Hi TriAdX,

Welcome to the Astral Pulse forum. Perhaps some of our members can help out. What I can do is give you some links to some dream based websites that may assist you in your project. Here are the links:

Hello,

When I did my internship in College I had to program a biotechnology CD-ROM also in Authorware (version 2 and three)... pretty dry stuff but we (I was the third programmer for this project) made it more appealing to incorporate animation/video and a quiz.

There was also a chapter about ethics concerned with bio and gene technology.

Mind you the target group was/were student who'd become teachers themselves and also aimed at people involved in bio technology.

I think it's good to know who the audience is for this project and then you can work from there.

HTH

regards

Eric

I dont have the URL but there was this site that had like a flash animation flight simulator... it was just a camera flying over a landscape so it looked like your flying over hills. If you could get an animation like that it would help people become lucid because it prepares them for the real dream landscape.

You could also have like a talking wizard (like in word but this one actually speaks) there is already a program like that which is about lucid dreaming. Sorry I dont have the URL for this one either. Its also got a dream journal, place to write dreamsigns, details on dreams, time sleeping, give sound cues while your sleeping, etc.

But yeah theres heaps of info here about how to lucid dream, if not here then try www.veritasonline.net/forums
also try www.lucidity.com they have lots of info there.

But basically to become lucid you have to get into the habit of doing reality checks (look at watch twice and if it changes the 2nd time then you know your dreaming).

Hope this helped.

Hello,

I am a college student taking a Pyschology class and a Computer Based Training class... I asked if i could combine my final project for the classes and i was given a go bye the pysch. teacher... but the CBT teacher is a lil sketchy. He is worried that the program will be too much text... Basically.. in this Program i want to teach someone how to lucid dream... and the other things that come along with it...

I dont know too much my self on this subject but i am learning...

I was hoping for some ideas on how to go about teaching this using a computer program with out making the student just read alot...

i am using a program called Authorware.. i can use text, pictures, sounds, animation, video,  just about anything. Everything i have come across seems to be text based.. and i am seeing that there is not much as far as visual references go... but i am still searching...

i dont want the program to be boring because noone would want to sit through it...

any suggestions will be GREATLY appriciated...
