Also I've heard of this thing called lucid dreaming that would be really nice now that we're talking about the whole "reality sucks" thing. People say it works but I doubt it. For all of you that don't know you basically gain the ability to become self-aware in your dreams.
Elementary school: Good things will easily be served on a silver platter for you!
Middle school: Just some good things will be served on a silver platter for you, but it may not be that easy.
High school: You have to pass 4 different tests in order to get the silver platter!
College: Here's the silver platter. It's empty. Start digging away in a nearly barren excavation site to put stuff on it.
@Some random guy I had a lucid dream once. It ended seconds after it began, but I was at a playground, and I was self aware and like "holy shit I control this world now". I tried gliding like Bubsy. Surprisingly, it worked. Unfortunately, I woke myself up due to extreme excitement, and I haven't had any lucid dreams since, at least any I can remember. It was a unique experience, to say the least.
I have had lucid dreams before. Most of the time you get extremely excited and wake up, but when you get it working, the extra time given is so amazing. My thing to know if I'm dreaming is pocketing things and seeing if I can pull it out again. Usually I end up waking up because of it, but the times when I can actually do stuff are amazing. I punched Da Trump in his face a few days ago because of it.
I've had quite a few lucid dreams. I had one where I tested my ability to feel pain by hitting my head against a rock. It didn't hurt.
However, as people above me have mentioned, many lucid dreams tend to be very fragile due to excitement. Most of my lucid dreams don't last long because of this.
Accurate. Also, I have never had a lucid dream because the moment I realise I am in my dream I can never stay in it. And that's appearently normal so I guess I will never see Reggie announcing Mother 3 is coming to the west on the jumbo tron. Dangit.
I didn't understand what was so special about lucid dreams for a long time because for the most part I've always been able to lucid dream at will. Basically when I'm dreaming, it feels like watching an exciting and emotional movie because I'm always aware of my real body and my dream body simultaneously. I'll wake myself up if I need to use the bathroom and if the dream is taking and ugly turn I'll "change the channel" so to speak. I rarely remember dreaming, though.
