Recently, I have been experimenting with an idea I call "transthought." In a nutshell, I believe it may be possible for someone to decide what they dream BEFORE they fall asleep by focussing their pre-sleep thoughts on what they wish to dream about. To that end, I have tried to think about specific things while in bed at night in hopes of having dreams about them. Last night, I imagined myself in a simulator room (similar to the holodeck on "Star Trek: the Next Generation") fighting and defeating various simulated foes (monsters, evil robots, well-dressed guys with guns, etc) using superhuman abilities. Well, the dream I had wasn't quite what I was shooting for, but it did show signs that I had at least contributed to its content by what I was thinking about:
In my dream, I was in a utility vehicle (or maybe a multidoor jeep) with some other people. We were in a room like a garage, but there were guns wired to motion-sensors all around the walls of the room. Whenever someone moved, the nearest gun would swivel and start shooting at them. Like the others, I tried to be as motionless as possible, occasionally ducking for cover behind the vehicle door I was next to. Finally, I decided we couldn't keep this up forever, so I took action. I used a chunk of metal that had come loose from the vehicle (due to the guns shooting at it) to deflect shots back at the guns. This enabled me to knock out most of the guns on my side of the vehicle. I moved away from the vehicle and deflected more bullets with the metal chunk. The others saw what I was doing and followed my lead. The last gun I took out myself by jumping up underneath it and tearing out the cable and sensor that ran from the gun into the wall of the room. Someone in our group accused me of having powers or something. I responded, "Really? The only way I could have powers was if this was a dream. If this was a dream, then I could fly." I concentrated and flew up into the air. "Huh," I said (a bit sarcastically), "I CAN fly. This must be a dream, which would make me the dreamer, and you part of that dream. See ya!" And I flew away......
