    Your waking mind can gain a deeper understanding of
    your life via dream interpretation.? When I awake i
    reflect on the dream experience, the content,
    the repeating themes and my dream emotional responses
    in order to gain a deeper and richer
    understanding of my waking reality.

    my dreams holds detailed information about my
    waking reality, in a symbolic form.

    When I interpret the dream i realise
    that most dreams are not literal or predictive.
    my mind chooses symbols to represent things in
    my waking life that I am working
    on for my personal growth.

    Every detail my dreams, from colours, people, places,
    objects and events is a symbol of something in my
    waking life. Even the people in my dreams represent
    a part of ME or my LIFE.
    They very, very seldom represent the actual people.

    Write out your dream and underline the keywords of
    people, places, events, objects, colours, etc.
    Then try to work out what each thing MEANS to YOU.
    This is why you cannot rely on a typical dream
    interpretation book to give you the meanings of
    things in your dream. Your dreams are personal to you.

    If five people dream of a snake, each persons
    interpretation will be different.For example: they all dream that they kill the snake.

    One dreamer says that when she thinks of snakes,
    she gets afraid as they frighten her.
    The snake in her dream is about a waking life fear of
    hers that she feels she has just killed/overcome.

    Another dreamer might say: I love snakes, I think of
    sensuality and power when I think of snakes. (This is my interpretations when i dream of snakes)
    Now if she killed a snake in her dream it would be
    interpreted as her feeling as if she has ?killed
    her sensuality and power. (and I would never do that)

    The above are two very different interpretations.

    So you must find your own meanings of the
    symbols in your dreams!!!What does each of the things in your dream mean to you?

    Here is the tips I use


    1. BLOCKS
    Be aware that you may have blocks to dream recall.
    Blocks include a fear of looking at
    what issues dreams are bringing up for you.

    2. SLEEP CYCLES
    Change and experiment with your sleep
    patterns to attempt to break into the dream
    cycle during REM sleep. If only Rev would stop waking me UP for a naughty!!!!

    3. SEX
    During the day SEX with then intention of
    dream recall and experiment helps in recalling
    a dream topic, e.g. an answer to a question.
    dream answers can be found by frequently repeating the art of sex with the thought
    of your desire to dream about your lover. (rev and i hear soulie uses this one with draco)
    The more 'conscious attention' given to the
    sexual thought, the better.

    4. DETAILS
    Record all the details of the above whatever is in
    your mind upon waking without judgment or censorship.
    This trains the mind to improve dream recall.

    5. IMPORTANCE
    Decide that your dreams are significant
    and motivate yourself to recall even
    the seemingly trivial dreams. (they are the best)

    6. STAY IN BED
    Don't jump out of bed upon waking,
    stay in bed ( WOOOHOOO ) and try to stay in the sleep
    position you were in (or spoon) , to improve recall.

    7. NO ALARMS
    Try to wake up before your alarm goes off,
    or use a gentle method of waking.
    Harsh sounds and sudden movement can break dream recall. (dont wanna do that so gentle movements are needed)

    8. DREAM JOURNAL
    Keep a dream journal, light and pen/pencil next to your bed. (and a copy of the karma sutra journal is also handy.. i borrowed Draco and the dirty bastard has some of the pages stuck togeter or missing)

    Feel free to share any information with us on your dream or your tips on recalling them [img]smile.gif[/img]

    Remembering your dreams is the starting place for learning to have lucid dreams. If you don't recall your dreams, even if you do have a lucid dream, you won't remember it! And, in order to be able to recognize your dreams as dreams while they are happening, you have to be familiar with the way your own dreams work. Before it will be worth your time to work on lucid dream induction methods, you should be able to recall at least one dream every night.
    Getting plenty of sleep is the first step to good dream recall. If you are rested it will be easier to focus on your goal of recalling dreams, and you won't mind so much taking the time during the night to record your dreams. Another benefit of getting plenty of sleep is that dream periods get longer and closer together as the night proceeds. The first dream of the night is the shortest, perhaps 10 minutes in length, while after 8 hours of sleep, dream periods can be 45 minutes to an hour long. We all dream every night, about one dream period every 90 minutes. People who say they never dream simply never remember their dreams. You may have more than one dream during a REM (dream) period, separated by short arousals that are most often forgotten. It is generally accepted among sleep researchers that dreams are not recalled unless the sleeper awakens directly from the dream, rather than after going on to other stages of sleep.

