Originally posted by WikipediaA lucid dream, also known as a conscious dream, is a dream in which the person is aware that he or she is dreaming while the dream is in progress. During lucid dreams, it is possible to exert conscious control over the dream characters and environment, as well as to perform otherwise physically impossible feats. Lucid dreams can be extremely real and vivid depending on a person's level of self-awareness during the lucid dream.[1]
A lucid dream can begin in one of two ways. A dream-initiated lucid dream (DILD) starts as a normal dream, and the dreamer eventually concludes that he or she is dreaming, while a wake-initiated lucid dream (WILD) occurs when the dreamer goes from a normal waking state directly into a dream state with no apparent lapse in consciousness.
Lucid dreaming has been researched scientifically, and its existence is well established.[2][3] Scientists such as Allan Hobson, with his neurophysiological approach to dream research, have helped to push the understanding of lucid dreaming into a less speculative realm.
Originally posted by MWSAHAnyone ever had a Ludic Dream about U2?? I've had some lucid dreams in my life, but they were never about U2..would be cool, because you can control yourself in your dream. So jump on stage and sing along with Bono...

Originally posted by thefly07SO I had a weird U2 dream last night, my dreams are always remembered in fragments so I will do my best to piece it together in some coherent fashion
I was watching mtv and an advert for the new U2 album came on, coming November 24 (hmm where'd that date come from?). I thought to myself, "hmm that's weird" So i checked U2.com and there it was. I actually forget the title, but I think it was one word. So mysteriously the record is in my hands and the artwork and pictures look like a rehash of the Joshua Tree, another thing I considered strange, yet accepted. Upon listening it sounded just like Passengers, which made sense since we've read some reports about that, I believe Viva Davidoff was the song playing haha, I even thought to myself, "i've heard this before, this is strange, oh well it's the new album, love it". the even weirder thing was that half of the album had reworked versions of October. I recall listening to Gloria, Rejoice, and With A Shout, they were subtly different, I recall the drum into for Gloria was the same except for the tom-tom use, if that makes sense to non-drummers. I guess that's the gist of it. haha. as i wrote this i realized it's my second "new album" dream, but no need to explain that one, not as interesting haha

Maybe it's all true what you've dreamed. A one word title, comes out on November 24. I'll keep that day free.
