I was sent a link to Queensryche - Silent Lucidity

Hush now, don't you cry
Wipe away the teardrop from your eye
You're lying safe in bed
It was all a bad dream
Spinning in your head
Your mind tricked you to feel the pain
Of someone close to you leaving the game of life
So here it is, another chance
Wide awake you face the day
Your dream is over... or has it just begun?

There's a place I like to hide
A doorway that I run through in the night
Relax child, you were there
But only didn't realize it and you were scared
It's a place where you will learn
To face your fears, retrace the years
And ride the whims of your mind
Commanding in another world
Suddenly you hear and see
This magic new dimension

I will be watching over you
I am gonna help you see it through
I will protect you in the night
I am smiling next to you, in Silent Lucidity


[Visualize your dream]
[Record it in the present tense]
[Put it into a permanent form]
[If you persist in your efforts]
[You can achieve dream control]
[Dream control]
[How's that then, better?]
[Hug me]

If you open your mind for me
You won't rely on open eyes to see
The walls you built within
Come tumbling down, and a new world will begin
Living twice at once you learn
You're safe from the pain in the dream domain
A soul set free to fly
A round trip journey in your head
Master of illusion, can you realize
Your dream's alive, you can be the guide but...

I will be watching over you
I am gonna help to see it through
I will protect you in the night
I am smiling next to you....

The whole song is about Lucid Dreaming, the bolded is the fundamentals of becoming lucid (recording your dreams so you recall dreams easily). Was sent this track by my father who I've probably talked to once about this many years ago. I was extremely touched by this but that aside, just thought the lyrics are amazing in regards to being informative about something so obscure.

I need to check them out. This seemed pretty cool.

This is the type of metal thats I like (Iron Maiden too) but I'm not that into the genre. They have some pretty good tracks, other than this one.

Operation: Mindcrime and Empire are great albums. Silent Lucidity is the radio song if they had any, meh. It's not their style.

I'm listening to Operation: Mindcrime and love the concept of it ( modern day musicians feeling the need to make an album full of singular tracks for iTunes instead of a whole cohesive experience like The Wall and Operation: Mindcrime). I dig this.

This song was a pretty huge hit back in the day.  I actually saw Queensryche open for Def Leppard but it was before they had written this song.  It's their 'ballad' I don't think there is anything else in their catalog that sounds like this song.  I love the haunting guitar riff of the song, sends chills down my spine.
