As an aside, when I'm dreaming and become aware of the possibility that I'm dreaming, I jump up to make sure, trying to increase my 'hang time'. If I stay in the air longer than I should, I know I'm dreaming.
As another aside, I often have dreams where I demonstrate paranormal abilities and think something like, 'huh, I guess I was wrong about there being no such thing as psychokinesis'.
Ok, but there's such a thing as a false awakening. You wake up, everything seems normal, you start thinking about your dream or do other stuff only to realise at one point that you're still dreaming, or to actually wake up from that.
So you're familiar with lucid dreaming? You can apply certain techniques to both prolong these dreams, have better recall of them, more awareness while you're dreaming, and so on, you know?
My unintentional lucid dreaming seems to have diminished considerably now that I'm off the Clonadine; though I've always tended to have vivid dreams that I can remember when I wake up.
I'm not anti-Christian. I'm anti-stupid.
