Thread: Now Hiring! - Lucid Dream Book project - Want in?

Instead of a book...Can you make it a online refrence guide? er umm... Is it for profit? I didnt read all of the forum but I was just curious.

1. Are you interested in working full time or part time on this project? (Full time would be like 1 hr. a day, part time would be anything less than that)
Part Time (i can be here almost Full time but can't guarantee an hour EVERY day)
2. Are you a good editor? (Please link some of your work if possible)
I am, i believe a thesaurus and a dictionary are must haves for any writer.
3. Are you a good writer? (Please link some of your work if possible)
I am currently writing a book that i have been developing for going on 3 years now, although i cannot link it here, but if you would like i can send some bits and pieces to you via email, as to i am very protective of it.
4. Is organization one of your strong suits? (In terms of content, chapters etc.)
I'm good , not outstanding though. I constantly double, triple and most often quadruple check myself
5. List any prior experience you may have had regarding working on a book
Currently writing one
6. Is lucid dreaming a strong suit of yours?
I am decent at WILD's, but mostly it occurs in the dream for me, usually i take control after the dream has started (more than not at the beginning of it).
7. Are you good at brainstorming? Or do you tend to set off fire alarms...
I'm a killer brain stormer, I am ALWAYS thinking about my book, or my art interests. I'm always finding myself taking things from every hour and saying "Could that hold up in my stories? Might that be an interesting scene, or could i relate that to something in my literature?" I'm a What if kind of person.
8. Do you remain current on lucid dreaming studies and new information regarding the subject in general? (If so, please give a brief explanation)
I only watch Science channel, Discovery, Nat Geo, History Channel, and anything else having to do with furthering ones knowledge on anything and everything. I record anything having to do with it on my DVR, i research videos and other articles on it almost on a daily basis
9. Is graphic designing a strong suit of yours? (please list examples if applicable)
I'm not a pro but i am very skilled in it, i don't have an album because most of my work i do for second or third parties. I can do anything i want, it just takes me a few days longer if i haven't done it before, I just have to study it for a little bit and then i can do it. I'm self taught in many aspects of Graphic Design and proficient in most of them. I have posted some of my work for others on this Forum site.
10. What do you feel you could bring to the table on this project? How do you feel you'll be of most help?
I know i can bring an artistic ability that will stand toe to toe with most others here, I have a knack for writing that is the center of my life. I can write Chapters, paragraphs or just side notes, I know how to word a piece of literature so that the reader is convinced i'm speaking the words to him/her, or can very easily vision what i'm speaking of. I always go over my writing to see if there's anything that can be done better or in a more professional way. Touching on the Graphic Design area again, I know that visual aids are a giant contributor to any literature in that it helps ease the subconscious mind in trying to process and store the information for later referencing and a better understanding of the vision the author(s) are trying to communicate to the reader.
11. How old are you?
20 going on 21 with the wisdom of a 80 year old
12. How long have you been lucid dreaming?
I've been Lucid Dreaming since I was around 16 when i was being plagued by an onslaught of nightmares because of problems in the home, so i began looking for a way to end the nightmares and usher the more nonchalant and whimsical dreams back.
13. How proficient of a lucid dreamer are you?
I'm still working on a technique to induce them definitively, but almost 90% percent of my dreams i have i assume control of and redirect it to a more 'Directed' version of what the dream may have been. Usually If i don't take control of a dream i'm either wanting it to end to get a more peaceful sleep, or just not in the mood to Lucid Dream so i almost ignore the dream other that sitting back and allowing it to entertain me.
14. How many books on lucid dreaming have you read (please list each one, and what stuck out about each one to you)?
I've read many pieces from alot of different books, but mostly the one i've fully read is The Art of Dreaming by Carlos Castaneda. I find the book, at it's core, has the means to help the patient practitioner achieve their first Lucid Dream if taken with a grain of salt. That is that if you solely concentrate on the dreaming aspect and not the other ideas and theories listed and detailed within.
15. What studies do you read that pertain to dreams, sleeping in general, or lucid dreams?
“Lucid dreaming: Evidence that REM sleep can support unimpaired cognitive function and a powerful methodology for studying the psychophysiology of dreaming” by Stephen LaBerge. Commentary in a special issue on dreaming in Behavioral and Brain Sciences (2000). “Varieties of Lucid Dreaming Experience” by Stephen LaBerge and Don DeGracia. The meaning of “lucid dreaming.” How do lucid dreams relate to “astral projection” and OBEs? Variations in lucid dream initiation. Perceptual variations. Emotions. Volition and action. Termination of lucid dreams. Frederik van Eeden's 1913 article, “A Study of Dreams” in which the term “lucid” dreaming is first used. Thanks to Lucidity Institute member Blake Wilfong ([email protected]) for making this classic available. http://dreamstudies.org/
16. Additional comments you'd like to add:
As i stated above, I am currently working on a book. I am not always writing it and often find myself needing to exercise my abilities so that i'm not under prepared when i delve back into developing my own book. I find it easier to do something if it has meaning and purpose than to just do it for the momentary joy of going threw the motions of doing it.

side note: i would love to lend my talents and time to this project, although if you do not hire me to the staff, be aware i will write a counter book that will rise above and beyond the popularity and effective usage of this one!

j/k, i would never compromise such a promising piece of work that this is warranting itself to be.

