What is Orphyx?

A surreal landscape of floating islands and a giant moon, representing the dreamlike nature of lucid dreaming.
Thomas Cole, The Architect's Dream

Orphyx is the home for lucid dreaming that should have existed years ago. An archive. A library. A community. A practice space. Built in that order, for a reason.

The lucid dreaming community has produced decades of genuine insight - hard-won techniques, honest debate, careful self-experimentation, real disagreement between smart people who cared. Almost all of it has been lost to platform decay, forum shutdowns, and the shift to social media that can't sustain a conversation longer than a day. Orphyx is an attempt to stop the bleeding.

Orphyx is self-funded and will remain free for as long as the work is archival and communal. We think the people who built this community's knowledge deserve to have it preserved without a paywall or a sales funnel attached.

What is the library?

The lucid dreaming community's knowledge deserves a home. The library is our first attempt at building that. Currently the library is split between two parts:

  • The archive, a preservation of the most important lucid dreaming forums in history.
  • The resources, a growing curated collection of the best books, websites, and research on lucid dreaming.

Where to start?

Start at the Library . The home for all the preserved knowledge and resources of the lucid dreaming community.

Within the library, you can find the Archives , where we've preserved tens of thousands of posts from the most important lucid dreaming forums in history.
