Apparently people can go from zero to Neo in the Matrix in just under 14 days.

İ may not be normal, having recall of dreams at the age of 4 y.o. and still active and vivid, and occasional lucid dreaming, the diary of dreams is swelling to well over several thousands of recalled dreams...updated daily at the age of 66 y.o., thus, İ live to dream.

For sure, I think you'll like how active dream programming and using source-material for reference yields some very fun nostalgic dream interactions.

As for binaural-beats, like everything skill-related working with developing awareness from a cognitive approach ie... stimulating awareness by training for example reason, logic, intelligence in stimulation exercises naturally starts to invoke self-realization.

For example, we have one unit that works with training with books so you can read in your dreams, and a student managed to not only have the book in their dream but was able to read the text. The reason, what we give attention too in our waking life replays in our dreamlife. Being aware in a dream doesn't just stop at being awake, you can bring into that experience a lot of our higher-brain function for better utility in expanding your ability to think, act and make choices in the dream.

OP, did we try to meet in a dream w other participants a decade ago?

That is awesome. And at 66 having opted into participating in your dreams, I can imagine the amazing amount of intrinsic, rewarding and rich dreams that came with the choice of opting-in vs those that opted out.

That additive quality of gained experience for me, I consider invaluable. I'm sure you also feel the same. At 48, I do notice some decline but it's not bad, I just work harder now to achieve the results I want is the difference.

Keep dreaming!

33 huh? Interesting....

Jokes aside, I’ve been taking lionsmane oil at night to help me sleep and my dreams have suddenly become very vivid and long

No, I do believe I was privy to that discussion, but didn't participate. Mutual or shared dreaming is another very talked-about part of dream culture. I know several avid dreamers who take this path for dream exploration and have some interesting mutual journal examples among their group.

Again one of the woo categories of dreaming but lots of people out there seem to bump into this possibility... still waiting on the science. I find it another interesting part of dream culture.

I know, last year it was 32... I started in 1987 so 2020-1987 = 33 not a mason lol. Next year it will be 34.

Lots of sleeping disorders so sometimes taking a sleep-aid to get into a nice rhythmic sleep will help invoke dreaming linked to finally having a restful sleep.

Can you get results with just the free course? I’d rather have some results before progressing.

Dreams either thrill or horrify me, but I find this topic fascinating. I literally just had a dream about my departed son, and wonder why I cant hug him, talk to him, hear him, smell his hair, etc. It is usually him as a boy of 2 or 3, yet he died a young man; I think that's my own subconscious mind protecting me from the pain of seeing his mental illness. I dreamed a lot of sad stuff like that right after he passed. Now it's of happier times at younger ages.

I'd love to feel a giant hug from him again! Have a conversation, eat a meal with him. Skateboarding with him would be phenomenal!

Ive lucid dreamed a good dozen times in the last few years, and even feel that buzzy feeling and take off above the house and go sightseeing. But lack the control of where I go and what I do.

I happen to play a lot of Breath of the Wild, so maybe I have hope?

Yep that is the whole point of the free course, to see if it works for you or not. I'm not out to just peddle something and take money as I've done this for free for 22 years, it's just I can't invest the time on courses, submissions and assignment reviews.

I do have lots of free material for sure, but the nice thing about having daily courses is it gives you the motivation to move to the next, keeping routine and discipline so that's for more people who want to keep training in the gym so to speak.

The nice thing with that 7 day training is you'll get a very stable foundation for dream planning, dream routine and understand the underlying cognitive neuroscience that supports that dreaming is linked to cognitive development and skill development like any skill we acquire and learn.

My husband gave up hope after seeing all the demons kneel in might and magic and the girl playing just killed them anyway.

what about people who have sleep apneas?

Where does the Global Consciousness Project come into play?
Does anyone know what it entails?
Thanks in advance.

I wrote something.

She killed six hundred demons who had surrendered because it was "just a game"

If she had access to a laser drone she would kill us all, down to the last breathing creature.

She could've accepted their obeisance and respect and not killed them, and she only got that far in the Game because my partner took her aside and showed her the spells,but she ignored everything he said about honor and nobility and killed them anyway.

That's evil. Given power that would be great evil.

I want everyone to live. In peace and according to their natures.

Well, not so much yet on this course, I have via e-mail worked with people who wanted to use dreaming to do exactly that, as I have also used dreams to relive in the memory of someone who passed, like my grandparents which even if it's just a memory having that reconnection to honor them in a dream is very warming and we know it also helps people who suffer from grief and loss.

