Topic: I Have A Theory
I call it "Borrowed Souls". It has to do with our dreams, and the military.
A little background:
When I was young, in high school, I didn't consider myself to be special. This was eventually implied to me by other people's words and actions. What happened, and happens to this day, freaked me out, and still kind of gives me the creeps when it happens.
In high school my sister was two years older, hence two years ahead of me in school. But I was in a couple of her classes because I always wanted to take the most advanced courses. I would have my homework done early, and would sit in the living room watching TV while she struggled through hers. I always admired her because she worked so hard at it.
Once in a while I would get this weird feeling and look away from the TV and notice her "staring" at me. She would promptly turn her gaze back to her homework and continue on. I finally fought through the creepiness and got the courage to ask her what she was doing, why she was looking at me like that. She replied, "I feel that when I am stumped for an answer on my homework if I look at you it will come to me."
"O...K... t h a t was weird," I thought.
"Even if that's possible, wouldn't it be considered cheating?" (our mom was strict about not cheating in school) I allowed it, partly because I didn't quite believe it at the time.
It must have been feasible because she did it on such a consistent basis. She added that it was better than asking me for help. Obviously this was because of our age difference, and requesting my help would have hurt her pride.
In The Present
I've caught my dad doing this same thing the last few years. When I asked him what he was doing, he replied similarly.
Now, the theory.
When we sleep, I believe our soul is temporarily loosened, or even detached, from our bodies. We transfer from consciousness to subconsciousness in which our awareness is considerably, if not totally, decreased. I think certain entities (a.k.a the government) have developed a technique in which they "borrow" the souls of gifted people, and temporarily implant them in military personnel. This could be from utilizing a satellite based MEG to detect specific brainwave patterns, or an ancient artifact could have been discovered that "detects" souls.
If you think about it, not many people who enter the military are intellectually or intuitively gifted. In fact, those who are avoid that aspect of society for obvious reasons. But the military personnel are trained to be controlled. If a way was discovered to "borrow" these souls of gifted people without their knowing of it, and implant them temporarily into the controllable personnel, they would have the best of both worlds. This would also explain the strange dreams about "secret missions". As far as the body is concerned, it doesn't experience those realities. But they are imprinted upon the souls, so when the soul reenters the body, some of it carries over and appears as a dream. This would also explain the feeling of being unrested, for the soul, in fact, hasn't really rested.
Lately I have developed the ability to resist this "technique" which has allowed me to see things more clearly.

I would rather control myself, than someone else.
