THOUGHTS ON LUCID DREAMING

What is the music on Lucid Dreaming all about? 

The music on this project is not about lucid dreaming in the usual context.  In a lucid dream, the dreamer “wakes up within the dream” and realizes that they are dreaming.  Some people learn and cultivate this practice so that they can learn to manipulate “reality” in their dream state, actively learning a skill making themselves become self-aware while they are dreaming.  Countless seminars, conferences as well as scads of music are for the many people who may pursue this as an avocation or even a path of life. 

I’m speaking about something else. 

Lucid Dreaming is about realizing that this life is a dream compared to the "waking life" (real life) that we will experience as our reality after we die. (Psalm 17:15) It means that after we die, we will "awake" to true reality and see this life as a dream.  I think there is a lot of good theology in the nursery rhyme "Row Row Row Your Boat”! 

What the music represents are harmonic musical meditations on passages from the Word of God.  Radiating in the Word, the music is designed to elicit an emotional and inspirational awareness of the subject as stated in the title of the song.  The title, along with its corresponding scripture, is extremely important to the nature of the piece.

As believers in Jesus, we live in two places at once. (Ephesians 2:6).  We live both here on earth (our consciousness) and in the heavenlies (the unseen realm of which we are already there but do not realize it).  It is this “zone” the music attempts to track to, in order to lift the listener from ordinary perception to extraordinary perception as it relates to personal devotion and intercessory prayer.  Lucid Dreaming is, quite simply, prayer music.