    It can be useful while you are developing your dream recall to keep a complete dream journal. Keep the journal handy by your bed and record every dream you remember, no matter how fragmentary. Start by writing down all your dreams, not just the complete, coherent, or interesting ones--even if all you remember is a face or a room, write it down.

    When you awaken in the night and recall what you were dreaming, record the dream right away. If you don't, in the morning you may find you remember nothing about the dream, and you will certainly have forgotten many interesting details. We seem to have built-in dream erasers in our minds, which make dream experiences more difficult to recall than waking ones. So, whenever you remember a dream, write it down. If you don't feel like writing out a long dream story at 3 AM, note down key points of the plot. Also write down the precise content of any dialogue from the dream, because words will almost inevitably be forgotten in a very short time.

    Possibly, all you will need to do to increase your dream recall is to remind yourself as you are falling asleep that you wish to awaken fully from your dreams and remember them. This works in a similar manner to remembering to awaken at a certain time in the morning. Additionally, it may help to tell yourself you will have interesting, meaningful dreams. A major cause of dream forgetting is interference from other thoughts competing for your attention. Therefore, let your first thought upon awakening be, "What was I just dreaming?" Before attempting to write down the dream, go over the dream in your mind, re-telling the dream story to yourself. DO NOT MOVE from the position in which you awaken, and do not think of the day's concerns. Cling to any clues of what you might have been experiencing--moods, feelings, fragments of images, and try to rebuild a story from them. When you recall a scene, try to recall what happened before that, and before that, reliving the dream in reverse. If after a few minutes, all you remember is a mood, describe it in a journal. If you can recall nothing, try imagining a dream you might have had--note your present feelings, list your current concerns to yourself, and ask yourself, "Did I dream about that?" Even if you can't recall anything in bed, events or scenes of the day may remind you of something you dreamed the night before. Be ready to notice this when it happens, and record whatever you remember.

    If you find that you sleep too deeply to awaken from your dreams, try setting an alarm clock to wake you at a time when you are likely to be dreaming. Since our REM periods occur at approximately 90 minute intervals, good times will be multiples of 90 minutes after you go to sleep. Aim for the later REM periods by setting the alarm to go off at 4.5, 6, or 7.5 hours after you go to sleep. Once again, when you wake up, don't move and think first of what you were just dreaming before writing.

    To remind yourself of your intentions and get yourself into the spirit of your dreams, read through your dream journal at bedtime. Learning to remember your dreams may seem difficult at first, but if you persist, you will almost certainly succeed--and may find yourself remembering four or more dreams per night. Of course, once you reach this level, you probably won't want to write them all down--just the significant or compelling ones. And, the more familiar you become with the style of your own dreams, the easier it will be to remember you are dreaming while you are dreaming--and explore the world of your dreams while still on the scene.

    Lucid dreaming offers the promise of enhanced control over dreams. Yet
    the question remains quite unanswered of how much dream control is
    possible. The ability to have lucid dreams also makes possible a way to
    study this issue. After having attained lucidity in a dream, dreamers
    can choose to carry out predetermined experiments testing their ability
    to achieve certain goals. In the "Free Fall" issue of NightLight (Vol.
    4, No. 4) we asked lucid dreamers to attempt certain tasks in lucid
    dreams and to report on the outcome. An introduction to the many
    viewpoints on dream control will put the findings from this study in
    context.

    WAYS OF CONTROLLING

    The definition of "control" used here is "the ability to determine or
    influence the course of events." This means that an individual's actions
    are causes with subsequent effects. One way to refine this definition is
    to distinguish between voluntary and involuntary control. Voluntary
    control means that you decide you want to produce a certain effect and
    take steps to cause it. For example, you want the house to be cleaner so
    you throw away stray papers. Involuntary control refers to unintended
    consequences of your actions. For example, one of those stray papers you
    threw away was the outline of the presentation you are to give tomorrow.
    The result is you have to write a new one. In a dream, an example of an
    involuntary effect would be causing a dream monster to pursue you by
    running away.

    There are different ways to approach controlling dreams. A method that
    does not require lucidity is predetermination: selecting the setting or
    topic of the dream prior to sleep. This is akin to the idea of "dream
    incubation" in which a person works to induce a dream about an important
    topic in order to answer a question or resolve a conflict. In her book,
    Creative Dreaming, Patricia Garfield presents some evidence that
    motivated people can choose to dream about desired topics. Post-hypnotic
    suggestions have also been employed in attempts to elicit particular
    dream topics, again with some success, as described by Charles Tart in
    his essay in Conscious Mind, Sleeping Brain, edited by Gackenbach and
    LaBerge (1988). Success with creating a particular dream setting,
    however, does not imply the ability to control the sequence of events in
    the dream.

