Sorry The Cusp i'm stupid :uhm:
Could u explain the relationship between synchronicity and dreaming in more detail because i don't understand yet.
I will post 2moro on what i think of emotion on dreams and the realworld/dreamworld links and differences.
Fullmetal Alchemist rocks!
That is a cool thing to attemt and i may have a go tonight after i have had ago at the task again which i failed because of recall :P, but when you used the alchemy techniques did you have it sound in your mind, that you were going to clap your hands, place them on the ground, a Transmutation circle would appear and did you know what you were trying to achieve what the outcome of the spell would be? because chucking a few exploding filreballs is pretty brainless but turning a brick floor into a golem or getting it to crack under someone takes a lot more imagination :dreaming:(which is yet another element to dreaming) that i believe is something that grows with time and use like any other skill and is more active on a basic level with youth.
Fully Lucid VS. Semi Lucid
That's quite the inconsistency we have here, in that semi-lucids seem to offer better control than full lucids. Since it's awareness of being in a dream that lends you control, it would be reasonable to assume that the better the awareness, the better the control. That just doesn't seem to be the case.
My only explanation is that we (myself included) are scatter brained victims of the digital age. Technology has conditioned us to the point where we can barely focus on anything for any length of time.
That and our modern culture has no place for the ancient traditions of meditation and disciplines of the mind. The majority of religions have time tested methods and techniques to school and train the mind.
To counteract this seeming lack of control, I would advise some form of meditation of mental training. I'd recommend reading Carlos Castaneda's books, as they deal predominantly with attention. But any type of meditative practice would be sure to help.
