Lucidity iOS App by Curtis Development
I had my first lucid dreaming experience when I was about 9 years old.
Waking up, I never really thought much of it. I almost thought it was a memory of mine and that it was real life.
It was such an odd experience that I didn’t end up remembering until many years later.
I had no idea there was an actual knowledge base on the phenomenon that I had experienced. I sat down one day and started searching for things about dreaming and the like and stumbled upon the gigantic community of lucid dreaming! I became a member of about every community lucid dreaming forum that I could - and very actively participated in them.
I ended up learning so much from these sites that I got to the point where I could help others with their lucid dreaming careers. There is so much information online about lucid dreaming, that while I was helping people, I would still be learning new things every day and discovering new things to try in the dream world.
I got in the habit of recording my dreams every morning in my dream journal - and that is really where my lucid dreaming “career” really shot off.
I discovered how easily lucid dreams started to occur at night for me - and every morning I’d be even more excited to have a lucid dream the next night. I started off in lucid dreams with the simple beginner things; flying, jumping really high, running with super speed, etc.
After getting so interested in learning about the dream world and just lucid dreams themselves, I decided to put together an app.
An app called Lucidity with all the questions and answers, technique guides and features that I know I would’ve used when I was a beginner lucid dreamer.
Hopefully lucid dreamers of all experiences will value the work that I put into this app and it will help them on the way to mastering their lucid dream careers!

Seeing faces? How pareidolia can influence your lucid dreams
Have you ever seen a tiger in the clouds? How about Jesus in the gnarled bark of a tree - or Richard Dawkins in a coffee stain? This peculiar quirk of human psychology goes by the rather lovely sounding name of Pareidolia (say: pah-ray-doh-lee-a). Many great scientists have pondered the origins of this trait. The simplest explanation is an evolutionary one: being able to detect predatory faces and figures amid background noise gives you a greater chance of surivival.
How to create dream characters
Members of our lucid dream forum have been asking how to create dream characters in lucid dreams. The most common problem is having characters who look nothing like they should. Or they seem disinterested in your company. Or they fail to show up on command altogether. So, how to combat this? It's a matter of finding creative solutions that bypass logical expectations.
How to remember your dreams
To lucid dream, I recommend being able to remember at least one vivid dream per night. That will boost your self awareness in dreams (making lucidity more likely) and also means you can actually remember your lucid dreams. Which is nice. Here are four detailed tips on how to remember your dreams more frequently. And if you don't think you dream at all - trust me, you almost certainly do. It takes an extraordinarily rare sleep disorder to deprive someone of dream sleep.
5 reasons lucid dreaming is better than virtual reality
Virtual reality is upon us. Shipping of the Oculus Rift began in April 2016. Vive launched in June. And Playstation VR breaks loose in October. These mind-expanding technologies are bringing interactive virtual worlds to gamers everywhere. But did you know that you already possess a far superior form of biological virtual reality? It stretches all the way back to before the discovery of fire. To the the dawn of our species.
What's it like to be a natural lucid dreamer?
Chloe is a natural lucid dreamer. That's to say that all of her dreams are conscious (lucid), highly realistic and incredibly vivid. She can remember these dreams as far back as being a toddler. That level of mindfulness we regular folk strive to achieve in our dreams is always present in her nightly escapades. Her dreams, by default, are highly intense, profound and acutely self aware.
How to have amazing lucid dreams
Experts agree that everyone is capable of having lucid dreams. Dreaming itself is a normal function of the mind. We all dream every night, even if we don't remember. And we all achieve conscious awareness while awake every single day. So what does it mean to combine these states? Why, the amazing ability to have conscious - or lucid - dreams. Sounds simple, doesn't it? So why do I keep hearing from people who say they can't achieve their first lucid dream?