    Concurrent control is ability to determine or alter the course of a
    dream in "real time," as it happens. This type of control is not limited
    to lucid dreams, anymore than our effect on the waking world is limited
    to times when we are thinking about what we are doing. Anytime we make a
    choice or act in a dream, we are controlling it. We may be unconscious
    of the reason for our choice, but the decision nonetheless originates
    within the self. However, people possessing lucid consciousness in their
    dreams are able to make deliberate choices and actions with full
    knowledge that they are experiencing a dream, and observe their effects
    on the course of the dream.

    The question addressed here is how well can we influence dreams in the
    directions we desire? Do actions produce the aimed-for effects? Do we
    have more or less control over our experiences in dreaming than in
    waking?


    THE RANGE OF OPINIONS REGARDING DREAM CONTROL

    In the modern world, a wide variety of theories and opinions about the
    possibility or impossibility of dream control coexist. At one extreme,
    stand (or, perhaps, stood, as this viewpoint may have faded in the face
    of irrefutable evidence) some sleep researchers whose reluctance to
    believe in the possibility of deliberate dream control came hand in hand
    with their disbelief in the verity of lucid dreaming. Their opinions
    rose out of a faulty philosophy defining sleep as "unconsciousness,"
    meaning lack of cognition. A better operational definition of sleep
    would be, "lack of perceptual awareness of the sleeper's environment."
    Without consciousness, clearly one could not consciously will anything.
    So, until an awareness arose among those studying dreams that dreaming
    was a state of consciousness, not unconsciousness, progress was not
    possible in this area.

    Another kind of disbelief has arisen from dreamworkers, who employ
    dreams to help people achieve better psychological balance. Much of
    dream-based therapy (although not all) has operated on the premise that
    dreams are things that happen to people, rather than events that people
    create. The creator of dreams has been named the "unconscious." Because
    of this and the prevailing notion in the scientific world that sleep is
    unconsciousness, it has become common for people to believe that dreams
    occur in the unconscious mind, independent of the conscious "ego."

    This cannot be true, however, because if it were, we would not be able
    to recall the experiences we have in dreams. Events that do not reach
    consciousness are not accessible to memory. The "I" of the dreamer, the
    one who sees, hears, feels, and reflects on the events happening in a
    dream is the self-awareness, the "ego," and it is conscious, although it
    may not be aware that its present circumstance is an entirely mentally-
    constructed world not guided by sensory information from physical
    reality.

    As an illustration of the point of view that dreams are both from and in
    the unconscious, here is an excerpt from Working with Dreams by Ullman
    and Zimmerman:

    Q. Can we program or control our dreams?
    A. No, not consciously. If we look upon a dream as a kind of natural
    resource flowing within us, if we liken it to a river, a river shaped
    by our life experience, then its flow will not be changed simply by
    having someone on the shore urge a new direction on it. But if the
    person on the shore does the work necessary to make a change in
    direction possible, the flow will alter as desired. The point of the
    analogy is that there has to be more than conscious intent to
    influence the flow. There has to be a genuine emotional investment.

    In the view expressed, dreams are predetermined "plays" somehow
    programmed out of the individual's current psychological processes. They
    are nothing like waking life. These same authors make an interesting
    comment about lucid dreaming. They state: "Although the dreamer can
    influence the subsequent course of dream once it becomes a lucid dream,
    the element of control occurs only within certain limits. An analogy
    might be Living Theater where, after the actors have created a certain
    framework, the audience is invited to influence the subsequent course of
    the play."

    This statement implies that dream control is limited to actions
    appropriate to the original setting of the dream, which has its own
    defined boundaries and rules. This seems to imply that whatever part of
    the mind determines the original dream setting has primacy over other
    parts of the mind. Certainly, one of the great mysteries of dreams is
    what determines the original setting and situation one finds oneself in
    a dream. Despite reports that some people are able to decide what they
    will dream about on occasion, for the most part, dream topics seem to
    arise out of some source that is definitely not in consciousness.
    However, there is no evidence in support of Ullman and Zimmerman's
    contention that dream control is limited by the framework of the
    original dream setting, and many would refute it based on their own
    experience.

