My cognitive rehabilitation training system for dreamers is working better than expected.

Our thoughts, actions, feelings, and intentions most certainly impact and change our waking life reality. I’m just now learning more about dreaming and dream training, but I’ve spent a very long time learning to harness my mind and shape my waking life reality.

Now imagine (or you know from experience) using your dreams to build confidence, try new skills, consider spiritual truths, etc. Dreams add more conscious experiences, and those experiences can help instill conviction. From my own experiences, the more I believe something, the more likely I will experience that which I believe in.

Yes, as you suggest the mind is a powerful too. One that should be hardness in both the waking and dream life. My opinion anyway.

Wow! I didn’t realize lucid dreams could be that long. That’s simply amazing! I would love to have a lucid dream that spanned over a days time.

BTW, I just read the full SWTOR dream and WOW! What a fking cool dream that was. I would love to be a Jedi in a dream and to lightsaber fight a sigh, amazing!

He is good though

33 years huh?

Wow, make your sleep the same as your waking life... total fantasy and 'escape' from reality! I can see where this would be appealing... complete with HW assignments of playing video games all day.

This is an interesting concept but is missing the point, dreams are not there to 'entertain' us they are our connection to the 'collective' and beyond. learning to be lucid and having control over content is something that only matters if the conscious, cognitive component to the psyche/individual is solid and actively employing ethical principles and a well-founded intention of 'progressing' (which can be flavored to taste, but is generally the same across the board (do unto others/be good/don't be a dick...)- If one denies this aspect and attempts to 'rewrite' their most fundamental, primal process for psychic growth and connectivity, based upon some concept founded in 'entertainment' they are in essence binding their own wings... and potentially a lot worse IMO.

What I am hearing in the 'pitch' is actually pretty dangerous sounding and admitted as such "some people never come back" (I guess this becomes a selling point , the same way that fentanyl is?).

90% of sleep is for dreaming, in fact it is the only logically found reason that we do sleep (much to the befuddlement of many an empiricist/materialist) hence, it can be easily, rationally concluded that dreams are VERY important- especially when the necessity of sleep and the fact we spend 1/3 of our entire lives doing it is taken into consideration.

Learning the skill of lucid dreaming and merely purposely imposing the construct of someone else (movies, video-games, etc.) upon it for no reason other than 'entertainment' is the height of using information/technology for a 'regressive', unproductive and potentially dangerous purpose... which I suppose makes perfect sense when taking a look around at our society currently.

I get it OP, this is your thing... and it 'feels like' (where's the beef?) you know your stuff, more power to you- it is just the 'marketing' aspect of this, admittedly even to children, could be a karically unsound endeavor, just sayin'.

I'm not a gamer and spend most of my time working, researching and thinking. I find most games to be absolutely boring. Will this course work for me?

What do you think the extending time in dreams module is all about ;)

Yeah I love that Knight of the Old Republic influenced dream, one of my best Star Wars influenced dreams. It was amazing, still remember it, Boba Fett was so awesome! The light saber I had was so cool too, the special effects off the rails.

I have a few decades behind me on this.

Ah that's just the timing, I started in 1987, 2020 - 1987 = 33. No affiliation to any group. I'm a lone wolf GLPer dreamtard. You've missed all my posts when it was 32, 31, 30, 29, 28 etc... but yeah not at all mason, will never be a mason, fuck that shit!

We all have 3-5 dreams every night... some birds dream, all mammals with a brain dream. It is a part of our cognitive development and actually has many health benefits but can also be very bad for you (nightmare, fear, hate, depression ) as it connects to the limbic-system and releases the same waking hormones for fight-flight ie Adrenaline and Cortisil causing damage to the hippocampus and prefontal cortext as well as enlarges the amygadala further deepening fear.

The opposite happens if we have good, fun, positive dreams as it releases dopamine, seretonin, oxytocin and endorphins elevating mood towards joy, happiness, love and provides better long-term memory development, improves cognitive development in the pre-frontal cortex having an opposite effect, and also boost the immune system, releases built of stress and tension, ever hear the term... sleep on it? We know sleep helps us manage our anxieties, concerns and more.

So you chose... dream in fear and promote your fears to scare others into releasing adrenaline and cortasil or dream for fun, joy, happiness and love.

I don't make that choice for you.

Dreams actually provide a safe-place for us too work out our problems. You have 3-4 dreams each night, and yes you will succeed at having a dream of your own design but the subconscious needs to work out other activities in dream replay that you have done during the day so those work dreams, walking in a park dreams will also be there.

People already immersed into a influence will dream that influence in their sleep. Most will not remember due to atrophic damage to their prefrontal cortex, hippocampus and temporal lobes.

Working on rehabilitating those damaged regions of the brain however, more and more of the 3-5 dreams return allowing one to further work out the mind and correct negative patterns of experience once they tune into the power they really have to better direct their own lives devoid of any influence but the ones they choose.

