Astralglide,

That was an awesome reply, just what I was hoping to hear. That feat you described definately should be possible, and here's why. A simple, normal dream requires our brain to multi-task in quite a fantastic way. It (the brain) creates an experience for our "self". Simultaneously, our "self" experiences what the brain concocted with total ignorance of the fact the experience was created by the very same brain (unless of course you are lucid). This multi-tasking is evidence of our brain's amazing ability to do parallel processing. Therefore the ability you described is not that much of a stretch. It is still awe-inspiring just due to the imagination and talent required.

I've had a personal experience that also backs up my belief this is possible. Long ago, in college, I had a chemically induced OBE - my first and only. I was telling a story to 2 buddies and had the distinct sensation that my consciousness had split into 2 parts. The original part effortlessly told the story. The second part rose several feet above us and visually observed the 3 of us. That part consciously noted how interesting it was to observe "me" effortlessly tell a story while I simultaneously observed from several feet above!

Lakeypoo,

If you'd like to read about what Robot_Butler said, there are several books that discuss this type of constant reflection. One would be "Tibetan Yoga and Secret Doctrines" by Evans-Wentz.
