...ing hit by a car on the wobbly way home. I am a little drunk, I can feel that now. Have I just experienced a micro dream? Yes, but the memory of what just happened is vivid, it has weight, not like a dream. Maybe it was an alcohol induced hallucination? I don’t feel tired, but maybe it’s my mind’s subtle way of telling me to turn everything off and go to bed? That must be it. But… No, that’s not it!
I decide to try something.

excerpt from To Dream A Nightmare by

the lesson is that life is more important then dreams"
One time, I was the king of England. That was fun. But it was so sad cos I realised that it wasn't true and I woke up. Damnit. I just wish I could stay a little longer!"
I thought either they panic and try to wake up but realise they can't (or that when they do it is a "false awakening" and therefore still a dream), or that they begin to experiment with the degree of power they have, i.e. to what degree they are in control at this point - eventually becoming more powerful...
But I'm open minded..."
It was interesting to see what I could add and take away, like a movie I was constantly editing."
And, to practice realizing that you're dreaming, you can make a habit of doing little tests on yourself in real life. Like flicking the lights on and off to make sure they really work, checking a digital watch, etc. In theory, if it's a habit in life you will be likely to try it when dreaming.
Waking Life was very cool. But why don't you think fantasy and reality should "mix"? I doubt that by practicing lucid dreaming one would somehow ruin one's waking life. Unless it's a person who already doesn't have a good grip on life."
I've done it too, I have great powers in dreams - can beat up anyone lol ;-) and found i can steer then to the point where I want them to go.
I dont know how its done, or how someone could learn to be better at it. a hard thing to hold on to."
Did you see the film Waking Life by Richard Linklater? It's a good starting point for this debate."
What I'm interested in is the potential addiction to a fantasy world this might create as opposed to the harsh reality of an uncontrolable "real" world.
If you become a master at the technique there literally is no limit to what can be done other than imagination...!"
