Lucid dreaming is another great subject that shows the mind can overcome any involuntary input. Some fun facts about all this are that lucid dreaming happens during R.E.M. (as most dreams) and in astral projection, it's mostly at the beginning of your sleep cycle. In lucid dreaming, you can control the surroundings and even characters to a point but in astral projection, you can only control your abilities in that realm. Cool stuff :) Thanks for coming by and have an incredible week.
