3,000 Dreams Recorded!

3,000 Dreams, 1,048 Nights


It’s time to break out the bubbly in celebration of recording 3,000 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.

And because I love data and stats so much (all tracked through a massive spreadsheet I created), here are some interesting gems about those 3,000 dreams since I started recording them in detail. The duration is June 7, 2018 to April 19th 2021 or 1,048 Nights.
