Theories on Dreaming

     So recently, I entered Lucid dreaming.  It wasn't exactly new to me, but it was the second version that was weird.  When I entered my dream, everything was normal.  I'd do what somebody in a dream where you could do whatever you want, like play video games that haven't even been created yet.  Now the next part is strange.  I went to sleep in this dream.  Then, I thought I woke up.  But when I looked around, I could control it. Also, the symbols on my clock were weird.  In short, I entered a dream within a dream.  It sounds like the title of an Edgar Allan Poe title, cause it is.  Now, I knew I was dreaming within a dream, but unlike lucid dreaming, I couldn't control anything here.  It wasn't a false awakening, of that I am sure of, because I could move and see things clearly.  But everything else was wrong.  Voices were muffled, Time was distorted, even the temperature felt weird, it was like feeling both hot and cold at the same time yet feeling neither.  Most dream states are hard to remember, but this one vanished completely off my mind.  I don't remember what I exactly did, but I only knew I was dreaming within my dream.  It was like I stood up in the dream, and then I woke up in real life.  This leads me to thinking about some theories on dreaming and the state of the mind.  The first theory is that dreams are more than just our subconscious mind.  If we could control it, we are conscious right? Then that means that we aren't in our subconscious.  The second theory revolves around memories and telepathy.  If I went into another dream state, am I still in my dream? or am I in another person's dream? also, what if I just accessed a memory of mine or maybe a previous dream? Does that mean I can literally look into the past?  These theories only provide questions and not answers.  If anybody reading these has an idea, try sharing them with me.  Maybe we could study more about the human mind with these dreams.

I Lied (extended version)

     Approximately, I haven't been able to make a post every week ever since I started.  It's because I'm being lazy and I couldn't think of anymore stories to write.  This is the problem of being a freelance writer.  If you're lazy, you won't get views, or be able to make money.  Creating ideas from scratch isn't such an easy task because of the fact that other people might sue you for copyright infringement or stealing their intellectual property.  I have had many ideas over time regarding political systems, apocalyptic stories, and simple children's tales.  Most of these already have works so it's pretty hard being original.  To be able to satisfy everyone, I'll just add links (hope so) and comments to works that are relevant to the story I'm making.  The goal of this blog, Once a Week, is to be able to create a new story, a new idea, every week that satisfies a hidden craving a person may have regarding their inner persona.  It also gives them time to think of the hidden stories within the story as a whole.  Every work may vary, but some may be related to another.  This is why I'm revamping the way I write stories, so fans of short stories won't have a problem with reading an exciting tale that takes up only a minute or two of your time.

     Another reason I'm making this post is so that all those who are accidentally redirected here to my blog can help me.  If you just saw this by accident, then please mind reading the next few words.  Try to leave comments or ideas on what kind of story you want.  Would you like an adventure beyond time? Maybe a romantic story; or, for those among us who are tired of the same happy ending, you could ask me to make a story with a tragic ending, or even better, a demented ending.  So just throw some ideas at me if you can, but you won't really get anything in return besides from your story being published.

    Now this is an extended version of the original post form the other blog I made.  If you want some help regarding ideas for some sort of business meeting or school project, try me.  I just might help you.  Why you ask? Because I'm a genius who has too much free time.
