What if it was possible to draw something and have it come to life?

How amazing would it be if you had full control over your dreams?
Actually, dream lucidity and dream control are not necessarily the same thing. One can be lucid and have little/no dream control. One could also have fantastic dream control with little/no lucidity. Go figure.

Anyways, with regard to thread topic...I remind ya'll of "Cool World."

'Nuff said.

It makes sense in some way I guess. If you are aware of it doesn't mean you can control it.

Generally though once I'm aware something is a dream I tend to have control over it, sometimes not always total control. It varies for me.

I think this is generally the case for most lucid dreamers, 'varies' being the operative word.

The thing about lucid dreaming is that it feels real. Imagine being able to lucid dream about anything you can imagine. I guess this ties directly to original topic question I posed

Indeed. Basically, your brain does at night what it does during the day: fabricate a world out of sensory impressions. When awake, the impressions are immediate; when asleep, the brain uses stored impressions.

I thought 'The Matrix' touched on the what's-real thing pretty well.

True. I wonder if we will ever get to a stage where we can manipulate the brain to believe something is real

The urge to do something sarcastic and snarky like link you the wiki to "Religion" is overwhelming. My apologies for considering it, even though I possessed the restraint to merely talk about it.

hehe, quite clever digi.

What I meant is something like the matrix, where technically anything is possible.

So...where anything is possible. Like with God?

So anyway, I get your point. I'm going to bed now.

In short yes. A world where anything is possible! (waiting to become sober)

Let's just say, I think we will devote a lot more time and effort developing tech-based virtual realities than we will practicing and developing skills for dream lucidity.

...don't get me started.

All I could draw was bad dinosaurs and Vegeta.

So I'd draw Vegeta riding a dinosaur and it'd be just fantastic

I lucid dreamed once in my life. I was in a department store and realized I was dreaming. So I made myself Spider-Man and swung around until I woke up. It was awesome.

Good story bro.

Wanna give me the cliff's notes? If it doesn't involve lesbians, I'm probably not reading it.

only once? I lucid dream damn near every day, and Im being serious.

You only did it once??

One thing that is weird about lucid dreams is when someone wakes you up right in the middle of it

Its takes forever to force yourself back to sleeping/ lucid dreaming and its usually short

that is weird

It's Big C, of course it's weird.

My one lucid dream was better than all of yours, combined.

Fight me.
