The Lucid Dreamer

What if I were to tell you that, since the day you were born, you've been missing out on one of the biggest and most incredible gifts in existence?
Now, what if I were to tell you that this gift had been sitting right under your nose this entire time?
This "gift" that I'm talking about isn't supernatural, it isn't religious, it's not cultish, unnatural, or even hard to get.
Ok, instead of just telling you what it's called, I'm going to give you an example of it in action:

You go to bed and begin a normal night of dreamingYou start having a dream about a drug crazed bovine slaughtering hundreds of people with a chain-sawAfter running away for a few seconds, you stop and think: "WTF? cows can't use chain-saws..."Thats when it hits you. You're dreaming right now... none of this is really happening. Everything you're seeing and feeling right now is fake -- made up by your mind.
The best part about this realization? You can do anything now that you know you're dreaming.You jump into the air and fly to Las Vegas.

What I just described is possible. In fact, that little story you just read? That came from a dream I had a few weeks back.
I realized (during a normal nighttime dream) that I couldn't actually be awake. I had to be asleep and in the dreamworld because what I was experiencing was just so unreal.
This is incredible.
The ability to become aware of the fact that you're dreaming, while you're still dreaming.
The implications of this are endless.
Here's a few examples of whats possible:

You could run at the speed of lightfly superman style through the heavenshave sex with a fake representation of any human you've ever desired (your mind makes fake people that can talk, walk, jump, look like they get angry, look like they're happy... pretty much anything a normal person can do, a fake dream version of them can too)

I'll let you think of more...
About character in your dreams (or "Dream characters"->abbreviated="DCs")
It's not like your mind is magic and can read the mind of the person it's creating a copy of. The dream characters are based off of your knowledge of the person being mimicked...
So basically, if you think Sarah's gonna be a freak in the bed in real life, she will be in your dream.
Enough talk of sex.
--The possibilities are endless--
I've been doing this for about three years. Here's some crazy ass shit that I've personally done (I swear on the lives of everyone I've ever known that I'm not BSing you. This is the real deal), I've:

Flown superman style for miles and milesSwam into a watery abyss (and breathed the water in like it was oxygen)Ate a thermostatShot flames from my fingertipsWalked on waterWalked around a version of my old highschool totally nude (oh the looks I got on that one!)Walked through solid objectsJumped over a two story buildingTeleported to a tropical beach where the waves were all over 30 feet highRode those wavesStood motionless in the center of a thousand square miles of calmly swaying grasslandBecame a gerbilMoved my perception of the world out of my body (turned into a ghost basically)Stopped time

I could go on for pages with the amazing stuff that I've done in my lucid dreams (thats the term used to describe these types of dreams, "Lucid Dreams").
Ok, just to make sure you understand:
*Lucid dreams are not remembered like normal dreams are (you know how you forget normal dreams after a few hours? well the "lucid" ones are just like memories from when you're awake.)
*A lucid dream isn't like a normal dream at all. Basically what it is, is you "wake up" (your mind snaps out of the stupidity it's normally in when you're dreaming), but your body stays asleep.
Since your mind can't control your body (because it's asleep), it instead controls your so called "dream body". Your dream body is exactly like your real body in every way, it feels the same, looks the same, and smells the same too (unless you consciously say that you don't want it to look the same or something)
*Anyone can learn to lucid dream. Admittedly it may take a week or more to have one, but it's totally worth it. It's like riding a bike; once you learn, you'll never forget how.
By now I'm sure you're asking yourself how you too can learn to have lucid dreams.
Well, it's simple. Use google! :)
There are tons of great resources out there about this stuff. You have to be careful though, traditionally lucid dreaming has been viewed as magical or supernatural. There are a lot of crazy sites out there talking about 'astral projecting' and stuff.
Anyway, send a pm my way if you get the chance. I'd love to chat about this with some other interested people.