Many people seek drugs, alcohol, sex and violence as a means to cope with these build-up "feelings" that are not being released in the body that dreams are trying to release but that mechanism is so fucked up and damaged they do not arrive to that benefit.

I don't use drugs, I don't drink, I don't watch porn, I don't seek instant-gratification and "cheap thrill" dopamine releases... why? I know where those choices lead, and my course on Overcoming Fear and Nightmares covers the neurscience of fear, how this process takes place and how to use dreams to "release" safely these negative anti-social, anti-self, self-sabotaging behaviors.

Again only if one wants to use that knowledge to clean house. Trust me, many want to clean house so they don't have nightmares and fear dominating their dream replay.



Based on what evidence bro... I can forward you a shit done of evidence that engage our dreams in a fun, entertaining way invokes quite the opposite effect on our mental and physical health. That is just your armchair opinion.

The only dream you need to fear for it's damaging effect on your body are the ones that trip the fear replay and I teach fear management to rehabilitate away from nightmares.

But hey it's ok to let people run off and do that fentanyl and prescribe opiates but lord help me don't let them dream for fun or entertainment because you the expert think it's going to be bad for them. It's dream they wake up with a smile, inconsequential and beneficial to their over all quality of mental and physical health.



And that I can agree on...



They are going to do it anyways, Angie when she first came her first remembered dream was being in a hot shower and it was so hot it melted off her skin, she turned to psychoanalyse that it must have a positive meaning...

Now she is feeling the warmth of the sun, the calmness of water and waking up feeling stable, blissful and riveted with joy. Hmmm... so maybe just keep letting her have dreams are tormenting her from the wildness of her subconscious?

Which is better in your opinion? Control, or the wild random ones like that?



Again that is your opinion, my website is substantiated on a lot of actual neuroscience, behavior psychology for better wellness and mental health through fun, positive and exciting dreams.

Not everyone chooses video games I make that clear it can be any source material, you can use it to go out for steak dinner for all I care, but what matters here is that you, not me are picking your influence based on your desired experience, not mine.

You are the dreamer of your own dreams and should be unhinged from any influence that you don't want to experience.

Watch a horror movie, have nightmares... I make that very ... very ... clear.

Here I say 32 here from last year... just to make sure you don't numbertard label me a mason.

Them's a lot of words^ but, as a response it lacks empirical resources (shared knowledge/facts/litmus test) with which to support the claim.



Ignorance is bliss? -potentially... but it is with certainty the cause of all experienced suffering.

Yes, in the course we have 4 students using walks in parks, or nature for their source material. Others using movies they enjoy.

You can even be inventive and use your own story like a writer and create your own source material.

I leave that up to you... I just enjoy really artistic genres to dream in due to my interest in art. I was breaking into comics but then Marvel filed for bankruptcy before the movies came out so turned to the canvas of the mind as my new artform.

People dreaming based on waking life influences is not a claim, it's well presented in dream research and study since Freud and Jung.

So I don't give a fuck about your blah blah claim, blah blah litmus shit weak ass argument if you are too lazy to do some research or read a scientific paper on dream studies...but that steak dinner does look good. You can train for that make that your source material.

Hit it in the replay when your dreams consolidate that into long-term memory. Or not and dream shit you don't want to dream.

OK butthurt fancy-pants, how about this claim:

"Videogames make it HARDER to have a lucid dream and decreases one's ability to think and be creative in general"-

Here is some pesky support from the world of empirical scientific research:


Frequent lucid dreaming associated with increased functional connectivity between frontopolar cortex and temporoparietal association areas
" Compared to controls, the frequent lucid dream group showed significantly increased resting-state functional connectivity between left aPFC and bilateral angular gyrus, bilateral middle temporal gyrus and right inferior frontal gyrus, and higher node degree and strength in left aPFC. In contrast, no significant differences in brain structure were observed. Our results suggest that frequent lucid dreaming is associated with increased functional connectivity between aPFC and temporoparietal association areas, regions normally deactivated during sleep."

Impact of videogame play on the brain's microstructural properties: cross-sectional and longitudinal analyses
"We also confirmed an association between the amount of VGP and decreased verbal intelligence in both cross-sectional and longitudinal analyses. In conclusion, increased VGP is directly or indirectly associated with delayed development of the microstructure in extensive brain regions and verbal intelligence."

Virtual Reality May Help You Control Your Dreams
Research suggests people dream more lucidly after they’ve immersed themselves in virtual worlds.
ELISABETH ROSEN SEPTEMBER 15, 2016

When Jayne Gackenbach’s son took up Nintendo in the 1990s, she began to worry. As she watched him spend hours manipulating characters on the screen, she wondered if all that time in fictional worlds was messing with his head.

