It was then that I realized that the subconsious mind that is creating THAT world can EASILY create this world I am in right now if it wanted to without any effort on my consious part.
Trippy. Really makes you wonder how much of what we experience is real compared to the electric impulses we perceive filtered through the mind.

Heh heh I can think of obvious uses for this one

But I've heard that in your dream state you don't think in the same way, someone I know who does lucid dreaming told me that in his dream state his physical wants fall away. Is that true in your own experience too?

This is definitely very interesting, I just started writing out my dreams in a dream journal to help me take the first step towards becoming a lucid dreamer.
