I've also heard that if you read something, look away, look back and read it again, and it's different, then you're dreaming. You can practice this experiment when you're awake; this will condition your brain to do that reflexively, and eventually you'll do it in a dream.

One of the possible outcomes of this kind of dream-testing is lucid dreaming. When you're dreaming, knowing you're dreaming inside the dream can give you some semi-conscious control of the entire dream universe. Wanna fly? BAM you can fly. Enemies need smiting? SMITE. Done.

Now I'm wondering if the "real me" that, you know is actually real ... doesn't just entirely believe that I'm really real, but is really just a dream of the next level up. Same thing goes for the other direction, with innumerable layers to the onion. How could I possibly know?
