I would put my hands up in the air and try to Superman fly and it just wouldn’t go anywhere. At first though, for me, I couldn’t even fly. If you can say it, if you can speak it, then yes, you’ll be able to do it. When I say powers, Flying, meeting and people having sex laser eyes, literally, whatever you can think of. I have known many people who are naturals who say, Hey, they have full extensive powers.

You are using a whole new part of your mind in a very new way. It’s very much like the superhero movies, where they get their powers and they gotta learn how to use them. I’ll be able to do whatever I want instantly. I know a lot of people say, Hey, I can’t wait to start lucid dreaming. At first, you’re not going to be amazing ally. But a full lucid dream would be one in which you have full control of that.Īnd you can have powers. A lot of times people think that they lose a dream to just by knowing that they’re dreaming. Lowell: Can you explain what lucid dreaming is?Įric: So a lucid dream is a dream in which, you’re dreaming and you have full control of that dream. Very excited to be here, talking about lucid dreaming, and I’m thinking you have a lot more questions for me. I’m working on my second novel right now called a dream of waking life, which is all about lucid dreaming and insanity and drug use. I’ll let him explain what lucid dreaming is, why it’s so cool, and how to do it.Įric: So I’m the author of a science fiction, novel called points of origin. Also, he’s just a super nice dude that’s become more like a friend than a guest. Fein is an author and expert on lucid dreaming. My name is Lowell Brillante, and this is Prodigy.Į.S. This episode isn’t actually about whether dreams are meaningful or not, I have no idea.

Another recurring one I have occasionally is going back to school and showing up for final exams, but I forgot to go to some of the classes.

It was weird, but probably not.īut what about recurring dreams? They make more sense to me, it feels like a representation of trauma or insecurity trying to break out of my brain. I’ve never placed much importance on dreams.
