I had a really fucking weird dream, shit, have you ever caught yourself smiling at your own dream in your sleep? Where am I then, when I'm sleeping and in the story, but still outside of it? Not to say it's me who's making up the whole thing, omg, dream on.
I think scientists haven't even got close to the real potentials of the human mind, I mean what you'd be capable of just with your mind, how much data and routes it stores and shit like that.
