Make a dream*

I am currently looking for something which can make me dream at night. I searched online and I got these funny results:

-Eat before you go to bed (oh really??)
-Start a dream journal, pay more attentions on your dreams (already doing that and it WORKS!)
-Eat nutmeg as it stimulates brain cells (gonna try that...)
-Do reality checks frequently during the day (need to remind myself to do it more..)
-Sleep without blankets (gonna be cold!)
-Stop taking sleeping pills and smoking weed, as they affect REM sleep, the stage where you will dream when sleeping (not having these)
-Eat more cheese. Cheese contains minerals and amino acids that aid sleep and thus may contribute to REM sleep and dreaming. (oh...will try!)
-Think really hard about what you want to dream about and keep that image in your head before you fall asleep (It should work, but anyway I will try again~)

CHEESEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE

 

 This is a lovely relaxing song..with a romantic story behind..however, the soft tone and fluid melody will probably help you to get in sleep, don't know if it can make you dream though!

"The significance of dreams to my creative process, of which Inception the film explores most clearly, is always freeing of the mind from logic and allowing your brain to make interesting connections between things, elements in your life,"

The scriptwriter/producer/director of Inception, Christopher Nolan spoke on Saturday morning about his writing style and shooting process during the film. And I always want to discover more about the idea of this film....Here are some quotes from Nolan that I wanted to share.

"It is an extraordinary experience. Once you realize you are dreaming, you can attempt to control or change your dream. This is the skill my characters have in the film, something I actually experienced in my dreams."

He added that the message Inception delivers is that dreams are a valid form of reality. He said that the idea of the whole film is that there are things beyond everyday life and the world we exist in might be more complicated than what we see.

From left to right: Christopher Nolan, Ellen Page, Leonardo DiCaprio.

  There are many many things beyond dreams and the reality, as Nolan said, dreams help us to be more creative, and that we should use dreams as an advantage, to do something different; allow our 'dreams' come true! 

Can I actually design something to reveal the 'extraordinary experience'?

Lucid Dreaming lol

Lucid Dreaming is simply knowing that you are dreaming when you are dreaming. You may ask, what’s the big deal? Well, when you know you’re in a dream, you can manipulate the dream — you can do anything you want!

I am currently trying and practicing to experience lucid dreaming, by doing the reality checks and recalling dreams...

Wish me good luck!!!!

Dream Survey!!!!

Tell me about your dreams...

I got interesting answers about dreams!:

"No can't control my dreams. I guess when I worry so much about things then it will come up in my dream."

"I certainly cannot change my dreams, though at times when I'm thinking a particular person or matter too intensely, he/she/it will unconscious enter my subconscious. And at times, things or places or people that appear in my dreams are just purely random. I once dreamed about Power Rangers killing Jesus, so there you go... it's as surreal and random as you can get!"

"sometimes i can control my actions in my dreams. sometimes i am only a spectator. most of the time, i think my dreams relate to what i've been thinking about(i think a lot, about a lot of different things)."

"Could be according to the sub-conscious theory bla bla bla...
I tried to uncover myself my keep concentrating on finding the hidden self, however failed, I felt I could understand myself better if I could take the advantage to control the dream."

And more and more results....

I like the survey. It helped me to discover more about the topic from different people; it is arousing to know their opinions about this personal event.~

Time = Maths

If you can figure out the maths behind time, you can control time.
