Dreaming Life

Ever since I started Dreaming Life, I was hesitant to share it with my family and friends. Why? Well… It’s not like I’m writing about the latest mp3 players or posting gag videos.

While he does get into this a bit, occasionally using quantum physics to help makes sense of the experience, unfortunately this [...]

  What is it like to eat “dream food” in a lucid dream? What does dream food taste like? Does it taste better or worse? Would it alleviate any cravings you have for certain foods like chocolate or candy? Here’s a really over-the-top question: Could you go on a dream diet to eat foods you [...]
