Waking Dreams and Lucid Dreams

As Christianity took over the Western world after the late Roman period and eventually the fall of Rome, dreaming became seen as something that was evil.

Well, this is a state where the dreamer becomes self-aware in the dream. If you've never seen the film Waking Life, maybe go watch it after listening to this episode. It is artistically beautiful film centered around lucid dreaming and existentialist philosophy.
