Video Chat about Lucid Immersion with Anne Hill of DreamTalk Radio

By Ryan Hurd

Anne Hill from DreamTalk Radio just posted our talk about lucid dreaming on the youtubes. It’s a lively 20 minute discussion about my new book project Lucid Immersion Blueprint. Anne is a veteran in the dream studies community and an author herself of the book What to do when dreams go bad: a practical guide to nightmares. Her creative and deeply informed perspective on dreams really made this conversation fun. 

Video is below.

Some topics that came up include:

  • How to break out of Cognitive Domestication
  • Foundational practices for greater lucidity
  • How positive mental habits become permanent traits over time
  • The importance of playfulness for lucid dreaming induction (and why most people are working too hard)
  • And what to do if you’re having TOO MANY lucid dreams.

Give it a whirl!  We used Skype to record it, so the video is a little jumpy in some places.

 

And here’s where to find out more about Lucid Immersion Blueprint.

    Good talk. I’m sorry to change the subject, especially since Lucid Dreaming is a wonderful tool in our lives. But, I’m a Personal Coach and Professional Hypnotist. I’m considering using Skype to help clients. I’m curious what webcam and mic you two used during this talk.

    Thanks for any input! And, thank you for your blog!

      Hey Lonnie I believe Anne used the Call Recorder add-on for Sykpe. She has a professional mic but as you can see I just plugged in my iPhone headphones. 🙂

        Actually I just use the built-in mic on my iMac, but it creates a lot of audio noise, and editing this video convinced me I need to step up my game on the next Skype-o-rama recording. I’ve heard great things about the Plantronics DSP-400 USB headset, so will probably try that next. Call Recorder for Skype is a breeze to use though, and well worth the $20!

          thanks for the correction. next time I’m gonna plug my laptop directly into the router too in case it was my wifi that contributed to video skipping — always learning 🙂

            Thank you both for your replies!

            I’m considering doing some research into using Hypnosis to influence the ability to lucid dream. I’m sure someone has tried before. Maybe not.
