Dream a Lucid Dream
Have you ever had a lucid dream? I have. They’re amazing. Even better than my “movie dreams” (that’s what I call my dreams that actually make sense and have rather epic story lines). In case you don’t know what I’m talking about, lucid dreams are dreams in which you are aware that you are dreaming while the dream is in progress. In lucid dreams, it is often possible to exert conscious control over the dream characters and environment, as well as to perform otherwise physically impossible feats. Personally, my favourite thing to do in a lucid dream is fly, but I don’t limit myself to that. I mean, it’s a dream… by its very nature it should be limitless.
But I haven’t been having as many lucid dreams lately as I used to. I think it might be partly to do with the medication that I need to take to help me sleep these days. I’m not as in touch with my dreams as I used to be and I feel like it’s sapping my creativity. So, although I haven’t tried it yet, I am intrigued by this site that says it can help me rediscover lucid dreaming. The site’s author says that, over the years, he tried all the lucid dreaming tools out there. Some of them worked, some of them didn’t. So he’s put together the best of what he found with some of his own techniques and created a Lucid Dreaming Kit. And it has a money back guarantee. I’ve gotta admit that I’m tempted…

You call them “movie dreams” too? Holy cow! That’s what I call my insanely convoluted yet fascinating dreams! That’s where being a filmmaker must be a huge bonus. You can take parts of your dreams and actually turn them into shorts. That would be so cool.
Lucid dreaming happens to me occasionally, but I haven’t really tried to cultivate the ability.
Flying in dreams is always wonderful, I wish I could fly more often (and also, drive motor vehicles, such as motorcycles). . Mainly, though, I have an incredibly hard time WALKING in my dreams. I am always walking either very slowly (the “molasses” syndrome) or completely wonky. I wonder what it means. Surely it means something literal about the progress I am making in daily life.
In my dreams, my fashion sense has become amazing. I am generally wearing or shopping for something fabulous. So that makes dreams rather enjoyable!
