I found something really wild tonight.
I guess it’s old news since the patent is from 2003, but I see that Stephen LaBerge, the most famous lucid dream researcher and lucid dream author in the world, has a patent on “substances that enhance recall and lucidity during dreaming.”

Recently I discovered a new website called Why We Dream, which explains a new theory of dreaming known as The Expectation Fulfilment Theory of Dreaming.
This theory has been put together by psychologist Joe Griffin, co-author of the book Dreaming Reality, as well as the Director of Studies at MindsField college, and a big player in the field of psychotherapy in general, evidently.
I encourage you to take some time to read the entire theory as put forth on their website. I found it fascinating, well thought-out, and thought-provoking. I also appreciate that the theory specifically addresses lucid dreaming as a real phenomenon.

For years I’ve written my dreams down in different places; a day-to-day journal, a dream journal, on my home computer, on my work computer, even on post-it notes.

I’m really glad I’ve kept up with this. I’ve recently organized and printed up 6 months worth of dreams into a binder! I can’t tell you how neat it is to have this at my fingertips. I’m able to see more clearly the overall . . . → Read More: 9 Tips For Improving Dream Recall To Make Your Dream Journal A Success

Due to the volatile and contradictory nature of dreams, simply writing down a description often fails to truly summarize all aspects of what you’ve experienced in a dream.
To help with this, I’ve been working with a series of questions that penetrate various aspects of the dream to help nail down everything going on – the people, the place, the hidden meanings, the plot, the dream signs, the emotions, and so on.
For me, I’ve found it to be very worthwhile to take the time go through these questions!
So I want to share my dream question template with you. When I’ do this . . . → Read More: Dream Question Template: A questionnaire for exploring and piecing together what your dreams are about.
