Beginning five years ago, I visualized so many objectives that I was experiencing Purposeful Dreams. This concept differs, in part, from lucid dreams which tend to be fantasy (though not necessarily). What purposeful dreaming did for me was that I no longer had information loops in my dreams which would wear me out mentally and I would wake up needing proper sleep. I became conscious during my dreams that it was a dream and I decided whether I wanted to continue or to end it.
