sleep while the mind is awake can be a 20-30 minute process for me.  One slight interuption and I must start at ground zero.  This is why my lucid dreaming exploration is nearly destroyed with this lifestyle dilema.  I can't get the quality sleep needed to cultivate consciousness.  I feel like I am in prison in solitary confinement being woken up every hour by the warden.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Great 1:50am, the teenager is up now raiding the kitchen turning on lights.  Is it like this in every household, or am I just cursed?&lt;br /&gt;2:20am, the girl is up stoping around, can't really do much.&lt;br /&gt;2:40am, the ongoing drama is unended... no wonder I am tired most part of the day.&lt;br /&gt;Haven't slept a wink.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Dream 2: Finally got some sleep, but obviously so tired that it was hard to remember these dreams.&lt;br /&gt;What I do remember:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Talking with an older gentleman, white hair about dreams.  He looks like Art but it's hard to say because the quality of the dream recall is so degraded.  We are however talking about different types of stages of sleep and how it affects dreaming.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Dream 3: At former work JK is talking with G.  G wants money is upset about not getting paycheck.  Doesn't seem like a happy meeting at all.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Dream 4: Having a skeptical debate about the nature of reality with someone.  We are talking about objective and subjective reality and how subjective reality is the only true reality that the observer creates, every other reality is merely a stage for the observer to expeirence a rigid context of ideas.  We argue that that in their opinion the only reality is material reality.  I argue that material reality is a stage, a prop for consciousness to experience.  It will be stripped away leaving consciousness to experience self which is the true reality.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;He argues that self is even real, that it's a product of materialism and I argue that it was the self that first concieved the ideas that would lead to materialism, that all reality flows from the self, into dreams and then objectivity.  All there is, is the self, that is what makes reality real.  It's a long winded debate over origins of reality, the causality delima of what came first the self or reality, or reality then the self.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Codes:&lt;br /&gt;TTB:  Time-To-Bed:  The time the author went to bed.&lt;br /&gt;TA:   Time-Awake:  The time the author woke up.&lt;br /&gt;T2S:  Time-To-Sleep:  Estimated time it took to fall asleep.&lt;br /&gt;TTS:  Total-Time-Slept: Estimated time of sleep.&lt;br /&gt;ETID: Estimated-Time-In-Dream: Estimated sense of time as it passed in the dream.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;-- END MD5 ENCRYPTION --&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;MD5 Checksum: ba62322e402e8d99fe860a1b8362686a&lt;br /&gt;Encrypted online at: http://md5-hash-online.waraxe.us/&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Download Plain-text Version: https://docs.google.com/leaf?id=0B9w6moQJPZJuMTYzMDA4ZWYtMTNhOS00NmQyLWIyMWUtZjg0OGExZjkzMTkx&amp;amp;sort=name&amp;amp;layout=list&amp;amp;num=50&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/1818683220437348242-4678318334210147536?l=you-are-dreaming.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://you-are-dreaming.blogspot.com/feeds/4678318334210147536/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://you-are-dreaming.blogspot.com/2010/08/august-25th-2010-non-lucid-dreams.html#comment-form' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/1818683220437348242/posts/default/4678318334210147536'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/1818683220437348242/posts/default/4678318334210147536'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://you-are-dreaming.blogspot.com/2010/08/august-25th-2010-non-lucid-dreams.html' title='August 25th, 2010 - Non-lucid dreams.'/><author><name>Ian Wilson</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/09312115730377763162</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1818683220437348242.post-8387267335368788432</id><published>2010-08-24T08:20:00.001-07:00</published><updated>2010-08-24T08:21:09.417-07:00</updated><title type='text'>August 24th, 2010 - Non-Lucid</title><content type='html'>&lt;iframe src="http://www.facebook.com/plugins/like.php?href=http%3A%2F%2Fyou-are-dreaming.blogspot.com%2F2010%2F08%2Fall-html-tags-must-be-stripped-from.html&amp;amp;layout=standard&amp;amp;show_faces=true&amp;amp;width=450&amp;amp;action=like&amp;amp;colorscheme=light&amp;amp;height=80" scrolling="no" frameborder="0" style="border:none; overflow:hidden; width:450px; height:80px;" allowtransparency="true"&gt;&lt;/iframe&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;-- START MD5 ENCRYPTION --&gt;&lt;br /&gt;All HTML Tags must be stripped from this text.

We are talking more specifically about affecting causality through dreaming, this is of great interest to this person.  I explain that precognitive dreams are pre-calucalted probability packets that are still maluable by focused intent.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"The data in the form of the dream is a form of pre-calculation of probability which can be interacted with and influenced with intent.", I tell him.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"How does influencing the dream with intent change reality?", he asks.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"This might be one of the biggest misconceptions, it's not reality you are changing, it's simply a dream that is precognitive in nature.  You change the dream and it follows the same natural order that dreams follow towards actualization.  It is if and when this dream actualizes that the changes become apparent and you see causality being affected from the dreamstate.", I explain.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;He's very facinated and is taking notes.  It becomes grey a bit here but I know we talk a bit more and shake hands and he leaves.  I did have a name also, hard to remember but first name could have been Brian, the last name started with an F, I want to say Freeman or Fermen... can be so hard remembering such technicial details from non-lucids.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Dream 2: Elew is in this dream, at least I know that I am using that name with someone.  We are on a flat grassland, it's dark out and we are talking about dreams.  This dream is also fuzzy, a casualty of being woken up suddenly by the baby.&lt;br /&gt;TTS:12:00am TA:2:50am&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I work for a good few hours but need to sleep again.&lt;br /&gt;Dream 3: I'm with my friend Todd drinking beers, always good times.  We have a RV camper and cooler stacked with ice and muchly needed frosty beverages.  There are a few budweiser tall cans, a variety of microbrewery treats and grab a tall can to get started.  It's nice hanging out with him, we are just enjoying what we enjoy best beer and relaxation.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The dream fluxuates slightly, I am being interrupted again in my sleep.  It doesn't quite wake me up but the dream shifts so that now I have my daughter in the dream (in waking life she woke up and went down stairs to the couch to sit).  She's now in my dream and having a siezure.  I pick her up and unfold a bed in the camper and put her there.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Now the camper has a small doorway, too small to fit to go up to a next level.  This is very common dream architecture at work here, an abstract small portal that opens into a wide alternative space.  I find it very metaphorical of switching dream focus states and levels.  I go through the small portal questioning how I could ever fit through something so tiny.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;It's like being in an atic, and I find myself in a room of a house.  At least I still have a beer so not all is bad.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Again the baby now wakes me up.  She digs a nice foot into my side and scratches me with her toe nail and screams crying.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I nod back off to sleep&lt;br /&gt;Dream 4: JG is in this dream, he is talking to me about game design and flash animation.  I tell him I am now into socially integrated and leading edge technologies.  He wants help on a project but my time commitments are all taken up.&lt;br /&gt;Woken up again by the baby so get up, jot down the dreams and get ready for work.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;TTS: 5:40am TA: 7:56am&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Codes:&lt;br /&gt;TTB:  Time-To-Bed:  The time the author went to bed.&lt;br /&gt;TA:   Time-Awake:  The time the author woke up.&lt;br /&gt;T2S:  Time-To-Sleep:  Estimated time it took to fall asleep.&lt;br /&gt;TTS:  Total-Time-Slept: Estimated time of sleep.&lt;br /&gt;ETID: Estimated-Time-In-Dream: Estimated sense of time as it passed in the dream.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;-- END MD5 ENCRYPTION --&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;MD5 Checksum: 2028a687ed2b6e85b37750e3f33ec58c&lt;br /&gt;Encrypted online at: http://md5-hash-online.waraxe.us/&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Download Plain-text Version: https://docs.google.com/leaf?id=0B9w6moQJPZJuMmY2OTMzNzctNDA0Yi00ZDljLTllMGQtYmYwNWFhYmIxN2Vk&amp;amp;sort=name&amp;amp;layout=list&amp;amp;num=50&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/1818683220437348242-8387267335368788432?l=you-are-dreaming.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://you-are-dreaming.blogspot.com/feeds/8387267335368788432/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://you-are-dreaming.blogspot.com/2010/08/all-html-tags-must-be-stripped-from.html#comment-form' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/1818683220437348242/posts/default/8387267335368788432'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/1818683220437348242/posts/default/8387267335368788432'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://you-are-dreaming.blogspot.com/2010/08/all-html-tags-must-be-stripped-from.html' title='August 24th, 2010 - Non-Lucid'/><author><name>Ian Wilson</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/09312115730377763162</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1818683220437348242.post-5491640987624122068</id><published>2010-08-23T10:22:00.001-07:00</published><updated>2010-08-23T10:24:21.911-07:00</updated><title type='text'>August 23rd, 2010 - Normal Dreams.</title><content type='html'>&lt;iframe src="http://www.facebook.com/plugins/like.php?href=http%3A%2F%2Fyou-are-dreaming.blogspot.com%2F2010%2F08%2Faugust-23rd-2010-normal-dreams.html&amp;amp;layout=standard&amp;amp;show_faces=true&amp;amp;width=450&amp;amp;action=like&amp;amp;colorscheme=light&amp;amp;height=80" scrolling="no" frameborder="0" style="border:none; overflow:hidden; width:450px; height:80px;" allowtransparency="true"&gt;&lt;/iframe&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;-- START MD5 ENCRYPTION --&gt;&lt;br /&gt;All HTML Tags must be stripped from this text.

Recognize two people from big brother.&lt;br /&gt;Some challenge.  There is whipping cream, or foam.&lt;br /&gt;Something to do with a tanning bed.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Dream seems to exagerate tanning bed now in with the challenge.&lt;br /&gt;The bed part roles over and contestents are now in a secret room.&lt;br /&gt;Two at a time.  Have to sit in the room till their challenge is complete.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Dream 7: I am on TV with a panel of guests talking about prophecy, dreams and remote viewing.  It seems bias against such things, the guests themselves are new-age southern slow-speaking argumentive in defense of beleif.  For example, there was a person who was representng his belief in remote viewing.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The interviewer, "So tell me about remote viewing, why do you think this is real?"&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"Well, the US military researched and used it.  They were able to see future events like a solar flare that will wipe out all life on Earth in 2005.", he says.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The interviewer, "Wait, you just said that was 2005, and it's now 2010(?) doesn't mean that it's a failed prediction?"&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"No, that don't mean nothing.  There are other variables that could make the date further in the future.  It's gonna happen, just because you don't believe it don't mean it won't happen.  I know it will."&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I was shaking my head inside the whole time, then it was my turn.  I am introduced and sit with the interviewer.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"We have our next guest, Ian Wilson who claims that he can dream the future.", he announces and I sit down.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"Thanks for having me on the show.", I tell him.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"So you tell me you can see the future in dreams?  How does this work?", he asks.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"It works much like the mechanics of Deja Vu in the sense that in waking life, you can have a deja vu feeling of familiarity and link the memory back to a dream.", I tell him.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"Oh, so it's like deja vu but you can remember it comes from a dream.  Everyone had deja vu, that doesn't mean it comes from dreaming.", he says.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"Certainly not, not all deja experiences are linked back to something a person has dreamed.  Dream recall and memory play a crucial role how the person is able to link back the memory.  Not everyone remembers dreaming", I tell him.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"What makes you certain that the dream is future-telling.", he asks me.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"When certain dreams do come true, they are an exact literal pattern match for the future event they represented.  The details can be vary accute.", I tell him.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"Well how do you make your predictions from them?  Do you see disasters and wars in the future?", he asks.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"It's not like classical fortune telling.  I would never take any dream and say with any certainty that it precognitive.  The hard sell is predicting terrible disasters and things that make people panic with fear.  My dreams are first-person events that effect my daily life.", I tell him.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"So you don't see big disasters like the kill shot which remote viewers see.", he asks.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"No, the future exists as probability only.  Dreams are glimpeses into these probabilities and most likley caused by entanglement where by certain non-linear and non-local events randomly pop-up from what we could call Everett's Many-Worlds interpretation of Quantum Mechanics where there are many permutations of probable future and our dreams through entanglement enter into these micro-pockets of information where relative to your person."&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;He kind of looks at me funny and asks, "Well if it's probable then how do you know if it's the future?"&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"You can only ever tell if a dream has come true after it actualizes.  This is when the probability collapses into actual reality and you have the memory connection linking the dream.  There is no way I live my life thinking everything I dream is going to come true.  You just can't, it doesn't work that way.", I tell him.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"Have you seen any horrible probable futures?", he asks.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"Certainly, I have seen North Korea nuke a US military base on the seaboard of Seoul back in 1998.  I have seen nuclear war errupt between the US and China.  The planet goes through horrible nuclear holocaust in these probabilities.  Others have included major economic collapse, food shortages, floods and earthquakes.  And not a single one do I give any credit to actually describing the future they might represent.  Our future is never pre-determined without many permutations of what could be.  That is why it's probable reality.  I won't sell doom and gloom fear just because I had a bad dream about what could be the future.", I tell him.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"Well those are all possible things, some of those are very close to happening.", he tells me.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"Right, just because it's probable in the context of a dream, doesn't make it actual in reality.  We are all traversing through a unified field within what we call the "now" moment.  It is here that all of us en mass and through synchronicity are collapsing the actual reality we share from probability.  It's a group effort and certain choices and last minute decisions can turn the tide of our future forever.", I tell him.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I don't get much more from this dream, but it was very coherent so I tried to get the most out of it with my limited time today.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Dream 8: On TC's forum there is a thread with an artist who has amazing paintings, kind of salvador dali like with dreamesque scenes.  Dark back grounds, flying floating wood sculpted shape with people on it, see hands and long head gear on the people.  Everything flows nicely in the composite.&lt;br /&gt;I like the art alot.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Codes:&lt;br /&gt;TTB:  Time-To-Bed:  The time the author went to bed.&lt;br /&gt;TA:   Time-Awake:  The time the author woke up.&lt;br /&gt;T2S:  Time-To-Sleep:  Estimated time it took to fall asleep.&lt;br /&gt;TTS:  Total-Time-Slept: Estimated time of sleep.&lt;br /&gt;ETID: Estimated-Time-In-Dream: Estimated sense of time as it passed in the dream.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;-- END MD5 ENCRYPTION --&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;MD5 Checksum: bd5314d6729a61d2f0c5fd766ea4ad46&lt;br /&gt;Encrypted online at: http://md5-hash-online.waraxe.us/&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Download Plain-text Version: https://docs.google.com/leaf?id=0B9w6moQJPZJuMGNhMjA3MWMtZjEyZS00YjI1LThhY2EtOTQzNzE5YTkyMzlh&amp;amp;sort=name&amp;amp;layout=list&amp;amp;num=50&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/1818683220437348242-5491640987624122068?l=you-are-dreaming.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://you-are-dreaming.blogspot.com/feeds/5491640987624122068/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://you-are-dreaming.blogspot.com/2010/08/august-23rd-2010-normal-dreams.html#comment-form' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/1818683220437348242/posts/default/5491640987624122068'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/1818683220437348242/posts/default/5491640987624122068'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://you-are-dreaming.blogspot.com/2010/08/august-23rd-2010-normal-dreams.html' title='August 23rd, 2010 - Normal Dreams.'/><author><name>Ian Wilson</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/09312115730377763162</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1818683220437348242.post-7922886326426799248</id><published>2010-08-22T10:46:00.001-07:00</published><updated>2010-08-22T10:54:15.237-07:00</updated><title type='text'>August 22nd, 2010 - One Lucid Dream.</title><content type='html'>&lt;iframe src="http://www.facebook.com/plugins/like.php?href=http%3A%2F%2Fyou-are-dreaming.blogspot.com%2F2010%2F08%2Faugust-22nd-2010-one-lucid-dream.html&amp;amp;layout=standard&amp;amp;show_faces=true&amp;amp;width=450&amp;amp;action=like&amp;amp;colorscheme=light&amp;amp;height=80" scrolling="no" frameborder="0" style="border:none; overflow:hidden; width:450px; height:80px;" allowtransparency="true"&gt;&lt;/iframe&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;-- START MD5 ENCRYPTION --&gt;&lt;br /&gt;All HTML Tags must be stripped from this text.

In 23 years of dream exploration I have never had a dream where I linked a dream character to a person I have never met with 100% accuracy until I saw youtube video of this person for the first time yesterday.  The dream was linked to my August 20th, 2010 dream and regardless of how impossible and seemingly strange this must seem I have no choice but to report the finding on my blog.  You can read it here: http://you-are-dreaming.blogspot.com/2010/08/shared-dream-with-shoshoni-native-that.html&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;This was a completely unexpected surprise for me as my focus right now has been purely precognitive dream exploration.  Shared dreaming or mutual dreaming has surfaced in dream research from time-to-time.  Dr. Lynda Magelleon wrote a book called, "Mutual Dreaming" which covers this in great length.  Robert Waggoner covers this in, "Lucid Dreaming: The Gateway to the Inner Self" which ironically was the book I carried for most part of that days dream.  Even in the dream itself I make note of mutual dream indicators which I also have observed throughout the years.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;This is a really compelling experience as up until this point in 23 years of dreaming have I not had an experience like this one.  This is why having visual images pulled from the brain becomes so key in helping close the gap between subjective experience and objective reality.  How my mind managed to create a perfect 100% visual model of a person I've never seen in waking reality; to then confirm it the next day via a video is very compelling.  How much of our dreaming is actually mutual?  One does have to beg the question after a dream as compelling as that.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;As always, Skeptics will run the usual round-about arguments failing to see how important this kind of research and study truly is.  However, for those of you that can see past ignorance, finds like this are extremely rare and do require more genuine research.  There is just no way I could have ever known this person from waking life.  It is also precognitive in nature because the confirmation came a day later.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Dream 1:&lt;br /&gt;This is actually a very clever dream that kind of tricked me into thinking that I had already written my August 22, 2010 dream entry.  I woke up in the dream, scratched down key words on a pad of paper from the dream before.  Got up sat at my computer and wrote down the dream.  Submitted it on forums and went back to bed and slept.  This trick actually layered the first dream so it was hard as hell to remember.  That said here it is.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I am at a friends house and we are staying over-night there.  His name is David and my wife is with me.  We are there for some time because I am waking up and falling asleep again in the dream.  The dream journal entry above was part of the ongoing dream.  The dream itself seems to last an entire weekend.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;In the first day, we are all siting drinking at the kitchen and patio table.  His wife is being really nice and I do notice she is staring at me often which does kind of bother me because I feel she is taking an interest.  We are talking about work, software development, mobile device app designs.  My wife and his wife are talking about other general mundane life details such as kids, work and such.  There are more people present in the house as well.  Part of the reason why we are there staying the weekend is because there is a 40th birthday party for David and out back there will be this massive family and friend party.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;In the evening we all the guys are playing video games on an Xbox360 and drinking beers.  Finally we have to retire for the evening and I go to bed with my wife.  Our kids do not seem to be there that I notice in the dream.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The next day, it's early morning and I get up and write my dreams down.  I go back to sleep, and wake up a second time.  It's still early and everyone is sleeping however I notice his wife is up and she's in a t-shirt and panties.  She sees me walking down to the kitchen and follows me.  She starts coming on to me, "I've noticed you been looking at me."&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I look at her and start to panic, she then comes on to me pushing me back into a corner, "I know you want me, I can see it in your eyes.  You can have me, right here, right now...", she says as she rubs her hands up my chest and pushes herself into me.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"No, I don't want you.  I'm married and I would never cheat on my wife.", I tell her.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"Don't lie to yourself, you want me.", she says then she kisses me.  I bend back as far as I can to get away but the corner has a cupboard that doesn't let me get to far away.  I tighten my mouth and she locks on.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;At that point her husband has now walked down and seen this scenario and I have a look of shock in my eyes and tell her that her husband is there.&lt;br /&gt;He is obviously not happy.  She goes to him and tells him that I wanted to have sex with her or I'd rape her.  I really don't know what to say and I rebuttal the claim, "I was just going to make coffee and she literally attacked me in the kitchen.  I love my wife, there is no way I'd cheat on her.  Your wife is lying.  I'd never do that to you."&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;He doesn't know what to say either.  She then tells him that I'm lying, "No he said he'd rape me if I didn't have sex with him!"&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;This infuriates me even more, I just wanted a cup of coffee, not this dramatic mess.  Besides, his wife was actually kind of fat and ugly, where as my wife simply is top-notch beautiful.  "You've seen my wife, why would I have to cheat on her with yours... think about it here.  She is lying, she's the one who attacked me and pushed me in that corner."&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;He tells his wife to go up stairs.  "I don't know who to believe, but I could tell by your face you were not interested in kissing her.  She was definitely the one doing all the kissing."&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"Look, I'm your friend and I am so sorry this happened.  I don't know what to say other then I feel compromised here.  You know I love my wife, and now I have to deal with her fear that somehow I might do something like this.  This really sucks for both of us.", I tell him.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;He tells me that we will sort it out later and wants me to stick around for the birthday party.  Now I have to go and tell my wife, and she is not happy at all.  All her fears come up but I lay it out cruelly about the other woman, "Look, if I wanted to have sex with fat ugly cow I'd work on a dairy farm.  That bitch came on to me and despite me telling her no forced herself on me.  Then he had the audacity to tell her husband that I threatened to rape her.", I explain.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;My wife is furious and we talk about it until she is satisfied that I am telling the truth.  "I mean, look at you and look at her.  Do you really see me throwing this away for that?"&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;She smiles but now she wants to beat up the other person's wife.  "Well, we better go home, I don't want to stay here anymore.", my wife says.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;We both go down and the dream seems to have fast forwarded to the party because outside on the lawn there are large chairs and people everywhere celebrating.  I go to tell him that we are leaving and his wife makes an announcement, "There's the guy who tried to rape me!"&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I want to punch her in the face, but I keep my cool and tell her, "No you're the one telling vicious lies.  I wouldn't touch you with someone else's dick let alone my own."&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;She takes offense and I meet David and tell him that I'm sorry about all of this, that I have to go.  He understands and I wake up.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;TTB: 10:30pm  TA: 2:23am T2S: ~30m TTS: ~2h 23m ETID: ~6h (could be longer the dream spanned at least two days).&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Dream 2:  This was largely an Internet related dream, me posting on forums clearly on the above topic of shared dreaming.  There is a lot of reading here but it's so hard to pull this textual information back into waking life because the way memory collapses on waking, it becomes blurry, ghost like and hard to extract.  Memory really kills quality dream recall.  That and I get woken up by the baby which always causes the memory collapse.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Suffice to say, I am talking with Elew and Cochitlehua in an ongoing talk about share dreaming.  I know I was on the JREF forum, I can recognize the website graphics and the thread that I post my dreams into.  As for meaty context however, just the usual skeptical nay-saying that one would expect, no magic there.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;TTB: 4:40pm  TA: 5:45am T2S: ~10m TTS: ~55m ETID: ~30m.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Dream 3:  I am at my old work talking with my former bosses.  They have all this work they want me to do.  They don't have time to talk so they leave me there to start working on it and leave.  I start looking through the project tasks and flipping through graphics and video.  I want to do the work, but they haven't paid me for work in the past which is the reason why I had to leave.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Hours go by and I'm stuck there waiting for them to return.  I spend my time surfing the Internet and checking out websites.  Researching some objective-c blogs for tips on doing certain things for the iPhone.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"I can't wait to see what we got done", JK says.  "You like all the graphics aren't they sick or what!"&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"They look awesome, Mike did a great job.", I tell him.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"So what do you think, you want the job or not?", JSK asks.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"I'm interested, but there is still that matter of $1600.00 that you haven't made any effort to pay.  That's why I haven't been coming in.", I say.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"Oh that.  Well, we'll see what we can do.", JSK says.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I feel like I am being dragged along and my time is being wasted, "Sorry guys, you can't drag me along like this, I have a family and bills to pay and need to be compensated for the time I work.  You can't do that, I can't work for you.  I have to split."&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I leave and drive to another building; the dream shifts a bit.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Dream 4: I am at an office there is a lady in an office.  I have a folder with all my research into dreams and consciousness.  All my md5checksum articles are cataloged and printed out.  There are hundreds of pages.  I have stacks of photographs linking future events to dreams in the md5checksums.  There are even some sketches and other notes.  There is a page on probability and chance prediction.  I have articles on physics and virtual reality theory.  There is a lot of information here and it sits on their desk.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The lady starts to flip through the entries and she's not sure what to make of it.  She calls in another person who is a man and he asks what this is all about.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"He says he has precognitive dreams.", she tells him.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The man laughs, "What?  What do you mean?"&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I add in, "It's when you have a dream that matches a future event.  It's like the next stages of Deja Vu, except you link the memory or source of the deja back to a dream you had.  From that point onward it becomes quite compelling that dreams do tell the future."&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;He picks up the folder and starts flipping the pages and stops at the cover, "You are dreaming?" he asks, "What is that supposed to mean?"&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"It's quite literal, it means you are dreaming.", I tell him.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;He looks at me confused and asks me who some of the other names are, "Who's Dr. Art Funkhouser?"&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"Art is an established researcher into this phenomena, he's highly respected and works in Switzerland.", I tell him.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"And Dr. Vernon Neppe?", he asks.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"He's extremely fascinating, a long standing researcher into Deja vu phenomena and neuroscience, also quite brilliant at IT technologies.  Works in Seattle."&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;He scratches his head and turns the cover page over and back again.  "I don't know these people, never heard of them before."&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"Well, look them up if you want, they are real people.", I tell him.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"So you dream the future, you have compiled a list of evidence and on top of that you say that we are dreaming?", he asks.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"Well, that is my handle on the Internet.  It does mean what it says in literal context.", I tell him.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"I've had deja vu, I get it often but until you mentioned the link to dreaming, I never thought about that.  I do think I have had some deja vu that links to something I dreamed.", he tells me.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The lady in the office agrees, "I've experienced it too, it's like deja vu but I remember the memory from the dream."&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;He looks at me and becomes energized, "This is exciting work.  You really have something here!"&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;They are both now very excited about the material.  "Thanks, I just want more research done on it is all.  That's why I am here."&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I get woken up.&lt;br /&gt;TTB: 6:20pm  TA: 8:01am T2S: ~10m TTS: ~1h 31m ETID: ~7h (The time in the office just dragged on and on like a whole work day.)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Dream 5:  This dream loops at least 3 times before it continues.  I am at some Broadway style dance and in the background behind the stage.&lt;br /&gt;There is music and people doing really nice choreographed dance.  The choreographer ends the dance when the music stops and I say, "That was fantastic"&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;He says, "Thank-you very much."&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The next time it repeats but the local is slightly different, same dance routine less Broadway.  Same as above.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The third time we are in a bar, I am in front of the bar and have to move out of the way of the routine.  The dance costumes have toned down to more undershirts and spandex.  Same people, same music and same comments.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;This time however the Choreographer turns and shakes my hand and invites me to come with him.  It turns out he's gay and very interested in me in that way.  I'm uncomfortable because he's now holding me hand walking me to a car and we get in.  "You have really gorgeous eyes, you know.  There is something about them, they really feel like you connect deep into me.", he says.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;That comment alone makes me very uncomfortable, but I know this guy and we are friends so I am kind and polite, "Thanks, I'm not used to men commenting on my eyes."&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"You aren't, oh are you not gay?", he asks.  The car shifts and we are I suspect at his place.  He is still in his dance outfit, if being hit on wasn't uncomfortable enough.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"No, I'm not. Sorry.", I tell him.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The car became a black leather couch, he has a bar in the living room and gets up and fixes a martini.  He picks up the glass and pulls out the olive on a toothpick and licks it then sucks it off.  "That's too bad, because you are really cute."&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"It's ok.  You are a nice person, I value your friendship.", I tell him.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;He brings me a drink and sits again uncomfortably close to me and is still hitting on me. "Well, maybe I can be a bit more persuasive?"&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;He get's up and goes to another room.  I stand up and look around.  I hear him brushing his teeth in the bathroom and watch as he leaves to his bedroom.  I walk into the bathroom and look at the sink.  I look up and see my reflection in the mirror.  The gaze of my eyes entrances me and I become fully lucid and realized.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I touch the counter-top of the sink, I anchor my awareness into the dream until I am 100% fully conscious.  I turn to look and he is back this time dressed up in some tuxedo outfit and standing with his hand on the door frame in a pose.  I look at him and draw a circle with my right hand.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I touch the center of the circle (which is translucent like thin fishing line) and the circle ripples out from the center and the dream fluctuates.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;He looks at me in fear, "Who the hell are you!"&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I point my hand at him and a strong beam of energy hits him and he locks in and can't move.  I walk over and look point blank into his eyes. I look at all the facial details.  He has short black hair, a strong chin and would be liked a lot by the Ladies.   Kind of Bruce Campbell looking.  In his 30's.  I am silent, my thoughts are calm there is no chatter.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I release him and sit down placing my hands together forming a triangle with my fingers.  I begin to meditate and relax the focus.  The dream shifts and fluctuates, he is still frozen in fear watching me.  I close me eyes and the dream goes blank.  I am in a void.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I sit there thoughtless, still and calm.  It's soothing, peaceful and tastes eternal and unending.  I am in a state of inaction, and perfect zen.  There is a rhythmic hum and the void envelops me.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;There is a sudden and loud click which causes the void to expand into a new dream.  I am now at my home and there is a girl that is from here who had her ears operated on.  She has the bandages off and I make a comment, "It must be nice to have the bandages off."&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;She looks at me and smiles, "Yes, I'm glad they are gone."&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"What did they do?", I ask her.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"Fixed my ears", she says.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"Well, they look really nice.  They did a good job.", I tell her.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;She is happy and walks away.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I am back in my house and my wife is there.

