Arrghhhh. I can't believe I was gone for some months and missed all you're contributions about WILD. Must read those threads!

Anyway, just came up to say hi In other places that I visited about lucid dreaming (and the people I've talked with recently) I find that your "perspective" is very valuable as it helps me giving these people a way of teaching lucid dreaming not as a serie of steps, but as a personal journey based on themselves.

I still think your avatar should be yoda, it's the best metaphor I can make out of you

Must say it's a a pleasure to read your posts. You have earth to earth (this it's this the expression ) perspectives which don't take the beauty of lucid dreaming, but make me realize how privileged us oneironauts are to reach so deep into our brain

I will check it out for sure!

Yeah, i know quite a few people who have made that decision haha and I can definitely see the allure
Oh serious!? nice; how did the books turn out?

Thanks for the wishes!
haha I wish they would have those. If i get anywhere in that field, I will definitely have a room dedicated to it.

Harvard has a division of sleep med, really tempting
I might apply to a sleep lab there. They participant pay is, *cough*, generous

Mind if I ask you what your degree was in?

Sorry for the delay - long week!

Much of my experience was self-directed, though, aside from once moderating a lucidity forum and now skimming DV, I do not use the internet. I have done some "directed" work thru psychology and philosophy courses in college, and through LaBerge's Lucidity Institute, back when he still cared. But I suppose to answer your question: no, no formal academic dream work here. Indeed, I spent a decade of my work studiously ignoring academic input, for fear it would negatively influence my search for Self. Sorry!

I've always considered trying a sleep lab, but I'm such an incredibly light sleeper, I doubt it would go well for me. I did always want to try out a sensory-deprivation tank, though! I feel any sleep doctor should have one of those in his office.

Best of Dreams,

Hey Sageous
You mentioned you had 30 years of dream and sleep research experience. I was wondering if this was 30 years of self directed research based on experience and the internet or was this 30 years of academic reseach in a sleep lab. I was only wondering because I might be interested in sleep medicine myself.

Cheers!