    The Tibetan Buddhists, creators of the Dream Yoga, teach that it is
    possible to control every aspect of dream imagery. They use dream
    control as a method of comprehending the illusory nature of all
    experience, with the ultimate goal of transcending the relative and
    embracing the Absolute. In the "Doctrine of the Dream State" from
    Tibetan Yoga and Secret Doctrines translated by Evans-Wentz, we find the
    following instructions:

    At the outset, in the process of realizing [the dream] to be maya,
    abandon all feeling of fear;
    And, if the dream be of fire, transform the fire into water,
    the antidote of fire.
    And if the dream be of minute objects, transform them
    into large objects;
    Or if the dream be of large objects, transform them
    into small objects:
    Thereby one comprehendeth the nature of dimensions.
    And if the dream be of a single thing, transform it
    into many things;
    Or if the dream be of many things, transform them
    into a single thing...

    Then, the editors comment:

    By such practices, the yogin is taught to realize that matter, or
    form in its dimensional aspects, large or small, and in its numerical
    aspects, of plurality and unity, is entirely subject to one's will
    when the mental powers have been sufficiently developed by the yoga.
    In other words, the yogin learns by actual experience, resulting from
    psychic experimentation, that the character of any dream can be
    changed by transforming or willing that it shall be. A step further
    and he learns that form, in the dream-state, and all the
    multitudinous content of dreams, are mere playthings of the mind, and
    therefore, as unstable as mirage. A further step leads him to the
    knowledge that the essential nature of form and of all things
    perceived by the senses in the waking state are equally as unreal as
    their reflexes in the dream state..."

    The Tibetan Buddhists, however, were and are not given to sharing their
    personal dream experiences, so we cannot examine the nature of their
    dreams and their efforts to control them. Some notable Western expert
    lucid dreams have given us a look into what they have been able to
    accomplish. The Marquis d'Hervey de Saint-Denys was an extraordinarily
    accomplished lucid dream and wrote instructively about his experiences.
    He exhorted his readers to strive to control their dreams in his 1867
    book Dreams and How to Guide Them:

    Those who would see in the incidents of our dreams merely a succession
    of mechanically produced impressions over which one has no more control
    that a simple spectator has over some pictures will naturally declare
    any effort and any exercise of attention or will to be incompatible with
    the very nature of dreaming. Since the most valuable observations I have
    been able to make seem to me to be due to my ability to maintain the
    faculties of attention and will during sleep, I shall naturally place
    great emphasis on convincing the reader that he can and should exercise
    the same control over himself. Here I come to what is perhaps the most
    interesting of my new propositions, and one that is open to
    experimentation on any reader's part. For it is through the combined
    action of attention and will during dreams that one can take the first
    steps in directing and modifying the course of dreams as one wishes.

    Perhaps no one has experimented personally with dream control as much as
    Alan Worsley, the inveterate lucid dreamer who can claim to be the first
    to signal lucidity with eye movements in a sleep laboratory. First, a
    comment from Worsley regarding voluntary and involuntary control in
    dreams: "Non-lucid dreams use many principles that can be used in lucid
    drams. For instance, it is likely, in a non-lucid dram, that if one
    believes one looks into a book about a certain subject, one will find
    relevant pictures in it. In lucid dreaming, one can use this principle
    by deliberately selecting a book about a subject one wishes to study."

    Worsley has tabulated his attempts to influence dreams. A complete table
    of his results appears in Conscious Mind, Sleeping Brain, edited by
    Gackenbach and LaBerge. He rates the difficulty of various tasks as
    Hard, Medium, and Difficult, based on the percentage of times he was
    able to succeed at them. For example, he finds all attempts to penetrate
    dream matter with his dream body to be easy. Making sounds by striking
    things or speaking is easy. Reading single words or short phrases is
    easy, but reading long sentences is hard. He was never able to suddenly
    turn on a light in a dark room, although he was able to do so easily in
    a light room. Flying close to the ground was easy, and got progressively
    more difficult the higher he would try to go.


    EXPERIMENTAL STUDY OF DREAM CONTROL

    The wide range of opinions on the topic of dream control, and the
    reports we received of people's attempts to control dreams, piqued our
    curiosity about why it is sometimes it possible to achieve a desired
    outcome, and sometimes it is not. Because dreams are entirely illusory,
    it should be possible to experience anything imaginable. Thus, perhaps
    failures arise from not imagining strongly enough, or not believing a
    certain experience is possible. On the other hand, perhaps there are
    physiological limitations on the ability to control dream imagery.

