i just had an idea. what if we transform into our animal in our dreams and it instantley makes it to were we have the same brain capcity as them. suddenly we would be physically and mentally that animal in our dream, or worse be mentally that animal in the physical world.
The physical transformation would be the easy part, the mental transformation would be the hard part. the question is, how do we know how our specific animal thinks? All we would have to go on is the information each of us personally knows about them. But I imagine it would be possible to conform our mentality to our image of our animal, though I imagine it to be insanely difficult. (Reminds me of Therian mental shifting really) I don’t think the effect would crossover into the real world.
i see your point slinking_ferret. but if your you re suddenly not lcid during or after the transformation, your subconsious may believe it to be real and send messages to your brain saying that you are that animal. maybe even over a coarse of several years there may be physical changes. that would really stink.
and as for the mental transformation, it would be how we think our animal thinks. so like you would constantley be thinking about stuff that animal likes, or you might try eating what that animal eats.
does that make sense?
It could be that when we get Lucid we could transform into our animal Alter-ego(A second self within one person). Were still the same person, just in a different form or identity…but we act kind of differently. Like when someone suddenly gets very happy and energetic, its like they’re a different person, but we obviously know they’re not.
I’m half asleep because I’m still jet lagged so that probably doesn’t make much sense .
Well, no one knows for sure. That is the idea: we TRY to have no human thoughts. I suppose it’s possible, maybe like some self-hypnosis… I believe when LDing, we’re more susceptible to such things.
This sounds like an amazing idea. And I’ve been trying this for a few days. It’s weird. Since I use MILD to LD, I’ve been trying to think about my animal a lot. Maybe I should go hang out with the therians, but I say that within a dream-like state, it should be fairly easy to “slip” into this other thought path.
(The way I see it, every different kind of thinking, whether it’s between species or individuals, is like a stream. And sometimes two streams come close or intersect, and that’s when we feel a bond with or have an understanding of someone. I don’t mean literally, but my mind understand metaphors and analogies best, so that’s how I explain stuff. )
Heyness.
I’m in. (Pretty much read the entire topic.)
I’m deciding between two types of bats. Okay. Yellow bellied sheath-tail bat then. Flying foxes suck with echo-location and that’s one of the best parts about being a bat!
Sorry about the long name.
Maybe you noticed, but the topic shrinked back to 8 pages. This is because I removed 40 posts from the past weeks and merged them into the Animal Clan CHAT topic. (I considered even removing more, but I ended up with only this)
Please use that topic to chat and this topic for more official posts, such as your lucid dreams about the animal clan.
As Ferret pointed out “Honestly I’m afraid that if we can’t keep a clear distinction between the main topic and the chat topic then it would be moved back to the playground ” He is right, so let this be a lesson before it is too late ^^