You can read my blog post regarding shared dreaming here:  &lt;a href="http://you-are-dreaming.blogspot.com/2010/07/shared-dreaming-real-life-inception.html"&gt;http://you-are-dreaming.blogspot.com/2010/07/shared-dreaming-real-life-inception.html&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;To my pleasant surprise, I have met a few natives who practice shared dreaming regularly.  They have joined Anthony Peake's Forum and have been reporting their dreams and also clearly making an effort to try to connect with me in a dream.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;It was brought to my attention that this empty mall that has occured in my dreams of late is something that Elew, one of the new friends I have in dreaming often has.  In my August 20th, 2010 dream, I had met a person where I was confused to who they were.  Until Elew showed me a picture of him then the whole chain of memory connections came slamming down to that one dream.  The entire dream is about mutual dreaming, carrying Robert Waggoner's book in the dream is testimony of that.  All the elements were clear in the dream.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Read all about it &lt;a href="http://anthonypeake.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=29&amp;amp;t=1383&amp;amp;p=12202#p12202"&gt;here&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;br /&gt;Elew introduced me to some of Cochitlehua's videos and it was like I was  staring at someone I had seen before and recently too.  I started  connecting all the facial features and familiarity which brought me to  this dream in forum: &lt;!-- l --&gt;&lt;a class="postlink-local" href="http://anthonypeake.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=29&amp;amp;t=1383&amp;amp;sid=672e03434a957a25aac9fa8c826b3d68#p12194"&gt;viewtopic.php?f=29&amp;amp;t=1383&amp;amp;sid=672e03434a957a25aac9fa8c826b3d68#p12194&lt;/a&gt;&lt;!-- l --&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The August 20th Dream.&lt;br /&gt;"There  is this one guy who is clearly high on acid, he is walking in a dazed  state. A person near me stops him and I can tell quite quickly that the  guy is out of it.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Then I notice a few more people in this hazed  drug like state and I start to think about mutual dreaming when people  are in a catatonic left-brain deprived state. This carnival really  reminds me of other similar dreams and they start to connect.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The  guy who came over has some shaman's staff and he throws a drift-wood  wand at the train. I shake my head and leave, I don't like people high  on acid, to unpredictable for me."&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Speaking with Elew in skype  today, I find out she dreams often of empty malls like in my journal.   Also Cochitlehua is in another dream I didn't journal because I can't  remember it, but I have fragments of talking with him (again this is  before I ever saw who he looks like in real life).&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Here is our chat log from today.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 64);"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Saturday August 21, 2010 - Chat Log.&lt;br /&gt;[1:09:56 PM] Ian Wilson: How are things today?&lt;br /&gt;[1:12:26 PM] Elew: Sad...&lt;br /&gt;[1:13:22 PM] Ian Wilson: Why?&lt;br /&gt;[1:17:14  PM] Elew: because it is too overwhelming for me to do dreaming around  people...the things that have happened, every time...and when people are  perposely hurtful, and then act like they never were...I cannot feel  open around them&lt;br /&gt;[1:17:36 PM] Ian Wilson: Oh it can be tough, this isn't an easy road we are on.&lt;br /&gt;[1:17:50 PM] Ian Wilson: The human spirit is rich in good and bad, we are yin and yang.&lt;br /&gt;[1:18:25 PM] Ian Wilson: It's why love is important for each of us to strive for.&lt;br /&gt;[1:19:07  PM] Ian Wilson: I've been reading all your dreams in the dreaming  corner and then going back and re-reading my dreams to see  similarities... the chain and mall strike a chord with my later dream of  a train and a mall.&lt;br /&gt;[1:19:22 PM] Ian Wilson: That although potentially described different does have similarity&lt;br /&gt;[1:20:17 PM] Elew: Most people don't know what love is...they feel it is that sticky human needy thing...&lt;br /&gt;[1:20:32 PM] Elew: There is a mall I go to all of the time&lt;br /&gt;[1:20:51 PM] Elew: It is empty, with no people in it...and I spend hours there&lt;br /&gt;[1:20:55 PM] Ian Wilson: I don't see it that way, it is compassion, unity, understanding and oneness.&lt;br /&gt;[1:21:05 PM] Ian Wilson: Yes, I have been in an empty mall all of a sudden.&lt;br /&gt;[1:21:11 PM] Ian Wilson: It's in my logs.&lt;br /&gt;[1:21:13 PM] Elew: I noticed that&lt;br /&gt;[1:21:23 PM] Ian Wilson: So much so I recognized the occurance.&lt;br /&gt;[1:21:45 PM] Ian Wilson: Which is new for me, I am just noticing it now.&lt;br /&gt;[1:22:43  PM] Elew: I have been going to one since I was small, the same one,  sometimes I am there for hours, and I have another book there where I  write dreams, because sometimes I am there for so long, that I sleep  there too, and wake there&lt;br /&gt;[1:23:27 PM] Elew: It is always dark there...no lights on, the shops are all closed up with the chain things over them&lt;br /&gt;[1:24:15 PM] Elew: When I am there, I am alone, and sometimes I even meditate there&lt;br /&gt;[1:24:32 PM] Elew: But things there do not move like in lucid dreams&lt;br /&gt;[1:24:43 PM] Ian Wilson: I meditated in my last dream... lol some east indian guru was there it was fun.&lt;br /&gt;[1:25:02 PM] Ian Wilson: I treat all my dreams as mutual now even if nothing comes of it in waking reality.&lt;br /&gt;[1:25:19 PM] Ian Wilson: Unless I completely engineer a unique dream that I know I am craeting&lt;br /&gt;[1:25:40 PM] Elew: I noticed that you knew about the carnival shared dream, from DV&lt;br /&gt;[1:26:03 PM] Ian Wilson: Really, I wasn't aware of a carnival, i should pay more attention.&lt;br /&gt;[1:26:45 PM] Elew: In the beyond dreaming area, they called it 'beyond dreaming tasks'&lt;br /&gt;[1:27:04 PM] Ian Wilson: I don't have lots of time to scour others posts, so i just follow very few that catch my eye.&lt;br /&gt;[1:27:24 PM] Ian Wilson: It makes sense because I was noticing mutual dream elements there.&lt;br /&gt;[1:27:24 PM] Elew: Oh&lt;br /&gt;[1:27:54  PM] Ian Wilson: Hence why i was noticing the drug effect on people...  clearly they wanted to be there but forgot or were not realized of it.&lt;br /&gt;[1:28:21  PM] Elew: Yeah, that is why we got banned from there, because they  asked me to dream with them, but then didn't like when it happened&lt;br /&gt;[1:28:39 PM] Ian Wilson: Oh... well not everyone can be happy with the results.&lt;br /&gt;[1:28:47 PM] Elew: yeah&lt;br /&gt;[1:28:51 PM] Ian Wilson: Again it's not an east task for all of us.&lt;br /&gt;[1:30:34 PM] Elew: yeah, I have become pretty used to going it alone&lt;br /&gt;[1:30:59 PM] Ian Wilson: I terrify people in my dreams sadly, like the guru...&lt;br /&gt;[1:31:10 PM] Ian Wilson: They get fearful that I am god, or something evil or good, not sure what it is.&lt;br /&gt;[1:31:24 PM] Ian Wilson: It's just that I am very affirmative in my knowing of self.&lt;br /&gt;[1:31:32 PM] Ian Wilson: I think that causes the panic button.&lt;br /&gt;[1:31:59 PM] Ian Wilson: Or that they are really in that dream, and become aware that I am also real.&lt;br /&gt;[1:32:07 PM] Ian Wilson: Hard to say, it's such an enigma.&lt;br /&gt;[1:34:52 PM] Elew: I had one guy who thought I was the almighty sunlight energy, for years he stalked me, physically&lt;br /&gt;[1:35:43 PM] Ian Wilson: I can relate to that also.&lt;br /&gt;[1:35:44 PM] Elew: He said he was god reincarnate&lt;br /&gt;[1:36:40  PM] Elew: But anyways, with dreaming around other people...I feel like  what happened in the last three places, it was just too much&lt;br /&gt;[1:36:51 PM] Ian Wilson: Everyone tends to get into the god confusion, it's rampant.&lt;br /&gt;[1:37:43 PM] Elew: Now when I feel excited to, when I notice those people around, my heart hurts&lt;br /&gt;[1:40:01 PM] Ian Wilson: well it's best to put up a sheild and filter in what and who you want&lt;br /&gt;[1:52:14  PM] Elew: I am not very good at that, because it requires closing off  parts of the inside self, and that can cloud seeing...so I have found  out that it is better to be honest inside on what I feel. Because just  like a shock wave, even when it is not seen, it still comes through&lt;br /&gt;[1:52:38 PM] Ian Wilson: true, honesty is the best.&lt;br /&gt;[1:54:43  PM] Elew: Sometimes it does make me feel sad, in the ways I have  said...but that is alright to feel...I just have to step back and really  go into why I feel it&lt;br /&gt;[1:55:24 PM] Elew: I saw that Tony is very excited about his happenings&lt;br /&gt;[1:55:41 PM] Elew: I wonder what he noticed&lt;br /&gt;[1:58:59 PM] Ian Wilson: Which thread?&lt;br /&gt;[1:59:02 PM] Ian Wilson: can you link?&lt;br /&gt;[1:59:56 PM] Elew: The one in the announcements, where he found the link no one has noticed...you already wrote in it&lt;br /&gt;[2:00:31 PM] Elew: &lt;!-- m --&gt;&lt;a class="postlink" href="http://www.anthonypeake.co.uk/forum/viewtopic.php?f=26&amp;amp;t=1395&amp;amp;p=12201#p12201"&gt;http://www.anthonypeake.co.uk/forum/vie ... 201#p12201&lt;/a&gt;&lt;!-- m --&gt;&lt;br /&gt;[2:01:00 PM] Ian Wilson: oh right I was wondering if it was something even newer lol&lt;br /&gt;[2:01:04 PM] Ian Wilson: my brain is too hyper active&lt;br /&gt;[2:01:12 PM] Elew: No, I am a day behind&lt;br /&gt;[2:01:35 PM] Ian Wilson: I live too much in the now moment&lt;br /&gt;[2:02:03 PM] Elew: I have not even found out where now really is&lt;br /&gt;[2:03:09 PM] Ian Wilson: It's everywhere.&lt;br /&gt;[2:04:21  PM] Elew: Or nowhere...I really like that article he posted on the  studies on seeing...I know someone who was very close with Monty Ullman,  he did alot of the dream studies/research with them&lt;br /&gt;[2:45:56 PM] Elew: Did you see Cochitlehua 's video?&lt;br /&gt;[2:49:26 PM] Ian Wilson: no where is it?&lt;br /&gt;[2:52:18 PM] Elew: It is here... [cut for privacy]&lt;br /&gt;[2:52:44 PM] Elew: He had put the link in his last dream entry, but then he removed it&lt;br /&gt;[2:53:40 PM] Elew: He does all of the music in his videos, he plays almost every instrument&lt;br /&gt;[2:54:09 PM] Ian Wilson: Oh nice... I take it that's him in the silloette?&lt;br /&gt;[2:54:12 PM] Elew: But most of the videos, and the music he does, or we do, is completely dream related&lt;br /&gt;[2:54:20 PM] Ian Wilson: that's awesome.&lt;br /&gt;[2:54:43 PM] Elew: Yeah, and you can see me in the pengin video&lt;br /&gt;[3:03:16  PM] Ian Wilson: in my dream on the train: The guy who came over has  some shaman's staff and he throws a drift-wood wand at the train. I  shake my head and leave, I don't like people high on acid, to  unpredictable for me.&lt;br /&gt;[3:03:39 PM] Ian Wilson: That was definately Cochitlehua , I recognize him in the videos 100% certain of it now&lt;br /&gt;[3:04:06  PM] Ian Wilson: Now I have a picture to match that person... lol I was  obviously being bias due to the mutual problem of sleeper's grog... had  exagerated the dream.&lt;br /&gt;[3:04:18 PM] Ian Wilson: darn, no wonder we called him over.&lt;br /&gt;[3:04:23 PM] Ian Wilson: I hate not being lucid.&lt;br /&gt;[3:05:07 PM] Ian Wilson: No doubts in my mind now with the image, I didn't have a reference but now I do.&lt;br /&gt;[3:06:14 PM] Elew: I wondered what that was about...but he does not do any drugs at all, he does not even drink alcohol&lt;br /&gt;[3:06:28 PM] Ian Wilson: It's my perception causing the confusion only.&lt;br /&gt;[3:06:55  PM] Ian Wilson: My perception was flawed and perhaps I projected that  he in maybe a not-so-awake state was under a drug influence, just a bad  judgement on my part...&lt;br /&gt;[3:06:58 PM] Ian Wilson: mis-translated dreaming&lt;br /&gt;[3:07:22  PM] Ian Wilson: Sorry about that, but one thing is clear... it was him  the face hair the nose the eyes, the shaman staff all makes sense now.&lt;br /&gt;[3:07:54 PM] Ian Wilson: I am sure he uses those right?  Ceremonial wands or staffs?&lt;br /&gt;[3:09:26  PM] Ian Wilson: It explains my hippy mistranslation, I just overlayed  the dream with some of my own bias... very interesting.&lt;br /&gt;[3:10:14 PM] Elew: He is shoshoni, which is not ritual spirituality, it is direct, now kind of working with energy.&lt;br /&gt;[3:11:23  PM] Elew: Yeah, we did feel the shaman wand could be about him. In his  other video 'something else' you could see that, him carrying a martial  arts staff&lt;br /&gt;[3:11:28 PM] Ian Wilson: I'll comment about it on Anthony's thread if you want, I have no doubts in my mind.&lt;br /&gt;[3:11:37 PM] Ian Wilson: I wouldn't say if it wasn't true.&lt;br /&gt;[3:11:57 PM] Elew: I don't mind&lt;br /&gt;[3:11:58 PM] Ian Wilson: All the mutual dreaming signs were there, the book the people the state they were in.&lt;br /&gt;[3:12:10 PM] Ian Wilson: Glad we are finally crossing that road&lt;br /&gt;[3:12:32 PM] Ian Wilson: Nice to finally meet him in dream, sorry about my confused overlay.&lt;br /&gt;[3:13:19 PM] Elew: Yeah, it is nice to find out how we each feel, if we compare like this&lt;br /&gt;[3:13:55  PM] Ian Wilson: When people are not conscious or lucid when I meet  them, often I mistake that for alcohol or drugs, so the dream  accomidates that confusion.&lt;br /&gt;[3:14:05 PM] Ian Wilson: He may not have been lucid, just ambient dreaming at that time I don't know for sure.&lt;br /&gt;[3:14:28  PM] Ian Wilson: It wasn't like he was hostile or mean or anything, just  I was not lucid so didn't get clarity needed to at least shake his  hand.&lt;br /&gt;[3:15:38 PM] Elew: I notice that alot of times when things are seen, then it may not be in a lucid state&lt;br /&gt;[3:16:21 PM] Elew: That is neat when someone is seen, before they are seen&lt;br /&gt;[3:16:22  PM] Ian Wilson: Let him know I wonder what he will say, probably not a  big suprise for us as we know this reality, but it's nice to connect  finally.&lt;br /&gt;[3:16:34 PM] Ian Wilson: For sure, it helps also make certain this is not trick of the mind.&lt;br /&gt;[3:17:28 PM] Elew: Alright, I will tell him...but maybe he would write something on it there, if you did&lt;br /&gt;[3:19:19 PM] Ian Wilson: Can I post this chat log too?&lt;br /&gt;[3:19:35 PM] Ian Wilson: I'll cut out the links to the vids.&lt;br /&gt;[3:19:39 PM] Ian Wilson: And change the names.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;We  really need to get images from dreams, this would be the first shared  dream potentially that I had in over 20 years.  Not that it doesn't  happen and we don't recognize it, but it's nice to have such a vivid  journal entry and a face in real life that matches the dream character.   Especially one who is a known shared dreamer themselves.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Props  Cochitlehua, hopefully you and Elew and I can have a lucid one soon.   Glad we discovered this via the skype chat, had I not seen the videos I  would not have had any idea it was you.  The wand especially is  something you use in real life correct?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;An Elew's empty shopping mall theme now in my dreams... very interesting to make note of.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/1818683220437348242-6902007251535115583?l=you-are-dreaming.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://you-are-dreaming.blogspot.com/feeds/6902007251535115583/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://you-are-dreaming.blogspot.com/2010/08/shared-dream-with-shoshoni-native-that.html#comment-form' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/1818683220437348242/posts/default/6902007251535115583'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/1818683220437348242/posts/default/6902007251535115583'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://you-are-dreaming.blogspot.com/2010/08/shared-dream-with-shoshoni-native-that.html' title='Shared Dream with a Shoshoni Native that I&apos;ve never physically met.'/><author><name>Ian Wilson</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/09312115730377763162</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1818683220437348242.post-2722432720477227375</id><published>2010-08-21T09:08:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2010-08-21T09:09:57.592-07:00</updated><title type='text'>August 21st, 2010 - Lucid Dream.</title><content type='html'>&lt;-- START MD5 ENCRYPTION --&gt;&lt;br /&gt;All HTML Tags must be stripped from this text.

It's nearly white with crystals and he's raving about it.  He wants me to load a bowl and go outside and smoke some.  I grab some and start chopping it on a table.  A person comes looking for me and sees we are going to smoke some.  He freaks out about it, says that he is telling the landlord and going to have us kicked out of the office building. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I tell him I don't really smoke week but on a rare occasion I might consider it.  He runs off and I finish packing the bowl.  We all get up and leave outside.  It's a nice day, a bit of cloud cover and there is a breeze.  We want to find a place that is not so breezy.  It turns out now that everyone has their own bong or device. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I spark mine up and it changes into a bong as we smoke we walk up a hill.  There are several people smoking weed here.  There is also an East Indian guru sitting in the lotus position with two people sitting next to them.  They all have red dots or kumkum on their foreheads.  He looks at me and ushers me to sit down.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"You are looking for something my son?", he asks me.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I sit down and all three of them look at me, "What is it that you think I seek?" I ask.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;He looks at me, he's fairly old in his 60's and grey hair that's long.  He has an orange robe on, a beaded necklace and also has a pipe.  I look at the sky and realize I am dreaming. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"You have many questions, why don't you ask me a few?", he says.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I give him a good long look over.  "Why do some dreams come true?" I ask him.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;He doesn't directly answer the question, rather starts to talk about spiritual matters such as chakras, deities and other metaphors.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"That's not the context of my question.  Right now, this is a dream, and I am wondering what makes this dream real, and what makes other dreams precognitive in nature?", I ask him.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;He now looks more startled and confused then confident.  "You can't say reality is a dream, dreams are dreams and this is real." he tells me.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"What makes you think this is real, and not a dream?", I ask him.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;He stands up and says, "You need to let me cleanse your chakras, you have become confused."&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;He waves his hands over my chest and face, then he puts his hand over the top of my head.  He staggers back and becomes wild in the eyes with fear and rambles on about demons and devils and some fire of something or other.  I don't quite remember what he is referring too.  But he tells me that I am a Deity or a devil and burn with some mystical fire of some sort.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I stand up and say, "It's not that complicated.  This is a dream.  It's natural to dream, we do it all the time."&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;He waves his hand at me, looking quite fearful, "But, but you are a God!"&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I laugh, "No, I am not a god.  I am just an ordinary person like you except this is a dream so I guess because I am dreaming it, that would give an appearance of something god like.  I assure you it's quite ordinary and common, we are all the gods of our dreams."&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I point at the sky and cause it to form geometric patterns in the clouds.  My hands emit a tactile sensation of energy.  I point at a bag that is on the ground and it starts to quiver then flys over to me.  "This is just a natural effect of becoming aware of a dream, it allows for more control over the order of ideas that form the dream state."&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;His followers are now even showing signs of fear and awe.  I look at them and start to laugh some more, "Relax, dreams are just organized thought.  It's not like changing them or moving objects in them is a big deal, that's totally natural.  What makes them a big deal is if they come true.  Now that is what I want to find out."&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I sit down and look at the sky, I start to think long and hard about the reality of thought and how it forms dreams.  I try to meditate and focus my awareness so that I am fully self-realized that I am dreaming.  Once fully aware that this is just a very real looking dream world.  I just sit and enjoy the natural flow of realism and thought that produces it.  It's beautiful really.  I have a nice view of a town nested in a valley with mountains, it looks very much like Penticton or Kelowna, what one would expect in the Okanagan.  The sky is vivid and clouds mingle amongst the blue canvas.  The mountains are covered with pine trees, the grass looks dry with a shade of brown.  I draw in a deep breath even though I know I don't have lungs.  Everything here is virtual reality in the form of a dream.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;It feels calming and soothing to just be self-realized here.  I think about all the people who only experience waking reality as vividly as I am experiencing this dream right now.  "If they only knew we had two realities, not one to play in", I think.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The yogi or guru is now sitting in front of me with his followers and calls me guru, he bows and I tell him bowing is not appropriate, we all come from oneness.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"You need to simplify everything you are teaching.", I tell the guru, "We should not confuse matters with complex metaphors and Deity worship because everything naturally exists in a unified field, all interconnected and part of a larger system of reality.  All consciousness flows from a singularity into the ideas of many.  We are all parts of a whole.  It doesn't need to be any more complicated then that."&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"But you are saying this is a dream?", he asks me.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"It is a dream.  Dreams are part of the larger system of reality.  We are all dreamers here.", I tell him, "The idea of dreaming itself should not be complicated as it is as natural as breathing for the conscious self.   It is all organized thought and a non-verbal language.  A means by which we communicate from a symbolic form into our current personality of the self."&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I focus on more items in the dream and cause them to move and float.  "Here we can do anything, the limits of physicality need not apply.  The dream reacts to our beliefs and thoughts so it is best to have less belief when experiencing the dream."&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The items drop to the ground and dust clouds emit from under them.  Lots of people are now sitting around in a circle and I look at them all.  "Try to see the natural and simple order of things, don't make dreaming any more complex then it needs to be."&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I start to feel a rumble from within then the dream starts to enfold and I wake up.  Baby decided to give me a kick in her sleep.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I go back to bed.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Dream 2: This dream was interesting because it did involve me looking at a news website and there was a featured cover story about a flood in Honduras.  I remember the A.P for Associated Press, the name Honduras and the fact it was a flood.  There was a picture in the news article of flooding. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Also in that dream, I was looking at a book that had a black header with maple-leaf flags across the top.  The leaves were slightly rotated, and possibly five leaves in total.  The book title seemed to fill the rest of the page, but baby again wakes me up so it's hard to recall these dreams short of a few details. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Codes:&lt;br /&gt;TTB:  Time-To-Bed:  The time the author went to bed.&lt;br /&gt;TA:   Time-Awake:  The time the author woke up.&lt;br /&gt;T2S:  Time-To-Sleep:  Estimated time it took to fall asleep.&lt;br /&gt;TTS:  Total-Time-Slept: Estimated time of sleep.&lt;br /&gt;ETID: Estimated-Time-In-Dream: Estimated sense of time as it passed in the dream.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;-- END MD5 ENCRYPTION --&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;MD5 Checksum: 307046efbf0bcea4a93271507eb21df1&lt;br /&gt;Encrypted online at: http://md5-hash-online.waraxe.us/&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Download Plain-text Version: https://docs.google.com/leaf?id=0B9w6moQJPZJuMTM5ZjdjZTktZjgwZC00OTQxLTkxMzctOGE5YjBkZWI5NjZk&amp;amp;sort=name&amp;amp;layout=list&amp;amp;num=50&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/1818683220437348242-2722432720477227375?l=you-are-dreaming.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://you-are-dreaming.blogspot.com/feeds/2722432720477227375/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://you-are-dreaming.blogspot.com/2010/08/august-21st-2010-lucid-dream.html#comment-form' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/1818683220437348242/posts/default/2722432720477227375'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/1818683220437348242/posts/default/2722432720477227375'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://you-are-dreaming.blogspot.com/2010/08/august-21st-2010-lucid-dream.html' title='August 21st, 2010 - Lucid Dream.'/><author><name>Ian Wilson</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/09312115730377763162</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1818683220437348242.post-1923690520855504221</id><published>2010-08-20T16:45:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2010-08-20T16:52:07.622-07:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='dreams'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='randi precognition'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='dunne'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='james'/><title type='text'>In response to Skeptics.

Here is a response where I serialize a few potential hits where past dream events correlate with same-day or next day events which if you read my articles on Symbolic Precognitive Dreaming is a pattern that is emerging with some of the precognitive dreams.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Here is the thread so you can read their views and opinions.  Remember that since 1927 with J.W. Dunne's book, "An Experiment with time", precognition dream research has been ongoing with several peer-reviewed journals that get rejected time and time again due to the parapsychology bias of the people one expects from skeptics abroad.  Don't think there isn't legitimate research, there is.  Just a lot of refusal to accept the studies as being anything other then bunk in the mind of closed minded skepticism.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;font-size:180%;" &gt;Here is the thread.  &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://forums.randi.org/showthread.php?t=182985"&gt;http://forums.randi.org/showthread.php?t=182985&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:180%;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;Sourcing out the immediate potential hits:&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;(My reply)james,&lt;br /&gt;Well, let's look closer at what is going on here shall we?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Take the first dream posting in regards to the skepticism.  All of that  is arguably in this post.  Tell me after the time stamp how much of that  has happened in this post?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color:DarkRed;"&gt;There was some skepticism regarding the experiment  which I was responding too, it seemed that the MD5 part of the  experiment was likable but other conditions were not. I remember  commenting on photographs, video and potentially other articles added in  the future might be more compelling if patterns seemed to fit was past  linked to a textual metaphor in the past. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://forums.randi.org/showpost.php?p=6232539&amp;amp;postcount=10" rel="nofollow" target="_blank"&gt;http://forums.randi.org/showpost.php...9&amp;amp;postcount=10&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Now I have 9 other forums that also suggest this is the place of argument for that one dream.

The evidence is in those threads that even the first  dream I posted has some precognitive elements suggestive of what is  matching the physical pattern.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Take the dream with Art Funkhouser&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://forums.randi.org/showpost.php?p=6236215&amp;amp;postcount=39" rel="nofollow" target="_blank"&gt;http://forums.randi.org/showpost.php...5&amp;amp;postcount=39&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color:DarkRed;"&gt;Dream 4: This dream I found interesting as I was  at Art Funkhousers house and talking with his wife, she was telling me  that Art speaks highly of me and she is very pleasant to speak with. "I  feel the same about Art, he is an amazing person and has been a big  inspiration for me", I tell her.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I mention in my follow-up dream that he unexpectedly called me. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://forums.randi.org/showpost.php?p=6241981&amp;amp;postcount=53" rel="nofollow" target="_blank"&gt;http://forums.randi.org/showpost.php...1&amp;amp;postcount=53&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color:DarkRed;"&gt;On a positive note, I did have a suprise Skype  call with Art Funkhouser which greatly makes up for the lack of sleep I  am experiencing right now. I found it so uncanny how acurate he looked  in the dream [August 17th, 2010] being so fresh in my mind I just  compared the quality of detail. I am not suggesting that the dream and  the skype call are linked, however it is compelling how the mind is  capable of drawing a concept of a person one has never met into such  perfect resolution to how they look in waking life. Dreams never cease  to impress. I'm not saying the meantioned dream has precognitive  qualities as Art lives in Switzerland and I live in Canada. The  likelyhood of us physically meeting is currently slim.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;This is very telling of same to next few day &lt;b&gt;symbolic precognition&lt;/b&gt; which you can see I have further anecdotes on my blog with photographs.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://you-are-dreaming.blogspot.com/2010/08/symbolic-precognitive-dream-revisited.html" rel="nofollow" target="_blank"&gt;http://you-are-dreaming.blogspot.com...revisited.html&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://you-are-dreaming.blogspot.com/2010/08/deconstructing-symbolic-precognitive.html" rel="nofollow" target="_blank"&gt;http://you-are-dreaming.blogspot.com...cognitive.html&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;You can read more about symbolic precognition in this article I wrote.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://you-are-dreaming.blogspot.com/2010/07/anatomy-of-precognitive-dream.html" rel="nofollow" target="_blank"&gt;http://you-are-dreaming.blogspot.com...ive-dream.html&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Which then brings up the Anthony Peake calls, again unexpected.  The  second attempt at calling me we could not establish a connection which  is very much linked to a missed call in the end of the last dream  posting in same-day/next day symbolic dreaming.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://forums.randi.org/showpost.php?p=6243585&amp;amp;postcount=56" rel="nofollow" target="_blank"&gt;http://forums.randi.org/showpost.php...5&amp;amp;postcount=56&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color:DarkRed;"&gt;I end up having a dream within a dream and wake up  in my bed. I hear my computer ringing and it's Anthony again I run down  to answer the call but missed him. I'm woken up suddenly for real&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I can't tamper with these postings, they are showing relevancy to waking  life... and we are just getting started by any stretch of the  imagination.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Like I said, this isn't going to be easy, regardless of what I know  about probability theory, non-linear and non-locality in regards to  human cognition, it has yet to be proven and like I said... science is  still struggling with the hard problems of consciousness and the  subjective argument. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I need to establish pattern and base-line... it's looking promising so  far.  The very first dream in fact is very telling to the future outcome  as evident on ALL forums thanks.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/1818683220437348242-1923690520855504221?l=you-are-dreaming.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://you-are-dreaming.blogspot.com/feeds/1923690520855504221/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://you-are-dreaming.blogspot.com/2010/08/in-response-to-skeptics-we-all-have-our.html#comment-form' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/1818683220437348242/posts/default/1923690520855504221'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/1818683220437348242/posts/default/1923690520855504221'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://you-are-dreaming.blogspot.com/2010/08/in-response-to-skeptics-we-all-have-our.html' title='In response to Skeptics.

I have Robert Waggoners, "Lucid Dreaming: The Gateway to the Inner Self".  I recognize the cover and the text is clear and visible.  The kids are playing in the water park.  There is a fountain there that looks interesting, stone carved and spraying water onto a stage.  I walk over and look at the plaque, it has some foundation or hospital written in text on it.  I can visibly read it in the dream but on waking I am unable to remember what it said.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I recognize my brother-in-law in the dream and we are with family.  I drop Robert's book over a causeway and have to run down a flight of stairs to pick it up.  The dream fast-forwards or I simply can't recall this part.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Now I am at my Aunt's place in Vancouver.  My cousin, her son and my Uncle are all there.  I still have Robert's book, and I am reading it in small doses through-out the dream. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Dream 2:&lt;br /&gt;This dream had a really nice quality of realism, a fully rich tactile dream with all the senses engaged.  I am on a train and walk into the conductor's quarters.  He has a few bottles of alcohol above a counter.  There is jagermeister, Vodka and Cognac.  I pull out the bottle of Cognac, it's a rather large bottle with a very round base.  I struggle getting the lid off.  I want to have a swig of it before anyone catches me.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;A lady catches me but wants to also have a drink.  The cap is hard to get off.  I struggle with it, it resists and I can feel all the normal expected rigid sensations that one would expect from waking reality.  Finally I get the cap off and smell the Cognac, it smells sweet, not at all like expected.  Now uncertain, I take a swig and it tastes like a sweet caramel liquor, almost butterscotch.  I'm puzzled by the taste because I was expecting it to taste like Cognac.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Disappointed and now kind of grossed out I put the cap back on and put the bottle back.  I think that the conductor is just using the bottle to hold another liquor.  Too sweet for my tastes.  It still has an after-taste of alcohol but I was not interested as much in drinking rather in just having a taste.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I go and sit down watching the trees and mountains pass by as the train drives on.  It comes to a stop near and around the station is a festival.  There seems to be a lot of hippies around.  There is a band that I can see to the right of my view.  There is this one guy who is clearly high on acid, he is walking in a dazed state.  A person near me stops him and I can tell quite quickly that the guy is out of it.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Then I notice a few more people in this hazed drug like state and I start to think about mutual dreaming when people are in a catatonic left-brain deprived state.  This carnival really reminds me of other similar dreams and they start to connect.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The guy who came over has some shaman's staff and he throws a drift-wood wand at the train.  I shake my head and leave, I don't like people high on acid, to unpredictable for me.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I walk to a parking lot and notice a car has some type of TV set in the window.  I watch the show for a bit, and an old lady walks past me.  I walk into a mall.  I still have Robert Waggoner's book on Lucid Dreaming in my hand.  In the mall, there are no people (This abandoned mall theme seems to be reoccurring).  I go to a store and no-one is there to serve me.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The whole mall is abandoned and I wonder how I got in there in the first place.  I see bins of candy and decide to help myself to a few chocolate milk-duds.  The candy tastes sweet and I decide to grab a few chocolate bars for the road.  I take super-sized Mr. Big candy bar and walk out of the mall.  At this point I wake up.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I was not able to record my dream until later today (on my lunch) so other dreams have been stripped from memory.  Work deadlines are here so as much as I want to spend more time on this project I have to reduce the time among my already limited sleeping night.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I'll keep trying to capture my golden precognitive veridical dream.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Codes:&lt;br /&gt;TTB:  Time-To-Bed:  The time the author went to bed.&lt;br /&gt;TA:   Time-Awake:  The time the author woke up.&lt;br /&gt;T2S:  Time-To-Sleep:  Estimated time it took to fall asleep.&lt;br /&gt;TTS:  Total-Time-Slept: Estimated time of sleep.&lt;br /&gt;ETID: Estimated-Time-In-Dream: Estimated sense of time as it passed in the dream.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;-- END MD5 ENCRYPTION --&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;MD5 Checksum: f8957781ca5633e14428c366a94fb3d4&lt;br /&gt;Encrypted online at: http://md5-hash-online.waraxe.us/&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Download Plain-text Version: https://docs.google.com/leaf?id=0B9w6moQJPZJuM2NjNmVkMWQtYTM1MC00MTQ1LWE4ZjktOGFhYTY5OTRmNDJi&amp;amp;hl=en&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/1818683220437348242-1331798347852473009?l=you-are-dreaming.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://you-are-dreaming.blogspot.com/feeds/1331798347852473009/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://you-are-dreaming.blogspot.com/2010/08/august-20th-2010-dream-non-lucid.html#comment-form' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/1818683220437348242/posts/default/1331798347852473009'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/1818683220437348242/posts/default/1331798347852473009'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://you-are-dreaming.blogspot.com/2010/08/august-20th-2010-dream-non-lucid.html' title='August 20th 2010 Dream - Non-lucid'/><author><name>Ian Wilson</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/09312115730377763162</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1818683220437348242.post-8107313617700303055</id><published>2010-08-19T09:13:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2010-08-19T09:58:46.368-07:00</updated><title type='text'>Same Day Precognition perhaps?</title><content type='html'>&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_oJnCf0OXCoE/TG1ZqblydwI/AAAAAAAAADA/kCqB7mofiow/s1600/another_call.png"&gt;http://you-are-dreaming.blogspot.com/2010/08/august-19th-2010-non-lucid.html&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_oJnCf0OXCoE/TG1ZkKtCPAI/AAAAAAAAAC4/Spi3F1GhqVU/s1600/anthony_peake_oovoo.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="display: block; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 250px;" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_oJnCf0OXCoE/TG1ZkKtCPAI/AAAAAAAAAC4/Spi3F1GhqVU/s400/anthony_peake_oovoo.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5507156397227392002" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;In regards to my dream for August 9th, 2010 I do have an interesting coincidence with an unexpected call from Anthony Peake.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;In the dream he called me twice, and that is precisely how it seems to be happening today.

These are always the hardest dreams to remember, will be a bit fragmented.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I am checking Facebook, I have one message and one event badge in the screen.  I try to make note of more details but perception dips into darkness.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I am having a discussion with some being about shared dreams and objectivity within the dream state.  It is really hard to recall what we were saying other then we talked about how near impossible it was based on so many underlying factors of human dream recall and disorientation in the dream state.  There really is no form, it's all quite dark where I am at. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I am waiting for my friend Todd, I am at my house.  He comes over through the front door.  Austin is also here.&lt;br /&gt;I apologise to Todd about not having any beer, I feel sad and embarrassed by it.  He says it's no problem.&lt;br /&gt;I have to leave him there and go somewhere.  Where I go and what I do I can't remember.&lt;br /&gt;I come back he is watching TV. &lt;br /&gt;tts: 12:00 ta: 2:22&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Dream 2:&lt;br /&gt;I have an ooVoo chat with Anthony Peake.  We are talking about entanglement and singularity theory on how everything is interconnected through this entanglement.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;We are talking about how physics may find that superposition and entanglement is also non-linear in nature and that information could theoretically not only teleport 10 miles, but could move forward and back through time.  We talk about how precognition is just an effect of entanglement and that some people are more in tune with how information moves within this entangled state. We talk about probable reality and actual reality and say a lot of misses could be hits in alternative probabilities that simply didn't actualize.  This accounts for all the rare occurrences or when nearly all the details match but some have slightly altered.  We get into Everett's Many-World interpretation and wave-function collapse.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I said something along the lines of, "We see wave/particle duality in these quantum states but seldom consider this in a larger scale and how that impacts how duality impacts our waking world.  We really need to look at quantum states in relativity to scale not just in tiny observations.  Our entire reality is built upon these simple principles."&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;We talk about wave/particle duality and discuss how this applies to dreams and precognition.  That a dream effectively is a wave of organize thought that represents reality up until the point that it is observed in waking reality and collapses into actuality.  Anthony talks about a few physicists who theorise along the premise that we are in effect collapsing our reality through the act of observation.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"This is all probable reality in the form of dreams that later actualize, the physics of it has to be addressed from non-linear and non-locality theory.", I suggest.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;We also talk about digital physics and cellular automata and how the Universe is in essence a naturally organized database of information that is rendered when it is observed.  That matter is also energy and information.  The information is critical in how it renders and affects qualia.  This rendering is part of how we make the data real to us.  That we are in effect creating our own reality based on subjective permutations within the objective data.  This is why so many people experience so many things differently and there is cause for confusion when science can only measure the most obvious but not the gradient found in probability theory and the subjective argument.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I end up having a dream within a dream and wake up in my bed.  I hear my computer ringing and it's Anthony again I run down to answer the call but missed him.  I'm woken up suddenly for real, from the kid so much of my dreams collapse as usual.  I am not complaining, remembering them and even having them under these circumstances is a gift in itself.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;TTB: 3:20AM TA: 5:54AM&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Shaving off more time for sleep in favor of work deadlines so no more dreams today.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Codes:&lt;br /&gt;TTB:  Time-To-Bed:  The time the author went to bed.&lt;br /&gt;TA:   Time-Awake:  The time the author woke up.&lt;br /&gt;T2S:  Time-To-Sleep:  Estimated time it took to fall asleep.&lt;br /&gt;TTS:  Total-Time-Slept: Estimated time of sleep.&lt;br /&gt;ETID: Estimated-Time-In-Dream: Estimated sense of time as it passed in the dream.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;-- END MD5 ENCRYPTION --&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;MD5 Checksum: 1ed9ff62a912dcc5abcd91a51d1b2e31&lt;br /&gt;Encrypted online at: http://md5-hash-online.waraxe.us/&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Download Plain-text Version: https://docs.google.com/leaf?id=0B9w6moQJPZJuZjdiN2NmYWMtODk1Ny00YWQ5LWJhYWQtOTU2MjVhYjJhMWNm&amp;amp;sort=name&amp;amp;layout=list&amp;amp;num=50&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/1818683220437348242-3497768898585776049?l=you-are-dreaming.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://you-are-dreaming.blogspot.com/feeds/3497768898585776049/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://you-are-dreaming.blogspot.com/2010/08/august-19th-2010-non-lucid.html#comment-form' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/1818683220437348242/posts/default/3497768898585776049'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/1818683220437348242/posts/default/3497768898585776049'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://you-are-dreaming.blogspot.com/2010/08/august-19th-2010-non-lucid.html' title='August 19th, 2010 - Non-Lucid'/><author><name>Ian Wilson</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/09312115730377763162</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1818683220437348242.post-5111876579102331397</id><published>2010-08-18T17:09:00.001-07:00</published><updated>2010-08-18T17:09:30.977-07:00</updated><title type='text'>August 18th, 2010 - Non-Lucid dream</title><content type='html'>&lt;-- START MD5 ENCRYPTION --&gt;&lt;br /&gt;All HTML Tags must be stripped from this text.

This is clearly not the case as with 3 other kids in the house, all three finding their own way to raid the kitchen, use the bathroom, make noise.  I was interupted over 7 times from 12:30am-2:00am and I really have no idea how to find solitude to conduct the experimentation.  Concidering all I need is sleep to dream; that in itself is a rare commodity these days.  That said, one must endure life's bitter circumstances.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;On a positive note, I did have a suprise Skype call with Art Funkhouser which greatly makes up for the lack of sleep I am experiencing right now.  I found it so uncanny how acurate he looked in the dream [August 17th, 2010] being so fresh in my mind I just compared the quality of detail.  I am not suggesting that the dream and the skype call are linked, however it is compelling how the mind is capable of drawing a concept of a person one has never met into such perfect resolution to how they look in waking life.  Dreams never cease to impress.  I'm not saying the meantioned dream has precognitive qualities as Art lives in Switzerland and I live in Canada. The likelyhood of us physically meeting is currently slim.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Second attempt at sleep, again 3 more interuptions.  I also have a special needs daughter so she is now active and intent on ensuring I'm sleep deprived and unable to sleep.  I envy those who can sleep more then an hour uninterupted.  It's now 3:22am and every attempt to sleep has been foiled.  Anyone want some kids?  The sun is coming up soon, it will be impossible to sleep on the couch.  Which is I guess telling me an occasional kick in the face by the baby is better then no sleep at all.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Amazing how an effort to avoid this dilema has turned into a symphony of chaos.  I'll never make this attempt again I had no idea how heavily trafficted the couch area is at these hours.  If I get a dream out of this mess, it will be a miracle and I deserve at least a stupid T-shirt that says, "Thanks for the kick in the face."  All I need is 30 minutes sleep, I can dream 7 hours in that time.  Can't even get that right now.  Fustrating.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Dream 1: Managed to fall asleep finally, I did dream about work.  I was doing programming and GUI designs.  There was some other elements outside of the work bit but I was again woken up by the baby suddenly so memory collapse.  Just the utmost terrible sleeping and dreaming conditions ever.  I'm going to take a nap once everyone is out of the house and just work through the morning.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;TTB: 3:30 TA: 4:40&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I work until 6:30am but am so tired from all the lack of sleep I decide to sleep on the couch.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Dream 2: This was a bit more of a disturbing dream.  I was at a hotel with our older daughter.  I am out on the balcony having a view of the city skyline.  The balcony has gaps in the wall that she manages to slip through, she is now on the outside of the balcony.  I turn and notice her just in time to watch her fall.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;She falls over 4 stories and lands head first on the concrete below.  Blood and brain splatters out and I freak out.  The dream is very real even though I doubt any balcony would be that unsafe in real life.  I run back inside and run down the stairs.  I am in shock and crying.  I tell the lady at the front desk to call 9/11 as I run past.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Out side she is dead on the concrete, her head is split wide open and the dream is kind enough to render brain matter and blood scattered in the impact zone and near-by area.  I kneel down by her and I am crying.  Some person comes and takes me away from her back into the hotel and tries to comphort me.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Inside I call my wife and tell her to come quickly and give her the bad news.  There is the hotel manager and he is actually laughing about the scenario and talking about how cool the blood and brain was.  I get angry and tell him to shut-up and that I am suing him and the hotel.  He stops laughing.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The ambulance comes and takes her away.  I am starting to settle down and stop crying that is until my wife shows up and all the emotions come over me again.  She however is quite casual like it's no big deal.  I tell her how it all happened and she gets mad at me for not paying attention.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I tell her I didn't notice until after it was too late and I couldn't do anything to stop her from falling.  The phone rings, and wakes me up.  Which is for the better, the dream was quite disturbing.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Although seemingly real, there are obvious unreal elements to the dream.  How people reacted like the Hotel manager, the obviously unsafe balcony, I am sure safety standards to permit gaps that large just for that reason.  My wife's reaction was as if her and I switched emotional personalities as I tend not to be so emotional, although I am sure I would be horrified in real life if that did happen.  I don't suspect anything precognitive from it.  I can't see me in a hotel room with her anytime soon.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Codes:&lt;br /&gt;TTB:  Time-To-Bed:  The time the author went to bed.&lt;br /&gt;TA:   Time-Awake:  The time the author woke up.&lt;br /&gt;T2S:  Time-To-Sleep:  Estimated time it took to fall asleep.&lt;br /&gt;TTS:  Total-Time-Slept: Estimated time of sleep.&lt;br /&gt;ETID: Estimated-Time-In-Dream: Estimated sense of time as it passed in the dream.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;-- END MD5 ENCRYPTION --&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;MD5 Checksum: 910cee11497163b6ea905b7af5c53769&lt;br /&gt;Encrypted online at: http://md5-hash-online.waraxe.us/&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Download Plain-text Version: https://docs.google.com/leaf?id=0B9w6moQJPZJuZGFkNGMwZmMtNWMzZi00MzA4LWEyOTktNmU4YzhlOWNmZTVm&amp;amp;sort=name&amp;amp;layout=list&amp;amp;num=50&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/1818683220437348242-5111876579102331397?l=you-are-dreaming.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://you-are-dreaming.blogspot.com/feeds/5111876579102331397/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://you-are-dreaming.blogspot.com/2010/08/august-18th-2010-non-lucid-dream.html#comment-form' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/1818683220437348242/posts/default/5111876579102331397'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/1818683220437348242/posts/default/5111876579102331397'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://you-are-dreaming.blogspot.com/2010/08/august-18th-2010-non-lucid-dream.html' title='August 18th, 2010 - Non-Lucid dream'/><author><name>Ian Wilson</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/09312115730377763162</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1818683220437348242.post-5422091685905995291</id><published>2010-08-17T09:14:00.001-07:00</published><updated>2010-08-17T09:18:43.816-07:00</updated><title type='text'>August 17th, 2010 Dreams.</title><content type='html'>&lt;iframe src="http://www.facebook.com/plugins/like.php?href=http%3A%2F%2Fyou-are-dreaming.blogspot.com%2F2010%2F08%2Faugust-17th-2010-dreams.html&amp;amp;layout=standard&amp;amp;show_faces=true&amp;amp;width=450&amp;amp;action=like&amp;amp;colorscheme=light&amp;amp;height=80" scrolling="no" frameborder="0" style="border:none; overflow:hidden; width:450px; height:80px;" allowtransparency="true"&gt;&lt;/iframe&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;-- START MD5 ENCRYPTION --&gt;&lt;br /&gt;All HTML Tags must be stripped from this text.

