Dreaming for the Impossible

Often when thinking about lucid dreaming people think about a different reality that they could participate in. This article is great at explaining the alternate realities people are able to put themselves in and the fun they are able to have by playing with ideas that are impossible.  It also begins to look at another aspect of lucid dreaming I wish to look further into.  How lucid dreaming effects ones creative abilities, and practicing abstract thinking.

    I have always seen this as the allure of lucid dreaming myself. It almost feels like most normal dreams where you are in an alternate reality are wasted because your brain puts you more or less on auto pilot. Then when you wake up (even if it was good dream) there is sometimes a sense of regret that you didn't take advantage of elements of that reality. The most memorable example of this that I have had was a dream in which I remember falling and then bouncing when I hit the ground. This was utilized at several points throughout the dream, but when I woke up I regretted not going to a city and jumping off a sky scrapper, just because I knew that it would have been safe.

    I know that feel bro. This reminded me of The Matrix.
