Thread: Slaves of our minds?

I think that could be but I think the part of your mind doing the dream stuff would be way different from who we are normally.

That gives me a crazy idea though. If you believe in reincarnation, maybe its all your past lives who are playing around in your head. Just think, where else would they go?

You mean kind of like in fight club?

Tyler does his thing while the narrator thinks he's sleeping...

Multoplicity!
I think that is acool thought. How can anyone rule anything out?
If cultures kept expanding on what the first generation of Lucid dreamers now and taught the next generation you could progress into who only knows.
Even though there are a lot of peope who diagree with how much of your brain you use. If someone were to only use a small percentage of their brain then maybe this is what the rest of it is meant to be used for.

But who is to say that's fair...I mean phew. That's a rough question on the mind. I wouldn't be really happy if I knew someone was 'using' me to run their lives while they have fun LD-ing. Then again that would be me. Sort of cloning people and the two-souls kind of thing...sort of. Like in that movie the Sixth Day where they wanted to kill one of him. It's not fair if you really think you're you. I mean, my "other" self would want me to remain ignorant of what he was up to...I think...??? I'm going to relax my head a little...

Maybe your other self could help you achieve this and have some company. I was thinking the other day that, scince the only true reality is perception, either I am God, my subconscious is God, a collective subconscious is God, or there is a God in the conventional sense of the word. It's all so confusing, but something has to define what you percieve, whether it be you, a part of you, a part of everyone, everyone, or God.

I've always had the oppinion that our subconscience just another system making sure the entity that we are works properly.

I guess I could explain it as a branch of operations from the mind...or like a giant library...(or labyrinth if you want to be agonisingly realistic about it, heh).
