Interaction with the real world makes dream control tough because, you cannot control the real world while in the dream, rather it controls the dream.

I have several times dreamt of reading, and upon skimming something that seemed important, have tried to go back to look at it again. Usually, originally, this would be a struggle, and I would lose the dream.
But, eventually, I got better at it. I could go to the page, zoom in until I made out the letters. Only they weren't letters. The part of me that dreams doesn't know how to make letters. They were blocky marks representing letters, but containing no actual information.

What's the maximum number of nested dreams you have had? By that I mean you "wake up" as part of the dream, into another dream, and so on.
I think I've gone as far as 3 or 4.

A maximum of 2, and at the 2nd realization I always experience a 'get me out of this thing!' sort of stomping around my virtual room until everything fades. I wouldn't be a good subject for the Matrix.

Dream within a dream. Two layers. Same reaction as Arjiuna when getting to the outer layer, though for a different reason: I get bored.
I've tried using lucid dreaming (I always know when I'm dreaming - reality is simply too constricting for me not to realize that I'm dreaming) to go deeper, just to see what it's like, but it never seems to work out.
The truth is absolute. Life forms are specks of specks (...) of specks of dust in the universe.
Why settle for normal, when you can be so much more? Why settle for something, when you can have everything?

I got this damn schizoaffective bullshit. I have to take Seroquel at night just to avoid the dreams I have. There are states of dreams you can't even fathom with a non-fucked mind.
Do you know how to spot a moron? They use the word "evolutionist"... lol

man, that Inception movie did my head in!
I enjoyed the sci fi aspect of it, but I didn't enjoy it.
I felt like I had to concentrate too much like sitting for an exam ...
And then trying to explain the dream nesting to my wife on the way home! ...oh boy!

I've had lucid dreams since I was really young. It stems from when I would have really terrifying nightmares. My natural reaction was to take control so I could fight and my skills grew from there. Most of my dreams are now lucid and I have a great time! The power to reorganise 'reality' is addictive; imagine being a proper Neo. I often have repetitive dreams too and they're the ones I like changing the most; exploring different choices, adjusting the world for specific effects, making others the protagonist and watching the results... my imagination is the only barrier and I'm lucky that I have quite the imagination. One of my friends once commented that they would love to plug my brain in to a TV so they could see what the hell was going on.

have you ever heard of people that wake themselves up exactly when they want in the morning? I've had several occurrences where I wake up a minute before my alarm goes off. I wonder if that and lucid dreaming are tied together somehow?
CHRISTIANITY: The belief that some cosmic Jewish Zombie can make you live forever if you symbolically eat his flesh and telepathically tell him that you accept him as your master, so he can remove an evil force from your soul that is present in humanity because a rib-woman was convinced by a talking snake to eat from a magical tree.
Makes perfect sense.
Give a man a fish, and you'll feed him for a day; give him a religion, and he'll starve to death while praying for a fish.

I do not think so. IMHO it is basic 'programming'. I do the same thing.
