The Good Night - a Lucid Dreamer’s Review
I finally saw the movie “The Good Night,” a romantic comedy about a man who discovers lucid dreaming as a great escape from his boring life. I really enjoyed the movie, and recommend it for all dreamers, if for no other reason to see how the mass media is viewing LD.
I promise - […]
New Tibetan Dream Yoga Blog
Check out this new blog on Dream Yoga and Lucidity by Dannon Flynn. While still in its infancy, this blog is already publishing great original content about Tibetan Dream Yoga and lucid dreaming - and there’s a lot of relaxing music on the site as well.
Dream Yoga is an ancient lucid dreaming […]
Lucid Dreaming and the Cosmic Serpent
I’ve been re-reading the Cosmic Serpent by Jeremy Narby. A highly recommended narrative about an anthropologist’s journey into the realm of ayahuasca cultures in Amazonia. It blew me away and the second reading is just as good.
Narby is an ethnobotanist, and he makes the key observation that, while Western scientists have freely picked […]
Two New Lucid Dreaming Resources
Just want to point out two new lucid dreaming articles, both dealing with the history of conscious dreaming.
The first is an article about the History of lucid dreaming from Ancient India to the Enlightment, and the second is a list of historic definitions of lucid dreaming that I dug up when writing my (still unpublished) […]
Lucid Dreaming Definitions Throughout History
Over the ages, scholars have described conscious or lucid dreaming in different ways, attributing various elements to the state such as self-awareness, control over dream content, emergence of shamanic consciousness, and even feeling like a God in a private universe.

Geometric Imagery in Lucid Dreaming
I figured my first peer-reviewed dream research post should nod to the one of the unrecognized classics in the field of lucid dreaming phenomenology.
This is correlated with, but not necessarily caused by, the fact that my current academic journals are boxed away somewhere in the barn behind a ten foot wall of hay.
So, one of […]

The symposium is titled Ecopsychology, Cross Cultural Big Dreams, and Shamanic Lucid Dreams, also with Mark Schroll, Jorge Conesa-Sevilla, Curt Hoffman, with discussants Stanley Krippner and Judy Gardiner.

Dream Research and Lucid Dreaming Links
The blogroll was getting a little long in the tooth so I moved all of my links over to this dream resources page. My analytics are telling me that few people are clicking away from the blogroll anyways, which confirms the opinions of many experts that blogrolls are not effective when clumped into a […]
Monday, February 11th, 2008Lucidipedia Looking for Bloggers
Just discovered a new lucid dreaming wiki called Lucidipedia. They provide some great resources for lucid dreaming beginners, as well as an opportunity for more experienced dreamers to edit articles and become a part of the conversation. They also are looking for beginner lucid dreamers to blog for them while they take Lucidipedia’s training. If […]

From the recent press release by the Global Lucid Dreaming Experiment:
What effect does the moon have on our dreams? A team of researchers at the College of Metaphysics are seeking to find the answer in the next two months as the positioning of the earth, moon, and the sun move through a sequence rarely […]