    Our theoretical approach to dreams is based on the idea that the
    perceptual experiences in dreams arise out of activity in the same brain
    areas that produce perceptual experience in waking. This is why people
    have difficulty distinguishing dreaming from waking experience, and have
    to employ special techniques to recognize when they are dreaming.
    Physiological constraints on dream perception might occur if a certain
    brain area is not in a state conducive to the desired experience. For
    example, it might be hard to make a dark dream light, because the visual
    cortex is not active enough. This is one of the topics of research we
    would very much like to see explored: the relationship between dream
    perception and brain activity.

    The NightLight study was designed to assess how successful people would
    be at accomplishing certain well-defined tasks in lucid dreams.


    1. LIGHT SWITCH TASKS
    ------------------------------------------------------------------------
    A. Find a light switch (indoors).

    B. Turn it on, and see what happens, then turn it off, and see what
    happens.

    C. Turn the lights on and off by willing it to happen and observe the
    results. (These two tasks were counterbalanced so that some tried the
    "magic" first and some second.)


    2. MIRROR TASKS
    ------------------------------------------------------------------------
    A. Find a mirror.

    B. Observe your reflection in the mirror.

    C. Move your hand to your face, watching it in the mirror and observe
    how the reflection behaves.

    D. Pass through the mirror and see what is on the other side. (The
    instructions gave an example in which the dreamer passes through the
    mirror and ends up in a different scene.)


    These tasks represented a variety of types of influence, ranging from
    things that are easy to accomplish in waking (turning on a light,
    looking in a mirror), to impossible in waking (passing through a
    mirror). In addition, some tasks we thought might be impeded by brain
    state were included (the changing of light level). The purpose of asking
    people to both will a light on and off and switch it was to see what
    effect belief might have on the outcome. It is easier to believe a light
    will turn on when a switch is flipped than that will alone will turn on
    a light.

    The instructions asked the participants to try each task in waking prior
    to attempting the tasks in lucid dreams, so that they would have the
    procedure well-rehearsed. Then, they were to try each task at least once
    in a lucid dream. They did not need to complete all the tasks in one
    dream, but could use as many lucid dreams as they needed. So that they
    would not forget details, the participants were asked to awakening
    immediately after the experimental lucid dreams and make complete
    reports of their experiences.


    RESULTS

    Twenty-seven people submitted reports of their attempts to carry out the
    assigned tasks, fourteen women and thirteen men. Altogether they
    provided 65 lucid dream reports, an average of 1.4 per person. The
    maximum number of reports from one individual was four.

    A judge reviewed the reports to determine which tasks were attempted in
    each dream, and scored the result. The scoring for the tasks of finding
    a light switch or a mirror was either as "success" or "failure." The
    results of the actions of turning a light switch on and off, willing a
    light on and off, looking at a reflection, touching hand to face, and
    passing through a mirror received scores of "expected" if the result
    achieved the goal, "no result" if the action produced no response, and
    "unexpected" if something unpredictable happened.

    "Expected" for turning and willing a light on and off meant that the
    light went on and off as it would in waking. "No result" meant the light
    did not change. "Unexpected" meant something other than the chosen light
    turning on and off. Examples of unexpected light results were: "the bulb
    slowly filled with what appeared to be thick, black tar," and "When I
    threw the switch, the outside porch light came on instead of the room
    light...didn't really increase the overall illumination."

    For the task of looking at a reflection, a score of "expected" was given
    when people reported that their reflections in the dream looked like
    their reflections in waking. "No result" indicated that the person saw
    no reflection. This happened once; the person instead saw gray, swirling
    mist. If the reflection looked unlike the waking image, the result was
    rated "unexpected."

    The same criteria as for the reflection applied to moving the hand to
    the face while watching in the mirror. An example of "unexpected" for
    this task was, "As I raise my hand to my face I see the reflected image
    of my hand go up but from then on I notice an increasingly
    'hallucinogenic' breakdown of the image--such things as my finger,
    detached from my hand, disappearing into my mouth and holes appearing in
    my face."

    The result of trying to pass through a mirror was scored as "expected"
    if the dreamer was able to move through the mirror and found another
    setting on the other side. "No result" meant that the dreamer found the
    mirror hard and unyielding, as in waking. "Unexpected" applied to cases
    in which the dreamer got through the mirror, but was then somewhere
    unlike what was described in the task instructions, for instance, in the
    same room, or "in a world of cartoon-like images."

