A couple of weeks ago I pulled an all-nighter with my friend. At about 6 am, we were laying around talking. Suddenly I found myself in India, with my dream vision overlaid on my waking vision. I was able to continue speaking with my friend at this time, but was also quite immersed in my hallucination. This got me thinking, “Is it possible to create a full blown dream while totally conscious?”

The theory is this: It is possible to create a dream of some sorts on command, with enough mental training. This has implications that exceed simply being able to conjure up hallucinations for the sake of entertainment. With this ability one could alter emotional state, increase focus, enter a given mindset, have creative sparks, and do anything else that is possible within a lucid dream.

Each of the abilities I listed has very relevant uses for life in what we call reality. By wielding this power over the brain, one could escape depression, mentally prepare for a test, interview, or performance, write and compose creatively, or get in the zone for a sports competition. These are the things that make such a skill so worthwhile and relevant to waking life.

I have yet to discover a process for achieving this that I can easily share with the community. So far I am only able to do this after staying up for obscene amounts of time approaching 24 hours. This is not healthy and I cannot recommend doing this more than occasionally. I am pushing to achieve fluency in this skill such that I can perform it on command. By then I hope to have a method that can easily be explained to others. My desire is that this will open up your mind to some of the possibilities of lucid dreaming and mental control.

Please post any comments or questions. Collaboration is much appreciated.
