What I find really interesting is how time works in dreams. Like how a dream had in the slumber after an alarm goes off can seem to last for hours. Yet the brain-meter thingies show there's some linear manifestation of neurological activity similar to the waking state, but different. Like downloading a PDF all quickly, as opposed to reading a book. Or something. Maybe like that thing in the Matrix with the cassette player and the neck spike that made their eyes wiggle.
Also context pivots. Like in a dream you'll, say, be walking in the woods, then meet someone, then you'll suddenly be on a boat with them, or something, then you notice something on the boat and suddenly you're going close to a waterfall, then instead of falling you're floating on a spaceship, etc. Like everything except what you're focusing immediately on the the dream is malleable, and reality "pivots" around it, and as you experience the dream you move the pivot. I sort of feel the trick to lucid dreaming is learning to control moving the pivot.
