Thread: #DVA Class Topics

From time to time, classes can either go really quiet, or even silent, simply due to a lack of topic, or lack of interesting topic.

For this reason, I want all the students to post any of the topics they'd like to come up in future classes.

They will be scheduled around the times when the people who suggested them are available. Suggested format:

Nice topic realdeal!

I'd like to include again, the layers of lucidity. Might be nice to structure it so that one class can cover the lower layers, and the upper layers in another. I have some other ideas but I'll post them later when I get them all organized.

Good Work!

List Updated.

I think I'll use one of these topics for tonight's class

also, *bump*

This thread is now open for suggestions

•Bedtime routines
•REM and why it matters
•Naps and how they differ from regular night sleep

Just wanted to post that the idea of a #DVA chat intrigues me and I'll be joining on Monday!

Argh! I was ready at 4pm for this and forgot by the time 6pm rolled around. Is there going to be another one next week?

A lot of those topics seem like they are pretty much the same topic, just different wording really. Like dream clarity and awareness for example. The more aware I am in a dream, the better the clarity... Dream control also goes hand n hand with my awareness in the dream. And my awareness in the dream also influences the layers of lucidity. So, it just seems like all those topics can fall under awareness. Same with lack of dreams etc.

They are.

Reaching the masses in an introductory class sometimes requires wording things in different ways, in hopes that one version or another will resonate with someone.

Like dream clarity and awareness for example. The more aware I am in a dream, the better the clarity... Dream control also goes hand n hand with my awareness in the dream. And my awareness in the dream also influences the layers of lucidity. So, it just seems like all those topics can fall under awareness. Same with lack of dreams etc.

Don't get me wrong, awareness is numero uno for attaining lucidity, and specifically highlighted in the Intro Class Lessons, as well as in the podcasts.
