Thread: Lucid Encouragement

I always loved space and thought it would make an incredible Lucid Dream. I can't post links yet so I cant embed these pictures but if you just Google space and go to google images you will get an idea of what i am talking about.

As for movies I recommend watching "The Fountain" I'm pretty sure the trailer will be enough to convince most people here to watch it. The movie is basically one giant LD . "The Fountain is a story of love, death, spirituality, and the fragility of our existence in this world"

"Inception" made me start LDing, not because it made me came in contact with LDing, I knew about lucid dreams way before that, but because it mindblown me so much I was constantly worried whether am I in reality or dreaming.

Carl Jung's theories are a good stepping stone for anyone who is interested in psychology to be interested in lucid dreaming too.

Whereas for the Sandman in Rise of the Guardians, it made me wonder whether wishing for happy dreams is essential in our daily lives. We need some bad dreams occasionally to let our conscious know what is still affecting us in our lives that we have no idea of because it's hidden deep in us. I don't mind bad dreams but I personally mind morally disturbing dreams.

Good ones everyone! I really enjoy reading this stuff Bossman is it the fountain with Hugh Jackman? That looks really cool!

Carot. I was gonna ask the sandman his thoughts on lucid dreaming. that is pretty cool. I was gonna ask the boogeyman why he hasn't visited my dreams in 12 years.

I have! Though when I did it, I was thinking about the show Heroes, and not X-Men. But yes, I've regenerated plenty of times. It feels awesome when you see the wounds closing up on their own

I want a lucid dream in the Harry Potter world!

So adding harry potter into the list! I love it. I have had about 10 harry potter dreams in the last month, just from it constantly being on my mind. Haha.

That is awesome paige! I need to try that!

Paprika! I love this movie and it is very dream related, though it is an japanese animation may be a turn off for some. But it encourages me everytime when I just hear the music from the Parade or see it. I want to be part of the Parade!

Also "The Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind" is kinda related I guess, though in the movies it was more about "Memories", but because dreams just exists in your Memory I thought I could mention it here, at least it came to mind when I thought about movies that are related to lucid dreams / dreams :3

And if this thread is not just about Movies that are related to lucid dreaming exclusively but also to places you want to visit from movies or have visited, I would wish to visit the Wall from A Song Of Ice and Fire, I once went their in a non-lucid and it was awesome but I would love to visit the place and others from A Song of Ice and Fire when lucid.

Oceandrop. Yep this is about anything that you have seen that makes you want to lucid so that you can go there/experience that.

Maybe you can add BLEACH. I always get motivated when I think of my goals which are very related to it. Maybe create a zanpakuto and have it as my dream guide!

That would be awesome. I love bleach idea as well. You can't fond your zanpaktou unless you go into yourself. that would be a fun time. Bleach also makes me want to meditate! Get to know it. New additions to my goals list! Zanpaktou and achieve bankai! Visit soul society! I love the ideas guys! Keep them coming. I have never wanted to LD more.

Go at it guys

Nice one Mastermind. I am gonna check out the songs today when I get a chance. Hey, you have Pan's Labyrinth on there. Have you read "The Book of Lost Things."? It is really amazing and reminds me a lot of Pan's Labyrinth. Also something to put on the list. Spirited Away is pretty amazing. Hayao Miyazaki is brilliant.

Hey, what is The Art of Dreaming about? It sounds pretty good, but I can't find a summary about it.

Sorry Micael. I am a ninja (naruto) fan, I don't like pirates... or Luffy.

I have a book called 'The Dragon Paths' by Frena Bloomfield. It sold very few copies and was published like 40 years ago, but it is by far my favourite book ^^ when I get lucid, I'd love to be in the landscape from this book

No I haven't read that book but thanks for telling me. The Art of Dreaming is the story of the teachings of the Sorcerer Don Juan, and is actually the book that inspired Robert Waggoner to write his. It's a very spiritual book and even though the experiences described in the book might not be right, there is many really good chapters on induction methods and intent and also dream control.

Don Juan talks about different Gates that one cross in order to master the art of dreaming and the book is sort of like a diary of how Don Juans apprentice (possibly Carlos Castaneda himself) learn how to fly on the wings of intent and his journey from a western minded skeptic to a experienced dreamer.

I have read the book about 7 times because there is so much to learn from it. ^-^

Also listen to Lights by Swedish House Mafia, to me this sounds like a typical WILD attempt but as a song.
(To understand what I mean think of every second that goes by in that song as a minute and around 1 H 30 M mark the dreaming slowly starts.. And after a few cycles of chaining dreams (2:30 min into the song), the holy stable lucid dream is yours! )

Sword Art Online! :'D
And Once Piece woot! I want to do a One Piece LD. The soundtracks of the anime motivates me as well. I have a lot of movies/animes/shows and other stuff that I want to do! :'D

Edit: Also want to explore the Skyrim world, or better yet, the whole Tamriel! :'D

Every one must check out the movie "What Dreams May Come" with Robin Williams, and "Vanilla Sky" with Tom Cruise!!!

Can I add a few exclamation points for effect? !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!!!!!!What Dreams May Come!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!Vanilla Sky!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!


These two movies are completely awesome and directly about lucid dreaming!!! The plots do not specifically call it lucid dreaming, but that is what they are based on. I can't believe in 19 posts those two did not come up!!! See them as soon as you can.

For songs: Dream Weaver, and Silent Lucidity


This is not related to lucid dreaming, but the movie is very dream like and amazingly colorful, "Moulin Rouge"

A movie that really encourages me to lucid dream or anything spiritual related is " Donnie Darko " .
Maybe because it makes me really think. Watch it if you're interested in time travel.

I love what dreams may come. That movie is so out there. Donnie Darko is one of my favorites. But it is more about tangent universes then time travel, .

Been meaning to watch vanilla sky. It looks pretty good, but I have a lot of other things that get in my way when I want to watch a movie.

Have nothing to add. I am too tired to think of anything.

If you like stuff like Donnie Darko, seriously, at least check out the trailer to "The Fountain" and I'm sure you will want to watch it in full.

Awesome, do you know where I can find it? I do not torrent. that normally limits the choices quite a bit.

If your not willing to torrent, I'm sure you can find it at your local Bestbuy or Fry's Electronics. If you opt for online methods then I suggest Amazon.

If you do not torrent how on earth can you watch anime properly!!! xD
