When I'm on the AP, I feel like a totally different person with a set of experiences that I am completely unaware of in waking life.

Can anyone relate to or explain any of this?

You bring up a very interesting point that I don't hear on this forum very often.... maybe it only applies to some of us. Perhaps it applies to everyone in different degrees.

When I am in a lucid dream or AP, I often have a completely different agenda than what I try to program into my brain when I am awake. Sometimes the tasks I set myself come to fruition months later... it's like sowing the seeds to bear fruit later.

I believe that many of the barriers between our lucid selves and our unconscious are down during these nightly excursions. It seems like there is a more direct connection between the thought of action and the actual doing of the deed. It's like a deep upwelling of the unconscious. I certainly don't think as much during these experiences...

My night self is certainly not an exact replica of my awake self.

I have also experienced where I felt like I was another entity like a god or demon or some kind of immortal something or other..... and felt like I had some vast knowledge. During those times, I performed actions outside my character (although none were truely disagreeable or immoral). When I woke up, I sometimes retained the feeling of "vast knowledge," but could never remember anything concrete.

Good post,

Matthew
