Well, it's really cool at first, and it's definitely a skill you can develop. You can get good at controlling your dreams, too (summoning new elements, or trying to render things differently (don't know how appropriate render is for word choice).
Exhibiting control is actually quite exhausting, ironically, and the in between stage (bad way to describe it) when you're on the verge of wakefulness and hanging on to a dream-state by a thread is quite an lonely, dark, barren, color-void space (not that there are very many colors in your dreams to begin with).
Personally, I feel it's much better to make sure you're loaded up on your B vitamins, get really drunk, and then have really immersive and vivid dreams.
I will say, though, the one time I got high and took a nap and lucid dreamt, it was decisively different. I've only done that once, so I can't say empirically, but it was more comfortable.
There are other, much unhealthier, ways of producing ultra-vivid dreams, in my experience, but I don't feel comfortable discussing those here in detail. At least for now, I'm past the "hack your brain" phase of my life (a lot of interesting chemicals (I don't mean drugs/getting high) and cornered market science surrounding the area). |

There is some information that an actor doesn't need, and that's okay. I can't control everything. I don't want to control everything. Sometimes, you want to control everything, and you want to know the size of the lens and stuff like that. I am so relaxed as an actor because I don't want to control everything. I just want to control my part. |

I like playing around with the words; I love it when I feel like I've picked the exact right word to describe whatever it is I'm trying to describe. |

The thing is, I never see my characters as psychopaths. I see them as really crippled victims who just happen to do bad things. And I never see them as bad guys; I see them as darker characters. I never see anything as good or bad; it's more light or dark, and the in-between is the grey. |

The object of a New Year is not that we should have a new year. It is that we should have a new soul and a new nose; new feet, a new backbone, new ears, and new eyes. Unless a particular man made New Year resolutions, he would make no resolutions. Unless a man starts afresh about things, he will certainly do nothing effective. |

Throw your dreams into space like a kite, and you do not know what it will bring back, a new life, a new friend, a new love, a new country. |

No one should negotiate their dreams. Dreams must be free to fly high. No government, no legislature, has a right to limit your dreams. You should never agree to surrender your dreams. |

When so many are lonely as seem to be lonely, it would be inexcusably selfish to be lonely alone. |

Your woods, irons and wedges are built with specific lengths and lie angles, which demand that you stand to the ball a little differently for each one. The secret is to know which elements of your address position remain constant, and which ones you have to tweak to match the club in your hand. |

Sometimes, it's just easier to say yes to that extra snack or dessert, because frankly, it is exhausting to keep saying no. It's exhausting to plead with our kids to eat just one more bite of vegetables. |

If I do a bit on stage, I prepare too much. Those bits are all really, really carefully written, and overwritten, and researched. I really don't feel like I can wing it. So I write it out word for word, and when I'm onstage I'll improvise around it. |
