I had a horrible nightmare again last night. again
Like anything, and for this particular audience, like jiu-jitsu: Once you put the reps in, it gets easier and easier and more options become available to you. We are beings of limitless possibilty due to our self-awareness and ability to learn. Try coupling that with a trip into the universal unconcious and it's truly amazing what are mind/body/spirit symbiosis can produce. Now let me introduce the theory that I happen to be toying with in that Lucid Dreaming at it's advanced levels is a form of self-evolution of the mind allowing us to think more deeply, realize more patterns, basically tap into the subconscious areas of our mind from a conscious state.
And just to tie-in another thread, perhaps the safest place to be during the Apocalypse is closer than we all think...
"Et lux in tenebris lucet" ;)
What a great video - could have done with out knowing about her boyfriends balls - but I still enjoyed the video!Quote:

I might have narcolepsy.
Basically sometimes when I think about stuff I have a momentary hallucination/dream and then I snap out of it and wake up. I always thought it was just day dreaming but my wife has seen me do it and she says that I am physically nodding off, for brief seconds at a time, unaware that I am nodding in and out of consciousness. Where the narcolepsy comes in is that I'm essentially having vivid REM sleep dreams in a matter of seconds.
Lately reading will sometimes put me into a narcoleptic lethargic state and then I can easily meditate into a lucid dream from there. I essentially just stare past the blackness of my closed eyes until I begin noticing shapes in the darkness. The shapes flesh out into random things until they build a scene and once it stabilizes out I can take control of myself in the dream. It's a weird process since if I get excited or focus on a singular object the dream destabilizes and falls apart. I literally have to just stare past everything and let it form until it solidifies, trying my best to ignore everything.
Actually speaking of that, I had never been able to do a backflip before, but recently I had a dream that I was doing backflips and all kinds of twisting shit. What was really weird was that it felt REAL. Like really REAL. and I was swimming in the pool the other day and was suddenly able to do these crazy twisting backflips into the pool, like my body suddenly knew how. And last night I dreamt I did a backflip off a wall and it felt SO real, but I haven't had the balls to try that yet. I also fucked jennifer aniston in that dream and that felt real too lol but thats a different story.Quote:

Seems like all the dream people can tell when you realize your in control of everything. Ive also had dreams a couple years ago where snakes would chase me and it felt like I could feel them biting me or touch and feel things.
What's freaking sweet is if you're having a nightmare, like a really bad one with something or someone trying to kill you, then you go "lucid" mid dream and realize that it's just a dream and you're in your bed and that the thing/person trying to get you is just a figment of your mind. In my dreams where I was running for dear life, I'd go "lucid," turn around, and literally laugh and point at the monster/killer person and mock it. They'd start to supplicate to my dominant behavior and the tone of the dream would go from nightmare to semi-comedy. I get a kick out of lucid dreams.
Such an eye opening movie/animation. Ethan Hawke also has a part in itQuote:
