Dream a Little Dream of Me

Lucid dreaming? Traveling to other spaces and places? Fact or fiction? What's it all about and do I want to do it?

I've always been a vivid dreamer. My dreams often feel so very real that I used to often wake up unsure of where I was for my first few seconds of complete consciousness. There have been many times that I haven't enjoyed this process. I wanted more control so I could enjoy it more, thus I looked into ways to help this. I discovered that I wanted to be a lucid dreamer.

As a huge fan and follower of string theory and other branches of physics, I became enamored with the book Suddenly Psychic by Maureen Caudill. Caudill is a physicist, turned psychic, and non-fiction/fiction author all in one. Her background and writing gave me an interesting perspective that you, too, might find interesting.

This lead me to the Monroe Institute with their Hemi-Sync material. While seemingly bizarre, I decided to try a couple of their CDs. I found the words themselves bland and boring, yet somehow opening. My youngest daughter and I have been finding equally powerful and rewarding results. These CDs are helping her realize that her dream of levitating might not be so far fetched after all.

To be slightly non sequitur, one of my all time favorite movies is Dream A Little Dream. Great music, too. :) I'm a huge fan of speculative fiction (I'm still looking for a good publisher that feels similarly, in case anyone here happens to be one).
