W.I.L.D. Night

I don't really remember who (or what) it was that first introduced me to the idea of Lucid Dreaming...It seems as though CHAOS (or perhaps what Mr. Lovecraft named, Yog-Sothoth) is the helmsman of my "life-boat." But what kept me interested in the subject was (and still is) the idea that i would be experiencing and experimenting with an idea that hasn't been completely structured. A sort of free form idea that maintains it's ability to change shape and meaning. Lucid Dreaming, in my mind, is a state of constant potential and evolution!


I found this the other day while researching:

Photobucket

Check it out (D.I.Y.)

Stay tuned! I'm working on a post about some recent experiments...

Dream Argument (blog teaser)

"He who dreams of drinking wine may weep when morning comes; he who dreams of weeping may in the morning go off to hunt. While he is dreaming he does not know it is a dream, and in his dream he may even try to interpret a dream. Only after he wakes does he know it was a dream. And someday there will be a great awakening when we know that this is all a great dream. Yet the stupid believe they are awake, busily and brightly assuming they understand things, calling this man ruler, that one herdsman ‑ how dense! Confucius and you are both dreaming! And when I say you are dreaming, I am dreaming, too. Words like these will be labeled the Supreme Swindle. Yet, after ten thousand generations, a great sage may appear who will know their meaning, and it will still be as though he appeared with astonishing speed."

-Zhuangzi

I'm still outlining the functions of this blog. Hopefully, within the next few weeks, I'll have postings at regular intervals documenting the world of my lucid dreams. Also, expect to see information on dream studies, as well as book recommendations and anything else i might find amusing.
