In my dreams, I recognize that a lot of the capabilities are mental. I dont however always come to the conclusion that its a dream. I have before, recent ones involved me waking up and trying so hard to go back but failing. So for an example: Ill be taking batting practice in baseball. I would only be able to hit the fence, but while doing so I conciously (i think) know I could will the ball over the fence ... yet at the same time I cant. Another example: Ill be swimming in a race, and ill only stay in the lead by a little bit. At the same time I say to myself 'I could just dust her if I wanted to'...yet I stay in the lead only by comparison. *

as a note: my real life swimming + batting capabilities arent as close to as good as in my dream. i THINK im aware that hitting the fence is unrealisitic anyway so i might as well just go all out.

so my question is... is that just me THINKING im conscience of the capaiblites (and im observing like a movie) or am I really somewhat conscience.
Welcome to the forum, jayce!
Yeah in a way, you could be thinking you're conscious, but if by chance, you do come to the conclusion you are dreaming, you will become conscious in the dream!!
