Outside of Time, Space, – and Consciousnes

May 8, 2019

By Lucy Gillis © 2014 It may seem ironic that in a magazine dedicated to lucid dreaming, I present an article that opens with a description of an experience in which lucid awareness was not only not present, but would have been impossible. Impossible, because in order to be lucid in the traditional sense, in…

Lucid Surrender: The Eye of the Heart

May 8, 2019

By Mary Zeimer © 2014 Let the eye of your heart be opened that you may see the spirit and behold invisible things.—Ahmad Hatif (1198) I have experienced lucid dreaming in large part as a pathway to knowledge of ‘the essence behind existence,’ a knowledge of the Self and a more Celestial consciousness. The following…

I awoke from a dream and was able to settle into sleep again. I slipped lucidly into the imagery of an urbanscape. Remembering Tholey’s study of the consciousness of dream characters, I decided to ask some dream characters a few simple math questions.

My lucid dreams always start differently. They begin as a usual dream in which I’m doing a regular daily activity. Something out of place happens and I realize I’m dreaming.

I am standing with 5 or 6 people. We are dressed in dark, loose-fitting clothes, hiking boots, and wear some sort of backpack on our backs. Some of us have other gear (unsure what kind, electronic equipment?) as well. We are about to go on a ‘mission,‘ an exploratory expedition.
