Something thats even crazier then lucid dreaming is feeling like your in a dream when you know that your not. That is some weird shit. I also remember like 4 or 5 different dreams a night but i rarely have lucid dreams anymore.

Man, this sounds like some Matrix type stuff

"It's one thing to be aware of the fact that you are in a dream, It's another thing to be aware that you're caught up in various layers of logic that you can stay in or not as you choose."

Stephen Laberge seems like a cool guy, but for some reason I think he has a really creepy stare, at least in this interview. He has this constant thousand mile stare. He's still awesome though, lol.

@vangogh929 whats your definition of "reality"?. its fixing to change really quick. so you corrected a sentence anybody could have made a mistake on, good for u. < just to piss you off.

@ButteryAssAbel maybe you should come over to reality long enough to learn how to use the words "are" and "our"

imagination is are only weapon in this war against reality.

@LaraCroft1994 ever i wanted, for me i would compare it to a 3D computer simulation, say you have a 3D city, i can go forward, backward, whichever way i want, fly through the city and create instantly along the way, i can be me or a different person, when im a different person im still me in a different body, i just see things in a different perspective, basically im totally free, any scenario i want i make happen. unfortunately i wouldnt know how to tell someone how they can do

@LaraCroft1994 it really started for me when i would try to astral project, i would tell myself over and over again before i went to sleep "your body goes to sleep ur mind stays awake" thats a lil mantra i would tell myself. of course astral projecting is a whole different topic, but once i took control of that aspect, i would notice that when i was asleep "not astral projecting" but dreaming i was totally aware of what was going on, i could create what ever i wanted and do what
