Take a small electrical current, roughly 1.5 times what is normaly going through the brain, This is how much rougly occures when somthing completly unexpted hits you, IE going home to find you mother and father naked on the couch, Winning a Million Dollers, Falling out of a car, Basicly any sort of oh-shit moment when you get unexpectely suprised
I just read about this (I think it was current issue of skeptic magazine, I'll have to check). There is a guy in Canada who is doing this experiment now. He's zapping parts of the brain with electormagnetic radiation and producing "visions" or a sense of "presence" in his subjects.
I've had two lucid dreams after I first read about them a month ago. On both occasions I simply realized in middle of the dream that "hey, this can't be happening - this is a dream!" Before doing anything, I tested myself to see that this was just a dream by pushing my hand through the wall (one of the ways to test you are dreaming), and it went straight through. It was really amazing feeling. After this I tried two things: flying and sex. You can choose whatever partner you like, the setting... everything!
"Thousands of years ago cats were worshipped as gods. Cats have never forgotten this."
I don't think I've ever been able to do that in a dream. My dreams follow a strange set of rules, like what physics do to the real world. All of my dreams.

Bah! I'll bet my dreams are vastly weirder than yours! Here's one: I was in my kitchen, there's a big hole blasted through one of the walls from a previous dream (told you they follow rules, and even continuity). Through the hole I see in my neighbors backyard two Waffen SS troops standing guard for some reason. I go up to them and try to talk. They get pissed and shoot at me. Forunately, they have the worst aim in the world, so I run back into my kitchen. I think of a way to defeat them...Aha! I'll make my oen Waffen SS troops to kill them! I think up two, and they instantly appear in front of me. I think up weapons for them...One gets a minigun, that's all I remember, I loose them on the offending Nazis and they kill them swiftly. And that's a NORMAL dream for me!

That's nothing compared to my dreams! I once dreamed that I woke up in the morning, only to wake up a second time and THEN wake up for real!!
"Hi there, would you like to have a cookie?"
"No, actually I would HATE to have a cookie, you vapid waste of inedible flesh!"
The problem with my dreams is that they invariably come real or are so real that I have diffculty purging them from my memory when I wake up,as I believe the incident really happened.
One of the reasons why I'm don't trust myself.

Most of my vivid dreams suck. They occur when a project is due or on the night before finals. My brain works overtime on the test or project, and I'm patting myself on the back for the excellent job I did on all that work. Then I wake up and realize it was a dream... "Ah shit!"
