      Even though we can consciously influence our ability to have lucids, in the end its all just chemistry. Chemistry dictates awareness.

      Sure fire way to shift blame. Congratulations.
      You merely have to change your point of view slightly, and then that glass will sparkle when it reflects the light.

      I experienced LDs naturally at a young age, and I'm sure my perspective influenced that, but my perspective is also a result of my neurochemistry.

      Certain types of brain damage can actually cause you not to be able to dream at all. No matter what your perspective is you can't change the fact that you are at the mercy of your brain and the drugs inside of it.

      Oh? I don't agree, nor disagree.
      Honestly, I don't know.

      The only perspective is now, and lucidity is now.
      I don't know how to be aware in the future, nor the past.

      Awareness does not seem to diminish for me unless I let it, through sickness or health, and I suppose various other 'perspectives'.
