I woke one night, but inside a dream. It is called lucid dreaming and i decided to collect some empirical evidense about dreaming on general:

1- Electrical equipment changes their outward appearance as you look away, number of buttons and layout changes. Information on digital displays are absurd, numbers change all the time or it looks like klingon on crack.

2- Everything looks as real and believable as here, but it is more colourful somehow, more contrast and the light and shadows do not follow laws of physics. The amount of detail is astonishing, but in changes also a littlebit every time. Confusing but fun.

3-Dream tries to hijack your consciousness all the time back into dreaming, beware of this or you do not stay lucid trought the dream. It feels like you start thinking something and next thing you are following the dream again and acting everything as it would be real.

4-People are weird, you might meet your friends in a dream but they feel like clones or fake images, they do things different way they would do in real life and usually feels sinister... It might be me also.

5- Fly! It is best there is if you are lucid, it is like this: you jump in the air and do not fall, you feel the pull of gravity but you can steer against it. Sometimes this works better and you can get miles high, sometimes you just glide your way trought treetops. Fucking awesome!

(asking anything or getting some information is practically impossible, either way the dream takes different turn and you forget it all or answer mutates into something unrecognisable)

(I asked in a dream from my military superior: How many days i have left of service? Answer: It is a lovely day!)
