Lucid Dreams
Last night I dreamt that based on seeing Born Into Brothels that I had decided to go to med school and then join the Peace Corps. I ended up in a Middle Eastern country and ran into some people I knew from college who were already volunteering. They were complaining about the lack of food they were being given and about to slaughter a cow for "fresh grass fed beef." (They made a particular point about the importance of that last part.) As they're doing this they ask me what I was doing when I decided to join the peace corps, and I answered, "You mean what I am doing right now, since this is the future after I've gone to med school?" They nodded in agreement that this is in fact the future, much past the current date of Feb. 2nd 2008. And I answered with details about my current job/friends/life.
I'm wondering if other people are conscious that their dreams are dreams as they proceed through them. Do you know where the time line of your dream falls into real life events? Are you choosing where you're going based on things that happened in your real life?
(In my case, I'd just read a bit
wildelven's journal about cooking food in the peace corps in Suriname...which resulted in my thoughts about those issues.)