Falling asleep, I find myself instantly in front of my computers resuming work.  I'm awake and very lucid that I am back working and start to think that it's odd that I am on my computer working again.  Uncertain of how I thought that I went to bed and was actually still working created some interesting inner debate.  Eventually to prove that I was not indeed working I woke myself up and proved that I was already in bed.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Dream 2:&lt;br /&gt;When I fall asleep again, I have a dream that seems to be just continuing skeptical debate about precognition and non-locality.  This time it's not on the computer but rather talking with someone I know.  There is a lot of context here but on waking suddenly again due to the baby I'm suffering from a type of memory collapse.  Have to get a better control on the dream enviroment for the experiment.  Always circumstances interfering.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;TTB: 2:20am TA: 5:56am T2S: ~10m  TTS: 3:16m ETID: ~20m (memory collapse truncated sense-of-time)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Dream 3: Talk with anthony peake.&lt;br /&gt;In this dream, I am speaking with Anthony Peake.  We are having an interesting discussion on dreaming.  It might me another interview as I remember him asking me some questions and making some comments.  It was very brief however because I am kicked awake not too shortly after starting to engage this dream.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Dream 4: This dream I found interesting as I was at Art Funkhousers house and talking with his wife, she was telling me that Art speaks highly of me and she is very pleasant to speak with.  "I feel the same about Art, he is an amazing person and has been a big inspiration for me", I tell her.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I see Art sitting at a table and I go and wash my hands.  He looks very happy as we sit at the table and talk over some tea and light lunch.  He commented on the conversation with is wife and I tell him that she is very kind.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;We are talking about some TV interviews and I am telling him how grateful I am for everything we have shared.  We both seem genuinely happy and enjoy eating lunch.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;At one point I get up and the dream shifts a bit, I walk through a door and it shifts into a garage then I am out side throwing some rice and bean dish in the trash bin.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;TTB: 6:30am TA: 8:10am T2S: ~20m  TTS: 1h 20m ETID: ~1h (memory collapse truncated sense-of-time)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Codes:&lt;br /&gt;TTB:  Time-To-Bed:  The time the author went to bed.&lt;br /&gt;TA:   Time-Awake:  The time the author woke up.&lt;br /&gt;T2S:  Time-To-Sleep:  Estimated time it took to fall asleep.&lt;br /&gt;TTS:  Total-Time-Slept: Estimated time of sleep.&lt;br /&gt;ETID: Estimated-Time-In-Dream: Estimated sense of time as it passed in the dream.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;-- END MD5 ENCRYPTION --&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;MD5 Checksum: 0b02233483efc8a31d32f12c54b80b0f&lt;br /&gt;Encrypted online at: http://md5-hash-online.waraxe.us/&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Download Plain-text Version: https://docs.google.com/leaf?id=0B9w6moQJPZJuOWI2ZjhjNjAtNzE3Yy00MTc2LTk5NTEtZjliYTQ0ZjdmNTEx&amp;amp;sort=name&amp;amp;layout=list&amp;amp;num=50&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/1818683220437348242-5422091685905995291?l=you-are-dreaming.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://you-are-dreaming.blogspot.com/feeds/5422091685905995291/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://you-are-dreaming.blogspot.com/2010/08/august-17th-2010-dreams.html#comment-form' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/1818683220437348242/posts/default/5422091685905995291'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/1818683220437348242/posts/default/5422091685905995291'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://you-are-dreaming.blogspot.com/2010/08/august-17th-2010-dreams.html' title='August 17th, 2010 Dreams.'/><author><name>Ian Wilson</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/09312115730377763162</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1818683220437348242.post-7314253007245628711</id><published>2010-08-16T09:47:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2010-08-16T10:03:00.337-07:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='dreams'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='deja reve'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='deja vu'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='precognitive'/><title type='text'>August 16th, 2010 - Non-lucid dreams.</title><content type='html'>&lt;iframe src="http://www.facebook.com/plugins/like.php?href=http%3A%2F%2Fyou-are-dreaming.blogspot.com%2F2010%2F08%2Faugust-16th-2010-non-lucid-dreams.html&amp;amp;layout=standard&amp;amp;show_faces=true&amp;amp;width=450&amp;amp;action=like&amp;amp;colorscheme=light&amp;amp;height=80" scrolling="no" frameborder="0" style="border:none; overflow:hidden; width:450px; height:80px;" allowtransparency="true"&gt;&lt;/iframe&gt;&lt;br /&gt;This is the start of some more controls on experimenting with precognitive dreaming and the attempts to gather more data and evidence regarding the experience.

I was reading forum posts related to this subject.  I was receiving some interest in the experimentation.  There was some skepticism regarding the experiment which I was responding too, it seemed that the MD5 part of the experiment was likable but other conditions were not.  I remember commenting on photographs, video and potentially other articles added in the future might be more compelling if patterns seemed to fit was past linked to a textual metaphor in the past.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;In one case, there was a lady who was talking about how this happens to her and her family.  She was interested in participating. I was flipping through a few forums looking for more interest in participation.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Dream 2:&lt;br /&gt;This dream involved a conversation with a person, a male.  He was tall, skinny and had glasses on.  We were in a park possibly or walking down a street.  The details are a bit blurry on being woken up by a screaming, kicking baby.  A casualty of waking induced amnesia no doubt.  I do know that My-Big-Toe was being discussed in some level of context but not really able to pull much out of that mess.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;TTB: 1:30am TA: 2:36am T2S: ~20m TTS: ~46m ETID: ~40m&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Obviously didn't get anywhere sleeping so will go back and have another round before I continue.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Dream 3&lt;br /&gt;I am in some subway system at and my friends walk onto a train.  My friends already got their tickets and I don't.  It is a short 1 stop trip we need to take to another terminal.  The usher turns me away for no ticket.  I go to the terminal to get one.  The terminal has a steel pad with symbols and is too complicated.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I try to punch in my destination, they want all sorts of irrelevant information.  I am holding up the line.  Struggling to pay the ticket.  A lady frustrated helps me by doing it for me.  I get my ticket and run back to the train.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Just as I am arriving the doors close and I watch as the train starts to pull out of the station.  My friends are laughing and waving at me.  I turn back defeated and walk to sit on a bench and wait for the next train.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Dream 4&lt;br /&gt;I am at a friends Chinese restaurant eating won-ton soup.  The broth tastes really good.  There is some bok choy, green onions floating on the top.  A nice piece of pork sliced.  I just sit and enjoy eating the soup.  My mom is there with me.  She also likes the soup.  We are sitting in a booth and a waiter comes up and asks us how everything was.  I tell him it's very good.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Later I am visiting friends and talking about eating at the restaurant.  It's the twins.  We are talking about old times and new times.&lt;br /&gt;This is all taking place in Penticton.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;With girl I knew from high-school, we are driving to a club in Penticton called Night-Moves.  We park in a lot behind Ellis street and reminisce about old times [ false memory here; what was in the dream is a total fabrication of events that never took place in waking life ].  It turns out in the past we were boyfriend / girlfriend and had an intimate relationship.  Some of that is partly true however she was claiming we had sex in the parking lot in a van.  That is the fabrication and false memory.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;We walk to the night-club, stand in line and go in.  The dream shifts into a house it seems.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Dream 5&lt;br /&gt;I am at a house.  It seems the family is involved in the entertainment industry.  I am there for quite some time (couple hours at least) talking with a man and his kids are running around.  I'm playing some guitar and he's writing music.  We are going to make dinner on the patio and BBQ.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;When I walk out I hear the kids yelling, screaming having a hell of a good time.  I wonder what the ruckus is all about.  I watch as they are diving off the balcony falling two stories then floating before they hit the bottom.  They then float back up and do it again.  The Father throws down a towel which falls with seemingly convincing gravity and folds.  The dream realism is quite acute.  Even touching the banister on the balcony felt cold, steel and solid.  I leaned on it to look at the bizarre dream-like quality of the kids flying.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;It reminds me of when I was a kid and could fly in my dreams.  I was thrilled that they were also dreaming of flying.  Interesting how it didn't queue me to the fact I was dreaming.  The realism was just to entrancing to break free.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Dream 6&lt;br /&gt;At a shopping mall.  I am sitting on a bench and have three CD's for a female artist called "Under".  She was at the mall and apparently we were with friends of hers.  I wasn't a friend, I was the new guy who was the friend of the friend of hers.  She saw I had three of her CD's and recognized them.  I had never listened to them before and didn't even know who the artist was.  I opened one of the covers and looked at the semi-translucent CD.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The artist seemed young, in her 20's and she was blond and had very striking eyes.  Quite cute to say the least.  She was happy that I had her CD's and offered to autograph them.  I obliged and she signed them each.  We all left the mall to go to a party. We fast-forward to the party. There are a few celebrities there that I recognize.  Ashton Kucher and Jeff Goldbloom to name a few.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The party goes on for a while, I know because I drink 7 beers in the dream and can account for each one.  This dream definitely lasted hours and I was sitting hanging out with Under and her friends.  I got to start liking her as a person.  Her one friend kind of looked like her.  They were both really beautiful.  These clearly are people I don't know from my waking life.  I never heard of any band called Under.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Aston is there with other people and he's being funny cracking jokes and not taking things to seriously.  At one point I am talking with Jeff Goldbloom drinking beer and that's how I remembered these two dream characters.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;There is a bar, and I keep going back there to get a refill of beer.  I am drinking some kind of American beer, like a Samuel Adams.  I remember thinking it tasted like Alexander Keith's.  It was good beer, ice cold and refreshing.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The bar tender was a middle aged man.  He wore a black button shirt with a color.  Had dark black hair and a small spot of hair on his chin.  He always looked at me a bit odd.  It unsettled me but the beer was worth his quirky demeanor.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I start getting drunk after the 5th beer.  I can feel the alcohol and I'm a little more tipsy and loosened up.  Now I am starting to joke around with Under and her friends.  We mostly stay at one table at the party talking.  She's talking about her music career.  I'm talking about my company and what we do there.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;At one point I have to go to the bathroom.  It was really nice, beautiful tile and large.  I keep getting up to go get beer.  After my 7th beer I was quite glowing with alcohol.  The party is starting to wrap up and I go to get one last beer. There are bottles all over the bar and I end up knocking a few over. After seeing that, the bartender won't serve me anymore.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I try to plea with him for one more beer before the night is over.  He's being a prick so won't let me have one.  Under and her friend come to find me at the bar.  Under is talking about where the next after-party is at and that we should all go there.  They pack a few bottles of hard-alcohol and here I am really looking at her facial features.  She has freckles, a really nice shaped nose.  I find her eyes really interesting because they are a little on the large size.  I keep looking at her nose when she talks, I find the nose details really unique.  She keeps looking at me briefly while she talks and her other friend is there both chatting it up about the party, how much fun they had and where to go next.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;It's here that the party has changes slightly.  My kids and wife are now there and I hear my 19mo old crying.  I snap out of my stupor and go looking for her.  She is with some strange man that I don't know.  He is East Indian and gives me a really dark vibe.  I take my baby from him and she has a mouth full of glitter.  It's all over her face and I accuse the man of doing that to her.  It looked like he was pouring something in her mouth when I ran up there.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I rush her to a bathroom where I start to scrape the glitter off her tongue. I take several finger scoops from her mouth to get as much out as I can. I wipe it on a towel, she is very unhappy.  It's in her eyes and I wet a cloth and try to clean it off her face. A lady comes, turns on black-light.  Suddenly my baby's face suddenly reveals a circus du Sollie style [third dream now with this themed] mask.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I am amazed at how detailed and beautiful the artwork is.  How it required black-light to reveal all the intricate designs.  Regardless of how amazing it looked from an artistic perspective, I was still very angry about the glitter episode.  Once I have all the glitter cleaned up and she's happy.  I go back into the party.  I find my wife and give my daughter and go find this man responsible for the glitter.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I confront him over it.  He doesn't speak English and is being rude, this makes me more angry so I flip him onto the ground. I start to stomp on his face repeatedly but it does nothing.  He passes out however and I notice the wall has all these drawers with make-up and raw powders etc.  Not sure why so much face-painting themes in my dreams of late.  Have to write it as I see it.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I also notice that my other daughter is sleeping on the floor.  I pick her up and go to find my wife, who has now lost track of the baby.  In frustration, I go looking for her.  She is with another man who is feeding her a doughnut.  I go and get her back and am angry that people are just taking these liberties with my child.  They are strangers and it makes me angry.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I start to think they might be creepy pedophiles and get my family out of there to a safer place to be.  I wake up.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;TTB:  3:30am TA: 5:33am  T2S: ~10m TTS: 1h 50m ETID: ~8h (could be more hard to guage time here because so many dreams took place, many of them seemed to last for hours)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I tried for another short nap to see if any dreams would come of it.  Falling asleep was so miserably with the baby constantly kicking and moving I ended up just in a semi-asleep state thinking until I had to get up for work.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Codes:&lt;br /&gt;TTB:  Time-To-Bed:  The time the author went to bed.&lt;br /&gt;TA:   Time-Awake:  The time the author woke up.&lt;br /&gt;T2S:  Time-To-Sleep:  Estimated time it took to fall asleep.&lt;br /&gt;TTS:  Total-Time-Slept: Estimated time of sleep.&lt;br /&gt;ETID: Estimated-Time-In-Dream: Estimated sense of time as it passed in the dream.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;*Just a note, the Under crew were all people I have never met or seen before, I tried googling to see if there is a band called under, but found none as that title.  It clearly was under written in text and we were calling her that name in the dream.  Kind of a lame name for a band if you ask me.  Funny how dreams can create such elaborate and detailed phanerons.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;-- END MD5 ENCRYPTION --&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;MD5 Checksum: b161dfe20bb25d92b72f5078dca78bf2&lt;br /&gt;Encrypted online at: http://md5-hash-online.waraxe.us/&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Download Plain-text Version: https://docs.google.com/leaf?id=0B9w6moQJPZJuOWYyYTc0OGItMjE2NC00MDljLWIxMjAtYWExNmI0YTU4OGEy&amp;amp;hl=en&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/1818683220437348242-7314253007245628711?l=you-are-dreaming.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://you-are-dreaming.blogspot.com/feeds/7314253007245628711/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://you-are-dreaming.blogspot.com/2010/08/august-16th-2010-non-lucid-dreams.html#comment-form' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/1818683220437348242/posts/default/7314253007245628711'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/1818683220437348242/posts/default/7314253007245628711'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://you-are-dreaming.blogspot.com/2010/08/august-16th-2010-non-lucid-dreams.html' title='August 16th, 2010 - Non-lucid dreams.'/><author><name>Ian Wilson</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/09312115730377763162</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1818683220437348242.post-1565444788005400950</id><published>2010-08-15T17:57:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2010-08-15T18:21:03.417-07:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='dreams'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='symbolic'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='precongitive'/><title type='text'>Symbolic Precognitive Dream Revisited.</title><content type='html'>&lt;iframe src="http://www.facebook.com/plugins/like.php?href=http%3A%2F%2Fyou-are-dreaming.blogspot.com%2F2010%2F08%2Fsymbolic-precognitive-dream-revisited.html&amp;amp;layout=standard&amp;amp;show_faces=true&amp;amp;width=450&amp;amp;action=like&amp;amp;colorscheme=light&amp;amp;height=80" scrolling="no" frameborder="0" style="border:none; overflow:hidden; width:450px; height:80px;" allowTransparency="true"&gt;&lt;/iframe&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:180%;"&gt;"To eat it or not to eat it?

It turns out that again dream symbolism is now linking up with a real-world event where just last night, August 14th, 2010 I went to a dinner party with my Wife and kids.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;On the menu was an African worm called “&lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;Muduro&lt;/span&gt;” that as you can see in the photographs is quite disgusting to look at, for a person such as myself living in Canada who has never had to eat an insect in his entire life.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_oJnCf0OXCoE/TGiQBNQC6gI/AAAAAAAAACo/KsCuOlEXYUU/s1600/IMG_0928.JPG"&gt;&lt;img style="display: block; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 300px;" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_oJnCf0OXCoE/TGiQBNQC6gI/AAAAAAAAACo/KsCuOlEXYUU/s400/IMG_0928.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5505808894871661058" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Immediately when I saw this on my plate I thought of the dream I had where the symbolism started to make sense to this now future event within causality.  I snapped some pictures of the worm to link a real-world symbol to an abstract dream symbol helping to build the connection towards the lower-order symbolic precognitive dreams one can have.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:130%;"&gt;Here is the Dream Except:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;The plot of this dream involved me staying with&lt;span style="color: rgb(204, 0, 0); font-weight: bold;"&gt; a group of people who were like family&lt;/span&gt; &lt;span style="color: rgb(153, 0, 0); font-weight: bold;"&gt;sharing a large house&lt;/span&gt;. One of the obvious symbolic twists in the dream was we went shopping for groceries and bought a midget for dinner. &lt;span style="color: rgb(153, 0, 0); font-weight: bold;"&gt;An actual male midget &lt;/span&gt;who was kind of slow and uncertain why we were putting him in our shopping cart.&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(204, 0, 0); font-weight: bold;"&gt;I reasoned it was a cultural thing so I should not offend them by speaking up about it.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(51, 0, 153);"&gt;*In waking life:  On the 15th, we went to a Zimbabwe Dinner Party as my wife is from Zimbabwe.  It was a group family event, so all the community Zim's where there to share dinner.  It was a cultural dinner with cultural dishes.  That is very clearly listed in the dream.  It was a 5 bedroom house we all shared.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The “&lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;Moduro&lt;/span&gt;” or &lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;worm &lt;/span&gt;was brought in especially from &lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;Zimbabwe &lt;/span&gt;from one of the family members as a delicacy.  There is no place we know in the Okanagan Valley where you can buy this type of insect food period.  The chances of me ever eating it is rather slim, so this would be my first time to have insect offered to me for dinner.  I certainly didn't want to offend them by not eating it.  This is when I realized the dream and symbolism became very clear.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Now if you read the dream further, I am all bent out of shape over the symbolism and it just runs into the mouth of madness as dreams often do.  The context however, how I felt was this:  “&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;Oh my god&lt;/span&gt;, a &lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;disgusting &lt;/span&gt;worm is on my plate.  My wife wants me to eat it.  It looks like an &lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;oversized &lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;maggot&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt; &lt;/span&gt;[&lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;midget&lt;/span&gt;].  I am meeting 5 new Zimbabwean males for the first time.  They are all eagerly looking at me about to eat this &lt;span style="font-weight: bold; font-style: italic;"&gt;cultural food&lt;/span&gt;.  I look at them and &lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;feel love and compassion for their culture&lt;/span&gt; and I overcome my disgust in the idea of eating an insect realizing how a cultural difference is here and&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt; I don't want to offend them.&lt;/span&gt;  I eat both of the Worms and they are happy.  It was actually quite tasty.  This was one food that tasted far better then it looked.  I could happily eat another one in the future should this cultural exchange ever occur again.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I can't tell you how much the Zimbabwean families  love sharing their culture. Food is a very important means by which this is shared.  Obviously we all ate them, here is plate from my Nephew who likes them a lot more then me.  We had an amazing evening of food and fun.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_oJnCf0OXCoE/TGiPvk1qu8I/AAAAAAAAACg/PDEj0lV7wdU/s1600/IMG_0927.JPG"&gt;&lt;img style="display: block; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 300px;" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_oJnCf0OXCoE/TGiPvk1qu8I/AAAAAAAAACg/PDEj0lV7wdU/s400/IMG_0927.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5505808591965830082" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;There is no question in my mind knowing how &lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;symbolic precognition&lt;/span&gt; works in dreams with  the abstract and symbol ridden content which tapped into this future event and scrambled like a mystery egg, all in dream secret code and symbolism.  I am just glad I could take a picture and capture the essence of how I linked a very abstract dream to a future event.  Precognition is very intriguing to say the least.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Now if you read my Deconstructing a Symbolic Dream and have this reference, you will start to see the trend that I have observed in my 23 years of experiencing various types of precognition through dreaming.  My goal is to have literal precognitive dreams on the blog but clearly I am deep into the symbolism potentially because I just started getting back into targeting this type of potential through dreams.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Here is another low-order symbolic precognitive dream that links again to a world event where the symbolism matches some of the real-world symbols.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;In this case, on &lt;a href="http://you-are-dreaming.blogspot.com/2010/08/august-3rd-2010-lucid-dream.html"&gt;August 3rd, 2010&lt;/a&gt; I had  a dream with TMI Skip Atwater and a few other characters including a female where we where at a table and talking.  On August 5th I get a TMI Newsletter which describes a new female director of research.  Skip Atwater is mentioned a few times in the article and again this links to the August 3rd, 2010 dream symbolism.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Also the second dream where I speak with my new neighbor about Christianity happened a couple days later as well, with some near literal context in the conversation but still symbolic.  That was a double dose of symbolic precognition from the August 3rd Dream.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Here is my inbox snapshot with the date I received the e-mail.  August 5th, 2010 2 days later.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_oJnCf0OXCoE/TGiQ0MseWkI/AAAAAAAAACw/KpllT3RSK-g/s1600/tmiemail.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="display: block; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 17px;" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_oJnCf0OXCoE/TGiQ0MseWkI/AAAAAAAAACw/KpllT3RSK-g/s400/tmiemail.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5505809770895792706" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://campaign.constantcontact.com/render?v=001UhnojcJllMqI7_7LKHSuXm2Oy-vXKSZ8EGsMLXEkDYHtVv_RIJUpAvjGQv45n3LWLZIBZNm2V_DCTl8pd7zzURjGdikpS_GTnmKrvnPU7yY-G5-jKp340A%3D%3D"&gt;Here is the newsletter&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Another time-stamped example is on my IASD forum thread on dreams where I have a dream on January 9th, 2010 where I see a cataclysmic event that kills hundreds of thousands of people and two days later the Earthquake in Haiti happened on the 12th of January.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://dreamtalk.hypermart.net/bb2005/viewtopic.php?p=13465#13465"&gt;http://dreamtalk.hypermart.net/bb2005/viewtopic.php?p=13465#13465&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;From the Dream.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic; color: rgb(0, 0, 102);"&gt;I am remembering some &lt;span style="color: rgb(153, 0, 0); font-weight: bold;"&gt;cataclysmic event where hundreds of thousands of people have died&lt;/span&gt;. I feel powerless to stop it. There is also a great war that has me afraid, I look at my hands and the pores are sweating.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Over time, I hope to continue to provide more compelling evidence of this type and other types of precognition.  Hopefully more research and study can go into understanding this interesting phenomena.  My goal is to spend the rest of my life sharing and logging these events to help others like myself understand the mysterious phenomena of precognition.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I really recommend reading my other deconstructed precognitive dream and my article on precognitive dreams if you really don't believe me or understand this phenomena.  Over time perhaps more evidence can emerge and build your uncertainty past skepticism into open-minded curiosity.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Recommended Reading:  “&lt;a href="http://you-are-dreaming.blogspot.com/2010/08/deconstructing-symbolic-precognitive.html"&gt;Deconstructing a Symbolic Precognitive Dream&lt;/a&gt;”&lt;br /&gt;Recommended Reading:  “&lt;a href="http://you-are-dreaming.blogspot.com/2010/07/anatomy-of-precognitive-dream.html"&gt;Anatomy of a Precognitive Dream&lt;/a&gt;”&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Happy Dreaming!&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/1818683220437348242-1565444788005400950?l=you-are-dreaming.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://you-are-dreaming.blogspot.com/feeds/1565444788005400950/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://you-are-dreaming.blogspot.com/2010/08/symbolic-precognitive-dream-revisited.html#comment-form' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/1818683220437348242/posts/default/1565444788005400950'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/1818683220437348242/posts/default/1565444788005400950'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://you-are-dreaming.blogspot.com/2010/08/symbolic-precognitive-dream-revisited.html' title='Symbolic Precognitive Dream Revisited.'/><author><name>Ian Wilson</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/09312115730377763162</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_oJnCf0OXCoE/TGiNQtIsgzI/AAAAAAAAACY/q8mcEDwBY7U/s72-c/IMG_0926.JPG' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1818683220437348242.post-1813854316212043351</id><published>2010-08-15T10:08:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2010-08-15T10:48:49.255-07:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='dreams'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='theory'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='virtual'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='bimax'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='reality'/><title type='text'>August 15, 2010 - Non-Lucid Dreams.

Time for the baby to sleep in her own room.  Over 8 interrupted sleeps, it is amazing I remember anything at all.  Each interrupted sleep collapsed a dream, and being the weekend I am not aggressively attempting to log these dreams.  I also drank 2 beer last night so any alcohol seems to diminish and affect dream recall.  However, with a little amount it's not so bad.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:180%;"&gt;Dream 1:&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;This dream is like recovering a past life, it collapsed so fast when I was woken up suddenly.  I know that I dreamed, I knew I had lots of activity and coherent dialog and purpose.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;When the kid kicked my face, it's like watching a tunnel of memory collapse and fold on itself in a nano-second.  A very rapid purge of the dream that induces what I call waking induced amnesia.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I started to try to uncollapse the memory, had flashes of being at a research center, talking with psychologists.  We were discussing dream related cognition.  However, so much of the dialog is unrecoverable.  There was a female in her late 30's perhaps early 40's hard to guess at age here.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Suffice to say, we seemed to have a compelling conversation, I can't remember much other then again it's dream related.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:180%;"&gt;Dream 2:&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;This dream involved floor polishers, a convention and some interesting floor cleaning robots.  There were a few booths.  I was with this person who set down a box with a cool robotic floor cleaner.  He opened the box pulled the machine out, pulled it out of Styrofoam and plastic.  Started to set it up and was talking about it's features.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;He turns it on, it has a voice and a control panel screen.  He sets it up to do a perimeter check first.  Where the robot maps out the floor first in a trial-run then proceeds to clean the floor.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;There was a dog there that was excited when the robot came near it and we laughed.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Without clear coherent chronology, I end up in another part of the dream where I have left the convention and was driving.  I stopped just to observe the city skyline and it was absolutely breathtaking and beautiful.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;There was clouds in the sky and the city was light it with skyscrapers and everything was so real in appearance.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I go back to where this convention was, and I have a key to the door and unlock it and go in.  It's late at night now and there is no-one there.  There is just the show floor and one booth left.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;This older man probably 40-50 with a beard comes and greets me.  He tells me he is very honored to meet me and glad that we could connect after the conference.  I can't quite recall the jest of what he was saying to me, but it was along the lines of, "Thanks for publishing your book on dreams.  I found the information really interesting.  I have been considering the implications of a non-physical reality and think it's amazing that people can live in this second-life through sleep."&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;We start talking about the non-linear and non-localized way that consciousness can become self-realized in states that represent an experience of reality be it in waking reality or other.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I start discussing how it's largely focus states and phasing that allows the a shift in perception that enables alternative datastreams to engage our perception interface and render a coherent experience within the BIMAX (Tony Peaks expansion on the Cartesian Theatre).&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Again, this is really interpreting the jest of what we talked about, I know it was very similar to this in context but there might be some misrepresentation here of what was actually said due to the difficulty of remembering.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"What people may not appreciate is the fact that incoherent data in the form of dream mimic similar incoherent data in waking reality where by we must interpret the data, convert the data into a coherent programing language that is then processed by the brain and the end result of this translation is projected onto the BIMAX for the purpose of having a cognitively rendered phaneron of the data." I speak.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;He brings up Tom Campbells, "My-Big-Toe" and how he found that very fascinating and what the implications are if there really are digital components to the nature of reality and that everything is founded on virtual reality theory.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I tell him that this is very evident with dreaming, that we have a prime example where by an external source, the brain is producing the mechanics required to produce a virtual reality simulator that can be programmed by thought and projected into a final product within the BIMAX.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"This is a virtual reality in all sense of the word when you look at dreaming.  I cite Brian Whitworth in the conversation saying that much of his publications of VR theory can be directly applied to dreaming.  The recursive feedback interface is essential to how dreams are self-fulfilling virtual reality concepts.", I say.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;We have a very long engaging discussion on these topics and there is more I cannot remember however ironically I don't realize I am actually in a dream, talking about a dream and applying this to current virtual reality theory suffice to say on waking it really is intriguing to have such a relevant and coherent discussion that draws from this theoretical science and applies it to a real-life example of the mechanics of virtual realty at work.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I'm such a dream geek.  There is more that I just can't remember but that is what happens when you get interrupted by the baby.  I still love her but both the wife and I agree she's getting evicted.  Not that she doesn't have a stellar nursery to go to, it's all pimped out.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/1818683220437348242-1813854316212043351?l=you-are-dreaming.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://you-are-dreaming.blogspot.com/feeds/1813854316212043351/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://you-are-dreaming.blogspot.com/2010/08/august-15-2010-non-lucid-dreams-virtual.html#comment-form' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/1818683220437348242/posts/default/1813854316212043351'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/1818683220437348242/posts/default/1813854316212043351'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://you-are-dreaming.blogspot.com/2010/08/august-15-2010-non-lucid-dreams-virtual.html' title='August 15, 2010 - Non-Lucid Dreams.

