This mirrors my typical experience with lucid dreaming, it's more exciting to relax whatever control I have and be entertained (or disturbed). A lot of lucid dreamers report flying, that's so boring compared to the rest! Time control of the situation I'm imagining and experimenting with multiple paths concurrently ranks higher on the fun list than flying for me.

Don't be too disturbed by the weird imaginings. If they're particularly weird you could probably write a modestly successful Bizarro genre story. (In my favorites is http://www.amazon.com/Ass-Goblins-Auschwitz-Cameron-Pierce/d... which may be banned in Germany.)

Ok, this book - wtf. How did you find it?

About the banning, I reckon it would be ok, although considered extremely bad taste. I can't imagine a publisher taking the risk. However, it's forbidden to use the swastika at all, in any context (1), so the image on the title page would have to be changed. The book is also not shown in the German Amazon search. (Yes, I'm German.) Sounds very interesting though!

(1)(there have been left groups with emblems with a crossed-out swastika having problems in court for this)
