In my alternative dream world (I’ll call it “other world” in reference to Coraline<\/a>), aspects of my real life are represented in a different, but consistent way (eg. my house has a different room layout, and I stayed in an additional rental between this one and the last).<\/p>\n I’ve also formed unique relationships, so there are people I only know in my dreams. I have a different educational background, a different family, a different job… but it’s all familiar and I always seem to know what things are and what I’m supposed to be doing.<\/p>\n The other world has different rules (eg. sometimes I can float rather than walk, and space and time are more maleable). This sometimes helps me realise that I’m dreaming so that I can be more lucid<\/a>.<\/p>\n Does anyone else out there have an “other world”?<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" I thought that I’d post about this in case others have the same experience.
