Exploring The World Of Lucid Dreaming

In order to start lucid dreaming, it’s important to remember your dreams. Keeping a dream journal is the best way to start remembering your dreams and figuring out what they mean. Keep your journal by your bed, so that as soon as you wake up in the morning, you can write down the dreams you remember. If you wait until you’re more awake to write your dreams down, you might forget some details, or that you dreamt at all. So, while you’re still in bed, try to remember the ideas and general ideas of your dreams. If you’re having trouble remembering, examine your general feeling in the moment and where your thoughts are going. This might be able to trigger the memory of your dream. Once you have all the details of your dream written down, go back through what you’ve written down and identify your dream signs. Dream signs are the details in your dream that signal that you’re actually dreaming. For instance, did you realize you were dreaming when you saw flying elephants? Or, maybe it was when you started to walk through fire? These dream signs are important because many lucid dreamers are able to start lucid dreaming when they start to realize unusual occurrences in their dreams. This could mean anything from those flying elephants to time moving backwards. Once you identify a dream sign, it’ll be easier to keep this information in mind next time you go to bed. By jotting down your dream signs in your journal, it’ll be easier to identify these signs in your dream state, which means that you’ll be able to better recognize your dream signs when you’re actually dreaming. Once you start to remember at least one dream per night, and have filled your dream journal with at least a dozen dreams and several dream signs, you’ll be able to start really exploring lucid dreaming induction techniques.

The video link below is Stef's guide to the 'Finger Induced Lucid Dreaming' (FILD) technique which is arguably one of the fastest and most effective lucid dreaming methods in the world. This method involves focusing on the 'movement' in your fingers at an early time in the morning. This focus will induce a lucid dream in 9 seconds. The FILD technique is a great induction technique and it's great for beginners and advanced dreamers alike.

Dark Matter Transducer

Scientists are on a quest to solve one of physics’ biggest mysteries: What exactly is dark matter – the invisible substance that accounts for 85 percent of all the matter in the universe but can’t be seen even with our most advanced scientific instruments? Most scientists believe it’s made of ghostly particles that rarely bump into their surroundings; that’s why billions of dark matter particles might zip right through our bodies every second without us even noticing. Leading candidates for dark matter particles are WIMPs, or weakly interacting massive particles. SLAC (Stanford Linear Accelerator Center) National Accelerator Laboratory is helping to build and test the LUX-ZEPLIN or LZ detector, one of the biggest and most sensitive detectors ever designed to catch hypothetical dark matter particles known as WIMPs. Identifying the building blocks of dark matter is one of the highest priorities of modern physics. Most scientists believe it’s made of ghostly particles that rarely bump int

Chasing The Dream

Similar to many other fields in Psychiatry, understanding sleep and dreams as biological events remain unconsolidated and a work in progress. In 'The Neuroscience of Sleep and Dreams', psychologist Patrick McNamara describes the neuroscience of sleep and dreams while emphasizing on the evolutionary and social significance of the two. Organized into two sections, Part I Sleep and Part II Dreams, McNamara walks through definitions, characteristics, variations and theories of sleep and dreams. He draws examples from human case studies to describe the two phenomena in relation to human anatomy, as well as citing animal studies to explain possible mechanisms. McNamara approaches sleep and dreams as physiological and social functions that can be explained within the paradigm of Darwinian evolutionary biology. In other words, sleeping and dreaming involve fitness 'trade-offs' in our social context, such that one’s 'sleep expression' centers around his or her interactio

The Science Of Lucid Dreaming

Lucid dreaming refers to realizing within a dream that you are dreaming. It is an ancient spiritual technique (used in Buddhist dream yoga, Taoism, Sufism, and numerous native wisdom traditions). However, the scientific evidence for lucid dreaming emerged in 1980, which makes lucid dreaming a fascinating subject, since this ancient spiritual technique has achieved scientific acceptance and investigation. In the video link below, Robert Waggoner examines the experiments which provided evidence for lucid dreaming, along with the more ancient view of lucid dreaming as a pathway to accelerated spiritual growth. He also examines the use of lucid dreaming by modern day psychotherapists to resolve recurring nightmares in people with PTSD, along with lucid dreaming's potential use in areas such as accessing inner creativity, exploring the unconscious, and spiritual practice. In 1975, Robert Waggoner taught himself a simple technique to lucid dream or become consciously aware of dreaming, w
