it's too bad your all wrong!!In the September 2000 edition of Spin magazine, Scott Stapp explained that this is is not about Christ's ascension to heaven or taking a big bong hit, but is about the power of lucid-dreaming: "You're physically asleep, but you're awake in your mind," he explains. He read a book about Hindu monks who have perfected the technique and thought it might help him squelch a recurring nightmare: He's running down a highway, closely pursued by a man with a gun. He turns left and hides behind a pillar beneath an overpass but gets shot anyway. Stapp says that once he learned how to lucid-dream, he was able to alter the nightmare so that he turned right and escaped. After he wrote "Higher" about the experience, he never had the nightmare again.

i need to learn how to use lucid-dreaming to exonerate someone from appearing in mine. i'm not one to dream about women often or at all, and she's not part of my reality anymore so i want to stop waking up from dreams involving her.

CAN YOU AKE ME HIGHER?

that was completely tongue in cheek interview to prevent the Christophobes who hate and fear all things Christian in communist hollywood and fascist manhattan from attacking his band. This song is unequivocally about a Christian world view of the afterlife.
