but kBillingsley, the conscious mind effects the subconscious, and vise-versa.

in fact, when I get into my Other World at night before I fall asleep, I have dreamed into it....very rarely, but it has happened.

those are the best dreams ever!

it's called "World Building" and it's a type of hobby.

I have made a few, wont go into it, too personal.

"World building" is it? Very nice, I had never heard of such a hobby. The tendency to construct worlds out of one's imagination is not an autistic trait listed in the DSM IV, but I had suspected it to be so, primarily on reports from the video that I originally posted. If you would rather not describe the worlds that you have constructed, Phonic, then that is your right. Thank you for sharing anyway.

My other world is a giant pea patch with all different flowers and one person tent houses that look like giant peas. Sweet Mick Avory twins live in that little world of mine and I see images of that world as I fall asleep. We're called Sweet Peas, because we're sweet people who sleep inside of homes that look like giant peas.
