    While it does seem an intruiging subject and an interesting read, the fact remains that given the choice, I wouldn't give up 8 hours a day, dreams or no dreams. Time is a precious commodity, and its sad that we spend so little of it doing what we enjoy. That's why I'd like to give up sleep, not because I dread it in any way.

    However, seeing as I don't have that choice, I'll be sure to take a look at Creative Dreaming if I ever get the chance. Thanks for the info.

    All I'm saying is that life is much better when you're able to remember and
    think about your dreams, nevermind control them.

    Here's my day before realizing these things:
    crawl out of bed. get dressed. go to bus stop. sit on bus for 45 minutes.
    classes. lunch. classes. bus. homework. dinner. homework. bed. crawl
    out of bed...and on...

    My day after:
    get up feeling refreshed. get dressed. go to bus stop. sit on bus for 45
    minutes. classes. lunch. classes. bus. homework. dinner. homework. bed.
    magical journey in which I make love to the most beautiful woman I have
    ever seen in my life while flying, travel to Tibet and learn the secret of
    "mental heat," come under siege by a group of pirates and defeat them
    with a goku-like staff...from the original dragon ball...I can make the staff
    extend to any length I want, turn into Auron and have a showdown with
    my enemy in which I realize that while he is not my enemy and truly
    society and the state of the world is the only enemy but I must still
    defeat him and after an AWESOME sword fight I defeat him and walk
    into the distance to die of my wounds, then turn back into myself, turn
    off my PS2 and think "Holy crap that's the best game I've ever played".
    wake up feeling refreshed...and on...........

    (These things are based on actual dreams, the FF one was amazing)

    Optium, I'm interested in your fascination with dreams. I too am fascinated with them, or maybe, fascinated with anything that I find beautiful, which pretty much is anything. I'd like to talk to you about dreams sometime.

    Sleep is good. REM sleep is even better. Dreaming in your REM status keeps you seen. They did a test on cats (sorry Leeza) where they did not allow the cats to achieve REM status every time they slept. This way, they got enough sleep to have energy during the day, but they slowly went insane. By the end of the project the cats were literally tearing each other apart.

    If any of you watched the last Bond movie, the bad guy mentioned it when he went into his dream machine.

    Speaking of REM sleep, REM, the band, kicks ass. Losing my Religion is a freakin' awesome song.

    Aside from that I could live without most all of the stuff Necronopticus said except:
    Hate, Enix, idiots, Taco Bell, BIC pencils/pens, pre-marital sex, piercings, and people who don't play video games.

    1. I wouldn't be half the football fan that I am if I didn't absolutely loathe the Rams.

    2. Enix has some good stuff out there, you're just a Square freak.

    3. Idiots are amusing, enough said.

    4. I'm full!

    5. BIC pencils/pens are what keep me going through the school year.

    6. Pre-marital sex doesn't bother me, it's someone's choice.

    7. Some piercings are hot, like belly button piercings. Ear piercings are so standard, I barely notice.

    8. People who don't play video games either spend their life doing other things, or they actually have a life.

    Sleeping is what I look forward to! And I LOVE remembering my dreams, and I always feel weird when I can't remember them. Like this morning...I couldn't remember ;__;

    I wish I could live without eating. It'd be easier to always feel energetic without eating.

    I'm gonna be a rebel here, and say oxygen. Oxygen being consumed in your body will create Free Radicals, which cause the aging process, as well as cancer (The free radicals mutate DNA, which in turn causes cancer.) So ultimately, assuming metabolism is executed in a different method, an oxygen free life would more or less equate to eternal youth. However, I will concede that this is a highly simplified way of presenting this, too...

    Many thanks Christmas!

    Ironically, all this talk about sleep kept me awake all night theorizing about dreams.
