Hi, i'm Sam, from sunny Bournemouth England. I spent the first 21 years of my life with what I can only describe as tunnelled vision. Spending all my time living life but not really examining it. I could of told you more about solving an equation or the life processes of a distant star than I could tell you about my own mind. I became very miserable and depressed. Since I have been paying a lot attention to inner life and spirituality. I don't believe or Gods or that humans have any control over the material world but the complexity revealed in the mind when you truly look at it is staggering.
My attraction to dreams I mostly due to their elusive nature from my perspective. I've always been poor at dream recall. Getting slowly better now. Also, in my opinion, spending 7-8 hours of every day of my life completely uncognizant seems a terrible waste. Through exploring my dreaming mind I will claw back as many hours of experience as I possibly can. If I could reach a stage of 1hr of vivid, aware, lucid and most importantly, remembered dreams a night then I would essentially be 'alive' for 7hrs extra a week. 364 hours a year. Closing ones eyes in the morning and then opening them in the morning is not truly living.