For example, my last dream while I was training Red Dead Redemption II, I had a dream where I was on horse back with my Mom and her deceased father (my grandfather) and it was all mixed into the game influences but we pulled up to a cabin, kicked up a campfire, cooked baked beans in a dutch oven and drank whiskey.

When I woke up from that dream, won't lie... loved to see him again even if just a memory and a dream character at least his memory is still alive within my dreams.

You pick the source material... memories of old friends and family members aren't excluded as a desired dream experience but training it so you have that result is how active dream programming works.

For me personally, nothing makes me happier than a dream with someone I love who passed it still carries over a nice connection with them.

Haven’t did an OBE in many many moons.
Was looking for the whereabouts of a t’ist. and found location.
Used to have a lot of flying dreams and mall dreams as wel but very rarely now.

I met my grandfather down by the river, he was traveling with a woman in an RV, they had been to Alaska, he was fine, they had plenty of money and he was having a good time.

Sleeping disorders are tough on dreaming, and also medicated sleep can be tough. You can still dream during any period of sleep but sometimes certain techniques that interrupt patterns of sleep don't adapt well for people with sleeping disorders.

However, using a dream plan and dream routine does help, there is the while falling asleep do this review part of the training if that keeps a person awake, I recommend moving that into the very first phase of dream planning before one goes to sleep, and then just going to sleep, then working on recall in the morning.

Adapting the training to fit your natural sleeping pattern is the most ideal but yes some techniques people use can cause a person to stay awake while falling asleep so moving components of that to the before-bed part is helpful.

Lots of way to custom taylor a dream routine and dream plan around lifestyle and other challenges and still have results.

Even a non-lucid high-fidelity ultra-realistic dream can be very rewarding. Especially if you notice you programmed it in the pre-dream as part of your dream planning.

Meant to add, he was a Cowboy so that drew the connection into the dream narrative

You are a jerk. This guy is on the money

My longest dream experience was over 2 months in a single dream, lasted approximately 8 hours and when I awoke I was so tired and completely confused as to how I got back into my room. In the dream I had awoken from sleep 30 times in my own bed before the apocalypse happened and I spent 30 more days there. I then awoke the next day completely confused to reality and how I remembered 60 days in the span of 8 hours.

I have about 10 dreams a night, most more real than waking life.

Some dreams will be feature length and last hours even after waking up and going the toilet they continue like a pause button was pressed.

I read Stephen Leberge stuff 20years back and bought a dreamlight, all worked.

If you want to stay lucid in a dream don't let on you know you are dreaming to the subconscious mind or it will wake you up. It's very hard not to tell the other dream characters they are in a dream lol.

The thing that brings me most dreams is eating cheese late at night.

Thanks for posting your research.

How much?

LOL

What are your thoughts on the Carlos Castaneda ?

Also, what health benefits do you find with taking charge of your dreams?

I commonly dream for about 5-7 days in a single 8 hour sleep session, over the years I have pin pointed a single dream hour in real time can be up to and even more than 24 hours in dream time. What has truly blown my mind recently is my acknowledgment that the conscious mind is actually not present in dreams, even when you use lucid dreaming. There is some form of secondary consciousness that takes over during dreams. It is you but it is not connected to the awake you.

I once dreamt a lifetime in 10mins, pretty bizarre stuff where time is concerned.

Dead family members showing up are not a surprise in dreams, makes you wonder if conciousness is outside of time.

The perception of time in dreams vs clock time is something that does come up in dream culture. Also with entheogens, hypnosis and other altered-states of consciousness people have reported having a sense of time, or "duree" that is longer than physical clock-time.

Very noticeable in dreaming during short naps where 20 minutes of napping seems to produce hours of dream content. Having written on this topic over the years, I have had a lot of e-mails from people who have had "extended time" in dreams that span not into just two months, but some say entire lifetimes.

I know dream practitioners who invoke this, one who is from India that has trained in dreaming exclusively for spiritual practice and can do what he claims as being 10 years.

It creeps up in my dreams from time-to-time but the longest perception of dream-time that I can safely guage is only 2 weeks, can never seem to break that barrier. Still, it's interesting when fully lucid to find yourself in such a prolonged state of time. I can hit the eject button anytime so I do push the limits as I value the cultivation of time in dreams as part of my personal practice.
