My Own Little Movies

The human brain works in weird ways. Especially when it comes to dreaming. There are so many weird options, it's like a natural movie in your head that involves every single person you have met in your life. It involves memories you may not even remember.

It involves motor skills and things you have never learned. I've been skiing in a dream and I can't ski.

It involves random people you haven't thought about in years. In the past two weeks, I've dreamed about two people that I haven't talked to or thought about in over 7 years and 9 years respectively. Makes me wonder what random person I met 4 years ago might have had a dream that I starred in last night.

It lets you relive great experiences. It lets you live out fantasies that you will never approach in reality. I flew outside the atmosphere in a dream and I don't mean in an airplane or a spaceship. I looked at the Earth from so far away it looked like a pea, and then flew back down to it. That one happened to be lucid, which is another issue that is amazing about dreams.

Dreams are like breathing. They work on their own, completely autonomously, except when all of a sudden, you figure out you are dreaming and think "I'm taking the reins now" It's like starring in the movie and then deciding you want to be director and producer as well.
