It doesn't change the way you have to behave? Are you kidding? When I
become aware that I'm dreaming, I know I can behave in any socially
unacceptable way that I want, because I'm never going to see *these*
versions of these people again. And if it's one of those frustrating
dreams where I keep trying to wake up but it just won't take, I do :)
Kind of like Groundhog Day.
