Am I Awake?

So thats the question one apparently got to ask oneself all the time. Well if I did that I could potentially be increasing my productivity but I could also be ruining one of my favorite routines of day dreaming. Before you become all judgmental, here's what some random site has to say about day dreaming:
"While daydreaming has long been derided as a lazy, non-productive pastime, daydreaming can be constructive in some contexts. There are numerous examples of people in creative or artistic careers, such as composers, novelists, and filmmakers, developing new ideas through daydreaming. Similarly, research scientists, mathematicians, and physicists have developed new ideas by daydreaming about their subject areas."
Who am I kidding? I know I don't day dream about my subject! Anyways, moving on...
So came across this interesting concept called "Lucid dreaming" today. Its when the person is aware that he/she is dreaming. Seems counter intuitive but apparently has got some advantages and you can actually 'learn' how to lucid dream. I think its a useful skill to develop for most of the times my dreams are too close to reality (missing deadlines, not being able to wake up on time for examinations and the like) and they scare the shit out me.

Too tired.
