By Peter A. Luber © 2014 As lucid dreamers, we all recognize the importance of REM sleep to dreaming and we try to join it as precisely as we can during our lucid dreaming attempts, so that we can enjoy a lucid dream that lasts as long as the REM period itself. That‘s all good,…
By Maria Isabel Pita © 2014 ‘Hieroglyphs are pictures used as signs in writing. Many depict living creatures or objects (and) some signs represent the object they depict… However, very few words are written in this way. Instead, hieroglyphic picture-signs are used to convey the sound (and meaning) of the ancient Egyptian language.’ From How…
Does space actually exist in your lucid dreams? Many of you may find this question strange. Once lucid, you fly around cities, go through walls and explore the dreamscape. In fact, some lucid dreams involve almost constant exploring. Space certainly seems to exist, since you perceive yourself moving through it. Yet as a lucid…
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…
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…

By Albert Lauer © 2014 I was fourteen when a series of sleep paralyses incidents left me distraught. The first time it happened, I was sure I was dying. I had no control and even my breath seemed to stop. Apart from not being able to move, most notable were the vibrations, paired with loud…
By Gustavo Vieira © 2014 I look out a window of my house and am surprised to see my sister, who lives several States away, approaching along a sidewalk. I gladly welcome her surprise visit, and let her in. She tells me she’s on her way to a concert, and will only be staying for…
By Hayden Ebert © 2014 Lucid dreams, Out of Body Experiences (OBEs), Astral Projection… as if the subject of consciousness were not complicated enough, we have all this terminology to decipher. There are hugely varying opinions on the subject of what defines one experience versus another and, as a result, many people remain confused. Ultimately,…
By Gustavo Vieira © 2014 Usually, my WILDs tend to be like OBEs. I say this because those dreams always start with me on my bed in the position I fell asleep in. Here’s what usually happens: Around 6:00 AM – 7:00 AM when I wake up, after a little WBTB, I lay down on…
By Dawn Baumann Brunke © 2014 Imagine yourself in your private dream world, walking through an Arctic landscape, shoulder to shoulder beside a polar bear. You wake up inside the dream and realize: I am dreaming! You turn to the bear, look into his eyes, and realize that he, too, is awake within the dream.…
By Josh Langley © 2014 In the early days of my consciousness exploration, my first OBEs were instigated from dreams.
