Could it be possible that we are not actually conscious during lucid dreaming, but our subconscious tricks us into beleiving that we are? Could this whole thing big a big sham!!!
Oh feck. I’m going to have the LD secret service on my tail now, aren’t I?
Smashes head against microwave for not taking about 1,000 things into account
Not to mention the scientific study results…
Well, go easy on me. Although I’ve been researching for almost a year now, I’ve only really had one or two lucid experiences. and they weren’t very good at that
This is exactly as the way I thought upon falling asleep when I was younger .
"If I now Go to a great place , dream or do anything special and forgets it inthe morning , how would I know ? "
How would I know I hadn`t done it ?
And has it really happened ?
You could go even further than that and say what if our entire lives before this moment were nothing. The world was actually created this very second, and the creator implanted those memories into us upon creation!!!
I think LaBerge proved that dreams are not just memories by monitoring controlled eye movements of lucid dreamers.
He talks about this in the “Awake in Your Dream” lecture.
I’ve had a dream where I was dreaming that I was lucid… I don’t know how to explain lol, but it was like dreaming that I was LDing. I don’t know, maybe I just had a very very low lucidity level or something, but in my dream I had NO control whatsoever, and at the same time I “saw” myself being lucid (kinda like I knew I was lucid but it felt totally different from being lucid and everything was still like a dream. I wasn’t aware of my dream at all, I just let it all happen and didn’t know that it was a dream, while at the same time I kept thinking I’m lucid and trying to do all these things, but it was like a dream-me trying to do all that, not ME me).
Sorry if I don’t make any sense lol, but my point is, I think actually being lucid and dreaming of being lucid is very different, it feels different.
I once had a dream that I was in English class and our assignment was to go to sleep and then write about our dreams. In my dream-in-the-dream I knew I was dreaming, but I wouldn’t call it lucidity. I just knew I was dreaming because I was doing it on purpose. Or something. It was pretty odd. I remember writing down the dream while I was still in the dream, then waking up into the real dream. Weeeeiiiird…
I didn’t mind too much though, because the dream-in-the-dream was about a camel wearing a hat.
