SHOTGUN DREAMS

Sometimes I believe there can be a rate to to the way your dreams rotate through your brain. The simple [complex] way that your neural pathways fire seems to have some kind of twisted logic that has to do with the individual dream and the supposed "actions" involved. If there are liquid lions and melting binturongs it seems that the dream would move into some kind of more psycho-pseudo-realistic areas faster than say if you were just walking down the street dream-wise. The misunderstood makes you misunderstand? Let's go back to walking down the street. If you are, and all of the sudden a tree falls out of the sky and starts breakdancing, you are more likely to turn around and see something just as fucked. So maybe there's a tendency to enjoy a dream once you come to the conclusion that you're dreaming, but then I have to ask, does this make it a lucid dream? How deeply do you have to understand that a dream is a dream to make it one that you understand that you're in?