1. Are you interested in working full time or part time on this project? (Full time would be like 1 hr. a day, part time would be anything less than that)

For the next 6 months I shall be without educational oppression so , in other words, very full time. (I'd even contribute just for the credit)

2. Are you a good editor? (Please link some of your work if possible)

I can read, re-read, and edit anything you throw at me, though have done nothing professional...

3. Are you a good writer? (Please link some of your work if possible)

Short answer: yes; long answer:...but I'm a smartass about EVERYTHING (I could not be though...)

4. Is organization one of your strong suits? (In terms of content, chapters etc.)

I can pump out ideas like, for instance, Orson Scott Card makes his chapters progressively longer. This makes a book AMAZINGLY easy to read and draw knowledge from.

5. List any prior experience you may have had regarding working on a book

I started making the skeleton for a book about EVERY life experience and how to deal with it but gave up after a couple arrests and a month in a mental hospital...

6. Is lucid dreaming a strong suit of yours?

I have a VERY powerful and unique mind. Stubborn yet easily mailable. I've had about a dozen lucid dreams but they were all insane.

7. Are you good at brainstorming? Or do you tend to set off fire alarms...

A little bit of both...

8. Do you remain current on lucid dreaming studies and new information regarding the subject in general? (If so, please give a brief explanation)

Like mario92 (on this site), I am VERY into binaural beats and Isochronic tones that affect the mind. I ingest herbs and supplements in an attempt to "unlock" my mind...

9. Is graphic designing a strong suit of yours? (please list examples if applicable)

Nej, good sir. Nej.

10. What do you feel you could bring to the table on this project? How do you feel you'll be of most help?

I can manage the digital side of the project. Organize files EXACTLY how you want them etc...

11. How old are you?

20

12. How long have you been lucid dreaming?

6 months...ish

13. How proficient of a lucid dreamer are you?

With practice I could be having a couple of 'em a night in almost no time.

14. How many books on lucid dreaming have you read (please list each one, and what stuck out about each one to you)?

Just ETWOLD....but I say "just" loosely. I re-read it many-a-time.

15. What studies do you read that pertain to dreams, sleeping in general, or lucid dreams?

See above AND I watch every Adult Swim anime and comedy and they all seem to be going in the direction of mental, physical, and material transcendence...

16. Additional comments you'd like to add:

When I have dreams (Which I take [prescription] drugs NOT to have), they are usual set in the future and 95% of the ones I have had have been manifested in the real, waking world. This is where the mental hospital visits come into play. For a while there I was loosing my mind!

Will go track down Jeff to go over your applications guys, so sit tight.

thnx

3. Are you a good writer? (Please link some of your work if possible) I'm a good writer. I don't have many things on the internet, but... some old writing assignments are still posted on my old blog. www.kaliikoa.tumblr.com/jamiegoesmoo Sorry for the lack of resource. If those writings look childish, it's because they are sorely outdated.

4. Is organization one of your strong suits? (In terms of content, chapters etc.) Organization... I wouldn't call it my best foot forward, but it's simple enough.

5. List any prior experience you may have had regarding working on a book- I write short stories, and the occasional theoretical debate article. Not much experience in book work, but concept consulting and artistic writing are what I am for.

6. Is lucid dreaming a strong suit of yours? Yes, lucid dreaming and lucid dream control have been a large part of my interests for quite a few years.

7. Are you good at brainstorming? Or do you tend to set off fire alarms... Brainstorming, most definitly. I've been waiting for what seems like forever for the write group of minds to brainstorm- with. This website is incredible.

16. Additional comments you'd like to add: I'm not exactly sure what getting hired entails, but if this is a serious attempt to publish a book about lucid dreaming, I would appreciate the opportunity to help!

Oh wow, I just realized that this... is a pretty old post.

My Poem is called

In-SPIRIT! The Now , written September 4th,2011..By Steph Ewing

She's a girl of mystery, picking carefully who she incites. She admires the weird and wacky, cherishes the truthful honesty.
She captures your breath in an instant, the second she gives you that anticipated gaze.
For that moment your souls reunite to the point that they forgot in a glimpse is gone, thought of as a familiar face or event.
You all feel and know that there is so much more, we long for the knowledge and conversations of philosophy about the unknown worlds.
The question we have no answers for but are still so eager to learn.
It is continuous, this never ends....

