My friend once dreamed that he was red. Not that he was colored red, but that he was the color red itself. His consciousness was identified with the color red: Everything that was red was he, everything that was he was red.
I have had plenty of lucid dreams, but haven’t developed such a flexibility of mind yet. Anyone here who’s got any ideas of other really far-out abstract things to dream?
Well, I never really thought about it before, but in an LD once I tried to be invisible and my surroundings turned to black-and-white. (and i don’t remember ever dreaming in black-and-white before) In theory, wouldn’t invisibility be possible if you became a color in a black-and-white universe?
Probably didn’t help much… but just something to think about.
I guess you should be able to pass by quite unnoticed being a color, both in real life and while dreaming. A drawback could be that you might not be able to form the thoughts you normally have in your mind, since a color lacks neurons and stuff. On the other hand, what’s the point of transforming yourself into something else if you don’t get to experience a new mindset?
Being invisible sounds fun. I see two different versions. First (the easiest) where you can feel that you have a body only that nobody can see it. And secondly, where you don’t have the concept of body – somehow…
Was your friend lucid when he dreamed this? I think that the unlucid mind is more flexible. Becuase rationality is not as much of an obstacle. It’s irrational to rationalize in a dream, so things are easier for the unlucid dreamer. He can just go with it. An admirable freedom.
About insivibility. In dream, my experience has been that I can see myself, but noone else can. I guess that’s more like being out-of-mind.
ive dreamt i was in another dimension. (not lucid) It got really complex to talk about but i do understand the concept of dreaming something so strange. This demension was just all neon colors and it was like moving in liquid…weird stuff.
