:51:01
- Yeah.
-So what was going on in your dream?
:51:04
Oh. A lot of people.
A lot of talking.
:51:07
Some of it was kind of absurdist,
like from a strange movie or something.
:51:11
Mostly, it was just people going off
about whatever, really intensely.
:51:14
I woke up wondering, where did
all this stuff come from?
:51:17
- You can control that.
- Do you have
these dreams all the time?
:51:22
Hell, yeah. I'm always
gonna make the best of it.
:51:24
But the trick is, you got to realize
that you're dreaming in the first place.
:51:28
You got to be able
to recognize it.
:51:30
You got to be able to ask yourself,
" Hey, man, is this a dream?"
:51:34
Most people never
ask themselves that...
:51:36
when they're awake or especially
when they're asleep.
:51:39
Seems like everyone's sleepwalking
through their waking state...
:51:42
or wake walking
through their dreams.
:51:44
Either way they're not
gonna get much out of it.
:51:47
The thing that snapped me
into realizing I was dreaming
was, uh-- was my digital clock.
:51:51
I couldn't really read it.
It was like the circuitry
was all screwed up or something.
:51:55
Yeah, that's real common. And small
printed material is pretty tough too.
:51:59
Very unstable.
:52:01
Another good tip-off
is trying to adjust light levels.
:52:04
You can't really do that.
:52:06
If you see a light switch nearby,
turn it on and off and see if it works.
:52:10
That's one of the few things
you can't do in a lucid dream.
:52:12
What the hell.
I can fly around,
:52:14
have an interesting conversation
with Albert Schweitzer.
:52:18
I can explore all these
new dimensions of reality,
:52:21
not to mention I can have any kind
of sex I want, which is way cool.
:52:26
So I can't adjust
light levels. So what?
:52:29
But that's one of the things you do to
test if youre dreaming or not, right?
:52:32
Yeah, like I said, you can totally
train yourself to recognize it.
:52:35
I mean, just hit a light switch
every now and then.
:52:37
If the lights are on
and you can't turn them off,
then most likely youre dreaming.
:52:41
And then you can
get down to business.
:52:44
And believe me,
it's unlimited.
:52:46
- Hey, you know what I've
been working on lately?
- What's that?
:52:49
Oh, man, it's way ambitious,
but I'm getting better at it.
:52:53
You're gonna dig this.
Three-sixty vision, man.
:52:57
I can see in all directions.
Pretty cool, huh?
:52:59
Yeah. Wow.
