DILD-1 Syllabus

[Puffin]

Professor: Puffin Summary Hello dreamers! This course is designed to teach you about the basics of the DILD, or dream induced lucid dream, method. I will be your teacher for three classes that focus mainly on awareness, and why it's important in successfully having a lucid dream. We'll also discuss the initial surge of excitement lucid dreams can produce, and how to combat it. Finally, you'll learn about two different dream control methods, and with the information given you'll be able to determine which one suits you best! Requirements - You should be keeping a dream journal and have decent dream recall. Class Overview There will be classes on the dates below, each held in the Dreamviews IRC chat. All times are in -6 GMT, so be sure to adjust your timetable accordingly (click here for a time zone converter). Each class will have an estimated time of 45 minutes but may go on a bit longer, so be prepared.
