i think dreams are really fascinating phenomena. and by the way, i'm referring to the type which occur when you're asleep, not when you're awake during some random boring lesson.

i think it's so cool that you can get transported to a whole new world, a different realm, where you can experience a wide-ranging myriad of thoughts, emotions and actions without suffering any possible ill-effects. it's like, for the duration of the dream, you can be someone else, living in a totally different world, doing things you would never ever do in the 'real' world. it's like, you can change your identity!

and guess what. i actually get to learn new words in my dreams! i remember not too long ago, i heard someone saying some #$%^&*(&% word in my dream, and when i wake up and look it up in the dictionary, lo and behold!

of course there are those ridiculous dreams which don't appear to make any sense at all. for instance, i've dreamt about people randomly spamming my blog with some gibberish commments that to this day i can't figure out, and more recently, i dreamt about myself mugging for a chemistry test. now bearing in mind that i left dreaded chemistry behind for good last year, well, i can't figure out just why in the world i'm actually dreaming about CHEMISTRY??!!

oh and there are those dreams which you can actively interact with. apparently these are known as lucid dreams. my word! these are way cool! it's like, you're aware that you're dreaming, but you go on dreaming all the same. and you can interact with the characters and control your actions.

and i recently read somewhere, Mind Your Body i think?? that you can like, train and program your mind to control your dreams, and like, control what you dream about. now how cool is that man...

intriguing... ok people. sweet dreams!
