Hello Connie.....
Tibetan Buddhism has a practice known as dream yoga or lucid dreaming-->( it is when one becomes aware within a dream---.that they
are dreaming)........
Ever have that happen....? Your dreaming.....and all of a sudden something doesnt seem
right.......and you realize you are dreaming.........?
The Oneironauts at Stanford University(who are to sleep... as astronauts
are to space).... Have turned lucid dreaming into somewhat of a science..........
When one can master *lucid dreaming*.......
He can awaken within a dream....and take control...... change the dream as it unfolds.......
It is said to be a cure for nightmares,a vehicle for emotional and physical healing......and a method of seeking advice from the gods and
other realms......... Heres a link.....in case your still curious........

AND NOW FOR SOMETHING COMPLETELY DIFFERENT...
In a dream Nasrudin saw himself being counted out coins. When there were nine silver pieces in his hand, the invisible donor stopped giving
them. Nasrudin shouted, "I must have ten!" so loudly that he woke himself up. Finding that all the money had disappeared he closed his eyes again and murmured,
"All right, then, give them back--I'll take the nine."
Nasrudin is a mirror in which you see yourself. Want to see more?
