I got that app installed last summer, good app, very feature rich. What prevented me for consistently using it was the amount of effort required to make it useful and maintain it. I got a stack of 7 chicken scratch dream journals and very little motivation to transcribe them myself

Maybe if I can get more organized with my new dream journal, I'll start using it again.

Thank you. I suspect you must have had version II last summer, which I wrote almost a decode ago. I only released LDIII this winter, so hopefully when you start using it you will find it much easier to maintain and more rewarding.

Boogers: things that form inside your nose from a combonation of mucus and particles of dirt in the air.

you have just provided me with the ultimate DJ. thank you! my only issue is that the RCs won't play.

I looked at your about page on that website... are you a god?

**IAmCoder** · 03-19-2011 05:39 PM

@Wristblade: Thanks, I guess... You must be running Windows 7 - there is a hotfix available from Microsoft (details and download). Please let me know if that works for you, then I will add it to the download page.

@Jay: Only in my dreams, I'm afraid. But you can call me "I Am" if you want.

**Wristblade56** · 03-20-2011 12:10 AM

umm... dude it's givin' me warnings that this program could crash my system. are you absolutely sure it's safe to install on my windows 7 notebook?

already installed it and it works fine. I also have a win 7 pc btw

I should ask though Iamcoder, has this worked for you?

**IAmCoder** · 03-20-2011 06:06 AM

Yeah, it has worked for me. And don't worry - that is just Microsoft's standard message on hotfixes and it is only a problem on Win 7 because they do not officially support the agent characters anymore. But you are welcome to leave that part out as the RCs are just a minor feature and not really necessary for the full effect.

**Mantralucide** · 03-20-2011 02:22 PM

Hi, i'm using your program. can you write a FAQ or a basic user's guide? it seems very useful and interesting.
one problem: if i press play on any reality checks i get this message : "Exception of type 'System.Windows.Forms.AxHost+InvalidActiveXState' was thrown."
any ideas on what to do ? thanks

**Wristblade56** · 03-20-2011 05:24 PM

yeah, a user's guide on what everything is for would be usefull. just as a precaution i think i'll leave the rcs out.

**IAmCoder** · 03-20-2011 11:19 PM

@Mantralucide: Thanks. Try the links above if you have Win 7, otherwise this should work: Download details: Agent 2.0 Core components.

I thought no one ever reads the guides, but I guess I'll have to write one?

To create a new dream journal entry, simply click on New -> Dream and start writing down your dream.

To add a song to a new REM Cycle, right-click on the graph and select Insert -> Sound File... and browse to a sound file on your computer. Then select it on the graph and slowly drag the little x at the bottom to the desired time. The magic number is 04h00 into your sleep.

hello. I have installed your program but when i click the application it says that "liquid dreams iii has stopped working." i have windows vista. can you please help me?

**IAmCoder** · 04-19-2011 11:59 PM

Hmm, does it say anything else, like an error code? And did you download it from CNET?

**cinpez** · 04-20-2011 03:12 AM

Great program. I used Liquid Dream II years ago but eventually got out of the habit of recording my dreams. When I tried to start back up, I couldn't remember the name of the program. I just recently rediscovered it and as surprised to find Liquid Dream III available. I've started using it and enjoy it but I have a quick question.

Back in Liquid Dream II the Merlin character would stay on screen and periodically do reality checks. Is there a way to do the same in Liquid Dream III? Right now I can only get the checks to play when I click them and even then, it'll only play it once. If I leave it alone, Merlin eventually just goes to sleep. I'm running Windows XP by the way.

**pichulick** · 04-20-2011 10:39 AM

no it doesen't say anything. I downloaded it from your site lucid code...

**IAmCoder** · 04-20-2011 02:19 PM

Hi cinpez, and welcome to the forum. I am glad that you are back in the habit of recording your dreams. Thanks for the reminder! I have enabled the play button in the reality check folder in the latest version (3.0.9). Please let me know if this works for you and if you have any other requests.

Pichulick, thanks - any luck with the new version? Otherwise, can you try changing your Date / Regional Settings to USA?

**pichulick** · 04-20-2011 04:45 PM

no ... not working.. by the way do I have to do something with that Liquid Dream III.exe.config file\?

**cinpez** · 04-20-2011 06:22 PM

Yep it's working fine now. I wasn't sure if it was working at first but after letting him sleep for awhile he woke back up and did another check. Thanks again.

**IAmCoder** · 04-20-2011 11:40 PM

Pichulick, you don't need to change anything to the config file. Can you check if you have any folders in C:\Users\MichaelCoder\Documents\lucidcode\Liquid Dream III and send me the list? And is your copy of Vista installed in English?