I managed to dream the following, but in a non-lucid state.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;In this dream, I am sitting outside in a park playing with a hypercube. There is a lady there and she is telling me how to use it. The cube is like a very intricate clock as it moves on it's own and seems to have features similar to a rubic cube and a tesseract. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;She describes the cube as being fourth-dimensional space/time enfolding on itself in the form of information and data. She tells me that I have to find an entry point into this data to make sense of the information. To do this she says I need a means by which I can interface and render the context into a way that is coherent to my subjective time/space vector within this all encompassing database. She describes everything here exists in every permutation of time and probability. Think of it as a many-world interpretation of a choose your own adventure book. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I focus on a pin-point on the enfolding cube and suddenly I feel myself move into a tunnel vision view of information. Rather then normal waking perception where the view is more 180 flat screen, this tunnel is a near perfect circle with 3D rendered virtual environment.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;How I am interpreting the dream is interesting and the lady is now a voice rather then a character attempting to explain this new process.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"You are now rendering based on perception your world-view of this information. How you direct your intent and choices within this limited decision space determines how the outcome of the adventure actualizes and becomes real, the rest of the data exists as probability only." &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I look at the tunnel and it forks into many decision paths and I can see many probabilities as she described but my interest is in making only one choice and traversing down one tunnel. The model of probability collapses and I am back to a coherent linear flow of information.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I get pulled outside the tunnel and she is engaging me again. "You have now serialized the data into an actual experience. You have a subjective interpretation of what that data represented that is now rendered into your memories based on your perception. This in turn creates your actualized reality which is the outcome of choice made within this hypercube."&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I see the tunnel based on my perception and it is now stretched out representing time and the time I was in the cube actualizing choices from probability. I can also see in a translucent state all the probability choices enfolding around the tunnel. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I look at the beginning and the end of the tunnel and it looks like spaggetti, the twists and turns merely representing choices affecting probability.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"Reality is more probable then actual, and it is through your free-will conscious intent that determines how probability collapses into actual experience. What was actually your reality was the result of choices", she explains.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;She suggests that in waking reality we are also interfacing with data and probability where-by our observation and choices creates the difference between probability and actuality. Two totally different states of the same data but only one strand that represents what actually occurred opposed to what could have occurred had choices been different.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"You affect causality with choice. This in turn affects the outcome. It is individual choices that affect how your life can be lived. You can have probable lives where you have died in a car accident, experienced nuclear war or lived happily ever after. None-of-this would be apparent to you because all you knew was what actualized as a result of your choices as you collapsed probability into actuality." she explains.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I think about everything she is suggesting, and I find myself sitting back in the park holding this hypercube and watch it enfolding on itself like a rubic cube.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"Huh?", I think. "That means our thoughts and choices are collapsing what is probable into what is actual at that time we interact with the data. We are effectively creating a low-order reality outcome based on these choices."&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;For example, the choice to say something nice to a person could affect your entire future friendship with them. You choice not to could cause the friendship to fade. All of this deterministic probability exists at the time of that one choice.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;What it doesn't do is guarantee a wining lottery because you can only act on what sensible choices are available in terms of turning left or right. However in doing so, suddenly turning left on a street instead of right can have a seemingly butterfly-effect on what actualizes for your completed journey with the hypercube. I think about all these strange ideas and it seems to make sense. Choices affect causality... of course they do. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;*Now keep in mind during recall of this, I have to translate every nuance of the experience into my native language of English and I hope that I have a verbal metaphor to describe the actual event in the dream. There can be lost-in-translation details and close-to but not quite what she said interpretation. This is memory and language limits only. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;new dream&lt;br /&gt;This dream is proving hard to recall, I know I am with some people I recognize and we are working together. It is not as coherent as the hypercube dream, it seems I was more interested in what the hypercube dream was describing to me that the second dream was less interesting.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I know there is a point where I have to go to the bathroom in the dream, the female wants to also have food and we encounter some problems making up our mind as to what we want.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;What is funny, is this is actually a very long dream and there is a lot of events that seem to be there. I can get the sense-of-time as being quite long. I have these fragments of memory now like flash-back moments but the coherent flow of the dream is uncertain.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;It was very mundane to say the least so I'll leave it at that.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Just wanted to note, in the hypercube dream she also was showing me how other people's choices are also affecting my decision space hence why their choice to launch nuclear bombs exist as probability so the outcome of that choice results in a probable death by nuclear fire. Reading the dream I realize I left out other people's affect on causality and my reality when they also make similar choices affecting cause and effect.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;What is suggested is that all probability has been predetermined not saying that is at all what occurs in waking reality but the dream was interesting to say the least.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/1818683220437348242-7752141946808216297?l=you-are-dreaming.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://you-are-dreaming.blogspot.com/feeds/7752141946808216297/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://you-are-dreaming.blogspot.com/2010/08/august-14th-2007-hypercube-dream.html#comment-form' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/1818683220437348242/posts/default/7752141946808216297'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/1818683220437348242/posts/default/7752141946808216297'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://you-are-dreaming.blogspot.com/2010/08/august-14th-2007-hypercube-dream.html' title='August 14th, 2007 HyperCube Dream.'/><author><name>Ian Wilson</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/09312115730377763162</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1818683220437348242.post-859899712224008649</id><published>2010-08-13T09:15:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2010-08-13T09:22:01.559-07:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='dreaming'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='jim carrey'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='time'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='lucid'/><title type='text'>August 13th 2010 - Semi-lucid dream.</title><content type='html'>&lt;iframe src="http://www.facebook.com/plugins/like.php?href=http%3A%2F%2Fyou-are-dreaming.blogspot.com%2F2010%2F08%2Faugust-13th-2010-semi-lucid-dream.html&amp;amp;layout=standard&amp;amp;show_faces=true&amp;amp;width=450&amp;amp;action=like&amp;amp;colorscheme=light&amp;amp;height=80" scrolling="no" frameborder="0" style="border:none; overflow:hidden; width:450px; height:80px;" allowTransparency="true"&gt;&lt;/iframe&gt;&lt;br /&gt;This dream had a long sense of time for such a short nap ~1h of sleep = ~7h of dream time.  I have had a couple nights of no sleep because I am back working and will be very busy focusing on projects so if I have a dream, I will record and blog but not much more after that.  If you are new to the Blog, you will want to read a few articles to orientate you with my material.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: large;"&gt;Articles:&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://you-are-dreaming.blogspot.com/2010/07/lucid-dreaming-techniques.html"&gt;Lucid Dreaming Techniques&lt;/a&gt; | &lt;a href="http://you-are-dreaming.blogspot.com/2010/07/president-for-association-for-study-of.html"&gt;LDE 55 Interview&lt;/a&gt; | &lt;a href="http://you-are-dreaming.blogspot.com/2010/07/dreaming-century-of-time-during-one.html"&gt;Time in Dreams&lt;/a&gt; | &lt;a href="http://you-are-dreaming.blogspot.com/2010/07/shared-dreaming-real-life-inception.html"&gt;Shared Dreaming&lt;/a&gt; | &lt;a href="http://you-are-dreaming.blogspot.com/2010/07/anatomy-of-precognitive-dream.html"&gt;Precognitive Dreaming&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;August 13, 2010&lt;br /&gt;Another night of restless sleep but did manage to have one dream that made up for all the lost time.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;This was another very long dream, when I woke up I felt like I had been sleeping for hours and hours.  I was worried that I had slept in but in fact I was probably only asleep for 35-40 minutes.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The dream started off lucid, as I turned the hypnogogic imagery into a nice sports car using a simple technique of integrating the three main senses, sight, sound and touch to facilitate the transition from being a rough ride of hypnogigia to a pleasant drive in a wicked sports car.  As I was falling asleep and thinking about the car, the car slowly started to form.  The more I organized the visual, audible and tactile thoughts, I could then touch the steering wheel and turn it.  See through the windshield and see a road, trees and a blue sky.  I could hear my hand tap the steering wheel.  It became fully tactile and active and so I turned the car on, but when I hit the gas, it felt like I stretched my head in a very cartoony way for almost 100 feet, as if a part of my linear-logic was still focused in the small grey matter area of my brain not allowing itself to come along and the stretch pulled us apart and I was now passively dreaming, unaware I was in a dream.  Damn!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The plot of this dream involved me staying with a group of people who were like family sharing a large house.  One of the obvious symbolic twists in the dream was we went shopping for groceries and bought a midget for dinner.  An actual male midget who was kind of slow and uncertain why we were putting him in our shopping cart. I reasoned it was a cultural thing so I should not offend them by speaking up about it.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The family I was with were talking about how great he was going to be for dinner and as I was obviously not fully lucid, the critical thinking needed to trigger a reality-check had yet surfaced.  It was however starting the chain of inquisition that would lead to lucid moments in the dream.  We drove home and I put the midget in a crib and was still uncertain as to why the heck anyone would want to eat a midget.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I went for a walk with the family and we walked by a park and were just idly chit-chatting.  We stopped at a playground and their kids played.  I sat on the grass.  We finished after a while and walked back to the house.  Now it was getting time for dinner and this was building up a lot of anxiety for me about eating their strange dish.  They asked me to clean the midget, so I gave him a shower and this is where lucidity started to save me from what could potentially have been a really disturbing dream had I not intervened with logic and reason.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I look at this poor guy, he has all the signs of dwarfism with slightly malformed hands and a tiny body.  "Why are you guys keeping me here?  Are you kidnappers?", he asks me.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I look at him and think, "There is no friggen way I am going to eat a person.  There is no friggen way these people are going to eat this person!".  I feel a huge wave of compassion and love surface in turn I decided to put an end to this madness.  "It's worse then kidnapping, these people want to eat you, but I am not going to let them.", I tell him.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I get him dressed and pick him up and carry him over to the people, "This guy is an orphan, he needs a family.  Will you adopt him?" I ask.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;They look at me and are then moved by the fact he's an orphan and start talking about adoption.  He is all happy that he is going to have a family and the dream has a happy ending.  Especially for me, I didn't get to eat midget.  Yuck.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;We went to a computer later on after we made a midget-free dinner and everyone ate.  I am now friends with this guy and he really likes me.  On the computer screen I am finding out that "Jim Carrey" is very interested in my dream research.  The article I am reading describes him as being fascinated and intrigued by lucid dreaming.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;On the blog there are user comments and some where posting pictures of geometrical platonic solids and other geometric 2D patterns.  There was a really nice drawing of a video-game warrior in armor, very detailed and professionally drawn.  The comments were all very interesting and were talking all sorts of theory related to how dreams use geometric matrices to create a digital mind-generated reality.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Then I start realizing I must also be dreaming, uncertain the dream shifts along with my new introduction of logic and I am now with Jim Carrey and we are talking about dreams.  I am becoming more lucid and he looks aged, not as young as he is in his movies.  He shakes my hand and is very genuine about how amazed he is by dreams and what I have written.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"This is really amazing that you can dream like that.  It's like having your own movie set, film-crew and production team, the whole time you are writing the script, directing the action and living as the star.", he is very impressed.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Now I am lucid and looking at him, I look around at the dream and decide to just go with the flow, "It is nature's Hollywood.  One of the most amazing virtual reality simulators known to man." I tell him.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;He starts asking me about lucid precognitive dreaming and I tell him, "It's a very similar state to any other dream you might have, except the lucid quality and the precognitive quality may not be apparent during the dream, however is relevant when the dream actualizes."&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"So you can be awake in a dream, know you are dreaming and then the dream can come true?", he asks.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"Yes, it is exactly like that.  However there is really no way to know if it can come true until it does come true which is why the paradox of precognition is so anomalous and random.", I explain.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;He tells me that he has had dreams come true, and that is why my work fascinates him.  I tell him many people claim to have had dreams come true and it really introduces a wedge in how we view causality.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I don't get much more time to chat about dreams, while in a lucid dream with a dream character in the form of Jim Carrey, and I wake up.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;This is when I panic that I slept in... only an hour had passed.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Time-To-Bed: 6:12am&lt;br /&gt;Time-Awake: 7:30am&lt;br /&gt;Time-To-Sleep: ~20m&lt;br /&gt;Total Time Slept: ~58m&lt;br /&gt;Total Estimated time: 1 waking day ~7hrs.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/1818683220437348242-859899712224008649?l=you-are-dreaming.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://you-are-dreaming.blogspot.com/feeds/859899712224008649/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://you-are-dreaming.blogspot.com/2010/08/august-13th-2010-semi-lucid-dream.html#comment-form' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/1818683220437348242/posts/default/859899712224008649'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/1818683220437348242/posts/default/859899712224008649'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://you-are-dreaming.blogspot.com/2010/08/august-13th-2010-semi-lucid-dream.html' title='August 13th 2010 - Semi-lucid dream.'/><author><name>Ian Wilson</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/09312115730377763162</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1818683220437348242.post-5411178476881405370</id><published>2010-08-10T10:46:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2010-08-13T05:23:00.017-07:00</updated><title type='text'>August 8th and August 10th Dreams.

Here are two recent dreams.  Some interesting insights in the last dream in this sequence.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:180%;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;August 08, 2010&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Time-To-Bed: 2:20am&lt;br /&gt;Time-Awake: 3:15am&lt;br /&gt;Estimated Time 7hr&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Had another time dilated dream, was rudely woken up as usual but trying to get as much down before it fades.  Not sure how many days at least two I can remember and lots of work.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Dreamed that I am working in a new office.  The company is very happy to have me there but as usual, having such a broad range of skills means a lot of overwhealming tasks outside my usual reasonable ability to commit to deadlines.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The company has me doing both graphical design, programming and IT work.  I just fit so many niche spots well that they don't know what to have me to do.  There are several people working there, a nice mix of male and female employees.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I am really hustling to get projects done.  The company is also very nice, buying me food and lunches.&lt;br /&gt;The problem is they buy lots of unhealthy food.   They like to go out for coffee as a group and we were standing on a street corner.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I goof around and start to dance, I am wearing a blue sports suite with tie.  It's pretty funny how I am dancing, and they laugh at me.  I just do a few funny moves.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Two older female prostitutes walk through an alley way and they nearly start fighting with each other.  I yell “Fight, Fight, Fight” and the group of us run around.  This startles them and they don't fight.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I tell them, “Be kind to each other, take care loves.” and they seem to like that better then the fight.  There are a couple of african guys who work with us, they are very athletic and seem fond of me.  Kind of have a whole nickname thing going on.  Not sure what it is woken up so abruptly maybe it will pop back.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;There are really some genuine hours of work and lunches here, meetings with the boss going over tasks and projects.  Even project meetings, driving on the street back and forth to work.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;At the end of our day, everyone leaves but I have to work late... too much work to do in a normal work shift as usual.  The african guys want me to come to a gym with them but I can't.  Work is in the way.  They drive off in a white pick-up truck.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;My wife comes to my office to check on me.  She is unhappy that my job is trying to appease me by buying all this fast food.  She gives me a lecture on how fattening it is and how I'm back working late hours and doesn't understand why I can't get a job that is normal like everyone else.  I try to explain that my line of work has too much work for just the usual work hours and requires such specialized skills sometimes that a person like me tends to have to work late to make deadlines.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;She doesn't care.  I don't really know what to say or do because I need the job and need to keep them happy.  She makes me throw away Styrofoam containers of Chinese food and a take-out cup of pop.  She looks in the garbage at all the junk food and gets mad.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;It seems all she does it get angry about everything, I wonder if she'll ever just relax and go with the flow and not be so bent out of shape over circumstances she cannot control.  I shrug it off and we go outside.  A lady asks us for directions to get to Naramata and I give her directions.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I literally travel there fast-forward as I explain to make sure I don't miss a turn.  It's here that I get woken up by a loud in my face kid yelling my name.  Late night cup of milk for the win.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Anyways, much of the dream is collapsed due to waking up suddenly however I was able to retrieve a good portion of it and hastily jotted what I could down.  There is a lot more, but this is the best I can get due to circumstances and there is no doubt in my mind now that although the dream spanned a couple of days, there is genuine hours of time that seems to be here in the experiences and memories that I have woken up with in such a short nap.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:180%;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;August 10th, 2010&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:130%;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Dream 1&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;At restaurant with wife and kids inside a mall.  The waiter brings us gummy food for dessert.  Arianna is there but she is older then in waking life, she has nice hair and she is talking more coherently.  We are going to go watch a movie, it is a kids show.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;We settle down in our seats and I get up to go get the kids some popcorn and candy from the concession.  However walking back the dream extends into a much larger and more confused state because I forget about the movie with the kids and am now walking to a section of the mall where there is a battle of the bands going on.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;All of these bands are setup in sections on the floor all rocking out.  One band plays some amazing metal music, I've never heard the music in waking life but real or not, the music was loud, thundering guitar and drums and completely awesome to listen to.  When the band stops the song I scream out, “That was awesome!” and I hear them cheer.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I wake up but drift back into sleep.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:130%;"&gt;Dream 2&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;Have a waking dream, meaning I am fully awake but think I am actually awake but not realized that I am dreaming.  I sit up and go on my computer, I have a bad case of gas and think the wife won't notice because she's sleeping.  I let it rip, now normally I don't fart in my dreams so this in itself is slightly embarrassing to talk about but funny because it just goes on and on.  I am in disbelief that I can be farting as long as I had been, then I look at the bed and see my body lying there and I laugh.  I'm breaking world records for breaking wind and now realize that I am in a waking dream.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I have to wake up because I do have gas in waking reality and so I excuse myself to deal with it... which in turn was a small toot in comparison to the mighty trumpet it caused in my dream..&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:130%;"&gt;Dream 3&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Fall right into a lucid dream from sleep and it is most excellent.  In the dream I find myself in an alley way in downtown Kelowna behind Bernard Street.  I realize I am near the Town Center Mall in the back alley and as I am walking just getting my orientation I don't realize that I am no inside the mall until I look around and see that I am there.  It seems that I just segued from the alley to the mall and at first I am creeped out by this transition as it is all unnatural.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Then I realize of course it is, I am dreaming!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I look at the mall and see all of the same waking life details except it's not open yet and everything is closed.  I am thrilled at how detailed the dream is.  I lift my hand up and look at it, it looks very real short of all the seeming strands of energy emanating from around it.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;That said, it has the correct skin tone, hair follicle, veins and texture of my waking hand.  I look upward at the ceiling and wonder why all the realism and physical symbolism then.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;“It is to keep everything within the context of your human experience”, a thought emanates.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;That makes sense, if it was outside my current reality framework the experience might be rejected.  I cause the dream to fluctuate slightly and become less real and more holographic.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I speak out, “Is there any intelligence outside myself that is here?”&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I wait for a reply and there is none.  I feel like the dream itself entraps me into a focus state and entrances my awareness to limit me.  It seems like a lot of work is going on to keep context and I am not sure if that is important.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The dream becomes even more holographic and translucent and the void is now visible.  “Look, I know you are here, I can feel you.  We can talk if you like.”, I speak out at the void.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I get the impression that the time for chit-chat is really over instead I am left on my own.  I get that impression like I have all I need to know to continue on without guidance, but under observation.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I lower my hand and start to feel myself wake up.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Wake up due to outside noise.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:130%;"&gt;Dream 4&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;This dream involves a BBQ and my Mother.  For some reason the BBQ is all burned up and my Mom is upset because she really liked that BBQ and now it's gone.  She's crying and I show her she has 3 other BBQ's but she doesn't care because they can't replace her destroyed BBQ.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;*waking life note: What concerns me in waking life is the symbolism is the BBQ could be symbolic of one of her pets as she has 2 dogs and 2 cats.  Hopefully not but that is suggestive in the symbolism and would make more sense in real-life if it was a pet.  Dream symbology is a tough beast to crack and make sense of.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I walk in garden get string, start unraveling string turns into wheat stalk there is a spider with the nick name, “Tea cup” and apparently it's deadly so I panic and throw it on the ground and step over it.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Walk to a separate shed room for house go in and work on my book.  Am writing a book on dreams.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;A person comes in, has two heads and one is female the other is male.  Trips my knowing it's a dream.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I talk with the person that they are looking for me to chat.  He tries to tell me that I told him it was a dream the last time we spoke with the doctor before I took my medicine.  I know exactly what he is trying to do with mind game play.&lt;br /&gt;I grab his arm and just anchor myself into the dream and become fully realized.  I just stare at him in dead-pan and allow the knowing of myself to flow.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Suddenly his mind-game is replaced with just awe and I start to deconstruct the person into a spiritual energy matrix then back again.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;He runs off and I look at what I was writing on the computer with great curiosity.  I see it's about dreams and I scroll through some passages.  The context is interesting but not what I would write about if I was conscious, it was to incoherent and lacks the razors edge I want.  I am happy to read the text none-the-less knowing it was a dream.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Garbage truck outside waking me up, I see hypnopompic imagery and fight to stay in the dream and not wake up, but I can feel my physical body and interfaced with my physical eyes.  I send signals back to my body to just ignore the external noise and sleep, it seems to work and the now two-dimensional hypnopompic imagery expands into a full 3D world.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:130%;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Dream 5&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I am now in a lecture, and I am talking about dreaming.  I have a class full of very curious students not all of them open minded.  I am fully conscious and realize that instantly that I am in the dream.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;“Welcome to my internal course on Dreaming everyone, I am you friend and teacher Ian Wilson.  Today we will be discussing dreams as they relate to organized thoughts.”, I explain.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Everyone is middle aged or older, definitely 30+ and sitting in chairs as if in a casual lecture hall.  “It's great to see so many people here in this dream, which begs the question how many of you know this is a dream, please raise your hand.”, I ask.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;They look at me, and at each other slightly confused.  There is a man with a thin beard and curly hair, he is thin and looks at me excitedly and raises his hand.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I hear someone ask, “How can this be a dream?” and their questioning is gaining support of others coming to that same assumption.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I focus on the one person with the hand held up, “Good, can you tell me why you think this is a dream?”&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;“I don't know, but it really makes sense that this is a dream.  I don't remember how I got here and I am pretty sure I was just in my bed.”, he replies.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;“Very good answer, and you are in a dream.  Which then begs the question, 'Are we all mutually here or is this simply my dream and you are all fictional characters within it?'”, I ask.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;They all look at each other and I hear the chatter of many voices.  “How is this your dream?”, a person asks.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;“Why do you ask?  Are you dreaming it?”, I answer back.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;“I'm not sure, I think so.”, he replies (not the same person).&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;“How many of you think this is your dream, and you are dreaming it?”, I ask the class.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;This time all the hands go up and I applaud.  “Excellent, so we all agree we each are dreaming this dream which in turn our beliefs demand that this must be subjective and exclusive to each other.  Yet if you are dreaming it, and I am dreaming it, where then does such a subjective dream become mutual?”, I ask.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Everyone is getting excited and interested in what I am saying.  People start to stand up and really look around with sincere interest at the dreamworld.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;“How do you know all of this?”, one of them asks me.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;“This is why you are attending my class.  You want to know this too.”, I tell them.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;“Everyone, I want to assure you that this is a dream.  I know it appears very real and many of you are not awake or conscious enough to fully appreciate the implication of being here.  This is what makes dreaming so exciting, is the unknowing we have and the fact we must wake up and return to another focus state and different local.”, I explain.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;“We may not know if this is mutual or not, there is uncertainty that exists right now because I can clearly see right now that all of you are unknown to me in my waking life, however that doesn't excuse me from knowing that objectivity exists here and we could all be unknowing participants in a mutual and objective experience.”, I continue.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;“What is most important is we are all indeed here and dreaming together, if it is mutual or not becomes less important to the basic fundamental source of the experience being a dream not a physical reality”, I explain.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I walk looking at the students knowing I am dreaming, totally thrilled that I am teaching a course on dreams within a dream with uncertainty that it could be mutual and all of this thrills my curiosity enough not to change the dream knowing in a whim I could summon sexy women, space invaders... however exciting that might be, I know this is what I really want to experience.  I continue with the flow and engage the dream fully as if everyone is there with me mutually.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;“Dreams are organized thoughts.  However we deconstruct this reality into it's finite states, thought is at the core of the fabric that describes what this reality comes from.  What we need to understand is thought also forms a type of language which in turn we are using to communicate to each other; but not in our verbal exchange.  This is all very metaphorical now to the bigger truth that this is a non-verbal language and we are communicating in a more evolved and symbolic medium that takes on the form of the dream reality itself.”, I continue.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;“How does thought form a dream?”, someone asks.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;“The same way it forms an inner sound when you think of a word and the same way that it forms an image when you imagine something visually.  As you can see by this dream, we are all sharing a non-verbal construct giving us the context of reality but the fabric of all the ideas forming this dream reality stem from organized thought.  What is more interesting to me is how we are all entangled so that mutuality in our thinking occurs.”, I explain.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;What I am suggesting here is an answer to how subjective dreamers mutually dream when unknowing to them a type of entanglement comes when we mutually dream allowing for the objectivity to occur so that the context and local of the dream is the product of entanglement on a smaller scale then waking reality.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;“I want everyone to just walk outside and observe the dream, take time to try to become awake and conscious that you are dreaming.  Try to think and really analyze your perception of this reality in the context of it being a dream.”, I tell them.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;In the street there are other people not part of the class, not so open minded as my students.  “The next hard question is, how does something organized by thought in the form of a dream later actualize into waking reality?” I ask the class.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Now we have new strangers and new interest as I am clearly talking loud and making my thoughts known to all who may be entangled in mutuality.  Imagine in waking reality you are sitting watching this guy come out of a building as you are sitting at a table drinking your coffee and suddenly he is telling you and everyone around you that you are in a dream.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The look on everyone's faces as they looked at me is probably how you would look at me in waking life... like I am completely insane.  That said, this is a lucid dream and I am quite eager to continue the flow as both the intellectual and philosophical concepts presented in real run-time dreaming is stimulating me in some geeky dream way.  Hard to explain but then... welcome to my rabbit hole.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;At any rate, the students are not sure of the answer.  I ask the question to everyone, “How does something we dream, that is clearly organized thought later actualize into something we experience in waking reality?  Anyone?”, I ask.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;This old professor type looks at me and beacons me to come with him.  We walk into a true lecture hall in some University (obviously a quick dream local shift happens and like my earlier one, I am wowed and totally hip with how cool that was).&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;He lies his head on a wooden rail that sits as a fence to the class room.  There is a large chalkboard and it is blank but has obvious signs of use and chalk smears on it.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;At first I am thinking he is praying and I want him to answer the question, I am still very lucid and feel what a great chance to dig for this kind of in-dream answers, perhaps maybe I can steal it from the collective unconscious.  “Look, this is a dream and I want you to focus on this question, why can something that we dream later actualize into our waking reality?”, I ask again.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;He rolls his eyes in my direction and lifts his head up.  I get a good look at him.  He has white hair, no facial beard, he is shorter then me so probably 5' 8” or less.  Wearing a brown suit and clearly the professor type.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;“You are really left-brain centric right now.  I can see all that intellect and logic in you.  The answer you seek is very complex, maybe you should ask someone who can give you a more basic answer.”, he tells me.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I look at him and laugh, “Don't be so presumptuous, just because I am using English as my second-language (implying that non-verbal communication is my first) doesn't mean I am not able to grasp at your big theories and ideas.  I have seen the birth and deaths of entire Universes.  What have you seen?”.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;His eyes open up with awe and he steps back.  The look on his face says it all, “Who the hell are you.”&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;“Look, I am just messin' with you, the fact you even tried to answer the question and considered it is very remarkable.  The answer is self-evident and I already know.  It is because waking reality itself is a type of dream, but on a much larger scale factor then what we entertain in this moment right now.”&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I pat him on the back and shake his hand.  “You can relax now, it's not a big deal.  Don't read into it too much.”&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;“You... you are right!”, he says.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;“I know, much of what we explore in our subjective dreams entertain a much smaller scale then what has been organized into what we experience in our waking life.  Certainly the local is different but what really should impress our minds is the magnitude and scale.”, I tell him.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;What theory is emerging is our dreams form a “holographic data model” that is influenced largely by entanglement (to give chronological context and order to time/space), that thoughts replace photons and electrons as the reality draft in the form of probability.  The initial local of the dream (the stage) is uploaded to the dreamer through entanglement, just like the mutual dream discussion.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;In waking reality, the entanglement caused within the dream creating this holographic model goes through actualization meaning it simply progresses up the holographic chain until time/space   synchronize with the content of the dream packet.  The rest is wave-function collapse of the organized thought data packet, into the appearance of photons, electrons and atoms.  It is a brilliant use of thought-wave form to create and organize the photons, electrons and quantum states that will collapse when observed in waking reality.  It becomes so clear, so obvious that the underlying order of all reality is again thought and entanglement.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;At least... that is what it suggests to me in the dream.  On waking I am not as sure but the ideas are so compelling and interesting I have to write them down.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;If this is at all true, one has to consider scale and the process of unfolding a holographic data packet into an actualization; how it is all organized is through entanglement (that everything knows what state to be in when we are engaging that time/space local subjectively in the dream).&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Not sure if it's a wow moment for me but what a great night of lucid dreaming.  I had a blast.  Here is another interesting catch phrase that I catch myself saying either in extreme cases of waking life intoxication or in some dreams, “I have seen the death and birth of entire Universes”.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Clearly when I wake up or sober up I have not, but some part of me seems to suggest that I or it has.  Perhaps Tony's theory of the Daemon?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;At any right, this dream had some interesting insights into mutual dream reality, precognitive dream theory and I felt it would be a crime to not write it down if there is any ounce of truism to any of it.  Not the best formula for science but we are talking precognitive dreams and shared dreaming here.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/1818683220437348242-5411178476881405370?l=you-are-dreaming.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://you-are-dreaming.blogspot.com/feeds/5411178476881405370/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://you-are-dreaming.blogspot.com/2010/08/august-8th-and-august-10th-dreams-some.html#comment-form' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/1818683220437348242/posts/default/5411178476881405370'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/1818683220437348242/posts/default/5411178476881405370'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://you-are-dreaming.blogspot.com/2010/08/august-8th-and-august-10th-dreams-some.html' title='August 8th and August 10th Dreams.

Now I admit this won't be compelling until I deconstruct the images and the hand further to help you zoom into the details; however seeing it in the video will become more relevant.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;object width="320" height="266" class="BLOG_video_class" id="BLOG_video-8fb42205c464a62d" classid="clsid:D27CDB6E-AE6D-11cf-96B8-444553540000" codebase="http://download.macromedia.com/pub/shockwave/cabs/flash/swflash.cab#version=6,0,40,0"&gt;&lt;param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/get_player"&gt;&lt;param name="bgcolor" value="#FFFFFF"&gt;&lt;param name="allowfullscreen" value="true"&gt;&lt;param name="flashvars" value="flvurl=http://v15.nonxt2.googlevideo.com/videoplayback?id%3D8fb42205c464a62d%26itag%3D5%26app%3Dblogger%26ip%3D0.0.0.0%26ipbits%3D0%26expire%3D1331544249%26sparams%3Did,itag,ip,ipbits,expire%26signature%3D48330C8C5806390C736F7A41935B465BD0BFCCF0.594E67730901D74A580E8BFD5EB2478D24135A1E%26key%3Dck1&amp;amp;iurl=http://video.google.com/ThumbnailServer2?app%3Dblogger%26contentid%3D8fb42205c464a62d%26offsetms%3D5000%26itag%3Dw160%26sigh%3D1wHJIWh8iK8e3puMW39q8HwDhOI&amp;amp;autoplay=0&amp;amp;ps=blogger"&gt;&lt;embed src="http://www.youtube.com/get_player" type="application/x-shockwave-flash"width="320" height="266" bgcolor="#FFFFFF"flashvars="flvurl=http://v15.nonxt2.googlevideo.com/videoplayback?id%3D8fb42205c464a62d%26itag%3D5%26app%3Dblogger%26ip%3D0.0.0.0%26ipbits%3D0%26expire%3D1331544249%26sparams%3Did,itag,ip,ipbits,expire%26signature%3D48330C8C5806390C736F7A41935B465BD0BFCCF0.594E67730901D74A580E8BFD5EB2478D24135A1E%26key%3Dck1&amp;iurl=http://video.google.com/ThumbnailServer2?app%3Dblogger%26contentid%3D8fb42205c464a62d%26offsetms%3D5000%26itag%3Dw160%26sigh%3D1wHJIWh8iK8e3puMW39q8HwDhOI&amp;autoplay=0&amp;ps=blogger"allowFullScreen="true" /&gt;&lt;/object&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;These images are over 12 years old when in a lucid dream, I caused a triangle to appear on the forehead of the person in the photographs. What makes this compelling is the fact that the dream actualized and came true in the same manner that precognitive dreams spontaneously come true.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The nature of Precognition is greatly misunderstood however this blog has been dedicated to helping unravel the mystery with what little evidence to help suggest more research and sincere investigation into the relationship between dreams and waking reality is indeed needed.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I will now simply post raw images I took today, August 9, 2010 to show I can reproduce the evidence from the images and my hand at will to simply eliminate the obvious claims that this is all photoshop. Now skeptics can move to more interesting arguments such as the triangle was already there, or there was no controls etc.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Here are the Raw Photographs from this video without markup or mapping so bear with me as we need to further deconstruct the evidence.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;p&gt; &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;This is a closer shot of the two photographs.  A bit blurred the images still show the redness of the triangle unaltered or enhanced with a raw photograph.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_oJnCf0OXCoE/TGBTXMBux-I/AAAAAAAAABQ/VBLh6AejzX8/s1600/IMG_0916.JPG"&gt;&lt;img style="text-align: center; margin: 0px auto 10px; width: 400px; display: block; height: 300px;" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5503490402477328354" alt="" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_oJnCf0OXCoE/TGBTXMBux-I/AAAAAAAAABQ/VBLh6AejzX8/s400/IMG_0916.JPG" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;p&gt; &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;I zoomed my iPhone closer to the one image and the red triangle clearly shows albiet a bit blurry from the lack of focus control.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_oJnCf0OXCoE/TGBTk229OmI/AAAAAAAAABY/fMpr0PLgSqg/s1600/IMG_0917.JPG"&gt;&lt;img style="text-align: center; margin: 0px auto 10px; width: 400px; display: block; height: 300px;" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5503490637313161826" alt="" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_oJnCf0OXCoE/TGBTk229OmI/AAAAAAAAABY/fMpr0PLgSqg/s400/IMG_0917.JPG" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;This is the Polaroid photo, the very first photo I took of the Triangle which again shows it's location, clear enough to make the image out with the blur from the camera zoom and no focus control.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_oJnCf0OXCoE/TGBUV5DLe-I/AAAAAAAAACI/Or1PhhS4Whg/s1600/IMG_0918.JPG"&gt;&lt;img style="text-align: center; margin: 0px auto 10px; width: 400px; display: block; height: 300px;" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5503491479714888674" alt="" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_oJnCf0OXCoE/TGBUV5DLe-I/AAAAAAAAACI/Or1PhhS4Whg/s400/IMG_0918.JPG" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt; Here is a side-by-side shot of the images.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_oJnCf0OXCoE/TGBUQAOdgrI/AAAAAAAAACA/49rpXtEDJY0/s1600/IMG_0919.JPG"&gt;&lt;img style="text-align: center; margin: 0px auto 10px; width: 400px; display: block; height: 300px;" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5503491378562040498" alt="" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_oJnCf0OXCoE/TGBUQAOdgrI/AAAAAAAAACA/49rpXtEDJY0/s400/IMG_0919.JPG" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt; This is my left hand and there is also a triangle I induced using the same method here.

where the precognitive symbolism appears and is revealed in a next day format.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Read, "&lt;a href="http://you-are-dreaming.blogspot.com/2010/07/anatomy-of-precognitive-dream.html"&gt;The Anatomy of a Precognitive Dream&lt;/a&gt;" for more details.

