A few days ago I had my first Lucid Dream ... since than, my mind's gone deep into the Lucid Dreaming Rabbit Hole. I've started asking myself: Is it possible to Manifest a Painting while Dreaming, than create it for real when you Wake up? Sounds Bonkers, but turns out there's proof it can be done :)

This weeks show is a little different, it was supposed to be all about pencils, but at the last minute I decided to talk about something else ... Lucid Dreaming and Art. On 1st February 2018, I had my first full Lucid Dream, where I was able to control the dream ... it was incredible, the only way to describe it, is it felt more real than real.

Ever since, I've been researching all I can about lucid dreaming and I've come up with a wacky idea that I believe is possible. I believe, you can become lucid in a dream, ask for a painting to manifest itself, than learn how to paint it during your dream, before painting it for real when you wake up.

Sounds mad, but there is evidence of this being possible.

I talk about my lucid dream, and how my experience was so joyful, it woke me up with a wet dream ... eww ... lol I also talk a bit about my early opinions on what is going on in the dream world, as well as how I think this all relates to art. Turns out, Lucid Dreaming isn't something Magical either, it certainly feels like it is, but in fact, just like Art, it's a Skill that can be practiced and Learnt by anyone.

Basically, YOU and I, can LEARN to CONTROL our DREAMS.
