Liquid Dream II is designed as a tool to help you have lucid dreams. The word lucid is defined as clarity, especially of thought. In regard to dreaming it refers to a state in which you are aware that you are dreaming, whilst you are dreaming.
Liquid Dream II includes a computer character called Merlin who uses a text-to-speech engine to read your dreams (or e-mails) to you, guide you into meditation, do reality checks with you and speak any input text to you whilst you are dreaming - giving you the possibility of acting it out. When you get the timing right, Merlin basically pops up in your dream and starts interacting with you.
...Imagine finding yourself in any moment, even now, only that you know you are dreaming because of certain inconsistencies you will learn to recognize, and that you have the capacity to act on that knowledge. Not much will be different, and depending on your concentration, certain things might even seem more real and detailed than when you are in your waking state of mind. You will be able to change the location you are in, manipulate the objects around you, and even conjure up characters, if you so desire. Physical laws such as gravity and even time do not exist unless you believe them to, allowing you to travel at the speed of thought and to fly as high as your mind permits. And most of all, consequence does not exist to the extent it does in your waking life. You can do anything without having to bear the consequence of your actions, except for the impact they have on you.
