EP3: Lucid Dreaming Intro: A Waking Life Hack
03/26/21 • 10 min
What REALLY happens at the edge of consciousness? Dreaming is more than just a byproduct of sleep. Once you learn the basics of lucid dreaming, you can solve problems on demand and on a whole new level, not being limited by your logical conscious brain. In this episode we talk about techniques for lucid dreaming, beginner tips, and a bit about the science behind dreaming.
“Lucid dreaming has considerable potential for promoting personal growth and self-development, enhancing self-confidence, improving mental and physical health, facilitating creative problem solving and helping you to progress on the path to self-mastery. If you want to learn to paint, summon Rembrandt. Go fishing with Hemingway or Hesse and talk about that novel you’ve always wanted to write”. LaBerge, “ Exploring the World of Lucid Dreaming” 1990
“The process of creation is accompanied by the capacity to communicate with the most primitive layers of the unconscious. When this capacity to communicate includes the ability to ask the unconscious — in the form of the dreaming mind — for artistic inspiration, then the lucid dreaming artist may have a certain advantage over the non-lucid dreaming artist”. Chasseguet-Smirgel, J. (1995) ‘“Creative Writers and Day-dreaming”
While dreaming, there are no physical limitations to what can be created or done. The dreamer can do the “impossible”, enhance their skills, seek new ideas for stories or creations and even summon legends or mentors.

EP2: Lucid Dreaming vs Astral Projection
In this episode we talk to Demi, a weekly lucid dreamer! We discuss lucid dream experiences, as well as astral projection and some of the differences. Lucid dreaming = becoming conscious while already in the dreaming body. Astral projection = being aware of the entire transition of consciousness from the physical body to the dreaming body. Or put in another way: falling asleep consciously. In the end, there is really no battle. They are very similar in their end result, but they take different routes to get there.
Demi also introduces us to a "Pathworking" technique for lucid dreaming, in which you meditate right as you're falling asleep, and visualize a path taking you to your desired dreamscape.

EP4: Shared Dreaming
Ever wonder if we can dream in multiplayer with our friends and family? Well, we can and its called shared (or mutual) dreaming.
The phenomenon of shared dreaming is not as rare as you may think, and is becoming increasingly prominent especially as more people start to practice lucid dreaming and intend to reach the dream world together. Mutual Dreaming suggests indicates that some dreams may posses elements of a consensus reality. Dr Stephan LaBerge of The Lucidity Institute believes that mutual dreaming experiments in the lab can test the objective reality of shared dream worlds. Dreaming of others, especially while lucid, really contains an essence of that person's soul, rather than just your brains projection of who they are to you.
In this episode, Vilma, Martin & I talk about shared dreams, and even techniques such as PAL (or Partner Assisted Lucidity) breaks down that wall of private minds and turns lucid dream exploration into a social event.

The Dream World - EP3: Lucid Dreaming Intro: A Waking Life Hack
Transcript
We as humans spend an entire third of our lives asleep, where most of us sleepwalk through our dreams just as mindlessly as we walk through life. Although much is known about the purpose and benefits of sleep itself, the science behind dreaming is yet to be fully understood by scientists and philosophers. Psychologist Sigmund Freud really drew attention to the interpretation of dreams in the late 19th century, and introduced the idea of the subconscious representation of our desires th
