Aw man, I'm sending good vibes to you tonight through the interwebs . I have some friends coming from California to stay the weekend, I doubt I'll be getting much sleep - You can borrow my lucidity pool until monday and get a nice bonus .

Have you read this article about howVideo game players and dream control?

I'm not sure how reputable the source is, but I found it an interesting thing to consider.

Dude that is a really interesting article. I only skim read but I think I get the idea. It really makes sense to me especially for the nightmare factor. And any reason to play more is always a good thing. Of course telling my wife that I'm playing so long only to improve my dreaming skills might not set well.


CanisLucidus, hang in there! It'll be over real soon.

I thought it was pretty cool. What games do you play Xanous?

I play a wide range of games but I have been favoring the RPG shooter types like Fallout, Borderlands, and Skyrim.

Ah I have the first Borderlands, I thought it was pretty cool. I played Skyrim a ton when it first came out, played a Sneak/Bow guy it was really fun. I've been meaning to go back and do a caster play through but I just havn't. Did you by chance ever play the old games on AOL? There was an online Deathmatch RPG-FPS called Magestorm that was really awesome, I recently discovered someone remade it - pretty cool.. even if the graphics are dated xD.

Ha ha, thanks dude! Fortunately I did manage to finally break out of it last night. It struck me that I have really let awareness practices slip for the past week or so due to a variety of waking life issues. I'm going to really focus on keeping those dialed in and hopefully I'll be off to the races! There's still time to have a good month!

That's a cool article! I especially like that it flatters my sensibilities and makes me think that playing all of these video games over the years has been a wonderful time investment!

The bit about going into a 3rd person perspective is really interesting, too, because I've certainly had that happen and always thought it was pretty common. I wonder if it's only common for gamers....

I wonder what dreams feel like for a high-APM Starcraft kinda gamer like yourself.

Thanks, man, you were right! I even had a little help from our mutual friend caffeine!

My dreams are almost exclusively in first person - except for those SC2 dreams I was having when the expansion came out Other than that I don't have a single memory of a 3rd person dream. Have you had a Lucid in 3rd person? That sounds pretty interesting
