Jason's first thought I've spent all the damn day gaming! Now I'm probably late for my date with Astrid and she'll never want to see me again!

As he paused the game he self criticized... Jason you fucking addict! How much of your damn life are you going to waste with these sims?

However, relief flooded his mind as soon as he saw the time, 6:14 PM I still have 90 minutes to get ready for my date and book it over to water fountain park! It's only like 5 minutes by auto taxi.

Jason was near the top of the cognitive enhancement roller coaster; sitting in the nerve center of his little online gambling empire which he had designed with sensory deprivation in mind, he was almost overwhelmed with sensation, sound, and sight. His hearing was as sharp as a bat's, from his high rise condo he could differentiate the individual sounds outside his window that were usually a smörgåsbord of generic city noise; a car's squeaky brakes, a motorcycle revving, a metro train crossing a bridge, a car's engine starting, a woman yelling and a horn honking. The glowing of screens of the nerve center sharply contrasted the dusky spectrum of colors in the sky outside. The screen displayed various live reports of digitally quantifiable aspects of Jason's life; his rankings in various gaming tournaments, the performance of the investments he had made in various funds, emails and social media notifications along with a slew of biofeedback data, his heart rate variability, blood sugar levels even his proportion of alpha to gamma brain waves. In just a few seconds he could glance from screen to screen, take in, and analyze about 50 different metrics.
I should really eat something soon! But... It really would be a shame to waste this buzz! He resumed playing.

The two curvaceous figures in the bed didn't seem to pay a lot of mind to the new intruders in their chamber. He approached their bed, they didn't react much, although one of them uttered in a low, sultry voice "Geia (yah)" - "Hello" in Greek, as she brushed her hair off her shoulder. He smiled widely and slowly at her.

More travel hacks...

In the film Inception, a team of espionage agents is highly compensated by multi-nationals to manipulate people through their dreams.

Lucid Dreaming is the closest thing outside of the silver screen to this. It's not hyperbole when I say that lucid dreaming can and will make your REM sleeping hours the most vividly exciting part of your day.

A few examples of my highly vivid and memorable experiences:

• Being a dictator of an underwater society.
• Falling through the center of the earth and experiencing zero gravity.
• Escaping from a version of Hell that would make any video game designer jealous.
• Epic Matrix-Esque Kung Fu battles with swords, lightsabers, and machine guns.
• Hanging out on a luxury yacht that would make Jay-Z jealous.
• Making love to Lara Croft from Tomb Raider.
• Being attacked by a giant killer manta ray in the ocean.
• Rock climbing caverns with family.
• Skydiving with Neil Patrick Harris, after hitting on hot German girls (yes, I know he's gay, I'm obviously a big fan of Barney Stinson).
• Driving incredibly irresponsibly in high performance cars.
• Interacting with loved ones who passed away years ago.
• Personal consultations with Winston Churchill.
• Fighting giant bugs, Starship Troopers style!
• Speed dating grandmas.

This article will present methodologies for maximizing the entertainment value and personal development benefits from dreaming.

Lucid Dreaming is my coolest lifehack. Why?

It takes what is usually unproductive, forgetful time, and turns it into world-class entertaining adventures and opportunities for introspection. It does also have some cross over benefits to real-life personal development (explained below). While there are a few products that enhance it, Lucid Dreaming is free.

You face a red pill/blue pill moment dear reader, a dream life of adventure is not for everyone, so you may want to stop reading NOW before being sucked into this surreal world of danger, sex, misbehaving physics, and confusing conversations with your unconscious.

In the world of personal development "be present" is the new "be confident"...

You hear 'be present' repeated by everyone from self-help gurus, yoga instructors, public speaking coaches to pickup artists and comedians. Meditation, Yoga, Tai Chi, Tantric practice, and even Dual N-Back training can help you practice being present but this article is going to focus on the intersection of being present, body language, and situational awareness and how they can be practiced by gamifying your reality.

On a simple level, 'be present' means that your thoughts are focused on the here and now as opposed to in the past or future.

The Problem: If you spend the majority of your mental energy planning for the future or analyzing the past, it's difficult to transition to focusing on the present. While planning for the future and analyzing the past is very important, I'm going to do a bad job of executing future goals or more importantly enjoying the life I'm working so damn hard for or if my mind is stuck in the past or future. Have you ever found that you couldn't stop worrying about something that happened at work or thinking about the future when you should have been enjoying yourself with friends or family? This is a failure in being present. I'm also going to do a bad job at maintaining high situational awareness if my mind is perpetually pondering the past or future.

Like most ambitious, busy lifehackers my day to day thoughts are probably focused:

• Future 50%
• Present 20%
• Past 30%

A hacker is someone who wants to gain complete control of the system they are dealing with - be it technological or social.

A biohacker, therefore, is someone who wants to gain complete control of their own biology.
