To gain the skill of controlling your dreams, often referred to as lucid dreaming, some practice is necessary. This adventure begins by familiarizing yourself with the various stages of sleep, especially the REM (rapid eye movement) cycles, while also keeping a dream journal to capture your nocturnal narratives. By grasping the fundamentals of sleep and gradually learning effective techniques, you'll enhance your chances of experiencing vivid and conscious dreams.

Here are some straightforward tips for maintaining a dream journal:

1. As soon as you wake up, take a moment to ask yourself, "What was I dreaming about?" Do this before any other thoughts intrude, as they can easily obscure your dream memories.

2. Try to remain in the same position you woke up in. Moving around can make it harder to recall what you just dreamt.

3. Allow your mind a moment to settle instead of jumping straight into daily concerns. If you struggle to remember your dream initially, give it a few minutes. Often, fragments of your dream will begin to emerge if you resist the urge to focus on anything else.

4. If you're still drawing a blank, consider what thoughts or feelings you had just before waking up. Your emotions can often provide clues that unlock the details of your dream.

5. Hold onto any snippets or hints you can recall and start weaving them into a story. Picture a scene and then ask yourself what came before that, and so on—play the dream in reverse. With practice, you can often reconstruct the full dream from just a small fragment.

6. If you’ve hit a wall, try imagining a dream you might have had. Pay attention to your current feelings and note any worries you have. Then, ask yourself, "Did I dream about this?" Even if you seize just a feeling or atmosphere, write it down. Sometimes, events from your day can trigger memories of last night’s dreams.. stay alert to those connections.

7. Remember, improving your ability to recall dreams takes time and patience. Don’t be disheartened if progress feels slow at first; with regular practice, nearly anyone can enhance their dream recollection. Once you can remember your dreams at least once a night, you’ll be well on your way to exploring the intriguing world of lucid dreaming. It won’t take long to reach this milestone, and many who embark on this journey find themselves experiencing lucid dreams regularly.

Lucid Dreams: Alphamind w/ BrainStorm - Final Remaster

This piece combines "Improvisation for Solo Lyra-8 Synthesizer" and "Drone Painting No.2" with a touch of dialog provided by Espeak, a rather primitive, command line speech synthesis program. I am starting to compile another Phantom Oscillator album for Bandcamp that will probably be called Orphans. As the title hopefully suggests, it will consist of songs recorded over the past two years or so that didn't fit with the mood or aesthetic of whatever album I was working on at the time.  Utopian Death March will be among this eclectic group of orphaned experiments, which will hopefully see a small cassette tape edition like last year's Music for Soldering. Stay tuned! BTW, the quotes spoken by my robot are not my own. The quote at the beginning of the track is by Peter Hitchens and the one at the end is by Bertrand De Jouvenel.

Welcome to the BrainStorm Experience. 

This is where our music has  become our devotion, where story and sound entwine as one living entity. 

Each track is a untold story, until now, carrying fragments of emotion across the threshold between you and something beyond the ordinary. 

Beneath the surface, quiet truths wait to be found, revealed not through words alone, but through feeling. 

We offer notes and timestamps only as constellations to help you navigate, though the meaning is yours to uncover.

What you see is as vital as what you hear. 

The screen before you transforms into a mirror of the music’s soul, a shifting, breathing gallery that reflects tone, motion, and memory. 

Each image pulses with the same essence that lives within the melodies, inviting you to reflect, to drift, to become part of its rhythm.

For the truest experience, we suggest listening through headphones.

They awaken the subtle layers that dwell beneath the surface, where whispered harmonies, faint textures, and unseen details wait to be heard. 

In that space between sound and silence, time begins to dissolve, and the world grows distant.

BrainStorm Operations exists to offer more than sound. It is a refuge, a sanctuary carved from serenity, designed to bring stillness to the mind and warmth to the soul. 

Across more than ten hours of carefully woven music and vision, we extend a hand into the quiet , a moment to simply exist and feel.

If you are here, it's not an accident. Your presence completes the circle. 

Settle into the stillness, surrender to what stirs within, and let the music find you. 

This is where the journey begins.

Warm regards from the flightdeck,

Keith Alban, (and formerly Sven Klitsch)

*Disclaimer*  

I must acknowledge the fantastic source of my artwork: Desktopography - desktopography.net/. I am also a part of three art collectives: Desktopography, depthCORE, and EvokeONE, where I have served as the music director.  

I have been fortunate enough to use their incredible works in this format. The heart of this experience lies in the stunning artwork contributed by the talented artists from all three collectives, lending a unique charm and beauty to the BrainStorm visual treasure.
