   I, of course, have thought of that as well.  Some times the environment is   
   so real, there are other entities, people there that I interact with   
   consciously, and I go where I please (sometimes the environment changes   
   without my control), just like I would in the 'real' world.  Except that at   
   times I am a lot lighter and can do what I intend to do (if I'm not putting   
   too much thought into *how* to do it).  Sometimes an entity is showing me   
   things that I need to know (I think I know the mystical explanation of this   
   one), but what I'm trying to figure ouy is that is this all in a dream?  am   
   I actually OB going different places?  or is there even any difference (I'm   
   starting to suspect).   
   .

   Please let me know, I'd like to look at all sides of this.
