All-Star Dream, with odd additions and alternative replays

The dream itself is a bit absurd -- kinda like a zombie apocalypse movie gone bad, where the military, the wrestling federation, A-Team, and a select number of individuals (including myself) ended up working together into bringing humanity back to "normal", since people suddenly were caked with white stuff and acted all wierd and stuff. Nicholas Cage was this super-skilled sniper taking out zombies who suddenly acquired almost equally-good sniping skills.

The odd additions would come at what I could call "alternative replays", because the dream seemed to loop but with different variations; wrestlers didn't come up the first time it was played, and neither did the army (wrestlers came up around the second time it played, army guys and snipers came in around the third and fourth time).

One odd addition would be at the part where everybody was about to assault this laboratory where all the zombies where being controlled/created, and my grandfather suddenly drives in from I don't know where, wearily tries to get into the house gates. Some of the military guys strip him of his pants with virtually no struggle, gets his belt, and asks if anyone would need an extra pair of pants and a belt; although I took the pants, I threw away the belt. The last time I saw my grandpa in that dream, he was trying to get some sleep under his brown car (which earlier was what he drove and somehow got teleported inside the house).

Immediately after that, the fourth version had me chasing the rest of the military guys, while contemplating on what would happen if Filipinos became zombies in the said zombie apocalypse. The images that I saw: essentially nothing changed, with people still watching TV, chatting about how good alcohol is for children (or something to that degree), etc.

I'd like to take a moment to add this thing I noticed over the past weeks: it seems that with enough skill and determination, one can weaken his spiritual ties with his body, to the point where his body would refuse to budge, at least until the ties are restored. I'm not sure if it is possible to actually kill one's self by sheer willpower -- no drugs, bullets, or what not -- but I am definitely certain that even if it *were* possible, three things would likely stop most people from doing so: morals, lack of training/determination, and the natural strength of one's ties with his mortal shell.

Last night was the second time I focused a significant amount of spiritual "energy" into a sphere, with an intent to not wake up (being emotionally distraught at the time). I didn't release the energy ball, I simply focused it all in one hand -- with my emotions clouding my judgements -- and slept.

The first time I woke up (being kissed by my wife), my body flatly refused to budge at all for a good amount of time -- roughly 15-30 minutes -- and for me to get back control, I had to "will" myself back for most of the time my body refused to budge.

The second time I woke up, I was actually still dreaming, yet I felt my spirit partially tie itself into the mortal realm, albeit barely, and until I forced energy into my third eye with the intent of reinforcing my spirit's bond with my body, I felt as if I wasn't me, or something like that.

Again, I doubt people would normally be able to do this without removing their moral bindings -- namely, the knowledge that killing anyone, especially one's self, is evil and will bring you to Hell -- and lack of training/discipline (although I do believe alcohol can play a part in bypassing this... up to a certain degree). Even if we're talking of a person with little heed to morality, and who is dedicated and willing to try this, I doubt it would be possible to just separate body from mind/spirit/soul like that, because from what I can tell there's this unknown force that ties the two together, and it's this force that I suppose we could call "life" or something.

Given the nature of this "life force", I'm not even sure *how* science could approach such a subject, if it is possible at all (since this goes beyond what is currently perceived as "natural", and yet it isn't "theoretical" either; some might consider it as a figment of my imagination, but frankly even if it wasn't and if this turned out to be some sort of subconscious paranoia of some sort, that would still be an interesting thing to study, assuming we can go beyond theories about human psyche).
