I need to do a few things.

The trash needs to be put out.  A shower, then bath, needs to be taken.  I need to find some paperwork, and get that going.  I'm just not moving quickly.  Bleh.

A while back, foam suggested I consider looking into lucid dreaming.  I suggested that I already do that, pretty much as a grandmaster level.  Still, the notion eventually caused my curiosity to initiate an investigation.  I had thought that lucid dreaming meant dream control.  It doesn't.  It merely means being aware, consciously aware, during a dream.  Dream control is another, different, dream possibility.  Still, I am awake in all of my dreams.  Once in a while I won't be, but will 'wake' to what is happening fairly quickly... like dozing in the theater to wake as the reel starts.  As for control, there is little I can't change in a dream.  As I told her, however, I usually don't change the dream... it often ruins the experience.  If there is something very objectionable I simply end the dream.  There are dreams that, while I am aware of what is happening, I cannot change them.  Those dreams seem to be based on hard history, things I have done.  The thing is, some of those things, I am told, did not happen.  I have targeted those for decades, armed with assurances that they aren't real.  As with other dreams of history that I do know happened, however, I cannot change these.

I, before studying today, thought all people did this, at least from time to time.  I am quite surprised to find that few do.  There are even groups out there trying to train people to be aware, just be aware, in dreams.  It seems to be rather rare, especially for every dream (that I remember), to know it is a dream.  I am guessing it may be as rare to have control in dreams.  The two are not necessarily inclusive.  Meaning, you don't have to be aware to exert control, and you might not exert control even if you are aware.  Doing both, in any dream, is probably... rather rarer?  The only thing I have done is attempted to dream about a specific idea.  I hadn't, until recently, had chain dreams.  I am actually told that is impossible, but from having just done it, for myself, I know it is not just possible but doable.  I even know how to increase the likelihood of creating it, but that is uncomfortable.  It takes sleep deprivation, and attempts at waking during the dream cycle.  Since I can't know when I will be dreaming, and don't care much for sleep deprivation, it only happens by accident.  I'll keep it that way, and as rare as possible.  Plus, I can never remember those dreams very long after waking.

I honestly don't know very much about dreams.  I doubt the symbolism often given to events or specific items.  I don't believe that time, in dreams, is the same as it is in real life because I have lived nearly full lives in dreams, many times.  Not possible that the time correlates.  Still, most things about dreaming is simply not known.  I am almost positive, that dreaming varies from one to another.  I don't even believe each dream, for each individual, is exactly the same.  Some of my dreams are about a, or my future.  Some are about the past.  Some are reality based, or directly a reliving of a memory.  I have solved real-world problems in dreams, with varying success.  I have received, what I believe, are messages from God in them.  I have even gone to places I have never been, a few times, and then been able to locate those places, down to the streets and businesses, after waking.  Not sure dreams are... quite what scientists want to think.  Or that people are just animals.  Scare a scientist and he will jump and hide behind "science".  Low social-sexual, the herd mentality, and some other things lead them that way.  Shouldn't hate them for their limits.  Like women, even if they see it themselves, if the fear is great enough, they can even, literally, forget.

As to anyone believing, I guess that is your choice.  Perhaps, if you, and everyone you know, fails to do something, you consider it impossible.  However, I remind, there are unique... people... among you.  I would even say they aren't quite as unique as it might seem, but that is for another time.  How many of you can benchpress two and an half times your body weight? solve even a minor calculus problem, let alone develop program to function a complicated mathematical procedure? or write a sonata? or any of a thousand things you know are, or have been, done?  If nothing else, being right after Easter, should you be Christian, you know what He did.  The simplest seems beyond any of us, water to wine, walking on water.  Believe or not.

Well... best get the trash out.  I missed tearing down boxes, and getting those into recycling... probably.  Hmm... maybe not.  Might give that a whirl first, then get to trash.  Later.
