2,000 Dreams, 700 Days

It’s time to break out the bubbly in honor of my birthday (May 7th) and more importantly in celebration of recording 2,000 dreams in full detail since June 7, 2018! When I started this project in 2018, I was remembering one to dreams per week. PER WEEK. With time, dedication, and patience, I continue to record completed and detailed dream narratives three to four times per night and sometimes upward of seven to nine.

I say this to encourage anyone and everyone interesting in dreaming to just start! Don’t worry about where you are on your journey. I started this project with very little recall and no consistency in my lucidity. Over the last few years, I’ve read the books, I’ve trained and studies, I’ve developed my practice, I am diligent about getting great sleep… and perhaps most importantly… I’ve never given up. You can do the same.

Without further ado, here are some interesting gems about those 2,000 dreams since I started recording them in detail all within my very detailed spreadsheet.
