Dreaming Life

In keeping with this weeks earlier posts on movies, I decided to list all the good dream and lucid dream themed films out there! If you are interested in dreams, I think you’ll find these movies worth watching. Let me know what you think! You might notice some of these movies bleed into other mind-related [...]

My thoughts after seeing Waking Life: “Holy shit – this movie really is all about lucid dreaming!” “What the fuck was that guy talking about?” “This is really awesome and yet sometimes really boring.” “This guy talking about how turning on or off a light in a dream and how it won’t work – I [...]

It is with great excitement that I share with you the opening of a lucid dreaming retreat in Tulum, Mexico! The first official retreat comes up quick on November 1-8, 2007. After reviewing the itinerary of the week-long retreat, this is quite possibly the coolest thing I have ever seen in my life. Seriously. Don’t [...]

Welcome to the First Edition of Dreaming Life’s newest Carnival. I got many awesome entries this time around that I’m psyched to share with you. I was much more selective about what was included and what was not, so rest assured, you’re only getting the best of the best here. Thanks to all the bloggers [...]

  A friend casually asked me the other day: “Why do I want to have Lucid Dreams?” “What’s the point?” I had the hardest time trying to answer her in a way that would convince her. It got me thinking about it and so this post is my own answer to these two questions… My [...]

  “Just had the longest, most extensive, lucid dream of my life” -from my dream journal, 2:50am, August 24, 2007   A few nights ago I had the most fantastic lucid dream of my life. This experience was far more fulfilling than any other lucid dream I’d ever had. I’ve never had a dream anywhere [...]

What is a Lucid Dream? “A lucid dream is a dream in which the person is aware that he or she is dreaming while the dream is in progress. During lucid dreams, it is often possible to exert conscious control over the dream characters and environment, as well as to perform otherwise physically impossible feats.” [...]

  I can’t remember the exact point when I first heard about lucid dreaming. I always maintained an interest in my own dream and I actually recall dreams that I had when I was maybe as young as 4 or 5 years old. But the earliest I can place my interest in lucid dreaming is [...]

Will virtual reality mean the death of lucid dreaming? Recently I saw the movie eXistenZ by David Cronenburg. It’s about a fully-encompassing virtual reality game, where of course, something screwy happens and you begin to question what’s real and what’s not. To play, you have to surgically install a “bio-port” at the base of the [...]

Earlier this month I wrote about the Expectation Fulfilment Theory of Dreaming by Joe Griffin. In my post I posed some hypothetical interview questions that I’d like to ask Joe Griffin. Much to my delight, he’s responded to them! And so I present to you a very short but interesting interview with Joe Griffin. Is [...]

Here’s a few excerpts from SaltCube’s DVD titled “How to Lucid Dream and Have Out of Body Experiences.” I’ve heard great things about this DVD and these clips are quite impressive.