It’s a concern that any parent might have. But Gackenbach, a psychologist at MacEwan University, put the question to the test.

Put down your phone after an intense Pokémon Go session, and you might find yourself thinking about “catching” the dog across the street as if it were a character in the game. That momentary mix-up between the world on the screen and the physical reality of the street is called game transfer phenomenon, and it’s a common effect among gamers. As Gackenbach puts it: “Your brain’s kind of stupid, at least when it comes to reality.”

It's a new science... and I'm not butthurt, this is an intelligent discussion albeit a bit tougue-and-cheek like a good argument should be. It's productive.

The last I checked, "...So I don't give a fuck about your blah blah claim, blah blah litmus shit weak ass argument..."

Does not qualify as a non-butthurt intelligent discussion.

The "Atlantic" eh?

And your second link supports my claim, thank you very much!

I would suggest you ask yourself one simple question OP, 'WHAT is your motivation?'

Therein lies the answer that you seek.

I was doing well last year with dreams, able to lucid dream and astral projection, even occasionally obe, however lately I have hit a road block and am lucky to even remember one dream a week of at all. Not sure what is up. If anyone ya any suggestions that would be greatly appreciated. Would love to get back into dreaming again.

OP claimed to be doing this to help others. As he stated in a few posts, those that conquer fear, and explore dreaming, favor being happy in waking life, finding more joy in general.

Much of what OP’s course teaches is mindfulness. Mindfulness is key to controlling aspects of dreaming, and mindfulness is key to many aspects of life. It’s one of the most important skills to learn, if not the most. Once the mind is harnessed, it’s a tool they can do wonders.

I’m personally learning Lucid dreaming because of spiritual goals. To me, being in the dream world fully conscious will allow me to explore deeper into my mind and subconscious. I would love to have to entertaining experiences as well, but that’s not my ultimate motivation.

OP doesn’t care what anyone dreams in, he just wants those that take the courses to control the whole process, while understanding what they are doing.

I find it amusing how a few of the posters seem to be attacking someone who clearly means to help others. I would caution those posters to explore their purpose for attacking in the first place? I’d wager, it’s related to unresolved internal struggles, and their internal anger is then directed at the OP. As many students of mindfulness understand, attacking another is only bribing that energy back to oneself, thus hurting the attacker in the end. Not smart.

Good luck to all, especially those still grasping for a basic understanding of how life works.....hint, it’s not as presented in the mainstream.

OP has a website with a free course that teaches how to remember dreams. I’ve completed it, and I was able to remember dreams every night, sometimes up to 5, and I’ve never remembered more than one dream a night before. I never even used to remember a dream every night as is. So if you want to remember your dreams more, take the free course and see if it works for you too.

[link to dreamingforgamers.com (secure)]

That’s the link to his site. Check out the course options in the menu and you will see the free course. The YouTube videos at the link asks describe signing up for the course too.

Good luck on your adventure. I hope it works for you as well or better than for me.

Why is it that you feel OP is wrong for trying to help others?

BTW the OP doesn’t ask anyone to play video games. What he asks is to review “source material” for 5-30 minutes close to going bed. Source material can be, actual things from life (I used this method), books, TV, games, or even ones own unique story. Literally anything.

Do you lucid dream yourself? If so, what are your motivations for doing so?

Signed up for the course. Let's see if I can get my synapses firing again!

What a coincidence that you checked GLP and found out they were also a GLPer lol.

This thread is all starting to sound very staged, to drum up support for some you end up having to pay for.

It reads more like a fake review

That's the spirit!

C'mon, just stop.

More than just you on GLP... us GLPers are everywhere. I was pleasantly surprised because Tanoros is rocking this course. He's just moving to the next more exciting challenge... perception training!

The guantlet awaits...

The point was I was already in the course. The surprise was the teacher of the course is also a GLPer. Didn’t know that when I signed up.

If your interested in improved dream recall give it a shot. Prior to taking the free week, I was watching how to lucid YouTube videos. From different content creators and I tried different methods. I had been trying different methods for 2 months and only dream journaling for 1 month. Prior to the course I had one 5 day period of dreams every day. Since taking the course (I didn’t do 1 lesson a day, but probably all 7 in 10 days) I have had a minimum of 1 dream remembered a night and one night with 5 another with 3 and a small portion of 1.

For me personally I’ve seen improvement. And I’ve realized I need to develop my mind in a new way in order to achieve my goal of lucidity. And in the process I’ve learned that I can be lucid in a way I didn’t even imagine possible. I’m excited for the process and the end result, thus my enthusiasm in this thread. But don’t make a judgment on what you read here, judge by trying yourself, it’s free and only requires your time (and not too much considering part of the exercise requires sleeping, something we all do anyway).

Good luck whichever you choose
