Pulsing light

All the fun today was in the hypnagogia. Not a whole lot to this dream, so I will go into detail about the ecstasy. But wow... what an intense and pleasurable experience it was! I start having euphoric flashes that can best be described as that slight pleasant feeling you get in your head when you just wake up and are about to get out of bed. I get the feeling they are heavily-oxygen dependent as they come only when I am breathing in. I have long since recognized these as a precursor to a lucid dream, and even better, ecstasy. The ecstasy comes and does not last the normal 5-15 seconds; instead, it continues at an intense level for at least a minute. At points it starts to fade away as it offshoots into tingling sensations down the spine into the body, but I suppress the tingling, avoid waking up, and the ecstasy picks back up again. <PERSON> "You Do not Know How it Feels" is playing on Pandora, and the nerves in my brain start to pulse to the tune of the music, with a full body pulse at "roll another joint." I see my phone and start to dive into it. I am now on a forum where something called "AE" is being discussed, which apparently has to do with having negative thoughts. Sometimes I feel like the dreams are trying to train me to have only positive thoughts (imagine if your body responded to your conscious thought: "Stop my heart" would not be the best thing for you). After I wake up, Muse's "Undisclosed Desires" starts to play. Would have enjoyed feeling the pulsing to the tune of that slap bass.