    The table [below] shows the results of the participants' tries at the
    tasks. The left-hand columns list the number of people who attempted
    each action and the number who achieved each kind of result. The right
    hand columns display the total number of tries at each task, and the
    number leading to each result.

    Looking at the number of "expected" results, that is, cases in which the
    action produced the desired result, it appears that "willing" a light to
    turn on or off and using a dream switch are about equally easy. There
    seemed to be more cases of "no result" with willing the light on, but
    the difference did not pass a statistical test. The data hint that it
    may be easier to get a dream light to turn off than on. However, this
    conclusion may be premature, given that in the majority of cases, before
    trying to turn off a light, the person had already succeeded in turning
    it on. There may be a condition in which if you can turn on a light in a
    dream, you can also turn it off.

    Clearly, it was very easy to find things in dreams that are usually
    around in waking, like a light switch and a mirror. People also had no
    difficulty performing the normal action of looking in a mirror and
    seeing a reflection, although it was more likely than not somehow
    different than the usual waking reflection, and in 12 cases (28%) the
    image transformed as the dreamer watched. This happened for 41 percent
    of the participants.

    It would be reasonable to predict that passing through a mirror to
    another scene would be the most difficult task, given that it is
    impossible in waking life. However, almost half of those who tried
    succeeded, and 86 percent of the people were able to get their dream
    bodies through the dream mirror at least once, even if they did not end
    up in a new scene. An example of an "expected" mirror result was, "I
    then went through the mirror and tried to imagine that the mirror was
    like water so I could easily slide through it. When I was fully through
    the mirror, I came up to the surface of the water I was in and noticed I
    was in a bright, sunlit backyard swimming pool with a roof shelter over
    it."


    DREAMS CAN BE DIRECTED, BUT STILL DO THEIR OWN THING

    The lack of large differences in the ease of accomplishment of the
    various tasks is in itself quite interesting. Lucid dreamers are able to
    exert a large amount of control over their dream experiences. But, it is
    far from perfect. Most notable is the reluctance of the mirror
    reflections to show normal images, and their fascinating instability.
    Self-image is of course a very psychologically loaded thing, probably
    with very complex internal representations. This may account for the
    strange images. The instability points up the most prominent difference
    between waking and dreaming perception. Dreams change. We exploit this
    in lucid dream induction training by instructing people to examine
    written phrases repeatedly, watching for them to change. An interesting
    question is whether the perceptual instability results from the lack of
    anchoring sensory input from the physical senses or from a state of the
    brain peculiar to REM sleep.

    In their studies, the Marquis d'Hervey de Saint-Denys and Alan Worsley
    observed something they called the "light switch" phenomenon. This was
    an inability to change the illumination of a room on demand. From this
    study, it seems that this phenomenon is sometimes present and sometimes
    not. Some people who were able to turn on lights reported no concurrent
    change in general illumination, but others reported that there was an
    increase in brightness?about half and half. So, "the light switch
    phenomenon" is not dead, but merely seems to be sleeping some of the
    time. A prime target for research would be to discover what the brain is
    doing under both circumstances.

    It was rather remarkably easy for people to pass through a mirror and
    find something else on the other side. One might think, along the lines
    of the quote earlier from Ullman and Zimmerman, that a complete scene
    change would be a difficult thing to accomplish. In fact, we have
    already seen in another study that it is more than possible. In the
    results from an experiment published in the April 1987 issue of Omni
    magazine, 51 people reported trying to arrive a particular pre-selected
    target by spinning in a dream. Eighteen of them (35%) succeeded in
    arriving at their target. Thus, not only is it possible to create a new
    scene, but also to create one that is specifically desired.

    In the final analysis, the Tibetan Buddhist view that all dream images
    are transmutable may be exactly right. If so, we wonder if it may be
    possible also to learn to control the stability of these images,
    creating lasting dream scenes and objects, achieving a state of virtual
    reality far beyond the wildest dreams of the computer programmers.

    Now then as for sex and being a quote 'dirty bastard' [img]smile.gif[/img] I want that copy back as I have notes in the margins and rather a few chapters still to work on.

    To induce the dream state for an aroused dream here are a few things to look at if you wish. I have many but they are kept for Soulie eyes only in the private stock.

    a few links that I think are worth the read:

    www.tantra.com/mission/lacroix.html

    http://femaleorgasmsecrets.com/

    I also have rather a few lesbian friends that are well worth talking with as no man knows a woman better than a woman that wants a woman!!

    Happy reading
