NYT article on lucid dreaming

I didn't know about lucid dreaming until 1998, when a coworker told me about them. He loaned me a book on the subject and within two weeks I had my first lucid dream. It's a remarkable thing to wake up and be fully conscious within your own dream, able to bend reality just like Neo in The Matrix.

If you've never had a lucid dream, you can learn to do it. I did, and I showed my daughter how to do it a few years ago. They don't happen very often, for me, but when they do they're remarkable. I can stay buzzed about a lucid dream for days. Just google the term and you're sure to find plenty of good instructional links like this one.

Anyway, here's the NYT link.
