It's called lucid dreaming... It's caused by elevated levels of DMT.
I watched a long doc on dreams... Was pretty sweet AND according to a study people can harness the brains ability to manipulate DMT production and influence to a certain degree dreams...
DMT is pretty cool it basically controls out perception of reality, and with elevated levels of it we have a distorted reality and with lowered levels reality seems dull bland and even colours are flattened making people often feel down or depressed... Wild stuff...
...Here's a quickie on DMT. ( from wiki so it's not great... )
Dimethyltryptamine (DMT or N,N-DMT) is a psychedelic compound of the tryptamine family.
Since DMT resembles the basic structure of neurotransmitters, when ingested, DMT is able to cross the human blood-brain-barrier, allowing it to act as a powerful hallucinogenic drug that dramatically affects human consciousness.[3]
Depending on the dose and method of administration, its subjective effects can range from short-lived, milder psychedelic states to powerful immersive experiences; these are often described as a total loss of connection to external reality and an experience of encountering indescribable spiritual/alien beings and realms
Its presence is widespread throughout the plant kingdom.
DMT occurs in trace amounts in mammals, where it functions as a neurotransmitter and putatively as a neuromodulator.
DMT is also produced in humans, however its production and purpose in the brain is yet to be proven or understood.
It is originally derived from the essential amino acid tryptophan and ultimately produced by the enzyme INMT during normal metabolism.
The significance of its widespread natural presence remains undetermined.
Is it normal to have dreams such as this?
