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.

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.
Originally posted by testsIndeed. 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.
The thing about lucid dreaming is that it feels real.
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.

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.
Originally posted by testsLet'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.

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.
You only did it once??
