Anyone here a lucid dreamer on a regular basis?

I'd say I'm getting the hang of it.

Yesterday, I had a dream that the creator of the children's series Pingu decided to kill him off. I think it might have had something to do with the fact that Pepe was recently killed off by his creator. I felt very sad after this dream. I am glad that Pingu is still alive.

I didn't know this. How'd he kill him off? Is there a comic of it?

I'm too lazy to explain right now, sorry.

I'll say this: I am so glad that it is Pepe and not Pingu.

I had a dream last night where I was visited by Zeus and gave me Aphrodite in the form of a cat, then he told me that she will take a human shape only if I learn to love unconditionally. After many attempts in which I offered attention and affection, the cat died of old age and Zeus appeared to tell me that it was „just a prank bro”, the cat was not Aphrodite, but a random cat. After realizing my failure, I asked how can I obtain unconditional love, then he replied by showing his shaved legs which were silky smooth. That feeling made me to suddenly awake.

I'd like to share a dream that I had last night. This was an actual dream. I promise I'm not making this up.

The first thing that I'd like to mention, is that when I notice something very unrealistic in a dream, that should not be possible, then I tend to wake up as a result.

I was sitting in a movie theater, watching Star Wars Episode 9. I don't remember anything that happened in this dream version of the movie. However, I do remember how I felt about it, and how the audience reacted to it.

The movie was terrible. Worse than The Last Jedi. I don't know how that's possible, but that's just how I felt in the dream. Apparently much of the audience did too. They became upset, and started complaining out loud. Arguing. The uproar itself did not bother anyone who was trying to watch, because everyone was fed up with the movie.

As the uproar reached its peak, the movie froze, and was replaced by an error message stating that it had crashed. It looked just like an error message that I'd get from a PS4 game crashing. This is unrealistic. Theater movies do not crash, and then show PS4 error messages. Somehow, I did not wake up from the dream.

I walked out of the theater feeling sullen and resentful. Then I thought to myself, why was I disappointed in the movie? Did I not already learn my lesson from TLJ? That Disney's new trilogy is terrible, and therefore, I should have no expectations for Ep. 9 to begin with?

Then it struck me: why the #%@& did I even go to the theater to see Ep. 9? Had I not already resolved to boycott this garbage? I felt ashamed of myself for once again giving money to Disney, for a grotesque caricature of a Star Wars movie. How could I do this? It couldn't be true. It couldn't be possible.

And it wasn't. Finally I awoke from my slumber: stunned at the bizarre thought of me paying Disney, to see their desperate train-wreck of a conclusion, to their broken mess of a trilogy. No way. Boycott this garbage!

Well, I liked The Last Jedi. I also watched the Star Wars prequels recently and I liked them.

Rogue One is the only good Disney Star Wars movie, although even that one I have a few gripes with. The Force Awakens and Solo: A Star Wars Story suck. The Last Jedi is atrocious. I look forward to not watching episode 9. I hope it bombs.

I am a long-time passionate Star Wars fan, and I dislike the direction that the leadership at Lucasfilms has taken the franchise.

I'd like to see Kathleen Kennedy, Rian Johnson, and J.J. Abrams fired; and permanently expelled from Lucasfilms. I want the continuing Star Wars saga to have creative project directors who actually love & understand Star Wars. People who care about what the fans want, and can make creative new stories, yet still respect the characters and previously established lore of Episodes 1 through 6.

The Last Jedi is an atrocious movie. The Last Jedi:

-Disrespects the original trilogy characters, especially Luke Skywalker.

-Squanders the opportunity to give characters introduced in TFA any real character development.

-Introduces several new, unnecessary, and outright cringeworthy characters who could have been better off not included.

-Defies previously established lore about the Force by making Rey outrageously super-powered (even by Jedi-standards), despite zero training.

-Kills off its only formidable villain (Snoke), leaving us only with General Weasley (who has been made into a joke), and Kylo Dork (a hot-headed 30-year-old teenager who throws temper tantrums).

-Disrespects Gwendoline Christie (Brienne of Tarth!) by making her into a useless, shiny prop. Phasma doesn't even really count as a character. Damn shame.

-Has a useless side plot which only serves to make a "#%@& rich people" statement (absurdly ironic coming from Disney).

-Is riddled with cringey humor within serious situations, like Poe making a prank-call on General Weasley and finishing it off with a "yo-Mama" joke (and making him a laughing-stock).

-Displays extremely foolish military strategy from the leadership of both sides of the war (making it hard to care about the fate of the Resistance, nor take its enemies seriously)

-Is severely lacking in familiar species of aliens from Ep. 1-6, as well as any aliens in lead roles. Only humans. Where's the diversity, Disney? Are aliens in lead roles too progressive for you?

-Much more, but this list is way too long already. (Thank you to anyone who had the patience to read all the way to the end, which I doubted anyone would.)
