   oh what horseshit.    you're lost in your mind with this stuff, give it up.

   so what?    you become lucid when  it happens,  big deal ?

   you're just guessing.   you are not the authority of my dream.   
   you might be an authority on your own dreams but you're coming in   
   here with bully logic that YOU know better--you don't.

   the fact that one becomes lucid is because something has shifted.   
   no shift means same old same crappy dreaming.   business as usual.   
   Lucidity is extremely easy once you're 'in' the right place.   
      
   being up in the air or rising up in the air or flying are the dream signposts   
   that i use over and over.   I know instantly that i am dreaming, the rest is   
   easy.

   baloney,  jesus you're worst than a freudian dipshit with analysis.   
   it's not about you or your opinion.    stop trying to be the dream nagual   
   that can tell other people what their dreams mean.   you should have   
   let go of doing that in 70's.    come to the party nagual boy.

   blah blah blah bullshit.   you sound like a dipshit.

   good shaman?  ha ha ha.   that's a good one.    because you read a series of   
   books from a world-class con artist?   who's still brainwashed?

   dreaming is beyond the intellect doctor boy.    dreaming doesn't always make   
   sense.
