Episode 1 – Introduction
As someone who loves listening to podcasts and does so on a daily basis, I searched for a podcast about Lucid Dreaming and when I didn’t find one (Update: this didn’t come up the first time, but I now discovered the Dream Views podcast – check it out), the idea started brewing that perhaps I should try to record one. This is that attempt.
I consider this an experiment, just like the blog, in diving further into my own Lucid Dreaming practice as well as my desire to share it with others and basically open up my experience so others might benefit from it and that I may benefit from them when these efforts turn into a discussion and a conversion. That is the main idea behind it.
I will do my best to make this a quality podcast as well as an entertaining one. Lucid Dreams is a fascinating topic and should be talk about in a such a way. I hope you enjoy it and find it interesting.
Feedback, of all sorts, is always welcome!
Sweet & Lucid Dreams…

Luci – A New Lucid Dreaming Device Based on Brainwaves
My First Lucid Nightmare
Growing up I had plenty of nightmares. In fact for me, after watching a scary movie at the age of 7, nightmares became a nightly thing for a very long time.
Luckily enough my second lucid dream during childhood came at the perfect moment to save me from a monster and at the same time add to the realization of how powerful lucidity can be.
Remee Lucid Dreaming Mask Review
Update 10/5/2014
The mask, despite being comfortable to wear, was not easy for me to get used to during sleep (as it turns out a regular sleep mask isn’t either in my case) so it was hard for me to test it over many nights. In addition to that, the function of the light signal was not easy to time to my REM phases, although it was slightly easier with the nap mode if I activate during the night after waking up. It seems that many users have had similar issues and have not achieved much success with the Remee.
Part of the problem, other than the masks lack of ability to detect REM, is that it came with no guidance other than the operation manual, and for beginners and novices this was not sufficient to help them achieve lucidity. This mask is an aid and it can work but it still requires trial and error as well as persistence. Despite not being perfect, this device is good as an entry level lucid dreaming mask with a price more people can afford, making it a viable option for many.
My First Lucid Dream
For my first post I thought I’d share my first lucid dream and where my journey into consciousness in dreams started.
This dream was unique in more than just becoming aware that I was dreaming for the first time, it also had an element I rarely have in my dreams…. Music!
This was a short dream and I was about 6 or 7 years old at the time so my dream recall was not so good yet, but this brief but powerful dream stayed in my memory to this day. read more…
The Simplest Way to Start Lucid Dreaming
There is a lot to say about lucid dreaming but as a beginner’s guide I thought to keep it to the true basics.
Most beginner guides I came across do the same thing. Most of them go through all the methods that Stephen LaBerg has come up with in his years of research and detail them one by one (which include Reality Checks/Tests, WBTB, MILD, WILD, and many more). But as valuable and groundbreaking as they are, I found them to be overwhelming to most people who are new to lucid dreaming practices. Some of these techniques require disrupting your sleep, auto-suggestion, repeatedly checking if you are sleeping throughout the day and other, not so simple, methods. I will expend on those later on in blog articles, but I believe those are not the place to start with if you have limited time or don’t have the mindfulness/ability to use them. read more…
What is Lucid Dreaming?
It’s simple. Lucid Dreaming is knowing that you are dreaming while you are dreaming. It is having a dream when all of the sudden you become aware of the fact that you are in a dream. You snap out of that trance, out of that strange effect that makes you forget you are really in your bed, and wake you into the realization that you are indeed sleeping and that you are in a dream, and yet you do not wake up from that dream, you stay in a dream state exactly where you were a moment ago, only with the clarity that none of it is real while it’s all still going on.
This, if you have never experienced it before, is an astounding experience to say the least and no words can describe it if you had not had the exquisite pleasure of dream lucidity. read more…
