About this blog

Oh word, its Ty and Jacob's totally awesome lucid dreaming blog.

Our Purpose:

With this blog my colleague Jacob and I wish to further explore, educate, and unravel, the world of lucid dreaming for ourselves and the public at large.  This topic that has been heard about by many, but only experienced by few, so we hope to help all that our curious to learn something new. We hope to provide some perspective and guidance for anyone who has had some previous experience with lucid dreams or would like to learn more about why they dream.

What to Expect:

In this blog we will post articles and other findings that we deem educational and/or interesting, and then use them to generate open discussion.  Along side of this we will be using this blog as a dream journal where we will intermittently post the descriptions of dreams we've had.

Our Interest:

Ty:  I first heard about lucid nearly a decade ago and found it to be a unique idea since it is something I had never thought about before; a world where anything is possible.  I briefly looked into it, but lost interest as the technique I found to induce them seemed painstakingly impractical.  However recently, I have begin to take interest in the topic again.  What fascinates me are the creative and practical applications of dreaming.  They are a place where your imagination can become reality and a world where creation become uninhibited, though maybe never tangible.

Jacob:  My interest in this blog is to use it as a dream journal and to use my knowledge if neurobiology to respond to the articles that Ty finds. I do not remember my dreams often so it will be nice to have a place to record the ones I can remember in a public forum. This is an attempt for me to explore a more personal side of a topic that I have studied in several classes. To this end I will leave comments on Ty's posts as well as my own dreams talking about what might be going on in terms of the concepts that I have been taught or have come across in my research. I look forward to seeing if common themes arise from my dreams and to see if Ty and I can help to further the understanding of what dreaming and lucid dreaming mean. Furthermore, I am going to try and write ridiculous (but logical) interpretations of all the dreams to show how they can been easily misinterpreted.
