Kris from Purgatory My Father died when I was 16. I was 24 when my mother died. I am smiling next to you in Silent Lucidity Jurek, Thom (August 20, 1990). "Queensryche - Empire - Album Review". Allmusic . Retrieved September 18, 2023. Anthony from Sullivan, OhI love this song, but, can anyone find the song "Empire"? Because I can't. Tracy from Eldon, MoI CRY WHEN I HEAR THIS SONG. IT REMINDS ME OF MY DAD WHO DIED 6 YEARS AGO. TODAY IS HIS BIRTHDAY.

Guitarist Chris DeGarmo was inspired to write the song by the 1974 book "Creative Dreaming" by Patricia Garfield, which explained how to tap into one's subconscious to experience a lucid dream.

Christian from Östersund, SwedenThis song was played on the show Supernatural, episode "Heart" and god it fit so good in that ending scene! I fell in love with it instantly :P, and the show became more close to my heart than ever before :).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.” These lines offer practical guidance for lucid dreaming, encouraging the dreamer to consciously engage with their dreams, suggesting a path to self-awareness and personal growth. Queensrÿche’s “Silent Lucidity” is a testament to the profound impact of subconscious exploration and lucid dreaming. This song emerged during a time when band member and primary songwriter, Chris DeGarmo, showed interest in the concept of dreams and their influence on the waking life.

Erlewine, Stephen Thomas. "Queensrÿche | Biography & History". AllMusic . Retrieved February 2, 2021. DeGarmo’s fascination with dream control could have been prompted by the desire to delve into the subconscious, which is a potent source of creativity. For musicians and lyricists, dreams can serve as an inspiration fountain, helping them decode their emotions and experiences into relatable lyrics. Camille from Toronto, OhWhen this song came out, a lot of people found comfort and meaning in it. But I wasn't one of them. For many reasons, I completely misunderstood the song message. First of all, I wasn't sure what lucidity was, and learning it meant dream control was unsettling for me and not comforting. And why does it have to be "silent" which can imply secrecy and mystery (and is not what I want in a dream). I also thought the distorted voice in the middle of the song was scary. I couldn't make out what it was saying and thought a frightening presence was invading someone's dream. The worst part was when the child-like voice says "Hug me." I thought the voice was saying "Help me!" like they were in distress. Another thing, I don't find the idea of someone hovering over me while I sleep to be soothing, whether I'm a child or adult and regardless if it's a loved one who's very much alive and present or has passed and is watching from a spiritual realm. I mean, who's supposed to be controlling the dream: me, a discombobulated voice or some hovering presence over my bed? No thank you. During a recent appearance on "Trunk Nation", Eddie Trunk's show on SiriusXM channel Volume (106), Tate was asked if he ever imagined when "Silent Lucidity" was first written that it would become such a cross-genre hit. He responded: "No. And I doubt anybody does that ever writes a song that becomes very popular. There's no way to predict that; you just write what it is you write."

Melissa from 38606I was suffering from horrible images of horror as a child. Every night, I would lay in bed and see the scariest dark entities walk into my room and stare at me. I was frozen in fear. These didn’t feel like nightmares.. they were real in my mind, because my eyes were open. It still horrifies me, although the logical thing to call it, would be “sleep paralysis.” I was watching MTV when I was 11 or 12 when I saw this video for the first time and became obsessed. This became a powerful lullaby after the prayers didn’t work. I listened to this song every night as I fell asleep. It helped me overcome the horror that had been entering my bedroom for so many years. This song scared away those demons and fear. Former QUEENSRŸCHE singer Geoff Tate says that the band's touching ballad "Silent Lucidity" almost didn't make the band's triple-platinum-certified album "Empire". Brad from St. Louis, MoWell, Amy, from Dallas, TX... I find your comment very annoying considering the fact that everyone else who commented holds this song in a very high regard...including me. This song means a lot of things to a lot of different people, for a lot of different reasons. Obviously it doesn't mean crap to you, so maybe you should take your negative opinions elsewhere.

There’s a place I like to hide / A doorway that I run through in the night,” the song then delves deeper into the realm of dreams, painting a picture of an escape into an alternate reality. The lyrics, “It’s a place where you will learn / To face your fears, retrace the years / And ride the whims of your mind,” encapsulate the transformative power of lucid dreams, where one can confront their fears and traumas and embark on a journey of self-discovery. Tina from Paducah, KyI saw the BUILDING EMPIRES TOUR 3 times in 1991/1992. This song is just the tip of the iceberg on what this band does. It is a SHAME their other songs didn't get radio play. Anyone who missed this tour don't know what they missed!! This song is very deep...It is a truly spiritual song. As with many songs, it can have different meanings to different people, but to me, it is not only about actual dreams, but about a loving presence that is there with you in life as you are dreaming, either literally or figuratively...And that is "watching over you" and "Gonna help you see it through" and "will protect you in the night" (which could be taken too as protecting you through the dark times in your life)...And then...my favorite lyric, "IF you open your mind for me, you won't rely on open eyes to see...." I love this...I love this...I love this... and always will...Silent Lucidity” begins with a comforting whisper, “Hush now, don’t you cry,” suggesting a reassuring presence guiding the listener, or the dreamer, into the world of dreams. The line, “It was all a bad dream spinning in your head,” indicates the start of a lucid dream, where one is aware they are dreaming and can control the dream narrative. Criblez, David J. (November 11, 2016). "Three lead singers take LI solo flights". Newsday . Retrieved June 28, 2021. In retrospect, the song’s creation seems like a turning point for Queensrÿche. “Silent Lucidity” turned out to be a tremendous commercial success, giving them mainstream recognition and reinforcing their artistic identity as a band that didn’t shy away from intricate and profound themes. Chris from Independence, MoThe song is about an adult who is comforting a child who has just lost a loved one. The adult is telling the child that he/she has just had a lucid dream, and was terrified of it. The adult goes on to tell the child to relax and let it happen. He/she does, and the adult asks, "How's that? Better, now?" The lucid dreaming is being taught to the child to help with the grieving process. Greg from Dallas, TxLucid dreaming eh? A favorite passtime of mine. So why does everyone think of dead people when they hear this? A very mellow tune really. The Hellraiser quote breaks it up nicely.
