Hey I liked that movie too. Counterintuitive but still, this is a great analogy |

So a couple nights ago I decided too watch the original, The Matrix movie, and a small child bending a spoon with his mind, opened my mind too the best way too control things in your dreams. Don't think of it like, it's a dream, so you can do whatever you want, this causes you too fracture lucidity and can cause a much shorter lucid experience. One other working method is too make reason for why you are able too do such things, but it gets hard for me too think up constant reasons as too why I can move the massive boulder with an aluminum fork, as well as making it easy too forget your dreaming. Simply realize, their is no boulder, and their is no fork. So you aren't moving the boulder, your moving your mind in a sense. Lets put it this way, it takes noticeably more brain power too scream in your mind, than simply speak. Try it. Just think normally. Than think screams. Or visualize in your mind doing pushups. It actually takes work too think that at a constant. It's almost like actually doing it. Which is why in dreams it feels so real. The same goes with daydreams, though they are recognizeably easier too control. If you think about being stabbed, you can almost feel yourself actually being stabbed. Though obviously not as strongly because you are fully conscious of the fact you are simply thinking it. Your body, the world around you, and all that fills it in a dream, is not in your mind. It is your mind. |

I like the line when Morpheus says "Do you think that's air you're breathing now?" It is what I think when I am trying to run at fast speeds in my dream. But you are right the mind does always put up some resistance ...i can never freely fly gravityless for long periods of time, probably because 1) I dont know what it really feels like so its hard to invision and 2) because my mind is still somehow expecting me to lose the ability to fly and fall to earth |

Ah yes! That's a good one! I always have trouble running in general in dreams! Which is cool in a way because it makes it easy too realize I'm dreaming, but annoying on the other hand, cuz well, I can't run xD Funny thing is, I only ever flew once in a dream, and I didn't realize until afterwards I was dreaming xD but yeah, a bit of advice, don't concentrate on the fact you don't know how it feels, think more in terms of your expectations of how it will feel. Your expectations influence your dreams much greater than your desires. Which yeah, I have a big problem with expecting something bad too happen xD not much you can do except, expect too expect something stupid, and thusly expect too superceed it. By that I mean, expect your mind too do what your afraid it will, while at the same time expecting yourself too improvise. Thusly you will, or your dream will for you. In theory that is x) I can't say I know this will work, or if it is even a legitament thought xD p |

Hahaha, well I haven't had one in a while, but I end up doing simple stuff like that generally. I can never think of anything too do, I have an unfortunate lack of jmagination. |
