Disappointing flexibility

Category: Supernatural
Lucid: No
Hours of sleep: 8

In real life I'm working my ass off to become as flexible as possible for my dancing - so it's really disappointing to wake up to realize that it was only a dream when I held my leg straight up in the air with my knee meeting the side of my head - one day - one day I tell yah!

Dreaming/lucid dreaming, as I've mentioned before, is used by some athletes to visualize and improve their techniques - like a javelin thrower would dream the perfect running technique into a throw - or a golf player would practice his swing - or, like I did, practice my tour en l'air (ballet jump) here.

In the dream world you are liberated from all physical laws of nature which makes you able to experience things in slow-motion, with little or no gravity and in a bigger or more concentrated form than in the real world.
