CurvedSpace Academy of Oneironautics Proposal

Yes. Well, today, me and Nazy discussed dreaming and such quite a bit, and after much discussion, we came to the conclusion that what we really needed was find out more about the nature of dreaming.
And guess how we planned to do it?
WITH YOUR HELP!
Here is what we propose:
You enrol in the Academy of Oneironautics (literally meaning 'the school of dream sailing'. It does not actually have anything to do with sailing, but it sounds pretty, doesn't it?).
As for what we will actually require of you is still to be decided, but it will most probably be to contribute to a big dream log-database-thing (if Cspace can give us a forum or something that would be handy), perhaps you will also be required to do some mental exercises and attempt certain things.
As you can see, it is all quite vague currently (which is only to be expected, considering I only had the idea about half an hour ago), but nevertheless I would still like to hear what your thoughts on the matter are and any expressions of interest and such. Hopefully Nazy or myself will add things in the future too.

And... since lucid dreaming is a rather important factor in all this, it'd be great if any you all could post about whether you have lucid dreams or not, and if so, how frequently, and all that good stuff. ^_^ (Or even just the information that you do, in fact, have lucid dreams would be nice, too. )
By the way, in case you aren't familiar with lucidity... That's when you're dreaming, but you -know- you're dreaming.

I have lucid dreams. Not as much as I used to, but I've had 'em. I usually just kill myself in the dream, since I know that I'll just wake up. I know it sounds horrible, but it works for me.
In recent times I usually dream about people I know, or people I think about. I don't think they last very long.

Well, I almost never remember my dreams unless they leave an impression on me. So the only dreams I could tell you about would mostly be bizarre/disturbing/creepy/etc.
Sorry.
Sorry.

Yay!
._. Do you always immediately have a way to kill yourself in them?

The most bizarre means of killing myself that I can remember was allowing a rhino to charge me down. At first I jumped into some pricker bushes to hide, but then I realized they weren't hurting me at all, so it must've been a dream, and I don't feel like playing games with the rhino at the time, so... yeah.

Not really, just dreams where you're actually sleeping. ^_^
