Creating extra limbs

Here's a very cool thing to try out the next time you go lucid. I stumbled upon it sort of by accident during my most recent lucid dream.

A few days ago I had a dream during which I started to suspect that I was dreaming. I decided to do my normal reality check and tried to push my finger through my palm. It worked and I went lucid. However, unlike usually, this time I did not pull my finger out of my hand. Instead, I wanted to see what would happen if I pulled my finger further down my arm, while it was inside. The finger went through the arm like it was Play-Doh and I ended up splitting the whole limb in two. Then a cool thing happened - both sides transformed into full separate arms with fully functioning hands. In other words, I now had three hands that I could feel and use separately - two on my left side and one on my right. I did not want to stop there, and continued to split the arms on my left side into more units. I got up to around six, until my brain seemingly couldn't process any more of them and just turned them all into a blurry mush, which then morphed back into my original arm.

I definitely recommend trying this out. It's an incredible feeling being able to create fully functioning new body parts for yourself.
