Conscious Yume

I've deprived myself of any good night's rest for two days now. Based on how my mind and body is keeping up with how the world moves socially I can say that I'm not used to stressful nights anymore.

Back in high school getting 5 hours of sleep was an absolute blessing every day. I thought that I've naturally trained myself to have a maximum stress endurance but seeing as my body clock has adjusted back to requiring at least 7 hours of sleep since the start of this semester, I suppose the one-night stand skills I acquired in high school have all dispersed into the core of the universe waiting for me to gain enough experience (again) to be able to stay up long hours and still have energy to give a damn the following day.

But there are perks to having short hours of sleep. Actually on my part I only have one. I'm sure I've posted about easy lucid dreaming on this blog. Well since the buildup of stress and lack of sleep mix well together, by the time I lie down and float into the dream world, lucid dreaming becomes an ease. However, I don't think that other people take lucid dreaming the same way I do. Sure lucid dreaming is frightening most of the time, and on some occasions I suddenly wake up all sweaty with a clear picture of the eldritch that made me scuttle from the dream world, it is often times a great source of story elements no matter how bizarre.

My dream last night was about a large cathedral filled with statues of saints. I remember seeing a statue of St. Francis and and Sto. Nino. I also remember that one of my friends present in the dream picked up a large brown scapular implying that Our Lady of Mt. Carmel was also there.
The people in the large cathedral were praying and holding the hands of the statue. The atmosphere wasn't cheerful and everyone seemed to have a grim expression.

Anyway, the place wasn't something that I previously saw both firsthand and in pictures. I wonder if it is possible to take up places from our memory and reconstruct them with other parts of different places creating a new place. At least that's the case on my dream last night. It wasn't frightening but it was very mysterious.
