Drifting Into Dream

I am tired of not having super powers, so I consider why I do not.  They have been promised, and I believe, fully, that they are impending.  I begin with flying because it is tangible and fun to do.  Referencing my last post and a conversation with a friend, it seems that flying in real life is exactly like Neo jumping the building in The Matrix, except the leap is not required. All that is required is understanding that the bulk of reality lies outside of visible space, in pocket dimensions that I imagine typically have scattered poles in relation to how they intersect with our own. Zeroes and ones like background radiation, the framework of the matrix embedded in these pocket dimensions. One occupies these dimensions all the time, like colors occupy a rainbow.  I have flown in dreams where the only difference (according to a measurement of our brain activity during REM sleep) is that I do not believe that I can not, in fact when I do fly I have the expectation that I can.

The next point is critical and may seem foreign to our modern view of the world, but with each new discovery I feel the honest scientist must admit they find out that our reality is stranger than it seemed before, and this point is fundamental. If the readings and experience of the human brain during REM sleep/a dream, which mimic brain waves we experience while awake, can not be trusted (and therefore translated directly into this reality), then the observation and conclusion can not be trusted either.  This is because it is literally the same brain in each case, and fundamentally the same brain waves patterns, observing.  Despite all our advances, instruments, vehicles, etc, we are still brains inside bodies here, and that is the starting point we must begin from for anything to be valid. Thought is acted upon, actions change experience.

Therefore, if I can experience flight in a dream, it must be possible to experience flight in the waking world. If one says it is not, then one is merely trying to assert their view or experience of reality over my own, without anything but circumstantial evidence, as the observed and observing brain stand on equally valid ground from the perspective of how they reached their own conclusion in these states. Now I am specifically talking of REM sleep here, not of other states of consciousness, as they are quite similar.

I understand this is not our commonly agreed upon experience, but remember that commonly agreed upon experience has shifted dramatically even in science (Copernicus, Newton, Einstein). It is not simply our understanding that changed at these junctures, but how we actually interacted with reality changed with these revelations as well.
