Most of the time, those who harbor such fantasies simply flirt with danger. It can make sense to hold back.
Rebellion often brings harrowing consequences, from loss of friends or a job to jail.
Sometimes, situations are simply not oppressive enough to bring out the rebel within. This month's edition of the Omni Mind-Brain Lab gives you a chance to escape the mundane routines of your everyday existence and explore the Rebel within. In a series of fantasy, role-playing exercises, you will have the chance to join other Omni Internet readers in exploring your reactions to four very different Rebel scenarios. Whether you find yourself defending the Establishment or taking up the cause of the Rebels, we think you'll discover some fascinating things about yourself along the way. If you have any doubt about your ability to comfortably handle this exercise, or have a history of serious psychological problems, please check with your doctor or therapist before you begin.
