I tried lucid dreaming a few times. I think more study should
be done on it -- it's a fascinating effect if you
can get it to work.
However, it messes with your sleep. I ended up feeling like
I hadn't had much rest. Probably missing a sleep stage or two.
I'd have to say the most _real_ dream I ever had was while camping
when I was a teenager. I fell asleep while listening
to my walkman-esque device, and had the music playing in my dream.
Chicago 16. After the album was over, I woke up, and discovered my
headphones weren't even on my head, and the player was off.
This is the section that I heard with perfect symphonic clarity
before I woke up. It must have played from my own serial memory.
