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

@VirtualReality - It's great to hear you're looking to get fully back into your dream explorations. Although, I do think that dry-spells are a perfectly natural part of a life; it's very difficult to keep up the levels of motivation required all the time, sometimes we just need a break and to come back to it with a fresh mind! I'd be very happy for your help with the project.

@Venryx - Ha fantastic! I'm not a believer in shared dreaming either. I've had a few experiences that seemed interestingly close, but nothing that couldn't be easily explained through a combination of familiarity with those involved, similar interests and lifestyles, and the natural human tendency to look for connections. It's a fun concept to daydream about though - although I think I prefer living in a world where our minds are our own and our thoughts are private.

It seems like a fun dream, with all the usual quirks and peculiar logic/memory issues that plague them. Curiously and coincidentally, it reminds me a lot of a dream from about a year ago, which involved flying around a futuristic cityscape with a jetpack.


So, here's an update for everyone: The attempt at making a video was a day of frustration and not much of value was achieved. It is frustrating as a writer that to pitch an idea on-line requires one to be a high calibre film-maker as well. It's a shame we don't live in a world where ideas can be assessed on their own merit and not the flashiness of a video. Still, it's a challenge and a good chance to learn a few new skills. I'll keep you all update when this hurdle has been overcome (wish me luck!).

Anyhow, video or not, I'm at a point where I'd be more than happy to get a little help and feedback from you all, but I'm not 100% sure of the best way to go about it.

EDIT: It seems a little quiet here tonight, so I'll pop back another time with more information.

I quite enjoyed your book and I look forward to anything that truly advances lucid dreaming in the minds of more people…I feel rather alone trying to discuss it with most people in person.

I don't know how feasible this is (hey it worked for a fictional tv character, Saul Goodman, after all ) but perhaps you can find a few film or video editing students that will help you out.

Please post potential chat times if you can.
