This is stupid for a wide variety of reasons, but one of the more interesting ones is that text is notoriously inconsistent in dreams.

A very common "reality check" to see if you're dreaming is to look at a clock or text, look away, and look back. The time/text will nearly always change.

So explain to me how they expect COMPUTER CODE to work?

Well, I guess they'll have to patch that bug first.

I became obsessed with lucid dreaming after seeing the Waking Life movie, around when I started high school, and yeah that's one of the things I used to induce them. Kept a dream journal and had a digital watch that I would always look at, light switches etc. I did have lucid dreams but never got really good at it and eventually just neglected the practice... about when I started having real life sex LOL

Ha funny how that works.

I never got into dream journaling but frequent reality checks and practicing meditation was pretty effective for me. 100% of the time when I wake up from a lucid dream I get bad sleep paralysis where I feel like I'm suffocating, so I kinda fell out of the habit.

i regularly have lucid dreams but i'm only able to turn it into a nightmare by spawning a demon or falling from a roof. and i get a sleep paralysis every single time. this happens about three times almost every night. it's getting pretty lame by now.

Well I never had that... that's disturbing. I'd probably have about a lucid dream per week and it's weird how it lost it's novelty. Same thing happened with DMT for me where I more or less have the same trip every time.
