i reposted this from attaining lucidity since my discussion better sfits this section.

Hi,

1.First, I wanted to discuss about the HD dreaming..
I know that most highly self aware and observing individuals have achieved this already. Making dream environment incredibly realistic. This is done by focusing and observing the surroundings. I've discovered this technique long ago, when I did, it was just 'wow'. I still remember the scene I captured in my dream when I did it. And it's weird cause that scene never existed in reality; it was only my imagination.
The very first time, and the easiest way, was by looking at the palm wrinkles up close. Realize that vision is a sense, if heightening vision is possible, we must be able to heighten other senses, like the touch and sound.
If you are able to stop what you are doing in a lucid dream, like everything and just concentrate on your surroundings, man, you have come pretty far.
Recently, I've been trying to stop everything I was doing (resist against my objective of dream) in dream and just stand still. This was more than amazing to me because I was just so astonished how my brain could produce such visual effect. I gotta say, when the focusing of senses happen, everything appears better than real life (sadly). Even my emotions.. I just doubt that what I felt in dream is practically possible to feel in real life.

2.I've been having some difficulties in my dreaming. I was wondering if anyone could give me a remedy to it. This issue is actually extremely bad. The truth is, while I can lucid dream, I can never really have control over the dream. I am a man of logic. Even when I am dreaming I think my sub consciousness is taking logic into account. What seems irrational is prevented from happening in my dream. My sub consciousness created its own physics to my dream world. I can only hover a few feet or several above the ground. I can't change the terrain, teleport, control the outcome of many things in my dream, and that's not because I am not experienced enough, it's my sub consciousness never allowing me to do fun things. And my sub consciousness is not stupid, it's a smart son of a bitch. It is always ahead of the game, "Oh it's a dream! I will believe that everything is possible in my own dream and I will do it with my strong will" does not work. Whatever I try to do, it just won't let me do it. The only thing I am free of is, pretty much my body. If I fight against my sub consciousness' will to accomplish my goals, I am taken back to the reset, or my bed. Or it makes me wake up. Waking up is not a big deal to me because I can always shift my reality back into dream. And the good news is, I can channel my brain to sleep longer so I can dream longer.
Anyway, it's pretty messed up.

3. The other day, I was thinking about how dreams really work. I don't have any evidence to back this up but my self observation tells me that what dream really is, is just a highly intensified day dream, or thought. For example, imagine in your head that you are in a classroom writing down notes right now. That thought I think is very much of what dream is but dream is more vivid and stronger because you are sleeping. The reason for this is that right when you wake up from the dream, you feel the transition from dream to reality, and if you can notice well enough, the dream really becomes just the thought. Crazy...

I have class tomorrow and I really need some dream, pun intended.

The discussion is To be continued and thanks a lot for reading!
