Frank, I have been preoccupied with work of late but both the gf and I were experimenting with techs to lucid dream - she has done much better and continues to remember dreams but we are both falling short of complete lucid dreaming. The reward is a world where you can do anything including fly - it is still a virtual reality but so immersive that we experience it as real. Tools are available for free as Apps.. lucid dreamer and Binaural Beats are very good - the concept is that the low freqs for alpha and beta states can be slaved to the diff freq of tones delivered to each ear. The apps sweep these freqs at different rates and intensity in pursuit of different goals..power naps, lucid dreaming, concentration ect, ect.. there are also the old tricks of writing down notes and most important mantras repeated alternately aloud and to oneself to remember your dreams just before you fall off- having a partner or recording reinforce this goal of remembering is very useful.

From: Frank Znidarsic [mailto:fznidar...@aol.com] Sent: Saturday, November 08, 2014 1:34 PM To: vortex-l@eskimo.com Subject: EXTERNAL: [Vo]:dreams I am fully aware of what is going on in my waking life and I believe that I do understand my interaction with the environment About a month ago I dreamed that I was at the local Vo-Tech and that I put on a pair of sneakers. A man came running after me and said you sole my shoes. When I arrived at home I realized that I had put on the wrong pair of sneakers. I then put them in the lost and found box at the mall. I did not want to see that man again. There was nothing remarkable about this dream except that I remember it. It's the sort of thing that process the days events. It seems to be random and disconnected from the waking life. Last night I dreamed that I was going into the Vo-Tech and the security guard pulled me aside. He said some man was after me. Why, I wondered why, is he a nut! The security guard told me I sole his sneakers. I did not remember that. I did not do that! Then the security guard told me that the man then found his sneakers at the lost and found box in the mall. Then I remembered the previous dream event and woke up to tell this story. How could this be? All of the information from the previous dream was all implanted in my one mind. The security guard was a figment of this minds's dream. How could he know things that my dreaming self did not? We were both operating on the same set of information. What's remarkable is that our minds can hide information from the dreamer that one of the characters in the dream knows. Then we can later remember it. How can that be, its like a locked data set. I have now discovered that there is a lot going on in our minds that we are not aware of. Dreams can go in a sequel with a different set of characters than exist within our waking life. Frank Z
