(sigh) the girl complains that i am too rough, and cheeky, that a woman must tame my wild ways. and then, i show my soft underbelly, and i am called names! oh why silly little machester gurl, must you taunt me so? i cannot properly spank that ass while you are married! so you must go unpunished!

and bad dreams are just that, bad dreams, they don't mean shit.

Lucid dreaming means dreaming while knowing that you are dreaming. The term was coined by Frederik van Eeden who used the word "lucid" in the sense of mental clarity. Lucidity usually begins in the midst of a dream when the dreamer realizes that the experience is not occurring in physical reality, but is a dream. Often this realization is triggered by the dreamer noticing some impossible or unlikely occurrence in the dream, such as flying or meeting the deceased. Sometimes people become lucid without noticing any particular clue in the dream; they just suddenly realize they are in a dream. A minority of lucid dreams (according to the research of LaBerge and colleagues, about 10 percent) are the result of returning to REM (dreaming) sleep directly from an awakening with unbroken reflective consciousness.
