The Lucid Dream Exchange just published its quarterly edition, including a long interview of myself on the topic of lucid dreaming. I am grateful to editor Robert Waggoner for the opportunity, which allowed me to tell my story from my early childhood nightmares to my present day academic research. I”m looking forward to the fun discussions that this interview will generate, especially concerning the relationship of consciousness to volition.
Here’s the link: my name is listed, and you can download the pdf for free.

This portal was created because there are few outlets in the blogosphere that address dream studies from multiple perspectives. While I have lots of opinions about dreaming and the realm of consciousness studies in general, my intention here is not to defend a camp but explore the terrain.
Further, I am not here to conquer the terrain, but to take notes in a tiny leather journal like a gentle 19th century naturalist who has a quick eye and a slight limp. As depth psychologist Craig Chalquist likes to remind me, “we are cosmographers, not conquistadors.”
