I experienced my first spontaneous lucid dreams at the end of the seventies. At that time, there was very little literature on this particular subject, and so for a while I only regarded this phenomenon as a self-healing dream or mystical experience. Then, at the end of the eighties I came across a book by Werner Zurfluh with the title "Sources of the night", in which dreams were recounted and analyzed that closely resembled my own. This book prompted me to devote more attention to my unusual dreams and to deliberately try to evoke lucid dreams. At the end of the nineties years conected me an e-mail friendship - sorry, only in german language - with Werner Zurfluh, and this stimulated our dreams mutually.

In lucid dreams we are conscious of the fact that we are dreaming, although our body is completely relaxed. In lucid dreams we can make free decisions and fulfill our wishes. Before we are able to have lucid dreams, we must put the dream to a reality test. Thus, we ask ourselves several times a day whether the scenery which we see at the moment is real or dreamed. At some point we will ask ourselves the same question when we are dreaming, and we will recognize the scenery as a dream.

The lucid dream opens up undreamt-of possibilities. Many will want to fly or to screw, others to solve an important problem which has pursued them during the day. The dream will give you an answer, and you will be pleasantly inspired for days thereafter.

The moving picture is typical of the course of a lucid dream. In it, there is no physical resistance. Everything is interwoven with everything else. As opposed to commercially produced moving pictures, no contradicting elements conflict with one another or consume each other. This is because in a lucid dream, dreamers are conscious of the possibility that they are dealing with a phenomenal, i.e. possible space that arises from within their own imagination.

I have tried to develop a picture story "The disastrous love-affairs of the Harry Crown"  - sorry, only in german language - dreaming lucid in a stage play with the mime Klaus Lavies. The play was put on the first times in the spring 1992 in the 'Darmstädter' cultural center of the 'Bessunger boys school' and in the 'Rüsselsheimer' municipal theater. Klaus Lavies performed with changing black and white outfits and -silver screens into mine projected, painted pictures.

In the short story it goes the offside of the common cliches experiences at unusual male dreamer, his meetings with the female sex. He attains an unusual view from these meetings frightened at first for him till his weekday. This weekday is stamped by a hard manly view way of the reality. By a female view way till his life the nightmarish meetings finally again and again turn for him into the positive. He experiences unforgettable moments in surreal, cheerful lucid dreams.

In a four-part illustrated essay - sorry, only in german language - I took a closer look at my clear dream experiences as a reflection of the visual arts and my artistic development when I held a lecture in Professor Paul Tholey's class at the University of Frankfurt in February 1992 as part of a slide-show.

I have held my decades of experience with lucid dreams tight in a treatise - sorry, only in german language - on my lucid dream techniques - sorry, only in german language. There I introduced several methods for evoking lucid dreams. There are extensive hyperlinks to other internet sides, which I regard as remarkable in connection with lucid dreams here. In addition, I have arranged an extensive literature list of books, which have stimulated me during my discussion with lucid dream techniques.
