Thread: I need an army of lucid dreamers...

Don't worry, it's nothing that involves travel. Once/if the project really gets into full swing, then there will be events, but that's far in the future. Small steps to start with!

Hit me up if you need help with any code.

Thanks IAmCoder, I may well do that! What's your speciality?

UPDATE: Chat session tonight. 22:30 BST (that's pretty much a few minutes from the time of making this post). I'll be in the chat room for about an hour - possibly longer, to share ideas and receive feedback from those who want a preview.
I've previously been unable to log into the DreamViews chat, so to avoid risking that I've created a temporary chat room here: CHAT FINISHED FOR TONIGHT
It's password protected so please use the password: dreamviews2016

EDIT: The chat session is finished for tonight, thanks to those who took part in the chat, was lovely to get to know you better! I'll host another chat in the near future for those who missed it.

Mobile, biometrics and security. And open source lucidity stuff when I'm not hacking for government agencies.

You might remember seeing some of my work when Bill Murphy was using my code for DreamNet.

I own the book...if you are who you say you are, I'm game. I signed up.

@Rothgar - Thanks for signing up! I can assure you I am who I say I am.

Just a quick update for everyone. I finally managed to put together a video for the project, not without a lot of sweat, tears and swearing - but it's done, so that means things can move forward finally.
I think I'm probably about a week away from releasing the project now. Now I just need to work on a press release and drumming up interest to the wider world - if any of you have media contacts or journalist friends, I'd very much appreciate your help in getting the word out to them. Drop me a message either here or via PM if you do.

One week...

Wow I haven't been on dreamviews in such a long time! I've been so busy for the lat several months...it feels a little weird to be posting here again.

Anyways, my schedule has been freed up considerably and I've decided what better way to fill up that time than with getting back into LDing. And this project couldn't have come with better timing! It's the exact thing I need to get the motivation to get back full swing into LDing again.

Hopefully beginning LDers are accepted into this project because that's what my skills will be...I haven't tried to LD in a very long time, but I signed up anyway. I hope this proves to be very interesting

Signed up and excited about whatever this will be!

I'm cautiously optimistic about this "whatever it is." I didn't get to participate in the chat, so I feel a bit un-informed. Well...whatever. I'm taking a wait and see attitude.

This sounds interesting. Looking forward to hearing more about it.

Hopefully this will be something interesting. Signed up.

Hi all,

Some good news, things have so far been going to plan, so my contingency schedule is unlikely to be required. So, what this means is that the project will hopefully be released this weekend rather than the week after.

So, with that in mind if any of you have any media contacts - bloggers, journalists, youtube content creators etc., no matter how local or small scale they are, and you think you'd be able to drop them an e-mail about the project, send me an private message and I can send you the press release to share with them. Or, if it's easier for you, PM me their details and I can do the sending myself.

Thanks again to everyone for your support and help so far!

Signed up. Look forward to reading more. Good luck.

Cognitive Restructuring and Lucid Dreaming allow us to access powerful, mostly untapped, resources.
Hopefully awareness and understanding will reach a critical mass to where these skills are common sense and common knowledge, and everyone will enjoy their benefits.
Sounds like your contributions will help us reach that critical point.

Thank you for your work.

I'm in the same exact position VirtualReality. I took a long break from Dreamviews and I really miss it. I used to be really passionate about lucid dreaming and helping others learn. Now I have to start over but I think that's okay. I would be happy to contribute if this turns into something productive.

Hi everyone,

Thanks to all of you who've signed up and shared positive messages. I'll be frank, it has been a great source of inspiration on while staying up far too late and losing sleep putting all this together. I know it sounds a bit naff, but you helped remind me that lucid dreaming is really something very special - and not necessarily in the obvious ways. When you think about it, it's this uniquely private experience, perhaps the most private of all, yet it brings this vast group of diverse people together; all trying to unravel its secrets. It'll be nice to finally launch, which is happening this weekend, and get the ball rolling towards (hopefully) getting more real voices out there and undoing some of the less positive aspects that have invaded subject.

I'll be back tomorrow evening or Saturday morning, and I'll finally be able to stop being so vague, which will be a huge relief! .

I signed up but I can't promise to be a great help or to always be there because my exams are starting and I haven't had a lucid dream in a while now

Hey all, great news... the project is live!

You can find out all about it here: https://www.kickstarter.com/projects...-to-the-cosmos

Initially I need your help to spread the word, so if you can share on facebook, twitter etc. that would be wonderful.

Once we've reached the goal... then we can all work on the more interesting side of things!

I'll be glued to the laptop this evening, so I'll be popping in to chat as and when I take a break

Project looks great, Daniel!

Thank you for listing Dreamviews as a supporter and for linking to our forum! Good luck with the project : D

Hey all,

Thanks to everyone who is getting behind this project so far.

The most important thing any of you can do at this point is spread the news!

So if you could take the time to shout out on your social media sites, that would be a huge help.

This is the short link to the campaign: http://kck.st/1NSjUJN

To make life really easy, you can...

CLICK HERE TO SHARE ON FACEBOOK

or

CLICK HERE TO SHARE ON TWITTER

Visibility is the absolutely most important thing right now, so the more people seeing the project the better. Once we get to the goal, then we can all get our teeth into the fun stuff. I really want this to be a project that Dreamviews members are a big part of. There is so much creativity, intelligence and passion here, that it deserves to be heard.

Right I'm about to collapse, so it's off to bed for me.
Thanks in advance for everyone's help!

Hmmmpf. [Donning asbestos undies]. Sorry if I'm raining on your parade, but it seems to me what you're doing here amounts to little more than exploiting this forum's membership. Your "project" appears to me to be nothing but bald self-promotion to a captive, targeted audience. IMHO...not cool.

Oh...and by the way, the plain AP of the chest at 1:27 is on the viewbox reversed. I'm a retired cardiac surgeon. If you are going to hawk your wares using pseudomedical popcockery you might want to have someone with knowledge look at it first.

I understand that you need to make a living in order to make this happen but it Is always good to be skeptical when money is involved. I think what would help is if we understood how it is we will be contributing other than through kickstarter and facebook. I am thinking something more along the lines of sharing our experience and research to confirm the methods in your books.
