Do battle on planets, in space, and on bases and ships.

sounds like you have more interesting dreams than me...and Last night, i dreamt that i was a wizard with nanotechnology and a terminater was coming after me. and that's about par for my dreams. there was more before that, but that's what i remember. If you dreamed what I dreamed, you would commit suicide. I don't know about that. I've had a few winners from time to time. Like this morning, before my alarm clock woke me up, I had some sort of 24 inspired dream in which for some reason, I was helping Jack, then like in most dreams, things start going Salvador Dalish and start getting really weird. Then the alarm went off, and I didn't finish my dream. Sometimes I'd like to shoot the guy who came up with the idea of clocks designed to wake us up too dang early.

Re: A New Space Empires Game Idea
generally, controlling what you dream about involves controlling what you think about. I always make a consious effort to keep my thoughts 'decent' but my subconsious is usually pretty grizzly. thus, so are my dreams - when i can remember them.
most of the time, im lucky enough not to be able to remember the things.

Re: A New Space Empires Game Idea
i've found that practice helps, so does falling asleep while concentrating on something, although that takes practice to work.

I can't go to sleep while I'm concentrating on something. I need the complete absence of mental activity. Of course, once I fall asleep, that's a different matter.
