Lucid Dreaming

Sometimes in the middle of a dream you might realize hey this is a dream! When that happens you can often take control and do anything you want, like flying or visiting the moon. It is like being the director of your own movie while you are also the main star. It takes practice to wake up inside your mind like that. It shows how powerful and creative your imagination really is.

Being the director of your own movie while you are also the main star. You are asleep. Your body is paralyzed. Your eyes are closed. And you are aware. You know you are dreaming. And because you know, you can choose. You can fly. You can breathe underwater. You can visit the dead. You can practice a skill. You can face a fear. The rules of physics do not apply because physics is a waking-world contract and you just stepped outside the contract. Lucid dreaming is proof that awareness is not dependent on the body. That the observer can exist in a world the observer created. This is the closest thing to being God that a human being can experience. And it happens in bed.

Lucid dreaming: a hybrid consciousness state with REM physiology and waking-like cognition. Increased dorsolateral prefrontal cortex activity enables metacognition during sleep. The closest thing to being God that a human being can experience. And it happens in bed.

SOUND: An echo you can control by shouting: the sound obeying the dreamer.

SMELL: Imagining the smell of a rose and then actually smelling it: the nose following the mind's command.

TASTE: A giant chocolate cake with no calories: the tongue tasting what the mind permitted.

TOUCH: Pushing your hand through a solid wall like water: the rules dissolving at the dreamer's request.

SIGHT: Colors brighter and more beautiful than real life: the eyes seeing at a resolution the waking world cannot match.

BODY: The light tingly feeling of floating off the ground: the body discovering that gravity was optional the whole time.
