I had this lucid dream last night where I was hooked up to equipment that allowed me to create dreams in real time. Redundant, I know.

The dream I was creating was about a spaceship flying into a field of millions and millions of missiles, trying to dodge through them. Each missile was a different color, to keep track of which bounty hunter shot the missile.

Here's what amazes me. I could actually see each and every one of these missiles. They were all moving like a swarm of bees, and I could focus on thousands of them at a time. They were all different shapes, different sizes, and different colors. I remember thinking at the time, "How the hell am I even able to watch all these flying around at once, let alone be generating it all realtime and aware that I am doing it?"

Sitting here now, I can barely even visualize five different shaped, different colored objects at one time. I can barely hold them in my minds eye while they are not moving. There is no way I could imagine millions of them all on different paths, all moving fast, all at once. Its not like this is something I see everyday, so I can just recall the memory somehow. I actually had to generate it with my conscious willpower in the dream.

How brilliant are our god damn brains?
