“ I’ve had some lucid dreams, some I tried for a number of years ago, most others I didn’t. I find with the more cultivation I do, ie. meditation, qigong other things, my dreams naturally become more vivid and meaningful, so I decided I would let this develop in it’s own way, which has been working out pretty well. One things similar to what you stated is that I’ve started to fall into a dream state while I’m awake, I mean it’s very hard to tell if I’m dreaming or awake sometimes, but it feels quite natural and apart from the fact that I’m occasionally driving when it happens it’s quite pleasurable, I just make sure I continue to obey all the normal rules… it’s sounds dangerous I guess, but it’s really very safe, if I felt I needed to I would pull over : ) More often I experience what are called “dreams of clarity” in Tibetan Buddhism, which has really interested me, the place where the ‘real & dream’ worlds interact, they are not lucid, but share many of the same qualities other than one realizing it to be a dream. In such dreams one may meet teachers and/or divine beings, see the future, find lost objects, travel to different places, many other similar things. If any body is interested they might like to locate a copy of “Opening the Dragon Gate” and turn to page 137, a short chapter on dreaming from the Complete Reality sect of Taoism via the lineage-holder’s biography. Interestingly they speak about how this can be a doorway to bi-location. I remember reading about a Saint from Mt. Athos who was claimed to have visited sick and endangered people without moving from the mountain. He didn’t claim any special ability, he only said he saw a vision in his mind/heart in which he acted out the scenarios which he was later told where actual ‘real life’ events in which he took part. I wonder, this this some form of mental projection similar to entering another’s dreaming mind, only occurring during wakefulness? It’s interesting, I love that this particular Saint didn’t claim anything special and didn’t even know it was for real until he was told, it just happened spontaneously… perhaps this is a little to far of the deep-end ”
