I wonder if there is some published treatise on how to teach children to

lucid dream?

BTW, we're not all that common. Most people can't do this.

I wonder if ASD parents are more likely to be able to do this sort of thing.

I have always been able to do this. Still dream all night long. I have been

told that we are not supposed to dream all night. We are supposed to go into

deep sleep where we do not dream. I don't seem to ever get there! MOst

mornings I feel like I have been busy all night long!

Wow. You're in a mental state it takes people years of meditation to

develop.

BTW, you are going into deep sleep, you are just not losing consciousness

like most people. Most people don't sense the time passing like we do. Your

brainwaves would actually show that. Increased Gamma and Theta. Did you read

the article I posted from Science News (article from SN on organizing brain

activity)? It's about gamma waves, and that's what got me excited about

possible applications for autism and other brain disorders. These are waves

that are indicated by increased mental organization and compassion, amongst

other things.

I think I'm going to do one of those silly Yahoo surveys. Stay tuned.

Liz, Michele and All

There are many treatises on teaching adults (including Carlo Castenada's work)

that can be adapted...We could do this at our next ASD Gathering, which might be

much longer...

,

As I'm sure you know, it is unusual for people to have more than about six dream

segments during a night (as measured by REM)--yet some people do. In my

experience, those who do more often appear in other people's dreams, so in a

sense they are " busy. " On a few (rare) occasions, I have awakened feeling tired

and then have someone tell me they had a dream about me the night before.

Have you had any experiences of this type?

Both Fred Alan Wolf and Castenada talk about this phenomena in their books: " The

Dreaming Universe " and " The Art of Dreaming " --both wonderful explorations of

dreaming and amazingly similar, although FAW's approach is from quantum physics

and CC's from the " Sorcerer's Way. "

this is interesting.I often did not see my fosterfather for years at a time but

would sometimes dream about him.once after I was grown up with a child and asked

him if he was not worried about me sometimes he said no I always know where you

are and how you are I watch over you

Funny-- I consider myself on the spectrum, but I never, never, never remember

my dreams, which I believe is indicative of an increased need for B6. I

thought all of you would have the same problem.
