Thread: Arts featuring dreams, dream logic, dream imagery

There are great tutorials on the DV Wiki page DV Tutorials - Lucid Dreaming - Dream Views

Imagining something as you fall asleep works for me. And waking up every 90 minutes after falling asleep is great for recall (maybe you've already dreamed of a gallery full of drawings and sculptures but woke up and forgot it). I set my first alarm 4.5 hours of sleep, write the dream in my journal, set my alarm for 90 minuntes later and then go back to sleep. Then I wake up, journal, set the alarm 90 minutes later sleep. Why 90 minutes? Because you dream in the REM period and it occurs every 90 minutes on average. Telling yourself you will dream of an art gallery 100 times before falling asleep also really helps. First imagine walking around in an art gallery (you can just think of art you have already seen, what matters is the visualising) and as you get a little sleepy, start counting down from 100 to 1. It would be great if you can fall asleep while you are still counting/autosuggesting.

Yeah, I've read those tutorials, but they are very helpful! But I do know how to perform those methods - I'm more looking for the movies, albums, books, etc. that people watch, listen to, or read during a WBTB or right before going to sleep. I want to know what dream-oriented external media people like to use for these methods!

Well, there's plenty of those too There are the obvious ones, like Inception or Waking Life, those popular films, or some widely known books. But I think lighting up your imagination and creativity can be done more directly than just reading about it or watching films about it. Here some guy has a list of 10 visually stunning movies, stuff like that always has a positive effect on my dreams. http://unrealitymag.com/index.php/20...last-10-years/ I am very curious about 'The Fountain' and 'speed racer', I could get amazing dreams by just looking at screenshots and fantasizing about them o.0 The Fountain is a movie with three parallel stories, the past, present and future and spans over a thousand years. Promises some epic material doesn't it? The Rise Of The Guardians seems like a movie for kids but it fired up my imagination and got me a cool lucid dream with the powers of the main character

Yeah, The Fountain is pretty great. LSD Dream Emulator is a good game, too, and I'd add Begotten to my list of films. Waking Life has always been my favorite of the bunch; it always gives me pretty vivid (sometimes lucid) dreams when I watch it. Thanks for the help, Ginsan!
