June Dream Summary

In last month’s dream summary, I mentioned that I was going to pause my typical once-a-month use of Galantamine to work on my progression naturally. Which is still true! But, I have been actively working on a super-important-to-me project (getting a new name for this website, in fact) and I just could not achieve higher levels of lucid clarity to ask my dreams for help. I absolutely loved the idea of having the name of this website project come to me in a dream - one might even say I was a bit obsessed. What a cool story! But, obsession is never a good state to be in. I’d like to say that I over-focused on the task and thus blocked myself from the balance, joy, and lightness so required of quality lucid dreaming (and sleep for that matter) and ultimately blocked my creativity in the process.

In the last week of June, filled with intense desire to produce a creative name for this website with the help of my dreams, I took an 8MG dose of Galantamine on Tuesday night and thus got an end-of-month spike reflected in the data below. Without it, my numbers would have been relatively lower than previous months, given the reduction in Galantamine use. In any case, now as I go into the next three-month quarter (how my dream spreadsheets are organized), I plan to pause use completely for a new set of raw data with the goal of learning more about what activities, practices, and patterns really help me achieve lucidity naturally.

And for those wondering, my dreams gave me two names: “The Cave” in a naturally induced lucid dream which I upped to “The Great Cave” in my potential list and “Still Wind” in a Galantamine induced lucid dream. Neither of them won out.
