I happen to watch a movie about dreams after a long long time... actually it was after "The Matrix". This isn't an action movie though.
"Waking Life" tells the story of a young man who drifts in an out of a cycle of dreams, trying hard to wake up for real... he is so frustrated because he could not wake up breaking the chain of dreams and lucid dreams.
But hey, if it was me, I will never want to wake up from a lucid dream... It's a dream of everyone to have lucid dreams continuously like that ;-)
It addresses philosophical ideas in depth too... And this movie launched or brought back the desire to have lucid dreams back in me. So I recommend this to every lucid dreaming enthusiast.
What's more, I discovered a new musician (new to me)... Guy Forsyth, from this movie (yes he plays as a dream character in a scene too). I really liked the way he played the Mandolin, or some instrument like that :-) in the movie scene while talking about dreams with the movie's main character.
The video editing is so cool. They have used a technique that makes the whole movie look almost like a dream.
There was a scene where the main character meets a hot girl, and they start kissing... And I thought, well, this is a lucid dream and he is going to make love to her, but he wakes up in the middle of the kiss, as it happens to all of us ;-) God only knows why we tend to snap out of a lucid dream and wake up suddenly when we are excited seeing a hot girl in a lucid dream ;-)
Anyway, this is a cool movie, that every 'dreamer' should watch.
Happy dreaming.

A way to increase lucid dreams, from Paul Brunton the philosopher
I remember the day I had my first lucid dream... I was actually shocked recently when I remembered about the incident back in around year 2003. Because of the ease with which I have achieved lucidity back then.
Even though I haven't read much about lucid dreams or even had no access to the Internet, the lucid dreaming experience came within 3 days, after I read (an practiced!) an interesting technique in a book that was not related to lucid dreaming.
It was non other than the book named "Wisdom Of The Overself" by Paul Brunton, a European philosopher. Who talked about meditation, religion etc.
His technique was simple. When one gets onto bed at night, he asks to close the eyes as we would normally do and to relax the whole body (usual stuff). We should try to calm our minds and think of the day's incidents in sequential order...
The only thing I don't remember is whether he asked to go through the events in reverse order or to start from morning and come upto the moment we got onto bed.

I will update if I get to know that bit soon, if I get my hands on that book again (I couldn't find the book where I live... I used to read the book in a public library back then)
Anyway, in summary, when I had little experience in reading about stuff like lucid dreaming and astral projection, his technique yeilded results within 3 days. That was the amazing fact I remember. But please remember that he is not a lucid dreaming or astral projection guru.
Happy dreaming...

Another chain of nonsense :-)
Had a night of uncontrollable dreams... the kind that has no link between each other, and no sense at all...
I was in my home town, in the previous house our family owned. It was so long since I saw this house in a dream. My car has been parked but somebody in the neighborhood has taken it for a ride and I was annoyed about it. It lasted only a while and suddenly I was walking along the roads of my home town... in the city wearing an Indian sarong and covering my head and bust with a bead sheet! It felt very cold. This is because I was really cuddled in bed under a bed sheet in a cold night... I think that is the reason for this bed sheet covered walk in the dream :-)
When this scene changed, I was in my car... driving happily in the roads of my home town... there was no much traffic as usual and I was enjoying the ride thinking, "its always a bliss to drive in the roads of my hometown". I really felt happy about the lack of traffic. Because I live in a place where traffic jams are a common thing.
Then I was walking near a playground where there were so many people standing in bunches talking to each other. I see in the middle of the playground a bunch of guys who looked like thugs harrasing someone... in an intant I started to behave like a policeman and went and started insulting them (the thugs). The guys were scared seeing me and I was playing the 'macho man' role for a while, rescuing the innocent civilian who was harrassed by them.
Again the scene changes and I am entering a silent house... creeping into a room, there was someone hiding behind the door... someone who was very nervous, holding a knife! I was with a weird kind of knife too and in the other hand i was holding a gun. I calm the nervous man and become friends with him and have tea with him! ;-)
There appears a girl I know well, she talks to me about something serious, and leaves. When I come out of the house, I am standing infront of our previous family house again. Somebody was driving my car there in front of the house, trying to park in in a corner. That person had a swollen skull!
Then I am inside our previous house and somebody knock the door. I see through the hole and see that its the 2 kids I knew from across town. The younger one, a girl is now grown a bit and looked cute. They come inside and thats all I remember about them...
I am standing again in town and see someone selling lottery... I go there and try to buy a lottery ticket and find that the document looks weired.. something like a passport. I find it hard to understand but I buy one and leave there...
The above dreams were coming in a sequence... God only knows why dreams make no sense sometimes ;-)
Hope I would become lucid soon...

