-
- I have had many lucid dreams. Usually they are spontaneous. Nothing
- appears to "tip me off" to the dream either... It's just like all of
- a sudden I "know" I am dreaming... Then the fun begins.
-
- This always leads to the inevitable question, "OK, so this is a dream.
- What do I do now?"
-
- I have often asked people this question in the dayworld. I usually
- get a blank (or leary) stare. Oftentimes the idea of sex comes up.
-
- I have spent (read wasted) so much time in lucid dreams wondering
- what to do... Sometimes it is difficult to remember pre-arranged
- experiments to try. I guess I need to focus.
-
-
- So how about it? If you are dreaming right now (YES YOU!!!),
- what would you do? (Hint: You are now omnipotent and can do
- ANYTHING you desire, anything you can imagine...)
-
-
- What would YOU do NOW?
