I've recently becomed kind interested in lucid dreams, and the practice of acheiving them and I've had some mild success. Here's kinda a cool link to anyone that's interested.
A Course on Consciousness, Introduction
Kinda weird, but cool aspect of lucid dreaming I just encountered. In one of the websites it was listing methods of attaining lucid dreams. One method was, while your awake, to constantly re-assert yourself that your not in a dream.
As crazy as it sounds, I decided to give it a try. Five or six times a day I'd make sure I wasn't dreaming (turn the light switch on and off, because basic devices won't work in a dream... check the time, wait a few seconds, check it again, if it was the same, your not dreaming... etc).
It worked, I was able to realize I was in a dream. I quickly got distracted and the regular dreamin resumed, but I gained some ground.
Cool stuff for a bored college student to try other than binge drinking.
