Memories pitch (Lucid Dreaming)

Lucid Dreaming

This idea came to me after looking into different directors and previous films they had done, which i had not seen before and i came across Christopher Nolan and saw a interview he did for his film inception. He talks about is experience with lucid dreaming and where the idea for the film came from.

This caught my attention very quickly so i decided to investigate into the subject and found that a number of people all over the internet were sharing there own experiences of lucid dreaming and how to do it.

Lucid Dreaming takes place whilst your sleeping and becomes lucid once you are aware that you are inside a dream. It plays a huge role on your subconscious which is when your unaware of the current situation i.e. dreaming. When your dreaming everything you  see and hear around you is a product of yourself i.e Friends, family, favourite foods etc.

I came across this video on youtube which was very helpful in building the concept for my short film and different ideas she spoke about the different stages of Lucid and how to stay inside of the dream once you become aware of it.

Whilst exploring this idea i took down as many notes that could possibly help me bring this idea to life.


Stephen LaBerge's book "Exploring the World of Lucid Dreaming." Was a very interesting read so much so he even managed to get me to start writing down experiences from my dreams, heres a paragraph fhis book whic i thought was very insightful.

'The world of lucid dreams provides a vaster stage than ordinary life for almost anything 
imaginable, from the frivolous to the sublime. You could, if you chose, revel at a saturnalian 
festival, soar to the stars, or travel to mysterious lands. You could join those who are testing 
lucid dreaming as a tool for problem solving, self-healing, and personal growth. Or you could 
explore the implications of teachings from ancient traditions and re-Ports from modern 
psychologists that suggest that lucid dreams can help you find your deepest identity—who you 
really are'.     



This is a brief layout of my story and how i set to go about it.