Keep in mind this is not  literal precognition so the content of the dream can match key symbols  in real life, and not accurately.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;However this is a prime case to deconstruct the symbolism.  I will break down the image numbers as such for clarity:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;1.) Razor Blade.&lt;br /&gt;2.) Drinking straw or Double Chopstick choice.&lt;br /&gt;3.) Straw in tea and tea bag.&lt;br /&gt;4.) Mardis Gras event on August 7th with masks.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;5.)  To get the other symbolic event you need to watch Anthony's and my  interview where I was Interupted.  When I deconstructed the above  symbolism I realized that there was a good chance I was going to be  interrupted even though no one works at my Wife shop on Sundays.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Here  is the Dream and I will insert what events matched my waking life  events through symbolism.  And highlight the sections with the  symbolism.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Here is the link to the blog posted on the 7th so time stamped for such. &lt;a href="http://you-are-dreaming.blogspot.com/2010/08/august-7th-2010-dream.html" target="_blank"&gt; http://you-are-dreaming.blogspot.com/2010/08/august-7th-2010-dream.html&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;August 7th 2010&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;This was an interesting dream in terms of the  type of awareness it invoked.  I am staying at a friends apartment and  apparently he does cocaine.  He wants me to do some and the drug is  something I have never done in real life and in the dream I am also not  interested.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style=";color:#c00000;" &gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style=";color:#c00000;" &gt;&lt;b&gt;We end up having a party&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/span&gt; there and these amazingly  beautiful women were there dressed up in skin tight costumes again,&lt;b&gt;  &lt;span style=";color:#c00000;" &gt;looking very much like Circus du Soleil.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;  They had &lt;span style=";color:#c00000;" &gt;&lt;b&gt;sparkly face paint on&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/span&gt;  that simply was professionally done with rich gradient hues and  interesting lines.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style=";color:#002060;" &gt;&lt;i&gt;* My wife  and I went to a party last night where her friend at the shop celebrated  her wedding party from Mexico.  Earlier that day she made me come to  the shop with the kids because outside there was a Marti-Gras event and  people were having their face painted.  It was in no way professional  and the women were not there.  Darn.  However parents and kids were  wearing masks and face paint.  I didn't photograph strangers for obvious  reasons of privacy.&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;This is the second dream in the last couple of  weeks where such beautiful costumes are themed in the dream, so I  thought I would make note of it.  In the dream I took photographs of all  the girls.  &lt;span style=";color:#c00000;" &gt;&lt;b&gt;We party all night and it's a total blast.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style=";color:#002060;" &gt;&lt;i&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style=";color:#002060;" &gt;&lt;i&gt;* Back to the party with my wife, it lasts for our evening and we return home for bet.&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style=";color:#002060;" &gt;  &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style=";color:#002060;" &gt;&lt;i&gt;At  the party were lots of bikers and they were so awesome to party with.  this might  have create the cocaine impression on the dream because that "thought" did  cross my mind at the party.&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;In the  morning I wake up all alone in the apartment.  I leave to go see where  everyone is.  In my pocket there is the &lt;span style=";color:#c00000;" &gt;&lt;b&gt;bag of cocaine&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/span&gt; and I am shocked  that I have it on my person.  Afraid that somehow I might get arrested  for it I head back to the place where I found it.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style=";color:#002060;" &gt;&lt;i&gt;*  The cocaine is actually a bag of tea and I'll demonstrate how this is  later on.  Image 3 (Sorry for just slapping them together in a collage  first).&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;In the dream, I  am not being tempted to do this cocaine by my inner conscience.   “You've never tried cocaine, here's your chance and no one is around to  see you do it.”, my inner conscience thinks.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;“I don't even know how much to take, what if I overdose?”, I am engaging my conscience.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;“You won't, just make two lines, one for each nostril.”, my conscience thinks.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I  am not even sure on how to do it and not sure I even want to.  However  my inner conscious is really pressuring me to take this drug which is  against my normal waking morals.  It even instructs me further, “Get a  straw from the kitchen and measure out enough on the table, and create  two lines with that &lt;b&gt;&lt;span style=";color:#c00000;" &gt;razer blade&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;.”&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style=";color:#002060;" &gt;&lt;i&gt;*  At the barber shop, this was the first tip off that the symbolism  wasn't just the Mardi Gras and party.  I noticed that there was some  razor blades and they caught me off guard as I didn't see them in the  shop before. Image 1.&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I dip my finger in the bag and  taste the white powder.  It has a chemically taste, bitter and I don't  like it.  “How can anyone snort this crap?”, I complain to my  conscience.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style=";color:#c00000;" &gt;&lt;b&gt;I use my iPhone&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/span&gt; in the dream and Google cocaine  overdose and some website links appear.  I read that nearly a gram can  cause an overdose, and my conscience tells me, “You won't overdose, just  do enough to create two small lines.  It's no big deal, people do it  all the time and live.”&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style=";color:#002060;" &gt;&lt;i&gt;* I use  my iPhone to take the pictures to help show how symbolic dream  symbolism breaks down in next-day or near next-day waking life symbols.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I think of my baby daughter and what  would happen to her if I die.  I think about what my wife would think of  me if she found out I did something horrible like this drug.  So many  consequences race through my mind and my conscience assures me, “You'll  be fine, you need to at least try it once in your life.  It may as well  be right now.”&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;“I don't think that's a good reason just to do some dangerous chemical, it's a poison.”, I argue.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;This  inner struggle goes on until finally I am compelled to listen so I do  as my conscience tells me, it is after all my conscience.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I dump  a small amount of the drug on a table and cut two lines.&lt;span style=";color:#c00000;" &gt;&lt;b&gt;  I have a  drinking straw&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/span&gt; and I snort one line into one nostril, I can even feel  the drug enter and sting in my nose.  My eyes start to water and I force  myself to do another line which is then&lt;span style=";color:#c00000;" &gt;&lt;b&gt; interrupted by some person who  just sneaks up behind me&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/span&gt; and&lt;span style=";color:#c00000;" &gt;&lt;b&gt; I kind of spill what is left&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/span&gt;.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style=";color:#002060;" &gt;&lt;i&gt;*  In image 2 I have a choice for a stir stick for my tea that I made when  I was waiting for Tony's Interview.  I see the drinking straws and the  double chopsticks which I have to break to create a stick.  I decide on  the straw as the better option and stir my tea and it is here that I  realize all the symbolism from this dream and take the picture of the  tea with straw and tea bag.  It is also here that I suspect the  interview is entangled in this symbolism so at some point I anticipate we  will be interrupted.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;We are interrupted 45 minutes in near the  end of the interview, the back-door opens and a staff person comes from  behind me.  Her client will be a man who she could only book for Sunday  and shows up at 10:00am.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The rest of the dream could have  connection to the conversation but with symbolism in precognition  everything is a scrambled egg of coded and hidden precognitive  elements.  I thought this was excellent since the TMI dream with Skip  Atwaters and the Lady fit within the next day precog as well providing  some more interesting examples of how symbolic precognition works.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/span&gt;My August 3rd Dream was symbolically precognitive to an article I would read on the 5th that triggered the link to the dream and the TMI news release.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Symbolic precognition is not the desired precognitive dreaming I like to have.  However one cannot choose how certain dream types unfold (at least not yet).  This does however show how suggestive dream symbolism can appear within next day events which seems fairly common with my symbolic precognition. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;It was nice to have a camera to link some of the many symbols and show how intertwined the symbolism actually is, and why it requires a keen awareness of symbolic precognition to decode into the next day waking symbolism.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Hope you enjoyed this suggestive example of &lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;Symbolic Precognitive Dreaming&lt;/span&gt;.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/1818683220437348242-6249354931340372079?l=you-are-dreaming.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://you-are-dreaming.blogspot.com/feeds/6249354931340372079/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://you-are-dreaming.blogspot.com/2010/08/deconstructing-symbolic-precognitive.html#comment-form' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/1818683220437348242/posts/default/6249354931340372079'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/1818683220437348242/posts/default/6249354931340372079'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://you-are-dreaming.blogspot.com/2010/08/deconstructing-symbolic-precognitive.html' title='Deconstructing a Symbolic Precognitive Dream'/><author><name>Ian Wilson</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/09312115730377763162</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_oJnCf0OXCoE/TF9JYv7ZxfI/AAAAAAAAAA4/kjt6_hJOG_E/s72-c/symbolprecog.png' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1818683220437348242.post-4046533248727940257</id><published>2010-08-07T10:05:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2010-08-07T10:06:43.490-07:00</updated><title type='text'>August 7th, 2010 - Dream.</title><content type='html'>Busy with work so has been hard to journal dreams, I managed to get this one out.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;August 7th 2010&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;This was an interesting dream in terms of the type of awareness it invoked.  I am staying at a friends apartment and apparently he does cocaine.  He wants me to do some and the drug is something I have never done in real life and in the dream I am also not interested.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;We end up having a party there and these amazingly beautiful women were there dressed up in skin tight costumes again, looking very much like Circus du Soleil.  They had sparkly face paint on that simply was professionally done with rich gradient hues and interesting lines.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;This is the second dream in the last couple of weeks where such beautiful costumes are themed in the dream, so I thought I would make note of it.  In the dream I took photographs of all the girls.  We party all night and it's a total blast. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;In the morning I wake up all alone in the apartment.  I leave to go see where everyone is.  In my pocket there is the bag of cocaine and I am shocked that I have it on my person.  Afraid that somehow I might get arrested for it I head back to the place where I found it.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;In the dream, I am not being tempted to do this cocaine by my inner conscience.  “You've never tried cocaine, here's your chance and no one is around to see you do it.”, my inner conscience thinks.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;“I don't even know how much to take, what if I overdose?”, I am engaging my conscience.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;“You won't, just make two lines, one for each nostril.”, my conscience thinks.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I am not even sure on how to do it and not sure I even want to.  However my inner conscious is really pressuring me to take this drug which is against my normal waking morals.  It even instructs me further, “Get a straw from the kitchen and measure out enough on the table, and create two lines with that razer blade.”&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I dip my finger in the bag and taste the white powder.  It has a chemically taste, bitter and I don't like it.  “How can anyone snort this crap?”, I complain to my conscience. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I use my iPhone in the dream and Google cocaine overdose and some website links appear.  I read that nearly a gram can cause an overdose, and my conscience tells me, “You won't overdose, just do enough to create two small lines.  It's no big deal, people do it all the time and live.”&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I think of my baby daughter and what would happen to her if I die.  I think about what my wife would think of me if she found out I did something horrible like this drug.  So many consequences race through my mind and my conscience assures me, “You'll be fine, you need to at least try it once in your life.  It may as well be right now.”&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;“I don't think that's a good reason just to do some dangerous chemical, it's a poison.”, I argue.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;This inner struggle goes on until finally I am compelled to listen so I do as my conscience tells me, it is after all my conscience. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I dump a small amount of the drug on a table and cut two lines.  I have a drinking straw and I snort one line into one nostril, I can even feel the drug enter and sting in my nose.  My eyes start to water and I force myself to do another line which is then interrupted by some person who just sneaks up behind me and I kind of spill what is left.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;He's a younger male, probably in his late 20's and has short dark-brown curly hair and facial hair.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;“What the hell are you doing sneaking up on me, you made me make a mess.”, I tell him.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;“What are you doing?  Cocaine?  I didn't know you did drugs?”, he says in awe.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;“I know it's stupid but I was compelled to try it at least once.”, I tell him.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;“No worries bro, here smoke a joint.”, he then just stuffs a joint in my mouth and I take a few puffs.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The effects of the drugs start to take hold.  I start to worry about what I had just done.  I was now in shock that at 38 years of age I would be so careless, stupid and juvenile to have taken this drug.  I feel a rising pressure in my body and this is where it gets interesting. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I stand up and turn towards the kitchen and take a deep breath through my nose.  I feel high and it brings about a strong sense of self-awareness  and embarrassment.  Because the drug effect in the dream acts as a logical barrier, I become awake in the dream but totally oblivious to the fact I am dreaming because I am now aware that I had done a drugs.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The feeling of self-awareness however is very intense, so intense in fact that I start to realize that I am in an actual state having an experience of reality that has entangled me within a “now” moment.  The reality of self becomes a focus point and I put my hands out and touch the walls in the hallway.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I stop and breath, the drug effect is overwhelming but pales in effect to the strong realizations that I am real and that I exist and possess reality.  I am sorry that I did the drug and this strong sense of love comes over me, there hallway is dark and illuminates slightly into a hue of pink.  There is a strong sense of time, where the animation of the dream feels almost digital and matrix like.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;All the grainy textures and natural fractal like patterns found in normal everyday surfaces become emphasized and they become slightly holographic.  I feel ashamed that I would ever hurt myself with drugs, but my conscience has also changed, “You have been at this for a very long time.”&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;“I don't hate you because you did a drug.  The drug is part of the human experience, and you are experiencing what it is to be human.  Expect to make a few mistakes along the way.”, my conscience resonates within me.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;“What is more important is that you exist, and that you are real.  What makes you real, and how you realize it is what matters most.”, my conscience explains.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;“You are right, I was only curious but the drug itself has no purposeful meaning.  This moment right now, this self-awareness  and knowing that I exist is what I really want to experience.”, I think back.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The feeling of love is very strong and calming.  The effect of the drug in the dream has triggered a very strange form of lucid awareness that hasn't allowed me to realize I was dreaming, rather realize that I was awake in reality.  A very clever trick.  That said, I start to realize that I am somehow creating this reality.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I start thinking about how this reality is a mind-generated holographic projection from within my self.  Without me, this reality could not exist, would not exist.  I am what makes “this” real and that is why I am here. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;It is a very deep thought and the love intensifies as I become very aware of myself in some interesting non-linear and abstract ways remembering a multitude of self-realized moments just like this one.  How each moment contributes to what it means to be and exist.  It connects me to chronological serialized time and little doses of self-realization that stitch together to form a larger composite of experiences by which I am self-realized in.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I have a very strong knowing about how this “reality” and my own existence within it are because of an ability that I have to produce and create an expression of “reality” as effortlessly as breathing.  With less effort then it takes to think a single word.  I have found myself.  I am reality.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The dream reality comes back into more focus, and I feel myself start to come down off the high and the love and awareness dims.  I see myself reflecting in a mirror and I stare at my eyes and connect to my being there in this state.  There is a real struggle for awareness that in any second could be a lucid dream, but I think what I am realizing about myself and my interconnectedness with the experience at hand is more important.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I smile and turn back to the guy in the dream, he's looking at me and asks, “Are you alright?  You just stopped and tripped out in the hallway for like 20 minutes.”&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;“I was just having a 'me' moment.  I shouldn't have experimented with those drugs.”, I tell him.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;My wife shows up and she is looking for me.  “What have you been up to?  I have been looking all over for you?”, she asks.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;“Nothing, I was just waking up and getting ready to come home.”, I explain.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I start flipping through pictures in my cell-phone of the party from the other night.  I see the images of the girls in the Circus du Soliel like outfits and my wife grabs the phone.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt; “I want to see.”, she says.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;“I didn't want you too because you are going to get all jealous and think that I was with one of these girls.”, I tell her.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;“Well where you?”, she asks.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;“No, they were just at the party and I took pictures because of the costumes.  I just drank and had a good time.  I wish you could have been there it was a blast.”, I tell her.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;She is angry, steaming over the fact I had some women photographed.  It didn't matter that they were in costume and looked like living art.  I could tell she was fuming and thinking that I am cheating on her and somehow my having this party was another reason to be unhappy with me.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;“You can't get angry at me for going out any more then I can get angry with you.  I didn't cheat, I just had some fun.” I tell her.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;She doesn't care, she's too caught up in her fears to listen and we walk to our car, the kids are inside and I wake up.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Time-To-Bed: 11:30pm&lt;br /&gt;Time-Awake: 3:20am&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;WBTB Method&lt;br /&gt;I had to go sleep on the couch and by the time I wrote the above it was sun-rise and that certainly made it difficult to sleep.  That said.  I did manage to dream.  In the dream I was in Vancouver with my Wife driving.  We seemed to continue on with the above dream but just argued with each other. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;She was also upset about my interests in dreams and I told her, “In your negative attitude with all your unimportance you throw my interests in dreaming, and  for as long as you have known me... have you ever for once considered that it was important to me?” &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Dream arguments are always so dramatic, it's true in waking reality my wife really doesn't support my interests in dreams one bit.  I don't blame her.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I woke up again from sunlight and just made some mental notes of the above dream.  No clock so no time estimates.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Dream 3&lt;br /&gt;In this dream, I was with a news reporter who was female.  There was a camera man and I was in New York.  We were walking on a street and it was early morning. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;She said, “We are with Ian Wilson, author of a new book called “You Are Dreaming” and we are spending the morning with him in what he calls a dream.”&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;“It is a beautiful morning, you have really nice weather in New York.”, I tell her.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;“How do you like New York?”, she asks.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;“I love it, it's an amazing city.  It feels a lot warmer here in the mornings then back in Canada.”, I tell her.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;We are walking over to a Burger King for breakfast, I can see it facing me as we are walking.  She has a hand held microphone with a white foam tip.  I remember as we walked having it bump into my mouth and I could feel the soft foamy texture.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;“So tell me, how is all of this a dream?” she asks.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;“Well, at first glance we think that it's anything but a dream.  That is because our belief-system does not allow us to see the very obvious fact that this is a dream.”, I tell her.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;She looks around and smiles at me, “It certainly looks real to me.”&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;“This is what I try to explain in my book, that our belief in reality rejects dreams as having any relevance and relationship to what reality actually is.  However through dreaming we see the very mechanics at work by which thought is organized into a dream and depending on how we perceive and remember that process when we wake up and time passes we can catch a glimpse of this mechanic when the dream actualizes and comes true.” I tell her.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;“So you are saying that everything is real, dreams and reality?”, she asks.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;“Yes.  Reality doesn't just happen in our physical world but also occurs in our dream world.  We need to understand that the idea of reality has to encompass more then just physical reality.  Dreams are a type of reality also”, I tell her.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;We walk into the Burger King and the management has made sure we can go right to the counter and order.  I order an ice cream cone for breakfast.  Everyone looks at me weird and I say, “Relax, it's a dream.” and I smile and take a bite.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;She finishes off her story, “So there you have it, ice cream breakfast with dreamer Ian Wilson in what he calls a remarkable dream.” and finishes off.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;When we are done she asks if I am actually going to eat that ice cream cone.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;“Sure, I like ice-cream.  It tastes good.”, and I walk out with her eating the cone.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I walk past a fence with some dogs and people outside and stop to say hi. And wake up.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/1818683220437348242-4046533248727940257?l=you-are-dreaming.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://you-are-dreaming.blogspot.com/feeds/4046533248727940257/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://you-are-dreaming.blogspot.com/2010/08/august-7th-2010-dream.html#comment-form' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/1818683220437348242/posts/default/4046533248727940257'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/1818683220437348242/posts/default/4046533248727940257'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://you-are-dreaming.blogspot.com/2010/08/august-7th-2010-dream.html' title='August 7th, 2010 - Dream.'/><author><name>Ian Wilson</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/09312115730377763162</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1818683220437348242.post-2901670245515576419</id><published>2010-08-06T15:34:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2010-08-06T15:35:35.505-07:00</updated><title type='text'>I will be on Unravelling the Secrets this Sunday Aug 8, 2010</title><content type='html'>Anthony Peake has invited me to join him on "Unravelling The Secrets" to talk about lucid dreaming and how I have merged precognitive dreaming with lucid dreaming.  The interview will most likely focus on active lucid precognitive dreaming where you can affect a dream that has precognitive potential from a lucid state and observe the changes that occurred in the dream actualize when the precognitive element of the dream comes true.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Anthony Peake is the author of "The Daemon" and "Is There Life After Death". &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Unraveling the Secrets, hosted by Rick Osman and Dennis Crenshaw will be broadcast live on Sunday 8th August at 1700 UK time.

