If I could somehow hook up a machine to record my dreams on some form of video format, I'd make epic bank selling them.

2019-08-23 14:48:28 UTC  

this won't work if you ahve no idea where you are in your dreams

2019-08-23 14:48:34 UTC  

I worked long ago to have and maintain lucid dreams.

2019-08-23 14:49:22 UTC  

My dreams are far too entertaining, on the whole, to want to mess with the format. So I've never really bothered to do things like take "dream enhancers" (i.e. St. John's Wort) or learn to lucid dream.

2019-08-23 14:49:22 UTC  

Mostly let the narrative flow, because it's my mind attempt to consolidate past or predicted events with other possibilities.

2019-08-23 14:49:53 UTC  

the only dream enhancer that I know of is fish oil and I had mixed results

2019-08-23 14:50:03 UTC  

I do take Omega 3s.

2019-08-23 14:50:11 UTC  

it's doing somethhing but not enough imo

2019-08-23 14:50:17 UTC  

Yeah, straight-up fish oil.

2019-08-23 14:50:24 UTC  

I learned it because child-me entertained the Venom Spiderman arch of the 90s far too seriously.

2019-08-23 14:50:25 UTC  

I take it for other reasons, though.

2019-08-23 14:50:34 UTC  

the best way to control a lucid dream is to stay calm but good luck lol

2019-08-23 14:50:49 UTC  

And my dreamscape is the one place where I have absolute control.

2019-08-23 14:51:03 UTC  

yesterday my mind was so confounded my head started hurting for a solid 30 seconds

2019-08-23 14:51:08 UTC  

during the nap I had

2019-08-23 14:51:17 UTC  

and the very short lived lucid dream

2019-08-23 14:51:27 UTC  

My life is so boring, I look forward to the inspired chaos of my dreamscapes.

2019-08-23 14:51:44 UTC  

I can feel my left lobe surging with immense electrical activity as stupid and retarded as that sounds

2019-08-23 14:51:50 UTC  

I got way too excited yesterday

2019-08-23 14:51:56 UTC  

usually I fair better with lucid dreams

2019-08-23 14:52:10 UTC  

take it easy and fly away

2019-08-23 14:52:12 UTC  

not yesterday

2019-08-23 14:52:16 UTC  

maybe the heat fucked me

2019-08-23 14:52:49 UTC  

Thing is, I used to dream increadibly vividly, before I started on my current medications in '06. The trade-off was worth it, because it helped me level out, but since then I've been slowly but surely getting my dream powers back.

2019-08-23 14:53:04 UTC  

ehhh

2019-08-23 14:53:14 UTC  

for me regular vivid dreams are more rare

2019-08-23 14:53:27 UTC  

however lucid dreams half of them have overrealistic vividness to them

2019-08-23 14:53:41 UTC  

I can phisically feel the texture of cobblestones and other crap I touch

2019-08-23 14:54:02 UTC  

medication for what

2019-08-23 14:54:06 UTC  

hyperactivity?

2019-08-23 14:54:08 UTC  

No.

2019-08-23 14:54:09 UTC  

Ah, aye... mostly I go for the "earned my sleep" state.. but when I do the dreams I manifest are all the more hyperreal.

2019-08-23 14:54:20 UTC  

Depression.

2019-08-23 14:54:25 UTC  

Understandable

2019-08-23 14:54:29 UTC  

But also I couldn't get a full night's sleep.

2019-08-23 14:54:34 UTC  

I haven't touch midn altering medication yet

2019-08-23 14:54:41 UTC  

I hope I can go without it

2019-08-23 14:54:52 UTC  

just vitamins and minerals

2019-08-23 14:55:07 UTC  

Only things I go for is nicotine (vape in the modern), caffeine and a touch of wine.

2019-08-23 14:55:18 UTC

2019-08-23 14:55:36 UTC
