I probably could fly I just never choose to because then I would get bogged down in the details of how cold it would be and how my sense of direction is shit etc etc
I suppose I'm too much of an overthinker to realize my full potential

I don't know how it works for other people, it's possible other people are having super cool amazing blockbuster dreams and I'm just really into tiny joys

FYI I can't really dream about *anything* bc my brain is kinda sludgy, being asleep and all, it's more like my dream self is aware I can affect the trajectory of the dream, sometimes wildly (like "I don't want to be here, I want to be at the beach") but I'm not like, composing Oscar-winning films

Whenever the subject of lucid dreaming comes up people always say "wow that's so cool you can choose to have ANY dream you want!" And sometimes they ask me what kind of stuff I dream about. Now I can say "$200 LoTR Lego sets" 🤓
(Btw men are often very creepy about this so I bring it up less)

That's my favorite bit too. I don't have the same control of my thoughts as I do when I am fully awake but asleep me has good priorities

As far as dream logic goes this one was pretty reasonable 🤷♀️🤣

This is probably not worth posting, but I am a lucid dreamer and therefore have a lot of control over most of my dreams.
So while the initial setup was born from deeper in my subconscious, I actively chose the road trip and everything that followed, which cracks ne up

There are sculptures, paintings, etchings, and more. The tour includes stories of how he acquired some of his favorite pieces. Includes a glass of wine and a nosh.

Ends with a website to his work. I left out the name because it felt too mean to include.

Listing:
Tour for up to two people with local artist ... to see his private art collection and studio. He will open a bottle of Pfeiffer Blue Dot Pinot Noir for the occasion. Yes, there are a few of his own works, but his home displays the works from a multitude of other artists. (1/2)
