This is a place to share greentexts and witness the confounding life of Anon. If you're new to the Greentext community, think of it as a sort of zoo with Anon as the main attraction.

Be warned:

If you find yourself getting angry (or god forbid, agreeing) with something Anon has said, you might be doing it wrong.

Then I woke up, at first impressed that I did that. Then I just couldn’t help but wonder if I was just dreaming that I lucid dreamed and that the choices I made were actually just a part of the dream.

Your choices in a dream are colored by the reduced mental output you have when you're dreaming. In a dream, you might make a lot of dumb decisions than make perfect sense in the dream, but are immediately illogical when you think about them awake.

With lucid dreaming, you have an increased self-awareness, but you're still in a low-activity brainwave state.
