Interview with Dylan Howard on King Of Oneiros

 

What's your personal experience of lucid dreaming?

I've had many experiences of lucid dreams that gave me such a freeing sensation that carried over to waking life. After my first experiences I realized I was connecting with a much larger intelligence that knows everything. With every question or intuition I got an immediate response and surprising communications from characters within dreams.

I could feel the dream breaking apart just as I was at a point filled with such unlimited potential. I did not want to return after gaining so much freedom. I tried to cling to the dream but all became white and I woke in my room the most excited and refreshed in my life, feeling all the intensity of what was shared by a girl I had never met before. This was what my film King Of Oneiros was based on.