I found this on a web archive.  Here is a link to the old site until it finally dissolves into internet memory and oblivion.  I revisited this article, and it reminded me of just how passionate I was with regards to dreaming.  I should really spider this site and make a copy... 12 years can really shift the data archives.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://webspace.webring.com/people/al/lucidmetro/"&gt;http://webspace.webring.com/people/al/lucidmetro/&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;center&gt; &lt;/center&gt;  &lt;center&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:180%;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://webspace.webring.com/people/al/lucidmetro/DREAMS.htm"&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;u&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Verdana;"&gt;DREAMS &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/u&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/center&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt; &lt;span style="font-family:Verdana;"&gt;by Ian Wilson 1999&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Verdana;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;  &lt;ul&gt;&lt;li&gt; &lt;span style="font-family:Verdana;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://webspace.webring.com/people/al/lucidmetro/DREAMS.htm#SALES"&gt;SALES PITCH&lt;/a&gt; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt; &lt;span style="font-family:Verdana;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://webspace.webring.com/people/al/lucidmetro/DREAMS.htm#TYPES%20OF"&gt;TYPES OF DREAMS&lt;/a&gt; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt; &lt;span style="font-family:Verdana;"&gt;   &lt;a href="http://webspace.webring.com/people/al/lucidmetro/DREAMS.htm#SEMI-CONSCIOUS"&gt;SEMI-CONSCIOUS DREAMS&lt;/a&gt; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt; &lt;span style="font-family:Verdana;"&gt;   &lt;a href="http://webspace.webring.com/people/al/lucidmetro/DREAMS.htm#WAKING"&gt;WAKING DREAMS &lt;/a&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt; &lt;span style="font-family:Verdana;"&gt;   &lt;a href="http://webspace.webring.com/people/al/lucidmetro/DREAMS.htm#LUCID"&gt;LUCID DREAMS &lt;/a&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt; &lt;span style="font-family:Verdana;"&gt;   &lt;a href="http://webspace.webring.com/people/al/lucidmetro/DREAMS.htm#PRECOGNITIVE"&gt;PRECOGNITIVE DREAMS &lt;/a&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt; &lt;span style="font-family:Verdana;"&gt;   &lt;a href="http://webspace.webring.com/people/al/lucidmetro/DREAMS.htm#LUCID%20PRECOGNITIVE"&gt;LUCID PRECOGNITIVE DREAMS &lt;/a&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt; &lt;span style="font-family:Verdana;"&gt;   &lt;a href="http://webspace.webring.com/people/al/lucidmetro/DREAMS.htm#SHARED"&gt;SHARED DREAMS &lt;/a&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt; &lt;span style="font-family:Verdana;"&gt;   &lt;a href="http://webspace.webring.com/people/al/lucidmetro/DREAMS.htm#NIGHTMARES"&gt;NIGHTMARES &lt;/a&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt; &lt;span style="font-family:Verdana;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://webspace.webring.com/people/al/lucidmetro/DREAMS.htm#RECOMMENDED"&gt;RECOMMENDED READING &lt;/a&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt; &lt;span style="font-family:Verdana;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://webspace.webring.com/people/al/lucidmetro/DREAMS.htm#ONLINE"&gt;ONLINE SOURCES &lt;/a&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;/ul&gt;  &lt;a name="SALES"&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Verdana;"&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;u&gt;SALES PITCH&lt;/u&gt;&lt;/b&gt; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Verdana;"&gt; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Verdana;"&gt;        Why take an interest in your dreams?   What could dreams possibly  &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Verdana;"&gt;  contain that would interest you, or have some value to you?  The answer is &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Verdana;"&gt;  simple really.  Dreams are a part of your life.  They are a self-expressing &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Verdana;"&gt;  part of yourself, in a medium that is rich with experience on many levels &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Verdana;"&gt;  which transcend ordinary existence. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Verdana;"&gt;        Imagine if you will, going to sleep at night only to wake up in a dream. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Verdana;"&gt;  You stand there starting &lt;/span&gt; &lt;span style="font-family:Verdana;"&gt;at the dreamscape fully awake and aware that you &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Verdana;"&gt;  are dreaming.  Suddenly &lt;/span&gt; &lt;span style="font-family:Verdana;"&gt;you realize you can fly.  So you do, you leap like &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Verdana;"&gt;  superman or superwoman &lt;/span&gt; &lt;span style="font-family:Verdana;"&gt;into the sky and soar at lightning speeds.  This grows &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Verdana;"&gt;  tiring, so you change &lt;/span&gt; &lt;span style="font-family:Verdana;"&gt;the dream to some sci-fi thriller.  The environment &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Verdana;"&gt;  changes effortlessly to &lt;/span&gt; &lt;span style="font-family:Verdana;"&gt;reflect the world you want to play in.  Beautiful &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Verdana;"&gt;  space-age buildings form.  &lt;/span&gt; &lt;span style="font-family:Verdana;"&gt;The street is full with bustling people.  An alien &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Verdana;"&gt;  walks by and greets you &lt;/span&gt; &lt;span style="font-family:Verdana;"&gt;by name.  You know your dreaming, and you change it &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Verdana;"&gt;  at a whim to what ever you desire. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Verdana;"&gt;        How does it feel?  What if you could smell the oil burning off from the&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Verdana;"&gt;  passing vehicles.  The alien sounded clear and loud.  You stop by some &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Verdana;"&gt;  store and sample some pastry and it is solid, has texture and tastes rich &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Verdana;"&gt;  with flavor and the cream-filled center spills out from your mouth and drops &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Verdana;"&gt;  on the street.  You hear loud thumping music from above the sky and you &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Verdana;"&gt;  fly up to the source to find a funky night club which makes Jaba The Hut's &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Verdana;"&gt;  place look like a dive, and with more exotic and wonderful creatures to stand &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Verdana;"&gt;  in awe at? &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Verdana;"&gt;        If you dream like this already, then you probably love dreaming.  Dreams&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Verdana;"&gt;  are not some black and white two-dimensional setting that we act chaotic &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Verdana;"&gt;  and silly in.  Mind you we all have dreams where the content is best left in &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Verdana;"&gt;  the shadows of our forgetful memory.  It's probably because the artist didn't &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Verdana;"&gt;  bother to inspire the content.  You weren't interested in picking up the brush &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Verdana;"&gt;  and painting the colors, sounds, and textures needed to make the dream &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Verdana;"&gt;  aesthetically pleasing. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Verdana;"&gt;       For me, I dream in full vivid colors.  I experience hot, cold, taste, touch, &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Verdana;"&gt;  smell, sound and pain in ways that make my dream's often appear more real &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Verdana;"&gt;  than my waking life.  When the dream is at it's peak in tactile aesthetics, I am &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Verdana;"&gt;  usually fully awake and alert that I am in a dream setting.  And I instantly &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Verdana;"&gt;  go to work to insure a level of quality that I desire from my dreams.  Why?  &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Verdana;"&gt;  Because it's a great medium to express artistically, in a multi-dimensional &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Verdana;"&gt;  form.  In your dreams, treat them like a movie where you are the director, the &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Verdana;"&gt;  special effects crew, the actor, and the camera all happening instantly and &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Verdana;"&gt;  simultaneously with little or no effort at all.   You don't have to be an &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Verdana;"&gt;  artist to be a good dreamer.  This is a talent we all naturally have.  It's a &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Verdana;"&gt;  function of our very existence. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Verdana;"&gt;       I set standards for my dreams.  I want them to reflect my most &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Verdana;"&gt;  passionate adventures, my wildest of worlds and anything else I can take &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Verdana;"&gt;  credit for creating while I sleep at night.  I have developed game worlds to &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Verdana;"&gt;  play in when I sleep where I can load and save and continue on certain &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Verdana;"&gt;  dreams should I desire to entertain myself in them.  Other motivators for &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Verdana;"&gt;  quality dream control is the fact I am aware that our dreams can be shared.  &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Verdana;"&gt;  And I want to best for my friends and family should I ever happen on them &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Verdana;"&gt;  in a shared dream environment.  I have many motivated reasons for &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Verdana;"&gt;  dreaming.  It is a talent that is worth developing because the benefits out &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Verdana;"&gt;  weigh anything I can think of in personal life. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Verdana;"&gt;       Dreams are free, harmless and entertaining.  They can be educational, &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Verdana;"&gt;  emotional, or just plain fun.   They open doors that go past the &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Verdana;"&gt;  entertainment/fantasy section of your consciousness and embark on great &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Verdana;"&gt;  spiritual journeys in your own psyche.  And the only thing that holds you &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Verdana;"&gt;  back is yourself.  Since dreaming occurs whether you want it to or not, may &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Verdana;"&gt;  as well take control of them and have some fun. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Verdana;"&gt;      You should never be frightened of dream content.  No matter how sick, &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Verdana;"&gt;  scary, twisted or demented a dream may appear, good lucid dream control &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Verdana;"&gt;  techniques can instantly change unwanted dreams into something which &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Verdana;"&gt;  gives you a good story to talk about in the morning.  What I can do to &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Verdana;"&gt;  help you dream, is offer this course at no charge and no obligation to you. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Verdana;"&gt;  Maybe one day you might help someone else attain the skills you &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Verdana;"&gt;  embrace on a nightly basis.  And to me, living in a world of vivid, lucid &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Verdana;"&gt;  dreamers who know how to dream sounds fun and cool. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Verdana;"&gt;       Perhaps you have never experienced a precognitive dream.  Maybe you &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Verdana;"&gt;  have yet to shared a dream.  These more profound experiences of dreaming &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Verdana;"&gt;  also occur regularly, but again lack the missing element which is your waking &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Verdana;"&gt;  consciousness.  The more lucid and alert you are in a dream, the more &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Verdana;"&gt;  decision making ability you have to choose what is best for you.  There is a &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Verdana;"&gt;  secret power to dreaming that I am unloading on you knowingly.  And with &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Verdana;"&gt;  this power comes responsibility.   When it unlocks for you, you'll know it.   I &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Verdana;"&gt;  want to wake everyone up to this power since is a thoroughgoing process of &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Verdana;"&gt;  our evolutionary development.  A necessary fun step that we as a social &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Verdana;"&gt;  mass need to embrace.  Creating a network of lucid precognitive dreamers is &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Verdana;"&gt;  one of my primary goals.  Until you have a lucid precognitive dream, you'll &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Verdana;"&gt;  never truly know what it is I am talking about.  Yet at some level in your &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Verdana;"&gt;  deep subconscious, a part of you already knows.   Because a part of you is &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Verdana;"&gt;  already active in those areas waiting for your waking self to join in.  The key &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Verdana;"&gt;  to any conscious door is you.  Start unlocking and let some air in, closed &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Verdana;"&gt;  rooms get kind of musty and dark. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Verdana;"&gt;        Besides, I have a full money back guarantee that if you are not satisfied &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Verdana;"&gt;  with dreaming, all you have to do is stop taking an interest in them, and &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Verdana;"&gt;  funny enough, they tend to go away until you want to dream again.  But that &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Verdana;"&gt;  is like telling your left brain to go take a hike and think somewhere else.  I &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Verdana;"&gt;  would love to help you create dreams that are fun, active and a beautiful &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Verdana;"&gt;  part of your life if dreams are not already. &lt;/span&gt; &lt;span style="font-family:Verdana;"&gt;It's the least I can attempt to &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Verdana;"&gt;  do. &lt;/span&gt;   &lt;p&gt; &lt;a name="TYPES OF"&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;u&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Verdana;"&gt;TYPES OF DREAMS &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/u&gt;&lt;/b&gt;   &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Verdana;"&gt;        Since we dream in so many unlimited and infinite patterns, I have just &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Verdana;"&gt;  grouped dreams into a few common categories which nearly everyone has &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Verdana;"&gt;  experienced one of these types of dreams. &lt;/span&gt;   &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt; &lt;a name="SEMI-CONSCIOUS"&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Verdana;"&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;u&gt;SEMI-CONSCIOUS DREAMS&lt;/u&gt;&lt;/b&gt; &lt;/span&gt;   &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Verdana;"&gt;       Any dream that you wake up and have some memory of tend to fall in &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Verdana;"&gt;  this category.  These dreams tend to be strange, illogical, or just &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Verdana;"&gt;  repetitious.  We have no idea we are dreaming while in them.  They tend to &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Verdana;"&gt;  reflect our personal issues, our fantasies and our beliefs.  When we waken, &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Verdana;"&gt;  we tend to loose them quickly to the forgetfulness we often let go &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Verdana;"&gt;  unquestioned into the dark abyss of the sub-conscious. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Verdana;"&gt;      These dreams are the beginning for any good dreamer.  It's part of this &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Verdana;"&gt;  courses focus to work on good dream recall techniques and move &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Verdana;"&gt;  progressively towards good dream control. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Verdana;"&gt; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a name="WAKING"&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Verdana;"&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;u&gt;WAKING DREAMS&lt;/u&gt;&lt;/b&gt; &lt;/span&gt;   &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Verdana;"&gt;       This is a dream where you are alert and conscious, but you don't realize &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Verdana;"&gt;  you are dreaming until you wake up.  Typical examples are of waking up, &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Verdana;"&gt;  going to the washroom or a normal everyday pattern you follow when you &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Verdana;"&gt;  wake up.  Only to wake up again to realize that all that was just a dream.  &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Verdana;"&gt;  This is where lucid dreaming and semi-conscious dreaming are sharing your &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Verdana;"&gt;  waking-consciousness.  If you have these dreams, it's a small step over to &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Verdana;"&gt;  lucid dreaming. &lt;/span&gt;   &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;a name="LUCID"&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;u&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Verdana;"&gt;LUCID DREAMS &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/u&gt;&lt;/b&gt;   &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Verdana;"&gt;       When we are awake, we associate this with being who we are.  It is the &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Verdana;"&gt;  part of us in charge of all the decision making we do in the day.  It is who &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Verdana;"&gt;  think we are as an awake human.  But in a dreamstate, our waking &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Verdana;"&gt;  consciousness is normally turned off, so all the important faculties such as &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Verdana;"&gt;  analytical abilities, logic and questioning tend to be dormant.  But in a lucid &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Verdana;"&gt;  dream, you literally walk a door from physical reality into one of pure mental &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Verdana;"&gt;  existence.  Your thoughts effortlessly paint the dreamscape and you have   &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Verdana;"&gt;  full mental faculties as you would if you were awake. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Verdana;"&gt;       Lucid dreaming is probably one of the best forms of dreaming that I can &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Verdana;"&gt;  think of.  You extend your conscious existence into a realm where you are &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Verdana;"&gt;  the creator.  Your abilities to imagine are increased to quantum levels where &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Verdana;"&gt;  the very thought of a building can create architecture unlike anything &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Verdana;"&gt;  imagined in our physical world.  This is a place where you discover just how &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Verdana;"&gt;  real and unlimited your imagination can be.  The level or quality of the &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Verdana;"&gt;  dream is yours to command.  The rules of conduct are yours to decide.  &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Verdana;"&gt;  Anything imaginable can be expressed in fluid graceful motion in this &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Verdana;"&gt;  dreamscape.  It also opens up a great avenue for your curiosity.  Learning &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Verdana;"&gt;  can be conducted, you can experiment with your thoughts and beliefs. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;       &lt;span style="font-family:Verdana;"&gt;Create music, art, cities, worlds, universes all in the instant of your own &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Verdana;"&gt;  thoughts?  Unimaginable?  Only if you cannot conceive the possibility.  After &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Verdana;"&gt;  all, you’re the one now holding the pen. &lt;/span&gt;   &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt; &lt;a name="PRECOGNITIVE"&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;u&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Verdana;"&gt;PRECOGNITIVE DREAMS &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/u&gt;&lt;/b&gt;   &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Verdana;"&gt;       This is where time and space no longer seem to fit any rational logical&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Verdana;"&gt;  meaning.  These dreams will put the twist on any logical thinker.  &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Verdana;"&gt;  Precognition is an ability to know and experience a future event before it &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Verdana;"&gt;  ever occurs.  Not everybody has had a precognitive dream that they remeber,&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Verdana;"&gt;  but many do.  And déjà vu is the shadow of such colossal events in human &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Verdana;"&gt;  consciousness.  A part of you just skipped the time/space continuum to &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Verdana;"&gt;  check out what it will be doing in some later date. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Verdana;"&gt;      Seldom controlled, these dreams are spontaneous, faint and ghost like.  &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Verdana;"&gt;  You may wake up having full memory of them, but that quickly fades.  And &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Verdana;"&gt;  in the thoughts that a dream might be precognitive, such clear memory tends &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Verdana;"&gt;  not to hold any precognitive value.  These ones from my opinion are the &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Verdana;"&gt;  hardest, and most stealthy of the dreams for our consciousness to behold.  &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Verdana;"&gt;  And for probably a good reason as we probably aren't ready for that &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Verdana;"&gt;  knowledge until something in us decides that we are. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Verdana;"&gt;      If you have ever observed your waking state, you'll notice that your body &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Verdana;"&gt;  with all of it's senses records your reality and stores this recording into &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Verdana;"&gt;  memory as time progresses.  Occasionally for a precognitive dreamer, it is &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Verdana;"&gt;  like a record has just skipped and you are playing the same verse over &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Verdana;"&gt;  again.  If you remember the dream, and have a clear memory the accuracy &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Verdana;"&gt;  can scare you.  These dreams can hold an eerie 100% accuracy down to the &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Verdana;"&gt;  finest of details.  Even to the details we think are totally spontaneous like &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Verdana;"&gt;  our own inner contemplation and emotions. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Verdana;"&gt;       For example imagine that in a dream you are standing in a park that you &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Verdana;"&gt;  have never been before.  An old man wearing a blue jacket with a brown &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Verdana;"&gt;  furry collar and yellow-Grey pants walks up to you and asks you if you have &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Verdana;"&gt;  the time.  You check your watch and your thoughts remark on the mans &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Verdana;"&gt;  jacket.  You check the watch and tell the man it is 12:15pm.  He thanks you &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Verdana;"&gt;  and walks off.  You wake up, remember this clearly and let it slip back into &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Verdana;"&gt;  the sub-conscious memory banks. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Verdana;"&gt;      Months later, you are on vacation at some city.  You go for a walk in a &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Verdana;"&gt;  park to absorb the natural beauty that the city presents.  The very man in &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Verdana;"&gt;  your dream walks up as if in perfect timing, and he asks you the time, you &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Verdana;"&gt;  respond and tell him it's 12:15pm, but this time you suddenly have a flash &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Verdana;"&gt;  of déjà vu.  Something really familiar about that man, the park, the time.  &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Verdana;"&gt;  You struggle with how you could know this and with some luck, your &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Verdana;"&gt;  remember the dream.  It was so clear at the time, and both the memory of &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Verdana;"&gt;  the dream and the physical event map over each other like a perfect glove.  &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Verdana;"&gt;  Coincidence?  I don't think so. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Verdana;"&gt;       For many, this kind of small excerpt is common.  A very brief one or two &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Verdana;"&gt;  minute reminder that something more is going on than what you really truly &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Verdana;"&gt;  know.  Yet, not something that is totally hidden or alien to your &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Verdana;"&gt;  consciousness.  It's something we all naturally do, just some remember &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Verdana;"&gt;  better than others. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Verdana;"&gt;       Precognitive dreams can come once in a life time, or in an assault of &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Verdana;"&gt;  unrelenting waves.  The fact is, people have them whether they want to or &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Verdana;"&gt;  not.  You may be one of these people.  And they are part of the tip of the &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Verdana;"&gt;  iceberg for a much deeper spiritual you.  If you have them, that's normal and &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Verdana;"&gt;  actually there is nothing to be frightened of.  I find that a lot of people tend &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Verdana;"&gt;  to be intimidated by powerful precognitive dreams.  I teach you to embrace &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Verdana;"&gt;  them because they embark on a new science which we are slowly &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Verdana;"&gt;  unraveling.  And it is important to write down dreams if you yourself want to &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Verdana;"&gt;  have more empirical evidence that you are having precognitive dreams.  This &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Verdana;"&gt;  will only help you for what comes next. &lt;/span&gt;   &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt; &lt;a name="LUCID PRECOGNITIVE"&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;u&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Verdana;"&gt;LUCID PRECOGNITIVE DREAMS &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/u&gt;&lt;/b&gt;   &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Verdana;"&gt;       What is a lucid precognitive dream?  If you study dream research, I think&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Verdana;"&gt;  I am the only person that I know who is talking about this layer of &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Verdana;"&gt;  dreaming.  It's going to shock you, thrill you, mystify you and scare you.  &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Verdana;"&gt;  The moment you have one of these dreams, it will change you forever.  Not &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Verdana;"&gt;  in any physical way, but in a conscious way.  But I only speak from how they&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Verdana;"&gt;  have changed me.  They have given me hope that I thought forgotten of &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Verdana;"&gt;  myself.  And open a door so large for human growth and potential that I am &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Verdana;"&gt;  very excited about teaching this kind of dreaming. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Verdana;"&gt;       Take everything you know about life, thought, reality and yourself.  &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Verdana;"&gt;  Subtract all the science, belief and knowledge you think you have.  Then just &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Verdana;"&gt;  start fresh.  You are awake, alert and you KNOW you are dreaming.  This to &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Verdana;"&gt;  you is clear.  It is a lucid dream.  However, this one for all you avid lucid &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Verdana;"&gt;  dreamer's out there who may not have had one yet takes you to a new &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Verdana;"&gt;  boundary.   I call the precognitive layer the forge of creation.  And you now &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Verdana;"&gt;  stand at it.  Don't worry, you've stood here many times, probably too many &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Verdana;"&gt;  to count.  This occurs in very deep levels of our sleeping consciousness.  &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Verdana;"&gt;  And when you are here, you are not alone.  These dreams are moderated by &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Verdana;"&gt;  an intelligence far superior to normal waking human intelligence.  More &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Verdana;"&gt;  advanced than some space faring alien.  You are a part of that intelligence.  &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Verdana;"&gt;  And the reality is, you are creating it along side of countless other &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Verdana;"&gt;  intelligence's just like you.  Different only they are the man in the park, the &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Verdana;"&gt;  bird in the tree, the car driving on the road, the cells in your hands, the &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Verdana;"&gt;  molecules in the cell, the fabric of intelligence and consciousness in the &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Verdana;"&gt;  universe.  And if you get here, and knowingly stand here consciously it's &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Verdana;"&gt;  because something has allowed it. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Verdana;"&gt;       I have accessed this field via two methods:- From a lucid dream, and &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Verdana;"&gt;  from a fully conscious out-of-body experience.  When I had my first lucid &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Verdana;"&gt;  precognitive dream, I thought it was a shared dream because before I &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Verdana;"&gt;  created the dream, I was greeted by a formless being in what I call a &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Verdana;"&gt;  endless void.  I was 17 at the time and now well attuned to dreaming, and &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Verdana;"&gt;  precognitive dreams.  What was about to happen I never banked on. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Verdana;"&gt;        The being asked me what I wanted to experience in plain, perfect &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Verdana;"&gt;  English.  Instead of holding back and asking myself why, I felt something &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Verdana;"&gt;  very familiar about this being and this void.  I thought for a second and &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Verdana;"&gt;  asked for a very simple, yet love inspired dream.  A 2-dimentional window&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Verdana;"&gt;  with a location appeared and I dove through it into a fully 3D tactile lucid &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Verdana;"&gt;  dream.  Since I was creating this dream with this intelligence, I treated it &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Verdana;"&gt;  like a shared dream and tried to get the full value of the requested &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Verdana;"&gt;  experience.  It all formed effortlessly, I returned from the dream to thank &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Verdana;"&gt;  what ever "beings" where there and I woke up. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Verdana;"&gt;      I thought about how beautiful the dream was, how nice the people in the &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Verdana;"&gt;  dream were.  I thought it was just a game like all the others that I play &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Verdana;"&gt;  when dreaming.  A nice story, or nice walk in fantasy park.  But this dream &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Verdana;"&gt;  came back to bring full circle which I long denied or though possible.  It &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Verdana;"&gt;  came true, in the same natural pattern that my normal precognitive dreams &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Verdana;"&gt;  do, but this time I was dual-conscious.  My past and my future just became &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Verdana;"&gt;  one.  My dreams and my reality merged and I stood physically awake and &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Verdana;"&gt;  dreaming.  It made that song row, row, row your boat take on more than &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Verdana;"&gt;  just a childish lullaby.  I could not return to the not-knowing.  I had all the &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Verdana;"&gt;  evidence I asked for.  How was it possible that I could dream something and &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Verdana;"&gt;  later could that dream come true?  Did I have any say in what I dreamt?  Did &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Verdana;"&gt;  what I say have an effect on here?  Did we all do this?  All answered for me &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Verdana;"&gt;  in a very clear, perfect demonstration of the power of consciousness, and &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Verdana;"&gt;  the power of thought. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Verdana;"&gt;       You might be reading this thinking what the hell I just said.  The answer &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Verdana;"&gt;  really was simple, I was experiencing something.  Like we all experience &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Verdana;"&gt;  something.  We may not all like what we experience, nor understand it.  But &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Verdana;"&gt;  the fact is we exist, and while we exist, we dream.  If you have had &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Verdana;"&gt;  precognitive dreams you might relate to this better than those who have &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Verdana;"&gt;  not.  And if you have had lucid dreams then the dream control might interest &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Verdana;"&gt;  you.  And if you have ever experienced a lucid precognitive dream, let me &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Verdana;"&gt;  know as I am starting to find out it's not just me.  Several others have now &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Verdana;"&gt;  told me they have had them.   Just a symptom of consciousness evolution?  &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Verdana;"&gt;  Or are we finally starting to wake up? &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Verdana;"&gt; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a name="SHARED"&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;u&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Verdana;"&gt;SHARED DREAMS &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/u&gt;&lt;/b&gt;   &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Verdana;"&gt;       When your dreaming, it's nice to have company.  Old school thought was &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Verdana;"&gt;  when we dreamed, we dreamed alone in some subjective mixture of random &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Verdana;"&gt;  chaotic thought spawned by some wild out-of-control subconscious part of &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Verdana;"&gt;  us.  But then old school anything tends to not look much deeper than the &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Verdana;"&gt;  surface of physical reality.  Dreams are much more complex and much more &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Verdana;"&gt;  profound.  A shared dream is where you, and one of your friends or family, &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Verdana;"&gt;  perhaps even a stranger meet in a dream, share the same dream content   &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Verdana;"&gt;  and setting an wake up with enough clear, undistorted memory to verify it &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Verdana;"&gt;  with the other party involved. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Verdana;"&gt;      When I first shared a dream, I had no clue that I could.  Actually, until I &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Verdana;"&gt;  experienced any of these things, I had no idea.  It was all just another stone &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Verdana;"&gt;  that somehow I turned over and the benefits were spectacular.  For the first &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Verdana;"&gt;  time in my life, I could look face to face with a friend in the crazy realm of &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Verdana;"&gt;  my dreams, and fully know that they were there with me.  I have a close &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Verdana;"&gt;  friend to whom we have shared many dreams.  And it is no different that &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Verdana;"&gt;  going for coffee here in physical reality with your friend.  You both have your &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Verdana;"&gt;  usual objective points, and both have full memory of who you are, where you &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Verdana;"&gt;  are, and what you are doing.  Just this time your dreaming. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Verdana;"&gt;       Shared dreams are not limited to just one person, we can have group &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Verdana;"&gt;  shared dreams.  And from my research into lucid precognitive dreams, we can &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Verdana;"&gt;  share our dreams with an entire universe.  Is there any limit to dreaming?  &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Verdana;"&gt;  It's like asking infinity if there are any limits.  We have only physical rules &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Verdana;"&gt;  which we believe to be true to govern us.  They all break once we dream &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Verdana;"&gt;  because our thoughts become the rules.  Something to think about when you &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Verdana;"&gt;  ponder the fundamental laws of physics.  Are they just adhering to a random &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Verdana;"&gt;  pattern in chaos, or did something with supreme intelligence create them to &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Verdana;"&gt;  govern the conduct of an eternal universe?   Whatever it is, it's a naturally &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Verdana;"&gt;  occurring phenomena, so much that, it will become more common and &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Verdana;"&gt;  mainstream as we evolve.  Or as I prefer to state it, "Wake up.". &lt;/span&gt;   &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt; &lt;a name="NIGHTMARES"&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Verdana;"&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;u&gt;NIGHTMARES&lt;/u&gt;&lt;/b&gt; &lt;/span&gt;   &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Verdana;"&gt;       Actually, I like them, you may not.  Nightmares can scare the living crap &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Verdana;"&gt;  out of any of us.  These dreams hold the paralyzing fears we have stored &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Verdana;"&gt;  layer after layer in our jumbled consciousness.  To me, they are nothing &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Verdana;"&gt;  more than some crazy horror show gone haywire.  It's the realm of demons, &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Verdana;"&gt;  monsters, goblins, aliens, freak shows, murder, insanity, darkness.  It's the &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Verdana;"&gt;  realm of our deepest human fears struggling with our moral mind as to why &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Verdana;"&gt;  we think what we think. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Verdana;"&gt;      Nightmares force us to do two things, fight or flee.  They are patterned &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Verdana;"&gt;  after our survival instinct, and contain a warped Hollywood style to them &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Verdana;"&gt;  when our hellish &lt;/span&gt; &lt;span style="font-family:Verdana;"&gt;imagination getsthe better of us.  When I have a nightmare, I &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Verdana;"&gt;  just change them to something more desirable.  And if they get the better of &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Verdana;"&gt;  me, I usually laugh right in them because I know that it's just a silly dream &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Verdana;"&gt;  and I can change it at will.  But for my personal investigation into myself, &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Verdana;"&gt;  my nightmares reflected just only what I truly feared.  And when I realized &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Verdana;"&gt;  that I could exit in such a state as myself untouched by it all, the nightmare &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Verdana;"&gt;  was harmless.  Like a painter who got scared of the picture he painted.  We &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Verdana;"&gt;  still have control. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Verdana;"&gt;       I like nightmares for one basic fundamental.  They let us know we dream &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Verdana;"&gt;  in a very loud and clear way.  We may not like them, and it may detour the &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Verdana;"&gt;  timid from expanding forward with conscious exploration of the dreamstate.  &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Verdana;"&gt;  But if your not easily frightened or intimidated, you can have some real fun &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Verdana;"&gt;  with nightmares.  I tend to mimic some of my more earlier role models such &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Verdana;"&gt;  as Bug's Bunny's ability to stylishly deal with his vile villains.  And like a &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Verdana;"&gt;  villain, a nightmare can be turned into some really funny solution for problem &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Verdana;"&gt;  solving.  Nothing can hurt you if you don't let it.  Self-control and discipline &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Verdana;"&gt;  in dreaming is like achieving a black belt in karate.  You will now have effective &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Verdana;"&gt;  tools to deal with anything you don't want to dream about should you &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Verdana;"&gt;  willfully desire to control it. &lt;/span&gt;   &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt; &lt;a name="RECOMMENDED"&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;u&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Verdana;"&gt;RECOMMENDED READING &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/u&gt;&lt;/b&gt;   &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Verdana;"&gt;&lt;b&gt;  "Mutual Dreaming", by Linda Lane Magallon.&lt;/b&gt; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Verdana;"&gt;       This is the first book I have read where that has been a serious look into &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Verdana;"&gt;  shared dreams.  Linda Magallon is getting on the right track.  I think she's &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Verdana;"&gt;  touching a good nerve in the fact we can share dreams.  The book is one of &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Verdana;"&gt;  the very few books that I have read which I feel give you a good look at   &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Verdana;"&gt;  some of the possibilities. &lt;/span&gt;   &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Verdana;"&gt;  "Seth on Dreams and the Projection of Consciousness", by Jane Roberts. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Verdana;"&gt;       By far one of the best dream books I have read.  Seth is channeled &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Verdana;"&gt;  information which I tend to stay clear of, but in this case, I made every &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Verdana;"&gt;  exception.  What Jane Roberts reveals with Seth undeniably reflects in my &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Verdana;"&gt;  life, and in the lives of others.  It is no coincidence that this book was &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Verdana;"&gt;  written, it's a valuable resource for us all. &lt;/span&gt;   &lt;/p&gt; &lt;a name="ONLINE"&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;u&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Verdana;"&gt;ONLINE SOURCES &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/u&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Verdana;"&gt;    &lt;a href="http://www.dreamgate.com/dream/resources/online97.htm"&gt;Dreams and Dreaming Links&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/span&gt;  &lt;span style="font-family:Verdana;"&gt;This is a complete list of the majority of      &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Verdana;"&gt;                                            dreamsites.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/1818683220437348242-3365205341515160550?l=you-are-dreaming.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://you-are-dreaming.blogspot.com/feeds/3365205341515160550/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://you-are-dreaming.blogspot.com/2010/08/this-is-article-that-was-on-my-old.html#comment-form' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/1818683220437348242/posts/default/3365205341515160550'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/1818683220437348242/posts/default/3365205341515160550'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://you-are-dreaming.blogspot.com/2010/08/this-is-article-that-was-on-my-old.html' title='And old article from my defunct Geocities site.'/><author><name>Ian Wilson</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/09312115730377763162</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1818683220437348242.post-6881396379410205908</id><published>2010-08-05T06:25:00.001-07:00</published><updated>2010-08-05T06:25:54.664-07:00</updated><title type='text'>August 3rd, 2010  Lucid Dream</title><content type='html'>August 3, 2010&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Had a very interesting potentially re-occurring dream that I was in an Egyptian tomb.  The dream took on two parts; the investigation of the tomb.  Then the reflection on what I found in the tomb with a friend.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The tomb was crowded with lots of items and I was basically walking from chamber to chamber looking at everything.  It seemed to be well illuminated for a tomb; I had no flash-light and no idea where the light source was coming from.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I would emerge from the tomb then tell a friend about it; re-living the memory of the dream as I told him what I found.  Visually it had some nice artifacts and realism to it.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Time-To-Bed: 12:00am&lt;br /&gt;Time-Awake: 3:36am&lt;br /&gt;Time-To-Sleep: ~30m&lt;br /&gt;Total Time Slept: ~4h 28m&lt;br /&gt;Total Estimated time: ~5h 0m&lt;br /&gt;Time Gained: ~ 38m&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I am working at an office in an office building with a parkade.  I am doing software development as usual.  I'm working for a couple of hours and get up and leave.  I am walking on a road and realize I am dreaming.  I become fully lucid and start to levitate to affirm it's a dream.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;There are two teenagers who start heckling me.  I look at them and I make a rude gesture.  They laugh and follow me flying as well.  I am flying over a town, it might be Penticton BC.  But is over-grown with other buildings that simply do not exist there.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;One kid has orange hair, the other has brown.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I land and the kids are now middle-aged men.  The red-haired man was very familiar to me; and it was very hard to pull a reference but I recognized him as Skip Atwaters from TMI.  The other man I did not recognize although he was familiar as well but no idea who this would be in waking life.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Being fully conscious I was very curios as to why I would be having a dream with Skip Atwaters and I turned to him and said, “Hi Skip.  Nice to meet you here.”&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;“You know who I am?”, he asks.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;“Yes, we have met before.  Never physically mind you, always here”, I tell him.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The other man is really tripping my familiarity radar and I look at him but draw a blank.  When I refocus there are now about 12 people there all of them middle-aged or older.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;There is a female with red-brown hair and glasses.  We are suddenly at a table and I sit down on a chair.&lt;br /&gt;Everyone is sitting down and the one man I cannot recognize starts to speak.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;“It's nice to see so many of you here.”, he says.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I start to re-affirm that I am awake and lucid.  I am curious as to who my guests are and why we are engaged in this conversation.  However I am getting signals that I am waking up.  The usual interruptions however I anchor myself in the dream.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I grab the edge of the table with one hand, and I grab the arm of the chair with the other.  I meld my hands into the dream objects, and even small fractal roots seem to emerge into the hypnogogia patterns I often reveal when in this state.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I make a comment like, “Great, hopefully everyone can render a clear perception of each other if we are all mutually here.”&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The one man then turns to me, “I knew it was you.  I knew I could find you.”&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;“I am not sure if I know you or not.  You are familiar but can't place your name.  Everyone here seems familiar but I don't know any of your from my waking life.  I'm also waking up so I don't have much time left.”. I explain.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;“We all just wanted to meet you and say hi.”, he said.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;“Why?”, I ask.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;“Well, we are all friends here.  Just wanted to check in and see how you are doing.”, he explains.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I smile, “Always room for improvement but I have to be going now”&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I stand up and the dream is shifting, as much as I try to stay the call of waking up is tearing away at the dream.  I try to fly out a window and land on the ground.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Next thing I know I open my eyes and my baby is pressing a foot into me.  I look at the clock and  less then an hour passed.  It felt like I was asleep for hours and took me a long time to fall asleep. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Time-To-Bed: 4:46am&lt;br /&gt;Time-Awake: 5:34am&lt;br /&gt;Time-To-sleep: ~20m&lt;br /&gt;Total Time Slept: ~28m&lt;br /&gt;Total Estimated time: ~2h 0m&lt;br /&gt;Time Gained: ~ 38m&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I'm still tired so instead of getting up and going back to sleep.  I make mental notes of the dream and fall right back into the dream.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;This time I am at the same place in the office where I am working.  There are clothes and food wrappers all over the floor.  The place is a total mess.  It's like I have been living there and not caring.  I tell myself that we need to take the time to clean up the office.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I kick a pair of sweat pants out of the way to make some room on the floor to walk on.  I am disgusted by the mess and realize it's not just me who contributed to it. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I leave the office and go to an arcade.  There is a video game that costs 10 quarters to play and it's a 3D first person shooter.  I get a roll of quarters and put the entire roll in.  There are some obvious inconsistencies with real-life arcade coin-slots and this one.  For example it was like a conveyor belt that you slid the quarter in and push them up rather then down.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;There was a sliver dollar jammed in it that I had to clear out.  After putting in all my quarters I still didn't have any credit and complained to the staff who in turn pointed out that I had to press the start button and the credits then came on the screen.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;It seemed like a big rip off but I wanted to play so away I went in the training section.  You had friendlies that you couldn't shoot and terrorists that you could shoot.  I basically shot anything that moved and ended up loosing my first game rather quickly.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;For $2.50 a pop, I wasn't very happy about a few moments of game play.  I pay more attention this time and start to pick off the actual targets.  They are popping out everywhere.  The game shifts so that I am holding a real-life sniper rifle and not the game rifle attached to the game.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I shoot out the base of a motor and this causes some funny interactions in the dream.  This terrorist wants to know how I was able to shoot that from such a long range.  They start setting up long-range targets and having me shoot at them.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I am woken up again, don't check the clock and roll over to go back to sleep.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The next dream is fairly lucid and I kind of know I am dreaming but seem more semi-lucid then fully lucid.  I am with a new neighbor who is a devout fundamental Christian.  We are outside on my patio talking and he decides he wants to share his greatest gift with me.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;He comes back with this large Bible and asks me if I have found Christ yet.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;“Well, there is something that I have to tell you.  You may not believe me and it might make you think less of me once I do.”, I tell him.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;We have already made some progress as friends so he says there is nothing I can do that would be problematic for us.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;He opens up the bible and starts to seek out some passages. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;“I have to tell you that what I have experienced seems to contradict what is in the Bible, but I have no choice but to accept what I have experienced as being real at least to me.”, I tell him.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;“What is it that you experienced?”, he asks.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;“Well, it's really hard to explain because your beliefs will simply reject what I am about to say, I don't mean to run around saying it just I know the impact is going to shape your judgement of me.”, I tell him.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;“I remember existing before this life.  I remember being another human that died and then reincarnated into this life.  This is something I have known since I can remember.  I remember being as  young as two years old an knowing this fact.”, I explained.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;“You are right, the bible certainly doesn't say anything about reincarnation.  How do you know this is true or not?”, he asks.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;“It's complicated, I know because the experience was so vivid and part of my earliest memories.  It is not a belief I just came into in my life.”, I explain.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;“That doesn't mean I don't believe in God or think that God is not a part of all of this.  It just means that how I view the reality of God is different then how others might view God.  That said, at least I know God exists and there is a greater reality of God.”.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;He looks at me, “Well, at least you believe in God so that is a good start.  What you really need is Christ.”&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;“I have no doubts in what you are trying to say.  I have read the bible three times.  I am familiar with what it presents.”, I tell him. “Have you ever had a dream that one day later came true?  You know, precognition?”&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;He looks at me and nods, “Yes I have, a few times as a matter of fact.”&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;“This is something written in the scriptures, Joel 2:28 where God said that he would pour his spirit upon man and his sons and daughters will have visions and man will dream dreams.”&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;He found that very interesting that I brought it up and wanted me to find it in his Bible.  I started flipping through and noticed it had interesting books that I have never read before, and sections on excorsism and even a section on the paranormal. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;My wife came out and for some reason had a frying pan and placed it on top of the open book, cooking grease stained the page and dripped on the top. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I was very apologetic to my new neighbor and tried to clean-up the grease.  There was no question we had damaged his book and by the looks of it, it was quite a family heirloom.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;He was understanding and forgiving and took his book back to see if he could get it clean.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Time-To-Bed: 5:35am&lt;br /&gt;Time-Awake: 7:50am&lt;br /&gt;Time-To-Sleep: ~5m&lt;br /&gt;Total Time Slept: ~2h 10m&lt;br /&gt;Total Estimated time: ~1h 20m&lt;br /&gt;Time Gained: ~ - 50m&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/1818683220437348242-6881396379410205908?l=you-are-dreaming.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://you-are-dreaming.blogspot.com/feeds/6881396379410205908/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://you-are-dreaming.blogspot.com/2010/08/august-3rd-2010-lucid-dream.html#comment-form' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/1818683220437348242/posts/default/6881396379410205908'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/1818683220437348242/posts/default/6881396379410205908'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://you-are-dreaming.blogspot.com/2010/08/august-3rd-2010-lucid-dream.html' title='August 3rd, 2010  Lucid Dream'/><author><name>Ian Wilson</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/09312115730377763162</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1818683220437348242.post-8026973338472810931</id><published>2010-08-02T10:55:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2010-08-02T11:05:01.382-07:00</updated><title type='text'>Drinking and Dreaming Doesn't Mix.</title><content type='html'>We have a long weekend and my Wife and I decided to indulge in a few drinks and watch a couple of movies.  Usually I limit myself to a couple of drinks if I am more interested in dreaming that night.  In this case I drank more then this limit and the effects devastated dream recall.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I still dreamed, and remember very vague fragments however the bulk of the dreaming is really locked in amnesia.  The addition to alcohol clearly played a role in disrupting the fine balance between waking and sleeping memory required to yield any valuable results.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;That said, my Wife who is my polar-opposite when it comes to dreaming and dream phenomenology told me she had a dream that seemed to last a couple of days.  She described that we were in Las Vegas and spending time there sleeping and waking up in the dream.  She described lots of activities and when I asked if she felt that the time seemed to span two days she said yes.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;She reminded me however that as interesting as that was, it means nothing to her waking life because it was just a dream and left it at that.  When I first met her, she seldom dreamed and if she did it was the same re-occurring dream where she was chased and abused by people she knew.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;It wasn't until a couple of years ago that she seemed to resolve this and started to have newer dream experiences.  This is the first time she has reported a dream spanning days to me.  And considering my failure to produce something of this nature today; I thought I would share her spontaneous success.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Another interesting synchronicity is my mother also reported this weekend that just recently she started having dreams spanning days in her short naps.  She works during the night and has interrupted sleep during the day.  I found what she said fascinating because it seemed to occur within the time that I started blogging and exploring the potential for temporal illusions in dreams.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I simply encouraged her to enjoy these mini-vacations and grow with the experiences.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/1818683220437348242-8026973338472810931?l=you-are-dreaming.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://you-are-dreaming.blogspot.com/feeds/8026973338472810931/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://you-are-dreaming.blogspot.com/2010/08/drinking-and-dreaming-doesnt-mix.html#comment-form' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/1818683220437348242/posts/default/8026973338472810931'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/1818683220437348242/posts/default/8026973338472810931'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://you-are-dreaming.blogspot.com/2010/08/drinking-and-dreaming-doesnt-mix.html' title='Drinking and Dreaming Doesn&apos;t Mix.'/><author><name>Ian Wilson</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/09312115730377763162</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1818683220437348242.post-2470844170321992104</id><published>2010-08-01T10:43:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2010-08-01T10:54:03.009-07:00</updated><title type='text'>The First Dream of August.</title><content type='html'>&lt;span style="font-weight: bold; font-family: arial;font-size:130%;" &gt;August 1st, 2010&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: arial;"&gt;Had another really long dream that seemed to span at least a couple of days.  This is before my WBTB method.  I'm very thrilled to see this effect of dilated time.  Just so readers know; I have been working on this long before the movie Inception.  In &lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;1990&lt;/span&gt;, I had my first taste of this potential in a 30 minute nap that seemed to last 2 weeks.  It was a lucid dream and that planted the seed that this could become a goal in dreaming to cultivate time.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: arial;"&gt;On &lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;Sat May 30, 2009&lt;/span&gt; I posted a question on a forum to see who else has had this type of experience.  &lt;a href="http://my-big-toe.com/phpBB34/viewtopic.php?p=9796"&gt;[LINK]&lt;/a&gt; and I was already well into the process of extending time in dreams.  The phenomena of time in dreams by no means is a new concept.  What makes this post date significant is I have been trying to extend time in dreams aggressively during this time period.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: arial;"&gt;When I wrote the article for my Blog, “&lt;a href="http://you-are-dreaming.blogspot.com/2010/07/dreaming-century-of-time-during-one.html"&gt;Dreaming a "Century of Time" During one Night of Sleep.”&lt;/a&gt;  it was part of a set of articles I had been working on and flushing out since &lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;June 25, 2010&lt;/span&gt; when I first wrote my current article on&lt;a href="http://you-are-dreaming.blogspot.com/2010/07/lucid-dreaming-techniques.html"&gt; “Lucid Dreaming Techniques”&lt;/a&gt;.    The movie &lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;Inception &lt;/span&gt;was a very uncanny &lt;span style="font-weight: bold; font-style: italic;"&gt;synchronicity &lt;/span&gt;with my work; and was the Blog that prompted me to finish of all my articles and get them online for the &lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;benefit &lt;/span&gt;of the dream community.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: arial;"&gt;In &lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;1998&lt;/span&gt;, I wrote an e-book entitled “&lt;a href="http://home.kabelfoon.nl/%7Ejeekelen/class/c-cons/consciousness-wilson.html"&gt;A Course on Consciousness&lt;/a&gt;”  that covered some of what Inception covers and a lot more in regards to dream phenomenology and the potential we have to grow through dreaming and being conscious.   Have a look at the book and you will see it covers &lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;Lucid Dreaming&lt;/span&gt; and &lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;Shared Dreaming&lt;/span&gt; extensively.  What some people may not know, this is a revised version of an earlier book that inspired a more rigid course found here &lt;a href="http://ianwilson.netlucid.info/"&gt;http://ianwilson.netlucid.info/&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: arial;"&gt;In 1994 I wrote an article entitled, “&lt;a href="http://web.archive.org/web/19970216023207/http://www.spiritweb.org/Spirit/obe-wilson.html"&gt;A Look At Lucid Dreaming and&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;a href="http://web.archive.org/web/19970216023207/http://www.spiritweb.org/Spirit/obe-wilson.html"&gt; &lt;/a&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: arial;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://web.archive.org/web/19970216023207/http://www.spiritweb.org/Spirit/obe-wilson.html"&gt;Out Of Body Experiences&lt;/a&gt;”     which I can now only find on the web archives.  &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: arial;"&gt;There are many more articles that I have written over the years lost in time on the Internet.  My interest in lucid dreaming started in &lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;1987 &lt;/span&gt;when I had my first lucid dream thanks to an article written by &lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;Stephen LaBerge&lt;/span&gt;.  When you are wondering why in &lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;2010 &lt;/span&gt;after &lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;Inception &lt;/span&gt;that you are encountering my work and it covers similar concepts presented in the movie; I think you will find it's because lucid dreaming has been part of my reality for over 23 years.   &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: arial;"&gt;Why does it seem I am having dreams lasting days nearly every night?  Hopefully the above history will help clarify that in no way is this a new experience for me.  I have been at this for a long time.  You might notice a trend that all my material has been free to the public since &lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;1994&lt;/span&gt;.  My motivation has always been about helping others share in this amazing gift of being conscious as I realize that all of my experiences have had a reward far greater then any money.  My desire to share these experiences are merely to connect with others with similar experiences as I realize in not sharing then I take a vast wealth of knowledge and experience to my grave. &lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt; No one would ever know the difference.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: arial;"&gt;There's my motivation and why in 2010 I have set-up a blog since my website hosted at &lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;Geocities&lt;/span&gt; no longer exists and more and more sites hosting my articles have gone the way of the dinosaur.  I feel with Inception and the uncanny synchronicity with my new articles; and that people are saying it's because of &lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;Inception&lt;/span&gt;, I wanted to clear the smoke and show just how long I have published similar concepts; &lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;1994 &lt;/span&gt;and &lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;onward&lt;/span&gt;.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: arial;"&gt;More importantly I hope that my material benefits you in some way; even if all it does is encourages your growth as a lucid dreamer, or leads you to better and more beneficial information.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: arial;"&gt;Now on to today's pre-WBTB dream session.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;font-size:130%;" &gt;Non-Lucid Dream - Seemed to span 2 days.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: arial;"&gt;This was another work related dream where I was developing two Facebook games that involved some level of RPG and character development.  There was a lot of dreaming here but it seemed I can pick up two days worth in  memory; although the sense of time seems to be roughly 5 hours worth with fast-forwards and what I can recall.  There is a lot more dreams that I can't recall because this one really stretched the sense-of-time and they are now very layered under unconscious memory.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: arial;"&gt;At one point in developing the games I went with friends to play with fireworks.  We had bought a lot of them and were at a lake blasting them over the water.  Some person came up to us and said they were going to report us to the police.  We said we were doing it on a beach over water so doubt the police would do anything.  We were being responsible.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: arial;"&gt;We finished the evening and I went to sleep.  Waking back up in the same dream, I simply continued working on the games flushing out items and the virtual world currency.  I had a friend who was visiting and wanting to give me all sorts of advice for the game.  I told him that these games will be fun to play and could generate some nice income.  Lot of the dream recall is really just items, a spread sheet and calculating the items effect in the game system before I woke up.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: arial;"&gt;Time-To-Bed: &lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;10:40pm&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: arial;"&gt;Time-Awake: &lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;4:32am&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: arial;"&gt;Time-To-Sleep: &lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;~30m&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: arial;"&gt;Total Time Slept: &lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;~4h 28m&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: arial;"&gt;Total Estimated time: &lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;~5h 0m&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: arial;"&gt;Time Gained: &lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;~ 38m&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:130%;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: arial; font-weight: bold;"&gt;WBTB Method&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: arial;"&gt;This was a bit tough to do, the baby was restless so kicking me in the face, waking up and crying.  Eventually I had to go to the couch to see if I could try there but by this time the sun was up and it &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: arial;"&gt;It was so hard to even fall asleep with sunlight in the face.  I was trying to flow into the dream consciously using WILD (Waking Induced Lucid Dreaming).    I eventually had to just drop to sleep and rely on MILD (Which is Mnemonic Induced Lucid Dreaming).  I still managed to dream but it wasn't lucid; and when I woke up I had memory collapse so all that information was so hard to recover.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;font-size:130%;" &gt;&lt;span style="font-family: arial;"&gt;The Dream.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: arial;"&gt;Finally I remembered working on this toy construction kit with a friend and his son.  We were building an airplane with this construction sticks and thin plywood.  My friend was hiding the costs of his hobby from his wife because he liked to buy expensive tools and materials to build his models.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: arial;"&gt;There was another component in this dream that took place where the dream world seemed to exist as a light white and pastel pink hue.  Almost like a light-based system and I was talking with a female energy being.  As hard as I might try to recover this info it's really fragmented and ghost like.  Having a rough ride into sleep certainly did not pay off.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: arial;"&gt;Time-to-bed:&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt; 6:46am&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: arial;"&gt;Time-Awake:&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt; 9:20am&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: arial;"&gt;Time-To-Sleep: &lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;~1h 30m&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: arial;"&gt;Total Time Slept: &lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;~1h 4m&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: arial;"&gt;Total Estimated time: &lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;~20m&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: arial;"&gt;Time Gained:&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt; ~ -44m&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;font-size:130%;" &gt;&lt;span style="font-family: arial;"&gt;Thoughts&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: arial;"&gt;This is why having a healthy dreaming environment is so critical.  At least, if you want results with dreaming and not sleeping.  If I ever have the money to fix my circumstances, I want to build a dream incubation chamber that has sound-proofing, no lights, a comfortable bed, and filtered ventilation.  One day.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: arial;"&gt;As sensory-reduced as possible.   Some place I can go any time of the day when I want to have a nap and dream.  It would be the ideal place to incubate interesting dreams. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/1818683220437348242-2470844170321992104?l=you-are-dreaming.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://you-are-dreaming.blogspot.com/feeds/2470844170321992104/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://you-are-dreaming.blogspot.com/2010/08/first-dream-of-august.html#comment-form' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/1818683220437348242/posts/default/2470844170321992104'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/1818683220437348242/posts/default/2470844170321992104'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://you-are-dreaming.blogspot.com/2010/08/first-dream-of-august.html' title='The First Dream of August.'/><author><name>Ian Wilson</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/09312115730377763162</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1818683220437348242.post-1788279430766730303</id><published>2010-07-31T10:19:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2010-07-31T10:21:50.001-07:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='dreaming'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='ian wilson'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='inception'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='youaredreaming'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='time'/><title type='text'>Todays Dream - July 31, 2010 Non-lucid.</title><content type='html'>&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;font-size:130%;" &gt;&lt;span style="font-family: arial;"&gt;July 31, 2010&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: arial;"&gt;My baby was sick today, so that kind of put a damper on my dreaming.  I decided it was a good chance to just let-go of trying to dream to see how time perception would play out.  I thought maybe just taking enough effort to log key phrases and just remember would be enough.  It would also be an interesting control to see how applying focus, attitude and intent during a sleeping phase is affecting my dream awareness and recall.  &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: arial;"&gt;Here are the results.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:130%;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: arial; font-weight: bold;"&gt;Dream 1&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: arial;"&gt;This was an interesting dream because it had no physical symbols and was very abstract computational.  The dream was in a creamy white backdrop with blocks of data that I was sorting out.  What I was doing was connecting personal experience with articles I had read and information that was being researched.  It was a connect the dots of experience and objective research.  &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: arial;"&gt;I would take a block of experience and connect lines like an object graph to other memories I had with other information I had read.  It was all done in this 2D view with no real waking awareness.  Something my unconscious was very busy doing and I simply was able to remember.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: arial;"&gt;There was a switch to another dream.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;font-size:130%;" &gt;&lt;span style="font-family: arial;"&gt;Dream 2&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: arial;"&gt;Another dream seemed to just be about the local area where I live in the complex. Nothing really fancy, I think I was just talking to a neighbor.  She was telling me something but I wasn't able to recall the conversation when I was awoken by the baby.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: arial;"&gt;Time-To-Bed: 12:00am&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: arial;"&gt;Time-Awoke: 1:45am&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: arial;"&gt;Time-Till-Sleep: ~30m&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: arial;"&gt;Total Time Slept: ~1h 15m&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: arial;"&gt;Total Time Dreaming: ~30m&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: arial;"&gt;Time Gained: -45m&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: arial;"&gt;This is where I found out our baby was sick; woke us up crying then threw up on the bed. Poor girl. *sadface*  &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: arial;"&gt;I stayed up for a few hours to keep an eye on her and make sure she was ok before going back to sleep.  By then I was really tired.  One thing to note is I woke up with what I call waking induced amnesia.  My daughter pinched my back really hard for some reason.  She does stuff like this when she wakes up and well, I don't. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: arial;"&gt;I wake up and care for her first then realize I had dreamed something and forgot.  What I did was work on finding just one key word, one memory to see if I could recover any dreams.  Finally I was able to get just one mental picture and everything was deconstructed by following that dream backwards and forwards into all the other dreams I had.  &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: arial;"&gt;So just note, if you don't remember any dreams when you wake up, there is hope. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:130%;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: arial; font-weight: bold;"&gt;Dream 3&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: arial;"&gt;I was at a technology conference walking around in this really nice hotel.  We were networking and talking with people exchanging business cards.  My friend who was with me was really emphasizing on how important networking really is to our business.  How we really need to connect with others and find how we can all benefit with what our niche interests are.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: arial;"&gt;We go to the buffet room.  I saw a dessert table and the spread looked amazing; really ornate and sculpted deserts.  Clear that they used molds to shape certain types of foods then decorated and topped them off with different fruit slices and icing etc.  I was afraid to even eat any because it was so artistic.  I just stood there in awe at how much work and effort must have gone into this spread.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: arial;"&gt;I walk over to the food table and grab a plate.  There is Zach Galifianakis as Alan from the movie Hangover.  Why I am having Hangover dreams right now is beyond me but welcome to the dream world.  He is filling his plate with potato salad and I tell him, “Save some food for the rest of us Alan!”&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: arial;"&gt;He dips his finger and scoops the salad into his mouth and mumbles with a hint of a wine, “But I really like potato salad.” He frowns and I laugh at him.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: arial;"&gt;“I'm just giving you a hard time, enjoy your salad.”, I said.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: arial;"&gt;He smiles and is eating it with his hands and I laugh.  “You can probably be less savage when you it mind you; man has invented forks by now.”&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: arial;"&gt;He looks embarrassed, looking at me in the eyes he gives me a funny look walks to the table, looks at me as he picks up a fork, flicks it up into focus between our stare and in a very animated way stabs it into the salad and eats with a fork.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: arial;"&gt;We sit down together at a table and he says something really funny and I can't remember it.  Then this lady walks over; I know her from real life so will just use her initial “J”.  &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: arial;"&gt;Alan says, “I didn't know you guys got me a hooker!  This is awesome!”.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: arial;"&gt;J looks totally offended and I laugh, “She's my friend.  I guess she's coming over to say hi.”.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: arial;"&gt;Alan says, “Dammit, I really wanted to have sex with her.”&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: arial;"&gt;My other friend says, “Don't worry she'll probably want to have sex with you anyways, and at least you don't have to pay for it.”&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: arial;"&gt;J gets mad and she tells them to shut up or she will kick their asses.  I know they are both joking but she doesn't approve of it.  I tell her they are joking and she says, “Oh yeah, well tell them if they don't smarten up I will beat them up like this.” and she starts to hit me on the shoulder.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: arial;"&gt;“You hit like a girl”, I told her.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: arial;"&gt;She gets mad and really starts to hit hard and it doesn't hurt at all.  “Now I know what fluffing a pillow feels like” I tell her.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: arial;"&gt;Alan pipes in, “You have really nice arm action, maybe you can punch my shaft like that.”&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: arial;"&gt;I tell him, “She's got great hand-eye coordination.  Must be all the video games.”&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: arial;"&gt;She laughs, “You guy's are silly.”&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: arial;"&gt;That is all I can recover from that dream, there was more however.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:130%;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: arial; font-weight: bold;"&gt;Dream 4&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: arial;"&gt;This was kind of a sad dream.  I am in Penticton B.C. For a funeral.  Apparently a friend of mine perhaps someone in my graduating class had died.  The details are really faint so it was hard to get at specifics.  What I could remember was that it was a male, he was driving in a car that had gotten into an accident with a semi-truck and was stuck on the driver-side door.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: arial;"&gt;We had a funeral schedule.  I think my friend Bob was driving the car we were in.  We drove past the old cemetery and had to drive to the one up near Munson Mountain.  It was a full-casket burial with the whole lowering of the casket.  I recognized my brother-in-law there and we talked.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: arial;"&gt;He said, “No one likes a funeral.”&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: arial;"&gt;I told him, “Tell me about it.  Death is really the end of something wonderful for us all.  However, I really feel strongly we exist afterwards.”&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: arial;"&gt;“Yeah, I like to think that too”, he said.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: arial;"&gt;That was about all I could recover from that dream.... hopefully it's not precognitive in anyway.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: arial;"&gt;Dream 5&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: arial;"&gt;This is a more fun dream as it involves my 18 month old daughter and a fun amusement park where we could play.  She was jumping in one of the inflatable style houses that was actually the size of an open room built in as part of the park.  She started getting scared of the other kids so I had to scoop down and pick her up.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:130%;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: arial; font-weight: bold;"&gt;Dream 6&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: arial;"&gt;In this dream, I had some some strange Velcro that I was putting over my zipper.  It made absolutely no sense.  It had a glue backing that stuck to my jeans and Velcro on the front.  As to what the heck is supposed to attach to it... well your guess is as good as mine.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: arial;"&gt;I just remember walking near a park attaching the Velcro thinking my wife will like my new zipper.  However it clearly could not ever function as one.  Just an abstract tangle of weirdness in this dream.. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: arial;"&gt;Time-to-bed: 3:55am&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: arial;"&gt;time-awoke: 5:56 am&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: arial;"&gt;Time-Till-Sleep: ~30m&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: arial;"&gt;Total Time Slept: ~1h 31m&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: arial;"&gt;Total Time Dreaming: ~2h 0m (Hard to guage due to memory collapse) &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: arial;"&gt;Time Gained: ~29m&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: arial;"&gt; Woken up by baby as usual... &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:130%;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: arial; font-weight: bold;"&gt;Dream 7&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: arial;"&gt;At nice mansion that my family bought.  It is a multi-house complex that has accommodation for my Dad, my Sister, my Brother and my family.  I had a nice office where I could work on developing applications for mobile devices like iPhone, Android and Internet Applications.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: arial;"&gt;I wanted a place where I could work late in the evening and not disturb anyone.  The office had two adjoining rooms; I loved it.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: arial;"&gt;There was a really nice computer desk, and an art table.  I had a printer.  Everything I needed to work in peace and get productivity with my time.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: arial;"&gt;I had a client that was interested in my services, he was a film producer and also a fan of all the dream research I was doing.  Apparently he liked dreaming just as much as I did and found my blog very interesting and useful to his own personal journey.  I believe he was East Indian and was great to talk with on the phone.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: arial;"&gt;My brother was at the mansion with me he was going over some interesting designs for a game.  He had large poster sized story boards and concepts written down.  We were putting them on the wall.  I showed him all the concept code to support the game development.  We looked at all the different ways we could take the game to market.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: arial;"&gt;The mansion was like several adjoining houses that each family could live in.  There was also a very larger garage that my sister had taken over for her business and she was making hoola-hoops and other crafts to sell and was quite happy doing so.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: arial;"&gt;The property was not as beautiful as the mansion; landscaping was not done and it seemed rather secluded and up on a hill.  I did however love it.  It was all very wonderful because I had this genuine sense of ownership and loved having all the family there.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: arial;"&gt;My wife also had her sister and son living there as well.  We were all trying to co-exist as a community and family.  It was a nice dream. One you wake up from wishing was true because it simply would be awesome if it was.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: arial;"&gt;Time-to-Bed: 6:15am&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: arial;"&gt;Time-Awake: 8:30am&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: arial;"&gt;Time-Till-Sleep: ~20m&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: arial;"&gt;Total Time Slept: ~1h 45m&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: arial;"&gt;Total Time Dreaming: ~1h   &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: arial;"&gt;Time Gained: ~45m&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: arial;"&gt;As you can see; not applying any techniques or interest in dreaming short of minimal recall certainly seems to reduce the quality of the dreams.  However, I cannot dismiss that dreaming always happens;  it's how we engage the dream experience that reveals the quality of the results.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/1818683220437348242-1788279430766730303?l=you-are-dreaming.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://you-are-dreaming.blogspot.com/feeds/1788279430766730303/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://you-are-dreaming.blogspot.com/2010/07/todays-dream-july-31-2010-non-lucid.html#comment-form' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/1818683220437348242/posts/default/1788279430766730303'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/1818683220437348242/posts/default/1788279430766730303'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://you-are-dreaming.blogspot.com/2010/07/todays-dream-july-31-2010-non-lucid.html' title='Todays Dream - July 31, 2010 Non-lucid.'/><author><name>Ian Wilson</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/09312115730377763162</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1818683220437348242.post-1315083641969395638</id><published>2010-07-30T11:00:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2010-07-30T11:07:29.056-07:00</updated><title type='text'>Living days in my dreams - Continuing saga of Time in Dreams.</title><content type='html'>&lt;span style="font-family: arial;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;font-size:130%;" &gt;July 30, 2010&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: arial;"&gt;When I am waking up, I have decided to also include my dreams that I can recall before I start the WBTB method of dreaming.  I am noticing some interesting info seems to come in these dreams so I want to capture them and render them into textual format.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: arial;"&gt;If you are new to the Blog, you might want to read “&lt;a href="http://you-are-dreaming.blogspot.com/2010/07/dreaming-century-of-time-during-one.html"&gt;Dreaming a 'Century of Time' During One Night of Sleep&lt;/a&gt;” and “&lt;a href="http://you-are-dreaming.blogspot.com/2010/07/lucid-dreaming-techniques.html"&gt;Lucid Dreaming Techniques&lt;/a&gt;” before continuing.  My current dream goal is to have an epic vertical of time that reaches the title of thread.  So far, I am definitely cultivating time in dreams.   However, there are certain details which suggest much of the time is fast-forwards and memory lapses.  There is no question of lots of gained sense of time; as to how effective and acute this is can only be confirmed with further study and research.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: arial;"&gt;My dream log will include dreams that occur before I apply the desired intent; in the final dream where I use the WBTB method (Wake-Back-To-Bed) covered in the above technique posting and try to log as much detail as I can recall with estimates of time.  There clearly are areas where there are memory lapses, the dream seems to fast-foward and skip to new sections.  The fast-forward could just be memory lapse or deliberate it is starting to appear that it is genuine fast-fowarding.  Regardless of this time-killing limit; in 50 minutes of sleep I can wake up with hours and hours of dreams.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: arial;"&gt;These are dreams that occur before I apply the WBTB technique.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:130%;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: arial; font-weight: bold;"&gt;Dream 1 &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: arial;"&gt;This was an interesting dream that had a fun plot where my Father was living in the USA, he was working with the President of the United States as a spiritual adviser as part of a Secret Society where he was a high-ranking official (Nothing could be further from the truth, this is pure fantasy and dream fabrication... my father in waking life is a great person; humble and hard working.  No secrets here).&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: arial;"&gt;The dream started with a strange journey of food with my 18mo daughter.  We were traveling down a gravel road by a river.  I was foraging for food and found a small two foot patch that had onions and garlic.  I harvested some of the items.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: arial;"&gt;There was an abandoned cabin that I crawled through the window and opened up so my Daughter and I could have shelter.  We gathered in side and had onion and garlic soup and slept.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: arial;"&gt;This triggered a loop so the exact above dream repeated itself one more time.  &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: arial;"&gt;The second time we sleep and wake up, I am in Pennsylvania at an old Masonic lodge.  My daughter is not with me.  This is where I find out about my father, I tell the person at the lodge who I am and who my father is.  They tell me how high-ranking he is and let me in.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: arial;"&gt;I walk up and there is Hilary Clinton there.  She is happy to see me and excited that we finally get to meet.  She said she heard so much about me and thinks it's marvelous to have both my Father and I working with the President.  I shake her hand and tell her that I am having Deja Vu.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: arial;"&gt;She asks me how I know it's Deja Vu and I tell her I just know.  This triggers some lucid awareness and I stop looking at her curious face and decide to show her.  This is where the dream got very interesting.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: arial;"&gt;I stopped the dream and it became a kaleidoscope of colored textures and I started to move into the data until pockets of images appeared faded and mixed in the kaleidoscope.  Imagine a multidimensional fractal with many nodes and threads of information all interconnected in a way that is not to different from the Mandelbrot Set.  Except you can move in any direction and each direction has data and information that when you stop and look at it forms visual information.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: arial;"&gt;I was moving through one stream moving through the data and stopped at a scene with two zebras in it.  I pause for a second and keep moving until I get to this dream.  It was very interesting to look at the data of the dream from this perspective, I could slow it down, move it forward and when I found it, I was said, “Aha, here's the source of the Deja Vu”.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: arial;"&gt;I am fascinated by this database and I look at what is going to happen next, I watch myself leave and go down a flight of stairs to a basement.  There is this little demon creature that has a cartoon face like a half-demon / half-dragon.  It's olive green with a short stubby body almost like a miniature T-Rex, lizard like with a tail.  &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: arial;"&gt;It is following me but I didn't notice it until I had this third-person view, and it was trying to influence me in the precog.  I could move into this data and be there first-person, move back out and watch it third-person.  The demon creature didn't succeed in influencing me.  The whole time I am having wave after wave of deja; as to what type of deja this might be, I'll have to ask a friend.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: arial;"&gt;When I fast forward, I get attacked by two people in the basement who think I am there to attack them.  I watch us fight.  I rewind and go into that point and change the dream so that in stead of fighting, I talk with them and peacefully resolve their fear without violence.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: arial;"&gt;I rewind to the part where the demon tries to influence the fight and enter the dream.  This time I turn and look at the demon and smile and pat it on the head, “You cannot influence me, I have free will.” and I affectionate treat it like a child and am kind and compassionate with it.  It responds to this positively and becomes happy and leaves.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: arial;"&gt;I started to recognize that this was a probability field within the database, that there were certain probability points and it seemed to have massive amounts of data in these small node like threads that made up the fractal kaleidoscope effect.  The colors where all soft pastel and light, it was beautiful as a textured pattern and fun to traverse.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: arial;"&gt;I could move left/right/up/down... it was like seeing the Schrodinger's cat thought paradox brought to life in this amazingly detailed animated database.  I was overwhelmed with excitement at having realized this is a natural method for accessing dream memory but slightly disappointed that   The phone rang; interrupting this interaction.  I wish it had not, this was felt like valuable information.  My wife's father called at 1:28am waking me up.  He lives in Zimbabwe so the timezone is an issue.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: arial;"&gt;However that said, in all likelihood I may not have remembered this dream without the interruption as so many dreams like this become layered and compartmentalized into sleep-induced amnesia so I consider the interruption a gift.  I raced to my computer and typed out as much detail as I could.  I felt this was a real gem of information to recall.  &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: arial;"&gt;It's still too early to so my WBTB method, so I decide that I am just going to go back to bed and free-style my dreams.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: arial;"&gt;Woken up by wife's cell phone ringing.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: arial;"&gt;Time to Bed: 12:00am&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: arial;"&gt;Time Awoken: 1:28am&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: arial;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: arial;"&gt;Time-To-Sleep: ~20m&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: arial;"&gt;Total Time Slept: 1h 8m&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: arial;"&gt;Total Estimated Time: ~2h&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: arial;"&gt;Time Gained: ~52m&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;font-size:130%;" &gt;&lt;span style="font-family: arial;"&gt;Dream 2&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: arial;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: arial;"&gt;This was kind of a fun dream, the plot of the dream was I was playing a type of role-playing game that involved a type of softball or tennis ball that we would throw and it would be intelligently rolled after someone in a form of tag.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: arial;"&gt;There were three players, three balls and we were throwing them not at each other per-say rather throwing them then using dream control to move them and chase down the other person.  It was actually quite fun trying to run and dodge the ball; when it hit you it felt like a wave of energy rippling through you; so felt pleasant and fun.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: arial;"&gt;We played for a while until I was interrupted.  I decided to just make quick notes of this and go back to sleep.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: arial;"&gt;Woke up by baby crying.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: arial;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Time-To-Bed: 2:35am&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: arial;"&gt;Time-Awake: 3:12am&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: arial;"&gt;Time-To-Sleep: ~10m&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: arial;"&gt;Total Time Slept: 37m&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: arial;"&gt;Total Estimated time: ~30m&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: arial;"&gt;Time Gained: ~ -7m&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;font-size:130%;" &gt;&lt;span style="font-family: arial;"&gt;Dream 3&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: arial;"&gt;This is another dream that had a lot of extra time.  This dream was all about being in the Military and having been drafted.  I was in basic training and vaguely remember going through boot-camp.  I had some memory of waking up going to sleep and training; however when I started to realize and remember the dream that data was more or less completely irrelevant time wise.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: arial;"&gt;It was when I became more aware in the dream, not lucid but rather having more memory, awareness and perception did I start really sinking in a sense of time.  There certainly was lots of potential time prior to the more acute awareness; but by this time it seemed to just be memory although I did feel that it had context of days.  I certainly had a sense of going through this basic training and boot camp but all that data was now memory when my waking-self become more coherent within the dream.  I hope that makes sense.  It seems the introduction of my waking-self at any measure of acute awareness increases the sense-of-time greatly.  Otherwise it's like that database, just there and I can zoom through it fast forward and stop where I want.  I feel that is really important info.  That many of these dreams already exist within this hyper-dimensional database [memory]; there seems to be a pre-planning even with dreams; however when and where that planning is occurring is certainly layered within this non-linear dimensionality of dreaming.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: arial;"&gt;It is the act of slowing down the data, and taking time to experience that yields a sense-of-time relevant to how we experience time here.  Otherwise, that database has potentially centuries if not more of unrendered, unrealized data just waiting for illumination by the waking-self to proceed into the data-stream and render an experience relative to what that data represents.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: arial;"&gt;It is the act as my waking-self's participation that brings to life these experiences; otherwise they remain as unrendered and unrealized data... to my waking self only.  &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: arial;"&gt;This is all very fascinating to bring to my waking life through dream recall.  I'm truly having the time of my life with my dreams right now.  &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: arial;"&gt;Back to the army dream.  It is the rush of adrenalin I have when I know we are leaving to go into real life combat that get's me more focused into the dream.  We are rushing to load our gear into an airplane.  I have this 50' caliber sniper rifle in a large case and drop it off at a cargo-loading conveyor belt.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: arial;"&gt;I'm told that I can't bring my side arms on the plane so I have to leave them on the belt also.  I'm then told by my sergeant that I need to make sure I have a flash-light so I leave to go find one.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: arial;"&gt;It is here where the dream shifts and instead of being back at my barracks, I am at a shopping mall looking to buy a flash-light from a shop.  There is this bakery island shop in the center of the mall and they have all these large cake slices and other baked goods.  I'm hungry and decide to sample some of the items.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: arial;"&gt;I eat a fluffy pink colored cake, it tastes really good, like strawberry cake, raspberry filling and icing.  I love the texture and flavor.  I then sample a chocolate cake.  Again, full of flavor.  Some guy makes a comment that I'm eating like a pig and will get fat.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: arial;"&gt;I walk to a shop that is selling flashlights but they are very expensive; ornate with gems and diamond some have these really nice clocks in them.  Very strange to see such ornate work and prices ranging from $21.00 all the way into the thousands.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: arial;"&gt;This was too high-class for me; I wanted a simple flashlight and left to go find one.  I get woken up again by the little one.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: arial;"&gt;Time-To-Bed: 3:30am&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: arial;"&gt;Time-Awake: 4:20am&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: arial;"&gt;Time-To-Sleep: ~10m&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: arial;"&gt;Total Time Slept: 40m&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: arial;"&gt;Total Estimated time: ~2h 0m&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: arial;"&gt;Time Gained: ~ 1h 30m&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: arial;"&gt;(Although this dream seemed to last a long time based on the memory of the dream or in the dream, I cannot say it gave me a true sense of that time.  The awareness and perception needed to make the time dilate simply wasn't acute enough.  So I have to only track the time that I feel was relevant to my waking memories.)&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;font-size:130%;" &gt;&lt;span style="font-family: arial;"&gt;Dream 4&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: arial;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;This is a short dream, probably about 10m worth where I am rock climbing with Bette, she's way up a large cliff.  And I am basically just scaling the cliff with rope and harness attached.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: arial;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The kid is obviously restless so she kicks me in the face and I wake up.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: arial;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Time-To-Bed: 5:15am&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: arial;"&gt;Time-Awake: 6:00am&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: arial;"&gt;Time-To-Sleep: ~30m&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: arial;"&gt;Total Time Slept: 45m&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: arial;"&gt;Total Estimated time: ~10m&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: arial;"&gt;Time Gained: ~ -35m&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: arial;"&gt;What a restless sleep, but lots of dreaming and very interesting dreams so I am happy.  I get out of bed after this final interruption and prepare for my 60m WBTB method.  Sit and write out much of the above text.  &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;font-size:180%;" &gt;&lt;span style="font-family: arial;"&gt;WBTB Method Dream.  &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;font-size:130%;" &gt;&lt;span style="font-family: arial;"&gt;Dream 5&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: arial;"&gt;It is this dream time that I deliberately try to be lucid and prolonged the sense-of-time in a dream.  This one yielded a lot more time then the military dream as I managed to have more acute awareness during the days.  I am running out of time however so I need to leave this dream in my key-notes so it will seem abbreviated to the actual time that passed.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: arial; font-weight: bold;"&gt;Day 1: &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: arial;"&gt;Started a new job with 4 people at a startup company.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: arial;"&gt;Working in software development creating a flash game.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: arial;"&gt;Spending hours infront of a computer typing and compiling a game gets repetative.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: arial;"&gt;Breaking out framework and database details.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: arial;"&gt;Working long hours and hard.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: arial;"&gt;Leave work drive home.  Sleep. Fast-forwards through dream.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: arial; font-weight: bold;"&gt;Day 2: &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: arial;"&gt;Drive back to work, there is a parkade.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: arial;"&gt;Have to go to floor 2, walk down hallway.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: arial;"&gt;The office is on street level with glass windows open to sidewalk.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: arial;"&gt;Meet with Owners discuss direction.  Other people doing art assets for game.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: arial;"&gt;Everything is coming along.  Have an IT guy setting up more stations.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: arial;"&gt;Lots of time spent actually thinking typing and creating game logic.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: arial;"&gt;Making lots of progress on the game framework.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: arial; font-weight: bold;"&gt;Day 3:&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: arial;"&gt;Everyone is happy with the progress so far.  Hiring more staff.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: arial;"&gt;I'm in charge of the flash game; still the dominant coder.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: arial;"&gt;Company is branching into some other products so I just work on the game.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: arial;"&gt;It's a zombie game; building out levels, objects and asset management.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: arial;"&gt;Using google to try to find algorithms and code snippits to shorten time.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: arial;"&gt;Making great progress; everyone seems happy.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: arial; font-weight: bold;"&gt;Day 4: &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: arial;"&gt;I had worked late the night before and came in at 10:00am to find my desk moved into a corner.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: arial;"&gt;My computer has switched, I have a crappy chair.  I am angry trying to figure out what's going on.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: arial;"&gt;We have a new operations manager.  The guy is a dick.  I know him from before.  He just wants to get&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: arial;"&gt;rid of me.  They are going to outsource my job to China.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: arial;"&gt;Instead of working the rest of the two weeks to help integrate this chinese team I just grab my stuff.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: arial;"&gt;Address all the staff that they are working for a company that is going to outsource all their jobs away.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: arial;"&gt;I tell them if they want to stay.. stay but I am getting the fuck out of here right now.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: arial;"&gt;They cheer at me and the Owner is pissed.  The Operations manager is shocked and I tell them both to fuck off.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: arial;"&gt;I worked really hard and had fast results so felt they could suck my dick.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: arial;"&gt;All the new staff was definitely not happy with me leaving and why.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: arial;"&gt;I'm angry and I want to beat the piss out of the OM.  But I decide he's not worth my time.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: arial;"&gt;The Parkade has an single-car train and tracks instead of an elevator and you basically go around the tracks.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: arial;"&gt;I get to my car and start driving but realize I left some important personal items at the office.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: arial;"&gt;I have to go back.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: arial;"&gt;I drive to the parkade and this time, I am lost and can't find the exit.  The dream changed somewhat&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: arial;"&gt;so the second floor access was now a concrete beam on and ends at a sign that says floor 2.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: arial;"&gt;About 20 feet up on this beam I look down and now see the door.  I jump down.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: arial;"&gt;A person I worked with is there and he tells me that it was a dick move what they did.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: arial;"&gt;I tell him it's ok.  I've decided to just work for myself and not deal with this kind of BS.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: arial;"&gt;I go to the office and lots of people have left.  There is no OM and owner.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: arial;"&gt;I walk in and get my items and wake up.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: arial;"&gt;Time-To-Bed: 7:00am&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: arial;"&gt;Time-Awake: 7:40am&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: arial;"&gt;Time-To-Sleep: ~10m&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: arial;"&gt;Total Time Slept: 30m&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: arial;"&gt;(This is really hard to gauge because there was a lot of days here, fast-forwarding and memory lapses and I can't go over my footnotes to flush out; meaning lots of the memory has collapsed and faded. However, I felt like many hours indeed passed that I could recall, I'll estimate at least 5 hours.)&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: arial;"&gt;Total Estimated time: ~5h 0m&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: arial;"&gt;Time Gained: ~ 4 30m&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: arial;"&gt;I'm off for the day, have to take the kids to go see Grandma... joy.  Back late in the evening.

