Let me take you to another dimension, a dream world, my dream. I will advise you to buckle your seat belt, and try not to get lost, it could be a bumpy ride with sudden twists, turns and steep drops.
It all starts when I close my eyes. I do dream like everyone else, but its content is different. I, for a start, often know I am dreaming. The realisation comes when I do something that breaks the laws of the physical world. Once I get the "Oh!-this is a dream" moment, I stay in the dream and start running it myself, controlling the narrative and exploring possibilities.

What is most fascinating is that these dreams are often bound by reality, the laws of nature, and the limits of my understanding and perceptions. What I mean here is that I can't just fly in my dreams simply because I am not a bird, I can't just be rich because I want to, I can only use the money I worked for and if I am enjoying a holiday in the Caribbean, I will have to pay all expenses. It is that realistic.

I really hope I am not sounding weird yet, because I still have a few lines to write, and in case you are wondering. I did check it online and I was made to understand that I am not alone. It is called lucid dreaming, a state where you are sleeping with your consciousness still awake, and the ability to script the narrative of your dream according to your wish.
Lucid dreaming is naturally experienced by a small percentage of people, but for those who are not naturally gifted, it's possible to induce it.

I remember one day I was troubleshooting a client's computer and tried various solutions with no success. That night in my dream, I went through the process again and had a eureka moment when I found its solution. Should I tell you that I tried it the next day at work and could not tell my boss how I got the idea without sounding weird?

I wish I could persuade you into believing that these are the dreams that comes true. With all reality checks in place, it creates the perfect laboratory setting to test possibilities, run what-if simulations about the future based on current trends. The level of accuracy is shaped by one's beliefs, realistic expectations, knowledge base, and life's philosophy.

This makes me more like a meteorologist than a prophet. You really don't need any divine assistance to predict that a falling apple will hit the ground due to gravitational forces.
Because you are still active in your sleep, your sleep quality may be affected, but you can still have a good night's rest with lucid dreaming.
I try to keep a dream journal to avoid mixing reality with dream experience.
