No Ordinary Sleep
Dream Tip
Changing your sleeping habits - particularly, waking yourself after the first five or so hours of sleep, staying awake for a while, then returning to sleep for the remaining hours may facilitate conscious dreaming.
Dream Tip cards contain hints and tips to improve your odds of having a lucid dream.

I've always been interested in dreams, particularly the type known as a lucid dream (where the dreamer is aware that s/he is dreaming).

I haven't had many lucid dreams (I tend to lose myself in books and movies, and dreams have the same effect on me) but I've gradually improved my dream recall and the incidence of lucidity over the years.

I make a lot of art, and tend to tack it up all over; I've recently been adding phrases like "Is This a Dream?" to various images that I like, so I'll be reminded whenever I see them to do a reality check (a periodic test of whether I'm dreaming right now - getting into this habit while awake makes it more likely you'll do a reality check within a dream.)

So far, some images are available at Cafe Press on T-shirts, mugs and mousepads:

Lucid Dreaming triggers - reality check reminders - now you can get some of these images on T-shirts, mugs and mousepads from CafePress.

Or open your own store with your own digital images for free!

Or mail me about commissioning an image for a CafePress store - I'll open the store for you, create and load the image(s).

If you have a color printer, feel free to print out any of the images you like for your own use.

The links below are for the books and websites I've found the most helpful and interesting - I've read and visited quite a few, but these are my favorites.

Happy Dreaming!

Gayle Delaney
One of my favorite authors on dreams; I recommend her books highly. She outlines clear and easy to use techniques for understanding the personal symbolism of dreams, dream incubation and improving dream recall. Her 'Dream Interview' technique is particularly helpful.

Robert Moss
Dreamwork with a Shamanist slant; his books are excellent. His work covers lucid and precognitive dreams as well as healing dreams. His technique for Dream Re-entry can be used to consciously re-experience a dream (and if desired, change it).

The Lucidity Institute
Scientific study of lucid dreaming. The Institute sells various devices designed to improve lucidity; the web site also contains a wealth of techniques for becoming and remaining lucid in dreams, as well as the results of research they conduct.
cover Stephen LaBerge's most recent book on lucid dreaming. It's full of exercises designed to help you get lucid. The perspective is more scientific and less mystical.
Through the Mirror
This is a truly beautiful site with a tremendous amount of information. It's a good one to browse through before you go to sleep, to keep your mind on dreams.
A huge collection of dream links
Huge! Tons! Great reference!