Woman in lingerie with puppies
I remember seeing a furry Pomeranian dog as the profile picture of a friend in facebook during the day. The dog was white in color and was so cute. I commented in a happy note in my friend's profile.
This must have been the reason why I saw a dream featuring white Pomeranian dogs! It was not just a cute innocent dream because it featured cute puppies. It was a little bit of a sexy dream too since I saw a very gorgeous woman in my dream after a long long time. In fact I should say this is the 1st time I saw such a sexy woman in such a glamorous dress in my dream, coupled with two cute furry puppies to add to the excitement.
It went like this...
I was walking through a small jungle, in a not-so-good mood (I would have been in a good mode if I was lucid, because now, when thinking back about the jungle, it was an awesome place). I came to a house in the middle of the jungle and went inside, as though I am familiar with the place. The house was located next to a road above. From this house I can see 2 more houses (only the top part of them because this house was located below the road).
I saw a white Pomeranian puppy running through the road to the far right and was sniffing below as though she is getting ready to pee. And because I peeped in the window to take a look at her, the puppy sees me and looks at me curiously with those innocent eyes. At the same time... here's the best part... I see someone, coming down the road from the house at the top of the road, walking fast to keep up with a another white Pomeranian puppy. It was a woman. She was wearing silky white see-through long-sleeved big shirt on top... buttons open, which covered up to her knee. She was wearing a "Victoria's secret" style lingerie (it appears that she has put on the shirt just to come out of the house, which does nothing to cover her beauty and the lingerie since its a silky thin see-through shirt and the buttons are all open too)
She had a great figure, a tight body. I could clearly see the lean muscles in her thighs when she was walking fast to catch up with the puppy, coming closer and closer to my house. I was watching through the window and now I move to the door to get a good look (my heart beats faster and I can feel my erection in my pants out of the excitement of seeing a gorgeous woman in lingerie). Only then I notice that she is holding a pan or a plate in her hand. It seems she is feeding food to the puppy and she is chasing her everywhere begging it to eat... how sweet.
The puppy stops right on top of my house and she also comes near the puppy, to the edge of the road. Now I can clearly see the workings in her dress... the sewing has artistic patterns that are open which shows her soft skin nicely. She has great looking breasts and great legs. She smiles at me and we talked. She was telling something about the two puppies and I was responding politely too. I don't remember the conversation well, as I did when I was awake on the day I saw the dream... maybe I should blog about the dreams on the same day or should record the details on the phone before I get out of bed.
She then says goodbye and turns her back towards me to return to her place... I see more patterns in the lingerie through her see-through shirt... and her buttocks had great curves and I notice how tight her body was. She had an athletic figure.
I wish I can see her again in a dream... better if it's a lucid dream so that I can plan the encounter well ;-)

Fish and crocodiles...
Saw this dream during the early hours as I remember. The place looked like a shrine of some sort. I was walking up on a steep road, where to my right side, I saw a tall wall. That's where I saw this scary and weird thing...
There were huge fish... so huge like sharks. But they are not sharks. They looked like normal salmon fish, but enlarged!. They are not in water either. They are just 'put' there next to the wall on top of each other. So that there are 3 or 4 fish at the bottom and a couple of fish on top of those 3 or 4 and a another 3 on top, likewise.
There was a artificial waterfall that poured water from atop the wall so that these fish stayed alive. They were all slippery and struggled to escape, while an equally huge crocodile which was on top of them all, was feeding on them. Taking huge chunks of the fish each time.
Felt awkward when I was awake, thinking about this dream. I was a little frustrated too, because its been a while since I became lucid while dreaming. Maybe its because I did not update this dream journal. They say, dream journals are the best way to train our minds to remember dreams.
Got to keep at it from today at least...
Happy dreaming.