You breath each day effortlessly and wonder why when your eyes are closed at night you have no knowledge your life is always happening, even until that moment you awake, you realize its all just made.

I treasure the purity and confidence that we all make mistakes, there is no sense living a mistake if it cant be learnt from!
The bond of assumption, the ooh aah of basketballs! Just assume its a miracle.
Rumbling the skies despise the lies but embrace our grace and remind us that we are never alone. To the glow that comes when you await it will never make you disinformate.

The year of those born in 1982...I feel we are a soul of each of numerous lives. We have grown to transform and we're born to live our aged lives of wisdom into a new found love that is one to all. We experience times when there is no hope and for that moment we cant see another, but its back again.
We are here and forgot our purpose which is to live and enjoy our experience that we have waited for.
The life we chose before birth and our parents who knew, allowed us to live our wishes with these experiences, bad, ugly, beautiful and mean to see what we needed to learn to full fill our very growth to add to the source we all illuminate.

As I lay in my bed and write from my true soul. I am allowing it to flow. I am being my, so. I know this is so right...Our chance to let them all know that, what we are so capable of could never not grow.

We are here to discover the truth that we are all from the same but one infinite soul. Our experience can be felt threw another just cause they are ours as well.
Our time is here to reprehend those things we let matter through the mind created our weight and kept us behind, but now is the space and time that is being left, forever is now & infinite let.
Let there be constant bursts of protons to smack until its absorbed this all felt set. The sun that is soon to be a traveled star, again it sinks back and another transcends. The sky is so sweet & felt in my lungs.
I breath this life this beauty this amazing joy to feel and be in this moment with nature.
It is not ever I don't feel your pain in an unusual way.
What is real? I know that I am here! I see I am beneath this physical mind and skin., these lashes percolate.
I hear the thunder in a distance and it sounds like I am speaking to myself threw this mind made pen.
I never know what to make ?
Now is this real? or is this a dream...?
I love this feeling of writing with ease., the thoughts come to me like a fresh breeze.
I am allowing it to flow & believe I can always be gracious and know, Its insight with gratitude and a gift from and for you.

The one who hears and reads me now is here in my time of wonder! he/she loves and does not want to let go!



4. Is organization one of your strong suits? (In terms of content, chapters etc.)
This was the first poem I ever wrote.

5. List any prior experience you may have had regarding working on a book
For one year now I have been wanting to write my own book but I just don't know what to write about or how..? lol

6. Is lucid dreaming a strong suit of yours?
I lucid dream pretty much every night and I am aware I am dreaming in my dreams as well as can control my dreams. I absolutely love dreaming and always have. I am extremely curious as to what is real sometimes...I have so many bodies and know so many people in my dreams that are similar to people on earth. I can fly in my dreams...breath under water. I can think things and they happen. So yes Lucid Dreaming is a strong suit of mine.

7. Are you good at brainstorming? Or do you tend to set off fire alarms...
I am better at feelstorming

8. Do you remain current on lucid dreaming studies and new information regarding the subject in general? (If so, please give a brief explanation)
I haven't done that much studying on new information but I opened an account on this website tonight cause this is a very cool website I happened to stumble upon. I have researched Astral Travelling and I usually Google my dreams and read forums of other peoples dreams but haven't yet found any as wild as mine, but I am sure there is others out there that have wild and vivid ones like me..

9. Is graphic designing a strong suit of yours? (please list examples if applicable)
It could be, I paint

10. What do you feel you could bring to the table on this project? How do you feel you'll be of most help?
I believe I could be apart of the group in brainstorming and figuring out what the dream world is really about and how we can consciously change the outcome of our lives here on earth by simply figuring out how to control our dreams so that we can use up that realm to deal with our meaningful lessons that we are here to learn. I just love talking about dreams and would work for free cause it is what I love. That's pretty much it..

11. How old are you?
30

12. How long have you been lucid dreaming?
ever since I was born

13. How proficient of a lucid dreamer are you?
I don't believe I am all that proficient of a lucid dreamer cause I haven't actually worked as a lucid dreamer.

14. How many books on lucid dreaming have you read (please list each one, and what stuck out about each one to you)?
I haven't read any books on Lucid Dreaming......very smart idea...

15. What studies do you read that pertain to dreams, sleeping in general, or lucid dreams?
I haven't read of any recently or that I know off my heart.

16. Additional comments you'd like to add: I am honored that you are delving into such a cool topic for a book. I guarantee I will purchase it no matter what happens! Best of luck and hopefully we meet in the dream world.
Sincerely Steph

Pro Tip: This book simply isn't going to happen. At least not any time soon.

If you guys want to translate the book into French once it's done, I'd like that.
