It is thursday already. Going great. Feel that I have really settled by now, meaning, I do not feel to do a reality check each time I see Stephen LaBerge wander around Kalani and my sleep is getting better by the day.

Dream recall techniques

Yesterday was pretty basic. We talked about dream recall and how to know the difference between dreaming and being awake; dreamsigns. It is great to listen Stephen lecture. Especially because his answers are so elaborate; he has acquired an enormous amount of knowledge and insight with regard to – not only lucid dreaming – but sleep, dreaming, consciousness, philosophy.

Each time he replies to a question, you feel a gentle dissatisfaction to every of his answers, in that he really needs a full lecture to give each question proper justice. The topic is so complicated. Yet again he inspires all through addressing key issues, sharing his deep understanding of the dream stuff, and guiding us on our path to become more skilled oneironauts.

Getting to know the others

I am also getting to know the other attendees much better. Learning about their backgrounds, their driving questions and goals. It is kind of weird to so easily find so many lucid dreamers around to talk with during the day; so many who are interested in the topic; talks at breakfast, lunch, dinner; even in between breaks.

Got to talk to Keelin a lot, learning about the history of the Lucidity Institute, the development of the program and research from the early days. I love to hear about stories of Stephen and his research. We all stand on his shoulders, for lucid dream induction is concerned.

I was wonderfully delighted to learn that both Stephen and Keelin were actually having their eyes on us (Lucidipedia) for several years now; loving our video tutorials and the way we promote lucid dreaming in Europe. We both love to partner up. There is a lot in store for Lucidipedia these next few years.

I did not go on any site seeing tour adventure, yet. Pretty excited to go snorkeling at a beautiful hot natural pool nearby. With the lucidity group we will also go out on two organized trips. It is great to see how quickly the group is already bonding. The atmosphere is much more comparable to that of a group of informally related friends “staying over” at Kalani rather than being it some sort of a formal conference.

Preview of the NovaDreamer 2

That evening I was honored to use the new NovaDreamer 2 that Stephen and his team are working so hard on to perfect and finish. I had never used any lucid dream induction mask before, so I could not wait to get my hands on one to try. The others will start using one tomorrow night.

The idea is simple: you wear a computerized dream mask during the full night, which starts flashing bright red lights on the inner side of the mask once you are in REM sleep; affording for reliable and predictable dreamsign incorporations (i.e. light related dream events) for becoming lucid much more quickly. Though I cannot elaborate on the new features (it is still in development), I will sure buy one as soon as Stephen releases one. So be sure to keep in check with Lucidity.com to stay updated if you are as interested to get one yourself.

Today

This morning I spend time to talk with Joey and Trevor while eating breakfast at the Lanai. It did not leave me with enough time to blog, so I did that later in the day (now at 5pm). After the morning session I had my first talk with Stephen on opportunities to contribute to lucid dream research. There is lots for me to do.

I feel quite passionate about supporting and improving on ways to help people interested to become lucid much more reliably and easily. All known techniques of today are reasonably effective, but it has not yet reached that level of where it could (should) be. I would like to steward that change together with Stephen. And that is what we will do.