I wanted to get it down asap.  This is but a fraction of what I can remember; there was another&lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt; entire sequence&lt;/span&gt; that I know I wanted to recall; the data was definitely intriguing but what I can recall is still very interesting but &lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;don't read into it too much.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p style="margin-bottom: 0in; font-family: arial;"&gt;Just to note the baby woke up at the time I was going back to bed so she kind of killed my routine for the day.  Busy working on projects however this is an interesting dialog within a dream.&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p style="margin-bottom: 0in; font-family: arial; font-weight: bold;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:130%;"&gt;The Lucid Dream&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p style="margin-bottom: 0in; font-family: arial;"&gt;Where I pick up memory I am talking to some lady about truth seeking and she is really having her way with me intellectually.&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p style="margin-bottom: 0in; font-family: arial;"&gt;Lady, “You can't assume buzzing around here &lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;[non-physical reality&lt;/span&gt;] you are going to get it? [&lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;what everything is all about&lt;/span&gt;].  There is so much more going on then what you see.”&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p style="margin-bottom: 0in; font-family: arial;"&gt;“I understand; there is a lot of data to sift through here.  I can't take it all in at once, it has to be processed over time.”, I tell her.&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p style="margin-bottom: 0in; font-family: arial;"&gt;Lady, “What makes you think you've figured it out?  There are so many more realizations you need to go through.  You're just a small fraction of the bigger picture.  There are layers after layers of interconnected experiences and states you need to realize.”&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p style="margin-bottom: 0in; font-family: arial;"&gt;I get a bit dismayed at her constant assumptions that I have no memory or data of my own.  “What do you think I've been doing all this time.  It's all about deconstructing this experience to clear myself of ego and belief.  I know I have existed before this lifetime.  I know that I am entangled in this life so I must express myself as Ian, but that is just a filter.  It's not who I really am, just who I am expressing myself as.”&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p style="margin-bottom: 0in; font-family: arial;"&gt;Lady, “And you think that's it?”&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p style="margin-bottom: 0in; font-family: arial;"&gt;“No of course not, there is a lot more... too much more that's the problem.  The information is astronomical.  All I can do is filter in what I know and act on that knowledge; which is limited and difficult at best.”&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p style="margin-bottom: 0in; font-family: arial;"&gt;Lady, “I see, you think you are an expert then.”&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p style="margin-bottom: 0in; font-family: arial;"&gt;I laugh, “Look, I exist.  That there is the problem.  I exist so I have to figure out this mess I am in and make sense of it.  I've existed before this life.  I remember that.  I know I have had past-lives; I've seen many of them.  I know that I have also been other organic lives; insects even.  The spectrum of experience I have indulged in is huge.  That won't change.  My awareness and access to this data isn't always in my consciousness, I know it's here now and I can explore it when I need to understand it more.”&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p style="margin-bottom: 0in; font-family: arial;"&gt;I just upload all of this symbolic representations of things I have experienced; patterns I have been.&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p style="margin-bottom: 0in; font-family: arial;"&gt;“Now it's all about the current experiences; where I am at and how I get further past my limitations and given the nature of this experience; it seems a very large task.  It's not self-serving by any means; it's the causality of existing which is the problem.  I am dragging all of that down there with me.[&lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;my plight of being a non-physical being and having reality and existence entrapped in a human experience&lt;/span&gt;] “&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p style="margin-bottom: 0in; font-family: arial;"&gt;She seems to listen but she does really have a high and mighty attitude.  “Really, you think any of that is real?”&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p style="margin-bottom: 0in; font-family: arial;"&gt;“It doesn't matter, are you real?  Am I real?  The data is real.  At least until I dismiss it as such and even then; it's real enough to me. The data is something [&lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;dreams as organized thoughts forming reality&lt;/span&gt;]  I've seen dreams come true; I've changed dreams that have come true.  I know the data can be changed and I can change it.  Not saying I have to change it or want to change it; just part of deconstructing the experience so I can understand it better.”, I tell her.&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p style="margin-bottom: 0in; font-family: arial;"&gt;She looks more concerned then anything, “And you think by changing anything that is going to make a difference?”&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p style="margin-bottom: 0in; font-family: arial;"&gt;“That is exactly my point, I don't know everything.  I am not saying I know everything.  There is too much data to just know.  What I do know is right now I exist and I must endeavor what that means and how to grow from the experience of being.”&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p style="margin-bottom: 0in; font-family: arial;"&gt;I upload another set of data showing the precognitive experiences and alterations to some of it to her.&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p style="margin-bottom: 0in; font-family: arial;"&gt;“Well it seems like you have a lot of it figured out. &lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;[Causality through organized thoughts]&lt;/span&gt;”, she explains.&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p style="margin-bottom: 0in; font-family: arial;"&gt;“No, not really... there is so much more here then these small examples.”, I tell her.&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p style="margin-bottom: 0in; font-family: arial;"&gt;She replies, “Well, you should speak with Darrel then, he can assist you further.  I can't help you further here.”&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p style="margin-bottom: 0in; font-family: arial;"&gt;I meet Darrel who is actually a person I know in real-life but here he's more acute to the inner-workings of things and full of confusing advice.&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p style="margin-bottom: 0in; font-family: arial;"&gt;“What is the most frustrating thing bothering you right now?” he asks.&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p style="margin-bottom: 0in; font-family: arial;"&gt;“Objectivity with others Darrel, you know how frustrating it is to go through this and not share this with others?”, I explain.&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p style="margin-bottom: 0in; font-family: arial;"&gt;“Why do you have to share it? [The dream experience]”, he asks.&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p style="margin-bottom: 0in; font-family: arial;"&gt;“Because it can be shared.  We can grow into more objectivity.  I can handle the subjectivity and I don't mind, but it's nice to connect with people.  Nice to share the same experience&lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt; [data]&lt;/span&gt; with them.  It's frustrating to wake up and find very few that connect.”, I explain.&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p style="margin-bottom: 0in; font-family: arial;"&gt;“Have you tried telling them to meet at a place and go there and meet them?”, he asks.&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p style="margin-bottom: 0in; font-family: arial;"&gt;“No, most people are not interested dreaming, furthermore they lack the recall and skill usually to even remember if we do meet.  Look, when I was younger all I did was get here, seek out my friends and tried to connect.  Sometimes it worked, but for the hundreds and hundreds of other attempts it didn't.  I finally just gave up.  Can't keep kicking that old dog expecting results it wastes time.  There has to be a better way.”, I explain.&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p style="margin-bottom: 0in; font-family: arial;"&gt;“Why don't all of you take some classes on being conscious, I know the Monroe Institute has a Gateway series, have you looked at that?”, he asks.&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p style="margin-bottom: 0in; font-family: arial;"&gt;“It's not that simple.  I'd love it if everyone I knew developed skill in being conscious during sleep and remembered any mutual exchange.  People are just not that interested.  Trust me, I've proven it to friends and they still don't bat an eye.  It's frustrating believe me.  They don't want this as bad as I do so they don't pursue it.  Or even worse, they have this connection and later in life they forget.  I've been at this a long time.  If it was easy it would be easy; it's very complex and difficult.  Frankly, people there &lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;[waking reality]&lt;/span&gt; just don't get it.  I wish they did, it would make for more interesting journeys let me tell you.”, I explain. “It's not objective proof I need that we can share here with each other.  I already know that rather it's who to share it with. I want my closest friends and family to share this with me; and it's their choice not mine so I can't force them into this.”&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p style="margin-bottom: 0in; font-family: arial;"&gt;“Have you worked on your diet, here let me show you.”, he directs my attention to a tv.  “Build up your constitution and eat healthy food.”&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p style="margin-bottom: 0in; font-family: arial;"&gt;The TV show is showing lots of fresh vegetables like broccoli and greens.  The TV host is showing ways to make it taste a little better with fresh low-fat dips you can make etc.&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p style="margin-bottom: 0in; font-family: arial;"&gt;“Yeah, I could get more healthy.  That is good advice.  I eat like crap but as you can see diet doesn't prevent being here.  The body is merely a filter for the experiences there.  We are already here so all the food, drugs, alcohol and cigarettes we smoke down there doesn't mean jack shit.  It's attention, focus and intent.  A crippled monkey can be here because “here” doesn't need a body.”, I tell him.&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p style="margin-bottom: 0in; font-family: arial;"&gt;He looks at me with some dissatisfaction at my reply, “Being healthy makes it easier.”&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p style="margin-bottom: 0in; font-family: arial;"&gt;“Does it?  Seems pretty physical and less real to what is actually going on.  You tell me all of the people with bodies who are here and don't realize it are because they ate garbage food and didn't think to check if that helps them realize this state or not?  I really doubt it.”, I tell him.&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p style="margin-bottom: 0in; font-family: arial;"&gt;I continue, “I think it's all belief-systems, they don't believe they are here.  They don't care that they are here... they don't value anything that comes from here, even if they themselves come from here.  It's their beliefs and how they direct their awareness which prevents them from accessing the data here.  Not the body as much.  Can't say we rule out the body but when it comes to being here, we'll... here they are.”&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p style="margin-bottom: 0in; font-family: arial;"&gt;I upload a perception of everyone being “here” in the dreamstate and unaware back in physical.&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p style="margin-bottom: 0in; font-family: arial;"&gt;“Well what is it that you want?”, he asks.&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p style="margin-bottom: 0in; font-family: arial;"&gt;“Lots of things, I still haven't met another part of me that I realize yet; but that is just my perception everyone and everything could be a part of me and vice-versa so that's a technical issue that I have to sort out.  The other problem is meeting my oversoul which I think I have done but it's not clear or fresh in my mind.  I would like to get to know myself better and help others get here while they are still physical.  Built more bridges; expand more experiences and create more purposeful data.  Don't rush to wake up, take time to get more useful data.”, I tell him.&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p style="margin-bottom: 0in; font-family: arial;"&gt;He shows me a video about the Demigurge, and the black-iron prison of the mind.  The video suggests we are somewhat trapped in fantasy land [waking reality] and are unable to escape to the dream reality where my focus is at the moment.&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p style="margin-bottom: 0in; font-family: arial;"&gt;“I've thought about that many times over, are we being controlled and used.  I don't think so; it's just the experience down there is as intense as it gets for us.  Really scrambles up the mind; have to go at it [the data] with a human filter.  All that belief, so much belief... not enough practical knowledge.  Scary.”&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p style="margin-bottom: 0in; font-family: arial;"&gt;“Crap, I am waking up!”, I blurt as my physical eyes open.&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p style="margin-bottom: 0in; font-family: arial;"&gt;Time to Sleep:&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt; 12:00am&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Time Awake: &lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;5:00am&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Estimated Time: unknown; lots of lost information on waking.&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p style="margin-bottom: 0in; font-family: arial;"&gt;In reflection; this was an interesting exchange of ideas to different dream characters.  It seemed like I was really just trying to sort out direction and intent as to what I wanted.  Having all the memory to sort through, a maze of potential lifetimes stored as data was intense.  The scale and scope of my arguments with these beings drew in lots of personal insights that indicate a greater reality then just the physical experience I am entangled in with at the moment.&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p style="margin-bottom: 0in; font-family: arial;"&gt;Certainly some food for thought.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/1818683220437348242-4142483055729485634?l=you-are-dreaming.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://you-are-dreaming.blogspot.com/feeds/4142483055729485634/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://you-are-dreaming.blogspot.com/2010/07/interesting-spontaneous-lucid-dream.html#comment-form' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/1818683220437348242/posts/default/4142483055729485634'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/1818683220437348242/posts/default/4142483055729485634'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://you-are-dreaming.blogspot.com/2010/07/interesting-spontaneous-lucid-dream.html' title='An Interesting Spontaneous Lucid Dream.'/><author><name>Ian Wilson</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/09312115730377763162</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1818683220437348242.post-3334047789436238361</id><published>2010-07-28T22:28:00.001-07:00</published><updated>2010-07-28T22:28:45.998-07:00</updated><title type='text'>Active Lucid Precognitive Dreaming</title><content type='html'>&lt;span style="font-size: 200%; line-height: 116%; font-family: arial;"&gt;Active Lucid Precognitive Dreaming&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold; font-family: arial;"&gt;ALPD&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: arial;"&gt; is a concept that not many people have had a chance to think about... let alone experience.

Maybe you have none.  Where you rate  in the above blog-posts in terms of personal experience, is totally up  to your own personal growth with dreaming.  I cannot predict where you  are on this journey; suffice to say I support your journey with love and  understanding for the ride. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: arial;"&gt;You may already know what &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic; font-family: arial;"&gt;precognitive dreams&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: arial;"&gt; mean; this is a dream you dream that one day later comes true.  It has been linked to &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic; font-family: arial;"&gt;Déjà Vu&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: arial;"&gt; and has been called &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic; font-family: arial;"&gt;Déjà Rêvé&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: arial;"&gt; when you link the &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold; font-family: arial;"&gt;Déjà&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: arial;"&gt; experience to something you have dreamed.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: arial;"&gt;If you have not had a &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold; font-family: arial;"&gt;lucid dream&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: arial;"&gt;, or a &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold; font-family: arial;"&gt;precognitive dream&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: arial;"&gt; then it is logically assumed that you have never had any experience with &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic; font-family: arial;"&gt;ALPD&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: arial;"&gt;.  ALPD is when both the lucid dream awareness emerges with the &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold; font-family: arial;"&gt;precognitive paradox&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: arial;"&gt;  of dreaming.  The active component in ALPD is when you actively engage  the lucid dream.  Through actively engaging the precognitive dream from a  lucid state, you then affect causality.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: arial;"&gt;What this means is; by  actively participating in the lucid precognitive dream; when this dream  actualizes that active participation also occurs in waking life reality.   When you consciously change a precognitive dream, those changes  actualize and happen in waking life. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic; font-family: arial;"&gt;Robert Waggoner&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: arial;"&gt; talks about this in his book entitled, “&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic; font-family: arial;"&gt;Lucid Dreaming:  Gateway to the Inner Self&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: arial;"&gt;”  &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: arial;"&gt;If  you have had lucid dreams, and you have had precognitive dreams, you  are a prime candidate for this experience.  You may have already had  this experience.  If so, I want to hear about it.  You can e-mail me on  my public e-mail address using the subject tag to override spam filters:  &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold; font-family: arial;"&gt;[ALPD]&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: arial;"&gt; and e-mail to &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold; font-family: arial;"&gt;ianwilson27@hotmail.com&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: arial;"&gt;Please  be as detailed as you can in regards to your level of conscious lucid  awareness; what steps took you to the precognitive dream, what actions  you took in the dream; and how all of this actualized in your waking  life.  If you have no experience with this at all; please consider where  your experiences may present such an opportunity.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: arial;"&gt;In dream  phenomenology, we are talking about two states that emerge to give you  an insight into a greater potential, a greater relationship with what is  dreamed and what is actualized as physical reality.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: arial;"&gt;There is no  question that this topic is extremely rare, and not fully scientifically  embraced or understood.  As of 2010, you are on the forefront of this  science and knowledge.  It is not something that is extensively covered  in dream literature in our history;  that said.  It is something that  you have the potential to explore and experience for yourself based on  your own attention focusing and intent in regards to dreams.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: arial;"&gt;We  take precognitive dreams; which you may or may not have; and progress  into these dreams with full waking lucid awareness; as you would expect  from a lucid dream.. another experience you may or may not have.  The  convergence of these two experiences sets the requirements and  frameworks to actively participate with the precognitive dream data and  influence some type of change.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: arial;"&gt;The mechanics of precognition is  not widely understood; we are still embarking on a journey both  metaphysically and scientifically to understand this paradox in  anomalous cognition and how precognition happens.  You can be skeptical  of this potential; or you can explore this potential and live the  experience first hand.  That is what this article is all about.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: arial;"&gt;Personal  exploration and pioneering into a realm of dreamed experiences that  currently probably was not on your radar until you read this article.   Having lucid dreams, and having precognitive dreams is the per-requisite  for active lucid precognitive dreaming.  I do not anticipate that  non-dreamers and non-precognitive dreamers can bridge this obvious link  between consciousness and precognition easily.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: arial;"&gt;This is why we  have people who master the piano, or soccer, or any other skill.  It is a  certain person with certain qualities that can endeavor to progress  into a unique niche and develop skill and understanding within that  niche.  I consider ALPD to be a very unique and exclusive niche of  experience that only few may follow.  You will determine if you are this  candidate and are capable of the introspection and exploration to  validate such a wild concept as ALPD.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: arial;"&gt;ALPD requires your  participation and desire to explore the possibilities that lie between  waking and sleeping realities.  You are the one that needs to bridge  lucid dreaming with precognitive dreaming.  No one else is capable of  taking you there.  It is your own edification of this truth through  first hand personal experience that will determine your success or  failure.  Do you have what it takes?&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: arial;"&gt;What it takes is a genuine  curiosity and exploration of your naturally occurring dream states.   Connecting the dots in what is a systematic progression of self-realized  experiences.  The potential and tool-kit already exists in you, it's  how you direct your attention and intent that ultimately will result in  achieving this unique synergy of precognitive dreams and lucid  awareness.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: arial;"&gt;This post is simply to raise awareness to this  potential and provide some information regarding the experience to  encourage your own personal exploration of the possibilities that lie  within.  In having first-hand personal experience with ALPD, all I can  do is present the opportunity to those who will listen and act on that  information.  There is little I can do to convince you otherwise that it  is real or not.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: arial;"&gt;This is something that is to be experienced and  not believed.  Do you have what it takes to change a lucid precognitive  dream; and experience those changes happen here in waking reality?  Why  not find out?&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: arial;"&gt;Feel free to contact me and discuss this potential  further via my e-mail, make sure to tag the subject with: [ALPD] to  prevent ending in the endless junk folder of internet spam.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: arial;"&gt;Warm regards and happy pioneering, &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: arial;"&gt;Ian Wilson&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: arial;"&gt;AkA...

