Dr. Denholm Adventure-Heart

And like you can hear, you can smell, you can even taste.

You know, I've had lucid dreams where I've just gone to a banquet and just tried all the different foods on the table.

I could also have superpowers and go on epic missions into outer space.

And it was just this like playground in your own mind.

When it was at its worst, it was so limiting that it was, you know, it was very difficult and painful to even take the bins out at night.

I could do anything.

Not only could I get up and run and explore and go to new worlds and whatever my imagination could conjure, it actually really helped my quality of life because it gave me something to be excited about.

Yeah, and then try to inhale with your lips closed.

And it doesn't work, right?

It almost always will feel different.

You can feel this sense of closed lips, but at the same time, you can feel the air just entering your lungs and breathing in through your mouth at the same time.

Really?

Yeah, it's really bizarre.

And so it's almost like trying to prime yourself to accidentally discover that you're dreaming.

You realize, ah, I'm in a dream.

That's the moment of lucidity.

Oh, geez.

I went pretty overboard with it.

I probably was doing it hundreds of times a day at some of those periods.

Super frustrating.
