I recently re-read Lewis Carroll's Alice in Wonderland and it occured to me that the entire story is like one big lucid dream!!

Alice can will certain changes to happen or characters to appear, and she's quite aware that she's within a dream world. There's a great bit about dreaming in the part where she meets Tweedledum and Tweedledee - where they say that she is just a part of someone elses dream and if she weren't, how would she ever know.

Also - on the nights when I read the book before sleeping, I had longer and more memorably lucid dreams.

Interestingly, the Matrix has many Alice in Wonderland references too. I wonder if Carroll was a serial lucid dreamer!