If you haven't already, you might want to read my article entitled,  "&lt;a href="http://you-are-dreaming.blogspot.com/2010/07/dreaming-century-of-time-during-one.html"&gt;Dreaming a 'Century of Time' During one Night of Sleep.&lt;/a&gt;"&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:130%;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: arial; font-weight: bold;"&gt;Non-Lucid Dream – July 28, 2010&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: arial;"&gt; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: arial;"&gt;Time To Bed:&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt; 5:00am&lt;/span&gt;  &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: arial;"&gt;Time When Awoken:&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt; 7:00am &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: arial;"&gt;Time required to fall asleep: &lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;~30 minutes&lt;/span&gt;.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:130%;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: arial;"&gt;The Techniques&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: arial;"&gt;This is the WBTB method using MILD to prepare myself to have a lucid dream.  My intent is to cultivate extra time; possibly share a dream and be fully awake and aware during the process.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: arial;"&gt;I set aside the following concepts:  Ego, Fear, Expectations, Sexual Desires and lesser desires, belief in time, belief in physical body, belief in physical law leaving all of these concepts with physical systems so that while in the dream state only the raw experience can go as unfiltered as possible.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: arial;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:130%;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: arial; font-weight: bold;"&gt;The Dream.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: arial;"&gt;This dream had seemed to last over a couple of days.  There is a lot of early detail that I just can't recall because of this  long sense of time in this dream.  There definitely was fast-fowarding in parts of the dream.  Times when I slept in the dream.  Had dreams within the dream.  Even with what I remember, the time is quite lengthy and I am estimating at least 6 hours worth of memory; but the sense of time seemed to suggest a lot more but memory collapse and recall make it hard to really gauge.  I woke up feeling like I slept a very long time, when in fact it was only a couple of hours.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: arial;"&gt;I was not lucid at any point in this dream; so totally unaware I was dreaming however the sense of realism was quite detailed and rich.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: arial;"&gt;What I am gathering is that I am living in a house for some time waking up and going to sleep.  It's hard to remember how many days or when it started short of the last couple of days the memory seems fragmented and recoverable.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: arial;"&gt;The start of the memory that I can recover, there is a place with lots of people walking about.  It's like a convention of some time; it's packed full of people and I am talking with a lady.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: arial;"&gt;She introduces me to a person who was from Africa who was attacked with machete, people cruelly called him Stumpy because he has lost his legs from the knees down and his arms from the elbow down.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: arial;"&gt;He tells me he is a fan of my work related to dreaming and tells me that dreaming helps him get his legs and arms back.  He loves the dream world and is thankful that I have shared this with him.  I look at him and feel sorry that he had to endure such life-changing violence and wish there was more I could do to help.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: arial;"&gt;At some point someone yells out something about shared dreams.  I try to move through the crowd to go talk to him but he disappears.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: arial;"&gt;There is a big blank area here where I can't seem to recall more detail; it's fuzzy at this point.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: arial;"&gt;When memory picks up, I have been living at a house for some time and have a roomate.  The roomate has a girlfriend who has red-brown hair, shoulder length.  She has an attractive face, a nice body.  We are talking about dreams and I share with her some of my interests.  She really enjoys talking about them.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: arial;"&gt;We are making dinner and eating dinner.  &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: arial;"&gt;There is some faded memory here, not sure what happens but I do know my roommate is getting ready and we then drive him to the airport.  (seems to fast-forward here)  After he departs, I drive his girlfriend home, she wants me to pick her up the next day to talk more about dreaming.  I agree.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: arial;"&gt;I drive home (seems to fast-forward here)  get ready for bed and sleep.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: arial;"&gt;I have a dream within a dream; the whole process of falling asleep is similar to how I fall asleep in real life.  When I wake up, I don't attempt to recall the dream; and only have a sense of dreaming.  Time here is really hard to gauge; very suggestive of another fast-forward when I wake up as I don't remember waking up.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: arial;"&gt;The fast forwarding can also be memory lapse; because there are pockets of information that I just can't remember.  I notice in typing some details; a few more pop in that were certainly forgotten.  How deep or damaged the memory loss is, is hard to gauge.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: arial;"&gt;I am visiting with my Mom.  We are at her house.  We are talking about my work, my marriage and the kids.  She is asking how everyone is doing, the usual expected conversation.  When we are done talking I drive and pick up my roommate's girlfriend.  &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: arial;"&gt;The dream fast-forwards on the drive, this seems to be common, we just skip to the next location. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: arial;"&gt;At the house, I introduce the girlfriend to my wife and tell her that we are going to spend the day together talking about dreams and she wants to learn more about techniques.  My wife doesn't seem happy about this at all.  She has to go to work and she clearly suspects that I am going to cheat on her.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: arial;"&gt;She leaves to work.  The lady and I just visit and talk causally.   She is asking me questions about her boyfriend and wondering how long he will be gone for.  I tell her he can be gone for months at a time with his work.  He is seldom around.  It seems that their relationship is very new.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: arial;"&gt;There is some faded-memory here; but I pick up where I am making some lunch.  She was walking around checking out the house and we sit down and eat.  I enjoy her company, she seems like a really nice person.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: arial;"&gt;I know there are several points where I feel attracted to her but remind myself that I have a wife.  In stead I just enjoy her attractive qualities and view her beauty as a living artform; like watching a master-sculpture's statute come to life.  I just appreciate the artistic quality that she naturally represents.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: arial;"&gt;In certain points in the dream I want to hold her hand and stop myself.  After we finish visiting she asks me to drive her home.  This time the drive takes time, I am talking with her and at one point I unknowingly have put my hand on her shoulder and rub her back while we drive.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: arial;"&gt;When I look at her I realize that I was doing that and pull my hand away and apologize.  I tell her that  I wasn't paying attention and I thought she was my wife for a second.  She tells me she didn't mind and liked the way I was touching her, she said it was very comforting.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: arial;"&gt;I told her that I did find her attractive but I am married and love my wife.  I explain it's easy to be attracted to people, and much harder to stay focused on the person you love if you let that those attractions get in the way.    &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: arial;"&gt;She understands and says she is only really interested in friendship and I tell her that's what I enjoy as well.  It's just our natural instincts at work here and it was a natural habit of mine to touch my wife on the shoulder or hold her hand when we drive.  &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: arial;"&gt;The street has changed since we last drove on it.  My mind rationalizes that the city has added more intersecting roads.  The exit is now completely unrealistic as one has to do a complete u-turn against the flow of traffic to take the on-ramp off the highway.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: arial;"&gt;Which I do but the traffic is heavy; the car seems to have problems and is out of control.  Cars dodge and weave.  I finally get the car to move forward after a few minutes of slowly creeping forward.  We make it on the ramp, and this is the point I wake up.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: arial;"&gt;I am a bit disorientated and feel like I have been asleep for a long time.  I immediately start to try to recall what dreams can explain for this long sense of time I was feeling.  By the time I type my keywords I have lost a large portion of the dream.  I know this is a good example of time stretching in a dream.  I'm confident there could be days worth here but with memory collapse and fast-forwarding it might only be about 6 hours worth.  Hard to really estimate the sense of time on this one.  It certainly felt like a long time definitely longer then 6 hours.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:130%;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: arial; font-weight: bold;"&gt;Total estimated time: &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: arial;"&gt;Pre-Convention: Unknown, memory loss.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: arial;"&gt;At Convention: 1h&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: arial;"&gt;After Convention: Unknown, memory loss.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: arial;"&gt;At home with roomate: 2h&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: arial;"&gt;Drive to airport: 1h&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: arial;"&gt;Drive GF home: 20m&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: arial;"&gt;At home before bed: 30m&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: arial;"&gt;Dream within dream: Unknown, memory loss.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: arial;"&gt;Visit with mom: 2h&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: arial;"&gt;Picking up roomates GF: 20m&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: arial;"&gt;Visit with wife: 30m&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: arial;"&gt;Visit with roomate's gf: 2h&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: arial;"&gt;Drive home: 30m&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: arial;"&gt;Sense of time: Suggests days of dreaming.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: arial;"&gt;Total Estimated Time:  7h 40m&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: arial;"&gt;Time Sleeping: 1h 30m&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: arial;"&gt;Time Gained: 6h 35m&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: arial;"&gt;Seems my time gained fits with my waking impression of time where I suggest about 6 hours.  I can't include time that I cannot account for loss memory of fast-forward, although I would like to boast at least two days possibly three here... I have to stay within reasonable estimates  to better understand how this potentially can cultivate experience and consciousness through dreaming.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:130%;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: arial; font-weight: bold;"&gt;Update:&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: arial;"&gt;I just recalled another segment in the dream; at one point I was at work and picking up a check for $1600.00.  I was hanging with my employers and we went for beers.  There was quite a lot of conversation and time at the restaurant and beer drinking so could be another hour.  Not sure but this seems before the convention on the timeline.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: arial;"&gt;This is not to uncommon where over the day in dreams such as these certain memories just pop back into view.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: arial;"&gt;Adjusting the time +1h&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: arial;"&gt;Time Gained: &lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;7h 35m&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/1818683220437348242-5472961087325510246?l=you-are-dreaming.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://you-are-dreaming.blogspot.com/feeds/5472961087325510246/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://you-are-dreaming.blogspot.com/2010/07/extending-time-in-dream-take-3.html#comment-form' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/1818683220437348242/posts/default/5472961087325510246'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/1818683220437348242/posts/default/5472961087325510246'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://you-are-dreaming.blogspot.com/2010/07/extending-time-in-dream-take-3.html' title='Extending time in a dream take 3.'/><author><name>Ian Wilson</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/09312115730377763162</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1818683220437348242.post-7353520502175678302</id><published>2010-07-27T07:32:00.001-07:00</published><updated>2010-07-27T07:37:49.720-07:00</updated><title type='text'>Another Extended Time Dream Example.</title><content type='html'>&lt;span style="font-family: arial;"&gt;In my continuing effort to try to induce an epic dream like in &lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;Inception &lt;/span&gt;where dream time is greater then the time it takes to sleep.  Read my article entitled, "&lt;a href="http://you-are-dreaming.blogspot.com/2010/07/dreaming-century-of-time-during-one.html"&gt;Dreaming a 'Century of Time' During one Night of Sleep.&lt;/a&gt;" to see that this has some facts and is not just &lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;movie fiction&lt;/span&gt;.  Today's dream managed to yield in &lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;30 minutes&lt;/span&gt; of sleep about &lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;1h 35m&lt;/span&gt; of extra time.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:130%;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Lucid Dream – July 27, 2010&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: arial;"&gt; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: arial;"&gt;Time To Bed: &lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;5:00am&lt;/span&gt;  &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: arial;"&gt;Time When Awoken:&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt; 5:40am&lt;/span&gt; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: arial;"&gt;Time required to fall asleep: &lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;~10 minutes&lt;/span&gt;.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:130%;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: arial;"&gt;The Techniques&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: arial;"&gt;This is the WBTB method using MILD to prepare myself to have a lucid dream.  My intent is to cultivate extra time; possibly share a dream and be fully awake and aware during the process.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: arial;"&gt;I set aside the following concepts:  Ego, Fear, Expectations, Sexual Desires and lesser desires, belief in time, belief in physical body, belief in physical law leaving all of these concepts with physical systems so that while in the dream state only the raw experience can go as unfiltered as possible.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: arial;"&gt;The intent was to be lucid and aware, have full memory and extend time; open up to any mutual dreaming possibilities.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:130%;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: arial; font-weight: bold;"&gt;The process of falling asleep. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: arial;"&gt;I was progressing naturally through sleep, but the little baby sleeping next to me kept kicking so I ended up having to use a technique where I let go of all focus and drop into fast sleep.  It's not the best for lucid dreaming because I skip into unfocused sleep and have to WILD in the dream.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:130%;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: arial; font-weight: bold;"&gt;The Lucid Dream &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: arial;"&gt;The dream starts and I am driving in a car with my wife.  I see all this couch foam on the road and begin to get angry because I knew we had a couch thrown out on the road.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: arial;"&gt;We stop by our house and the garbage is everywhere.  There is a stack of couch foam that has been ripped up by animals and the wind blew the foam everywhere.  On top of that mess, it had rained so the foam was all wet and soggy.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: arial;"&gt;My wife and I get out to clean it up.  My mom is there, she may have been in the car.  There are trees on the front yard and as I bend over to pick up garbage I get a twig in my eye.  It scratches and hurts really bad.  I grab my eye with my hand and start to cry like a baby to my Mom who I explain I was just poked in the eye with a twig.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: arial;"&gt;“What happened?”, she asked.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: arial;"&gt;“I was getting garbage and turn around and a twig caught my eye.”, I cry.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: arial;"&gt;“Are you ok?”, she asks.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: arial;"&gt;“Yeah, it just feels like a light scratch but it hurts.”, I complain.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: arial;"&gt;She talks about it with my wife.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: arial;"&gt;I stand there angry and waiting for the pain to subside.  My eye is tearing up and I finally open it.  By this time some kids from our house came out and I told them to help us clean.  They start gathering debris.  My brother is there and he tells me, “Why are you getting all the kids to clean up the garbage?”&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: arial;"&gt;“Because there is nine of them and one of me.  I am sure they will help get it done quicker.”, I reply.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: arial;"&gt;“Sure maybe your kid, but do you think it's fair to ask all of his friends”, he replies&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: arial;"&gt;*Just a note, he was actually talking about his Son and his son's friend but the dream was kind of inverted on that detail&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: arial;"&gt;“No, they're kids and like to help out, look at them.”, I say as I point and go inside the house.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: arial;"&gt;I walk into the TV room, this is clearly my brother's house.  I recognize his leather couches in the downstairs.  I see Hangover 2 being advertised as a commercial on TV.  In the scene, there is Alan, the Dentist (Stu) and Teacher(Phil) no groom (Doug).  It's funny what I see and I am excited that there is a sequel.  In the scene the dentist is says something like, “I hate my ex, she was such a bitch.”&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: arial;"&gt;It was like they were in some storm sewer or dirty prison and just feeling defeated.  The place look dark and damp, not a clean place to be.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: arial;"&gt;I go to the bathroom.  Walk to a door that has a nail-file jammed in the door-jam.  It falls when I open the door and I realize that someone doesn't want us using this bathroom.  A lady I don't know asks me if I am done with it and I tell her that it's not to be used.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: arial;"&gt;  &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: arial;"&gt;I walk to another Bathroom and it has a really crazy toilet.  The toilet is like a wide mouth of flowing water with brick and tile.  It is built into the floor and flows like a waterfall downward to a large open chamber... then slower down a 3 foot channel to wide sewer area.  You could literally walk down this entire contraption that descended into the floor.  &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: arial;"&gt;I take a pee and watch it flow into the 1x1 brick first layer, then stain the water yellow and flow into the second chamber.  The second area has turkey feathers that seem as if a wild animal had killed it in that area.  I wonder how that is even possible and who would construct such an elaborate toilet.  &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: arial;"&gt;In the large area I start to see animals.  A large Turtles surfaces and climbs over a rock and dives back in this mucky water.  The water had leaves and all sorts of garbage on the surface.  I notice there are also beavers swimming, fish and even bears.  &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: arial;"&gt;While watching the animals, they start to notice me, this really large turtle swims up and crawls onto this ledge.  It looks up to me with it's mouth slightly open as if smiling.  Other animals like the beaver and even a fish swim up to look at me.  &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: arial;"&gt;There is a small bear that looks at me and I decide to yell really loud with a growl to startle the bear.  What I didn't notice was a large white grizzle bear that was eating a fish.  It hears me growl and starts to charge up the channel.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: arial;"&gt;I run in fear out of the bathroom closing the door.  In the hallway I open a closet and grab a broom.  I turn around and take a defensive stance holding the broom handle out in front of me.  The bear doesn't come out and I relax and walk back to the tv room.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: arial;"&gt;My mom is there and we talk about the new Hangover movie and I come to a realization that I am in New York and that I really need to walk around and be part of the city.   I decide to go on my own.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: arial;"&gt;I leave the house and travel by train to Grand Central Station.  I walk out onto the street.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: arial;"&gt;People are all wearing crazy outfits in groups.  But man do they look amazing with makeup.  It's almost like circus du soleil.  One group is wearing white outfits with black circles and a round circular hat.  They have face masks.  Everywhere I look there are themed outfits that really strike me as being similar to the circus du soleil.  &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: arial;"&gt;I walk just entranced by Time Square and all these amazing people in outfits.  Some look at me as I pass by. I am wearing an I love New York t-shirt and feel embarrassed about it.  I think I  must look like a tourist.  &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: arial;"&gt;I walk past the Late Night building.  Think it would be amazing to share a dream with David Letterman. I think he probably wouldn't get it though and move on.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: arial;"&gt;I walk by a diner and I see Frankie Muniz, from Malcom in the Middle sitting in a booth.  I want to go talk to him but don't want to disturb him.  I want to ask him about dreams but think of all the harassment celebrities get and don't want to be a pest.  It's not unusual for me to see a celebrity and just look and move on.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: arial;"&gt;I continue to walk on the street and it starts to rain. I feel the rain and start to get wet.  I don't have a jacket or umbrella. I start wishing that I had both. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: arial;"&gt;There are three Islamic teens walking behind me, they pass by talking in Arabic. I don't understand what they say but I recognize the language.  One looks at me with disgust and anger.  I just hope they leave me alone. The do and pass on by.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: arial;"&gt;I wander aimlessly outside of the city into a suburb.  I've been walking for at least 20 minutes before I stop and start to realize that I am dreaming.  I realize that walking is no way to tour New York, so I start to fly.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: arial;"&gt;I get up a good 300 feet but have a problem with my horizontal thrust; the vertical is working great but something is preventing the vertical.  I get this advice via a voice in my head, and it seems like the source was Tom Campbell saying that I am focusing on too much and need to let go and just flow naturally.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: arial;"&gt;I do and then I start to fly horizontally over the city.  I do admit I was over thinking and analyzing the situation and was in partial conflict over being able to fly.  Once I resolved this issue I was able to enjoy a spectacular birds eye view of New York and started to fly back to and over the city.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: arial;"&gt;The aerial view is amazing, the detail is exquisite.  It's day time and I see people like ants walking about, cars driving and you'd think you were really there in an air plane except you are not; you are in a dream with amazing vivid realism and detail.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: arial;"&gt; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: arial;"&gt;I land near the NBC building and 5th avenue.  I wish that I could do this in real life, that it would be awesome to just fly and travel freely around the world like this.  It's a real gift.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: arial;"&gt;  &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: arial;"&gt;The I lift off again and fly.  For some reason I loose lucid focus and become a super-hero who basically enforces traffic violations.  It's really silly because I fly to cars for such silly crimes as Tail gating and talking on a Cell phone.  I must be one of the most useless Super-Hero's New York has to offer.  And I'm not nice about it either, I use my flight to smash into the person with a kick.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: arial;"&gt;Finally I get a criminal worth pulling over, a drunk driver.  I fly and do a swooping double-kick on him, he bends backwards into his chair and is not very happy about being kicked like that.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: arial;"&gt;I lift up his car and push it onto a sidewalk near a market that has it's wares also on the street.  There is a police station near by and I see it.  I whistle at the cops to come.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: arial;"&gt;About 6 cops show up and it's really funny how they act.  One office has a bottle of aquafresh (or some other cologne) and he sprays it in my mouth.  Then he pulls out another one that is basically beer smelling alcohol and sprays it all over the driver.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: arial;"&gt;They arrest him I leave.  I Walk into a building with my iPhone, looking at myself in the iPhone camera.

One of my journal techniques is to quickly write down key words and phrases to help dream recall; this helps me create triggers that remind me of detail as the dream fades.  Here is a log of how I start my dream in key-word point form then return and provide greater detail. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: arial;"&gt;The Lucid Dream &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: arial;"&gt;Driving on a street&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: arial;"&gt;See debris on road&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: arial;"&gt;Garbage.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: arial;"&gt;Wife is with me.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: arial;"&gt;Have to pick it up.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: arial;"&gt;Mom is there.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: arial;"&gt;Get twig in eye.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: arial;"&gt;Cry like baby.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: arial;"&gt;Get kids to help; there are about 9 there.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: arial;"&gt;Go in house.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: arial;"&gt;See Hangover 2 being advertised as a commercial on TV.  &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: arial;"&gt;Only see Alan, the Dentist and Teacher no groom (Dave)?.  It's funny what I see and I am excited that there is a sequel.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: arial;"&gt;Go to the bathroom.  &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: arial;"&gt;Open door that is not to be opened.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: arial;"&gt;Close it and find another bathroom.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: arial;"&gt;The bathroom has a really crazy toilet.  The toilet is like a wide mouth of flowing water with brick and tile.  It is built into the floor and flows like a waterfall downward to a large open chamber... then &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: arial;"&gt;slower down to wide sewer, you could literally walk down.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: arial;"&gt;Turkey feathers are in the second layer.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: arial;"&gt;In the large area I see animals:  Large Turtles, Beavers and bears.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: arial;"&gt;I anger a bear eating a fish, it is white.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: arial;"&gt;I run in fear and grab a broom.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: arial;"&gt;The bear doesn't come out and I relax and walk back to the tv room.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: arial;"&gt;I come to a realization that I am in New York and that I really need to walk around and be part of the city.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: arial;"&gt;I leave the house and travel by train to Grand Central Station.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: arial;"&gt;Walk out onto the street.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: arial;"&gt;People are all wearing crazy outfits in groups.  But man do they look amazing with makeup.  It's almost like circus du soleil.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: arial;"&gt;I walk just entranced by Time Square and all these amazing people in outfits.  &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: arial;"&gt;I am wearing an I love New York shirt.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: arial;"&gt;Walk past the Late Night building.  Think it would be amazing to share a dream with David Letterman.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: arial;"&gt;I think he probably wouldn't get it though and move on.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: arial;"&gt;I walk by a diner and I see the guy (need to lookup) from Malcom in the Middle sitting down in a booth.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: arial;"&gt;I want to go talk to him but don't want to disturb him.  I want to ask him about dreams but think of all the harrassment celebrities get and don't want to be a pest.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: arial;"&gt;Walk on the street and it starts to rain.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: arial;"&gt;I feel the rain and start to get wet.  I don't have a jacket or umbrella.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: arial;"&gt;I start wishing that I had both.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: arial;"&gt;There are three Islamic teens walking behind me, they pass by talking in Arabic.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: arial;"&gt;I don't understand what they say but I recognise the language.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: arial;"&gt;One looks at me with disgust and anger.  I just hope they leave me alone.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: arial;"&gt;I wander aimlessly outside of the city into a suburb.  &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: arial;"&gt;Then I start to realize that I am dreaming.  I realize that this is no way to tour New York, so I start to fly.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: arial;"&gt;I get up a good 300 feet but have a problem with my horizontal thrust; the vertical is working great but something is preventing the vertical.  &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: arial;"&gt;I get this advice, and it seems like the source was Tom Campbell saying that I am focusing on too much and need to let go and just naturally flow.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: arial;"&gt;I do and then I start to fly horizontally over the city.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: arial;"&gt;The aerial view is amazing, the detail is exquisite.  I &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: arial;"&gt;I land near the NBC building and 5th avenue.  &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: arial;"&gt;The I lift off again and fly.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: arial;"&gt;For some reason I loose lucid focus and become a super-hero who basically enforces traffic violations.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: arial;"&gt;Tail gating&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: arial;"&gt;Cell phone.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: arial;"&gt;Drunk Driver&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: arial;"&gt;Police office.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: arial;"&gt;About 6 cops.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: arial;"&gt;Aquafresh in my mouth.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: arial;"&gt;Alchohol spilled on the driver.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: arial;"&gt;They arrest him I leave.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: arial;"&gt;Walk into a building with my iPhone, looking at myself in the iPhone camera.

I hope to provide some real-life examples of this on the blog.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:arial;"&gt;I gained about &lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;2h 20m &lt;/span&gt;over the clock time.

My intent is to cultivate extra time; possibly share a dream and be fully awake and aware during the process.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:arial;"&gt;You can read some lucid dreaming techniques on my blog entitled, "&lt;/span&gt;&lt;b style="font-family: arial;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://you-are-dreaming.blogspot.com/2010/07/lucid-dreaming-techniques.html"&gt;Lucid Dreaming Techniques&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:arial;"&gt;"&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:arial;"&gt;I set aside the following concepts:  Ego, Fear, Expectations, Sexual Desires and lesser desires, belief in time, belief in physical body, belief in physical law leaving all of these concepts with physical systems so that while in the dream state only the raw experience can go as unfiltered as possible.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;font-family:arial;font-size:130%;"  &gt;The process of falling asleep. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:arial;"&gt;As I start to fall asleep, visual imaginations seem to happen nearly instantly.  I start to see in a 2D window view people walking, I am not even physically asleep yet and unable to engage them in a full-Spectrum 3D dream environment.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:arial;"&gt;Hypnogogia then emerges.  I look at the fractal pattern.  It is a repeat fractal of triangles that have a clear black triangle and blue triangle creating the pattern.  They form clouds and rotations.  I am becoming more relaxed. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:arial;"&gt;The hypnogogia morphs into dream imagery, I visually click into a field where I dump a pot of soup into some flowers and some ladies are angry at me for doing so. I am still falling asleep but my sense of vision is completely involved in this imagery.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:arial;"&gt;I click back to the hypnogogia  and semi-awaken state.  Audible sounds emerge, I hear my wife calling for me.  This and the visual patterns confirm that key indicators of lucid dream success are nearly imminent.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:arial;"&gt;My body drops off, I go into complete darkness for a second emerging in a car.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style=";font-family:arial;font-size:130%;"  &gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;The Lucid Dream &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:arial;"&gt;The dream starts and I am sitting in my black 2006 Saturn Ion holding the steering wheel.  I am a bit confused and bewildered.  I wonder if I am drunk or stoned because I am not thinking clearly.  I decide that I better pull myself together before I drive.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:arial;"&gt;Looking out of the window, I see a lady who has a semi-automatic rifle and she aims it at a house and shoots.  I am in shock at this.  Then I realize that I am in proximity to what could be a psychotic woman with a gun who is going to go on a killing rampage.  &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:arial;"&gt;I notice some people start running towards her and she is now walking down the street.  She turns and shoots at them, they scatter and I start my car.  She is walking towards my general direction but not looking at me yet.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:arial;"&gt;Now I am fully awake and alert but not aware this is a dream quite yet.  Fearful for other people instead of driving away, I decide I must make any effort to stop this woman before she kills anyone else, even if it means I die trying.  I take a deep breath and with my resolve I step on the gas and point my car right at her.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:arial;"&gt;She notices me and takes aim but I am moving and ducking left to right as I drive and this throws off her aim.  She seems to be holding her ground and I have the car pinned.  Now the Saturn doesn't have the best pickup speed and this is very well portrayed in the dream.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:arial;"&gt;That said, she just opens fire and I slam the car into her sending her flying over the windshield and roof.  I speed around a corner and take off.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:arial;"&gt;My inner though asks me, “You just hit a woman!  You might of killed her.”&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:arial;"&gt;Then start laughing, realizing I am dreaming.  “Yes, she got what she deserved, she was on a rampage.”&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:arial;"&gt;My inner thought then asks, “You know you are dreaming now, would you have done that in real life?”&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:arial;"&gt;“It is tough to say what happens in circumstances such as these, I have a lot to live for with a family but I know that I am capable of taking action in an effort to save others.”, I reply.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:arial;"&gt;I look at my hands holding the steering wheel, the detail of the car is perfect.  I fully realize I am dreaming by now and decide to drive the car back to see what the end result is.  When I get there and park partly on the sidewalk.  There is nothing there.  No people, nor the woman I shot at.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:arial;"&gt;I don't expect there to be, I decide to go with the flow.  My daughter who is 12 is there.  She is special needs.  Has a long list of complications from brain-damage at birth, down-syndrome, autism and pervasive learning disorder.   I wonder if we are somehow mutually sharing the dream.  I decide to treat it as if that is the case.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:arial;"&gt;I walk to her and take her hand.  It feels like her hand, the same textures and size.  I am very aware of my tactile senses.  I look at her and she smiles.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:arial;"&gt;“Looks like we get to hang out in a dream?”, I tell her.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:arial;"&gt;“Let's just go for a walk to the beach and have some fun, how does that sound?”, I ask her.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:arial;"&gt;She nods.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:arial;"&gt;I wonder just how she may interpret dream data.  I imagine that she is quite capable of dreaming in the same vivid spectrum of detail that I am experiencing with her.  I am very curious and happy to have this opportunity to be in a lucid dream and simply walk with her to the beach.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:arial;"&gt;As we walk I tell her that I don't want her to limit herself here.  That she is still a very special person that has the same freedom to grow and be limitless. She just looks at me smiling and walking in her complicated walk that she usually does.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:arial;"&gt;As we walk, I decide to tell people that this is a dream in the event of any mutual exchange is possible.  It seems every time I am lucid I cannot dismiss this opportunity having had mutual dreams in the past.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:arial;"&gt;People don't really seem to respond to well.  I stop a couple and tell them they are dreaming and they just tell me to piss off and walk away.  There is this african lady and I hear her say, “This is my dreamworld, not yours.”&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:arial;"&gt;“If this is your dream, then I really want to talk to you.”, I reply.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:arial;"&gt;She ignores me and continues walking, “If you are dreaming, let's talk about this dream.  I want to know more about what you think about it.”&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:arial;"&gt;“Just go away, leave me a lone.  You are not real!”, she tells me.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:arial;"&gt;“I am real enough to talk with, let's just chat about your dream.”, I ask... but it's too late she vanishes leaving the dog she was walking bewildered as it looked around for her.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:arial;"&gt;My interaction with her caught the attention of a person who seems to be an amputee.  He is probably in his 50's, a bit weathered looking and he angrily yells at me, “Get out of here, no one wants some crazy person bothering them!”&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:arial;"&gt;I walk over to him, “This is just a dream, there is no harm in talking with each other.”&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:arial;"&gt;He seems to respond to the dialog and replies, “This is not a dream, you crazy son-of-a-bitch!  Get out of her before you piss me off!”&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:arial;"&gt;He pushes me with his one good arm and I let him.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:arial;"&gt;“There is no need to get violent, you won't be able to hurt me even if you tried.”, I explain.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:arial;"&gt;“You wanna make a bet?  You don't think I could kick your ass?”, he yells.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:arial;"&gt;I calmly stand there looking at him knowing I am dreaming and I laugh, “No, you couldn't hurt me even if you tried.  Go a head, hit me if you want.”&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:arial;"&gt;He pushes me and grabs my arm and I don't resist.  “You won't be thinking this is a dream if I bite your damn finger off!”, he yells.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:arial;"&gt;I laugh, “Go ahead, bite my finger off.  This is a dream, I will prove it to you.”&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:arial;"&gt;He is a bit shocked that I am not resisting, not afraid and allowing him to just do what ever he wants.  Angry at my claim that this is a dream, he sets out to start to bite my finger.  He bites into it and it really does hurt.  I can feel his teeth press the flesh of my finger against the bone.  This is a rare sensation of bone; I seldom have that much tactile clarity but regardless of the pain signal, the detailed realism of the event.  I stand resolved that I am dreaming and know it's no big deal, I let it continue.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:arial;"&gt;“It's ok, you can keep biting the finger clear off if you want.  I don't mind.  It's starting to bleed and I think you really need to bite harder.”, I tell him as he is kind of crunched forward holding my arm gnawing on my finger looking up at me from his side profile.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:arial;"&gt;I just enjoy the experience, I look at the blood now running out where the teeth join my finger.  In frustration, he lets go and I show him my hand.  There is a bite size loose piece of flesh in the middle of my index finger.  Instantly I heal the finger and all the blood disappears.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:arial;"&gt;“There, it's good as new, this is a dream this should be your first piece of evidence.”, I tell him.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:arial;"&gt;It seems like his mouth is sore and he has loosened some teeth and one of them starts to fall out. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:arial;"&gt;“You teeth are not falling out, this is another very common dream experience where we construct a fear that our teeth are falling out when in reality you are fine.  Don't give that too much attention, this is a dream.  I assure you.”, I tell him.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:arial;"&gt;He looks at me amazed and bewildered.  “It can't be a dream!  It's real!”, he tells me.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:arial;"&gt;“Dreams are real, when you are able to observe them.  They are a kind of dream reality.”, I point at the sidewalk and cause the concrete to start to reveal a hypnogogia mesh underlying the concrete.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:arial;"&gt;He looks at that and it really gets his attention.  “Oh my god, this is a dream!” he yells.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:arial;"&gt;“Enjoy the dream, and tell all your friends.” I tell him as I then take my daughter's hand and decide that now is a good time just to enjoy our walk on the beach.  I was satisfied in trying to connect with others.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:arial;"&gt;We walk down the beach and the sand feels nice.  It's a beautiful day.  I could see the Ocean.  We were walking on a sidewalk that had bricks laid down with a concrete rim.  There were people sitting on the beach, some had lawn chairs, others towels.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:arial;"&gt;I just walk in silence with my daughter and just enjoyed our time.  I wondered about dream objectivity and if she in any way is actually with me.  Having had mutual dreams I do not doubt that possibility but then wonder how on Earth could she ever tell me.  She can't speak in real life.  This produces an impossible realization that in no way could I ever know; she couldn't understand or confirm a mutual dream.  I muse on these thoughts as we walk.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:arial;"&gt;After a while of walking, she disappeared.  .&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:arial;"&gt;During the walk, she disappears.  I decide to go look for her.  I walk back the way I came, past the finger biter who is still there looking at his hand and clearly in deep thought.  I walk to the place where I first met my daughter and enter an apartment building.  &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:arial;"&gt;I walk around the hallways for a while and it's like a maze, I feel a bit lost so decide to use the elevator.   At first there is only one floor on the elevator; which makes no sense.  I press the button and the elevator just opens at the same floor.  The reason for this is I am loosing awareness that I am dreaming.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:arial;"&gt;When the button's change again to a new set and I hit a secret basement key labeled “F”; I do a reality check and realize I am dreaming again.  I stop and just observe the dream. I examine the stark reality of it.  &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:arial;"&gt;The elevator door feels like real steel.  I see my reflection in the grainy steel.  I look up and see a black widow web with insects stuck in; there is no spider.  This causes me to remember many dreams I have had where very aggressive and exaggerated spiders have attacked me.  I laugh about them and know not to project such thoughts into that web.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:arial;"&gt;I simply observe the details and how clear they are rendering.  If I didn't have a keen sense of dreaming there is no question the overwhelming realism that presents itself would certainly make me think otherwise.  &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:arial;"&gt;Here I am, in this lucid dream experience and so far it's been a lot of wandering around and although interesting and fun it seemed to lack anything purposeful.  I decide that I want more from the dream then just details and environments; that is never going to change.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:arial;"&gt;I have been in e-mail communication with a few researchers.  There are two that I have spoken with that I thought if in any way I could induce a mutual dream amongst us; that would prove to be one of the more interesting topics in our e-mail exchange.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:arial;"&gt;I focus my intent and then focus on them.  Perhaps dragging two into a dream is a bit much but I feel the effort of trying is far more important then not.  The first obvious problem was I was stuck in an elevator; or at least thought I was in an elevator.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:arial;"&gt;They were not present so I would have to try to summon them here.  I started with that tangent and focused on their names, even saying out-loud that I want to summon them to my dream.  I focus and call out, even stick my hands out but all this does is cause the texture of the elevator to swirl into hypnogogic meshes.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:arial;"&gt;I completely remove the elevator and all sensory details away by f
