i had an interesting thing happen to me this morning.

i'd sort of woken up, but was drifting in a sort of semi dream thing. i was imagining myself lying in my bed in the house i grew up at. i could sense myself totally in this imaginary environment, but i knew if i were to open my eyes i'd instantly snap back to reality. i was totally 100% aware of what was hapenning, that this was some form of dream, but i could hear the real morning rush hour traffic outside.

if i thought about real life for a second, i would snap back to awareness of my real room, but i could go back to the "dream" state, if i imagined it clearly enough. i later found i could shift my imaginings to anywhere i chose.

it wasn't dreaming as such, it was too visually thin, insubstantial and manufactured, even though it "felt" very convincing. i tried spinning, but i couldn't seem to lose myself in it, to turn it into a LD. nevertheless i had a bit of a play.

i rembered about DV, but couldn't recall this months lucid task, but i did remember the "would you change your sex for a day" thread, and so i had a bit of fun with that concept . that was ahem *interesting* and felt 100% totally realistic (to my best guess obviously)

almost like "full immersion day-dreaming". does this state have an official name?
