Crazy shit

yea man - that happened to me when i first figured out that i was lucid dreaming (before i knew the word).


I would go to sleep and memorize the room around me, and see like a sock on the floor, and then create a "second point in time" like: "tomorrow i am going to the dentist" --- and "anything b/w me seeing that sock on the floor and the dentist is a dream" ---- I started literally waking up and reproducing the same imagery around me, then would have a dream within a dream ---- YOU ALWAYS REMEMBER "WAKING UP" BUT NOT GOING TO SLEEP -- right?? it's really funny when you have a dream within a dream.... real deep shit though dont wanna make a tl;dr post

but ya, i still aint been to the dentist.

dream on
