Waking Life

Cranky had me watch a film titled Waking Life, and I loved it! I actually started watching it two years ago in my Sociology class, but I wasn't into it then (maybe because I was a sophomore... or I was distracted by the hot senior boys in the corner). The film is about a young man who is stuck in a dream that consists of a serious of conversations about human interaction, shared consciousness, lucid dreaming, death, etc. The dream stuff totally freaked me out (dreams are another form of reality, and death is just a dream that you can never wake up from (this was one theory discussed)). It was also said that while lucid in a dream, you have all sorts of knowledge available to you.

Tonight I am going to meditate (sort of) in hopes of achieving lucidity in my dreams. If I discover any life secrets, I will let you know.
