The mere fact of being conscious and lucid within a world manifested by random processes of the brain is both inspirational and hopeful for this world and for ourselves. External content, hidden content, unconscious desires, fragments of experiences from one's journey on this earth all appear and disappear within a purely subjective world (dream world) which can be controlled.

I quote from Waking life: ''The trick is to combine your waking rational abilities with the infinite possibilities of your dreams, because if you can do that, you can do anything!"

This is absolutely valid. Look at it this way:

You find your self in a dream street, at night, by your self in your neighborhood. Some calls out your name from a faraway apartment building on the 10th floor. You somehow believe you can fly up there and reach this person. However your mental thought process is not a simple one. In order to fly, you must try to take into consideration certain physical laws that must be dependent on your body such as how do get off the floor, how do you fight the gravity, how must you initiate your bodily lift off from the ground?. These questions and concern happen extremely fast, but in my dream flying experiences I have to flex calves and depending on the flexing intensity, I begin to levitate.

In a sense, we can look at it as freeing the mind like the Matrix stated.

It is important to dream.

It is important to talk about it amongst artists, psychologists, philosophers and people in general. However it must be discussed from an experiential perspective and how it affects our perception and what we think of our waking life. ]]>
