Back on the 4th of July I wrote some thoughts on minimalism and owning less. Basically I want to get rid of as much stuff as possible that doesn’t really provide any value in my life. A simple enough proposition, right? That was slightly over 2 months and damn if I still don’t seem to [...]

SO I’m thrilled to say I saw INCEPTION tonight for my 30th birthday at IMAX. Verdict? It was pretty awesome. In fact, I’d say this is the best film that’s come along that is specifically about dreams and the architecture of the dreaming mind since Vanilla Sky was released in 2001. Instead of a movie [...]

Lots of people have their personal nightmare; you know, the one that re-occurs overs the years, the one that horrifies them to the core, even if sometimes it doesn’t seem very scary when talking about it. Mine is something most people are familiar with: the 1970′s horror film, The Exorcist. When I was 10 years [...]

In keeping with this weeks earlier posts on movies, I decided to list all the good dream and lucid dream themed films out there!

    I’m in bed, lying on my side. I can see myself in the mirror, but I cannot move. My body feels like absolute dead weight. I struggle to move at all. I move my hands and arms around; I can feel it happening, but am puzzled because they are completely invisible, 100%. I [...]

This experience was far more fulfilling than any other lucid dream I’d ever had. I’ve never had a dream anywhere [...]

  The nontheistic aspect of Buddhism intrigues me because I have a hard time identifying with anything that strikes of theism. I’ll grant you that the idea of God existing, an omnipotent creator of all that is, is at least an interesting explanation worth pursuing. This theory might not be right, but it’s not a [...]

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 [...]

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.” Patent number 20040266659, to be exact.

  What is it like to eat “dream food” in a lucid dream? What does dream food taste like? Does it taste better or worse? Would it alleviate any cravings you have for certain foods like chocolate or candy? Here’s a really over-the-top question: Could you go on a dream diet to eat foods you [...]
