I'm no expert, but it looks like a a good portion of people do not take full advantage of lucid dreaming, if the vividness of the dreams people have been saying is true. They fly, they have sex, they smoke drugs. Wow, how exciting. Why not do more? My head spins at all the possibilities. I get the feeling people just walk around doing whatever they think is cool, without putting thought into making their dreams works of art. (I'm an artist so this may be different for some...) Yes, that lady is attractive, beating up your neighbor is cool, driving a Jaguar is nice. Well, I guess some people just like the simple pleasures...

If you are one of those people that listen to (usually theatrical) music, the kind that sets a mood and creates an moving atmoshere, you probably know what I am feeling. If I need to explain further, for those of you that like said music, download music that really makes you think deeper than bf/gf relationships, or driving cars, or being cool, or being on the beach... download music that instead puts you somewhere.. Some people might think I'm lame, you probably fall into the former category. Here are some simple instructions to finding what I am talking about (If you have been agreeing so far, that is...)

1. Find a movie that really stirred you up, some epic or atmospheric movie.

2. Find and buy that movie's soundtrack.

3. AT NIGHT, when you have not talked to anyone for a while, start contemplating everything. How far mankind has come as a species, how small we are in a world so large, how huge a number 1 million really is...

4. After this, listen to the music in chronological order. Try to close your eyes but not fall asleep. Try to really think about the atmosphere...

5. When you finish, you should know what I mean.


If you need any ideas, I will say my favorite (Thinking of movies can be hard...)

The Da Vinci Code (Whether or not you agree with the content, the music is wonderful) If you need one or two songs, Chevaliers de Sangreal first, The Citrine Cross second). (I understand some people are very touchy about this book, I thought it was bad, if you wanted to know, but Hans Zimmer tries his best anyway...)



If you need a composer, I would say Hans Zimmer/Alan Silvestri/Harry Gregson-Williams.

Please take into account the fact that I am an artist, that I may see the world differently, and that this may look like a waste of time. This is not for everyone... As always, sorry if I talked a lot, but I will not say I rambled I tend toward longer posts...

EDIT: Also, I would like to say that this community is great, this is a very good forum for LD'ers.
