My story about lucid dreaming and lottery numbers

A fun read. I used to do my own lucid dream experiments, but it was very psychologically stressful, so I had to quit. Been thinking about taking it up again, though. I think it’d be neat to hold onto a mobile while you fall asleep so you can phone someone from within your dream.

It’d be nice to think you’re “hacking the universe”, but that’s dangerous thinking—if you’re wrong, you’re dead wrong. Besides, so what if you can’t predict the future? Your brain can make some decent conjectures based on patterns you’ve picked up without really noticing. That and keeping your mind open to opportunity makes you a very “lucky” person. That’s all you really need.
