The other night I had the coolest dream experience I have ever had. During the dream I realized it was a dream and became consciously aware "lucid dreaming". That is cool, but in and of itself, not really noteworthy. No, the cool part was the other thing that happened. At the same time I was consciously aware of my dream, I was also consciously aware of my sleeping body. I could feel it, feel the sheets, and I was asleep, dreaming. I wanted to know just how much of this I could experience, just how aware are you when you sleep? So I started to shift my awareness to my body, away from my dream. The dream faded into the background like a TV someone left on, it was there, I could still see it, hear it, feel it, taste it and smell it, but it was in the background, which is pretty cool if you think about it. So I was becoming more and more aware of my body, the things around me, the air, everyone, then my eyes open and I sat straight up pretty quickly.
It was god damn cool. I want to do it again.
