      Lightbulb

      So I'm four-eyed because I am nearsighted. My vision in dreams is always, always one of the most fascinating aspects of the worlds I create.

      The image below is an attempt to capture the blurry peripherals and vivid colors I experience. I hear about black-n-white or grey dreams but I'mm 100% technicolor.

      I had to write a bunch of goofy code to get this to finally look the way it should. Hope you enjoy and my biggest hope is that someone else's vision is similar!

      Yeah man I always hear people about how they Remember their dreams black and white...I wonder why, because I always remember my dreams in the most intricate unusual color details: Limestone/Beige buildings and Turquoise domes on buildings, Underground Metrostations with bright yellow ligths, Darkgreen Hedges, Summercamps with green grassy fields surrounded by Forrests...etc. Not only color but an infinite scale of low and high light levels ( Complete darkness @ nigttime, Darkness with a a slight orange illumination from streetlights, extremely bright sun...etc )

      Perhaps the Graphic Detail is due to the fact that I'm a very Visual person: I draw alot too so it may be no wonder.

      BTW when I'm dreaming about a forrest The Image you created looks very similair to what I have experienced while cycling through the forrest-path in my dreams.

      not to overestimate the Value of our Concrete Knowledge;"Common sense"/Rationality,
      for doing so would make us Blind for the unimaginable, unparalleled Capacity of and Wisdom contained within our Felt Knowledge;Subconscious Intuition.

      If I remember correctly, men are naturally more "visual" than women.

      I saw it somewhere that it was evident throughout everyday communication.

      For example, if I'm talking to someone and want to show I understand, I say "I see" instead of "I hear you." I say, "try to see it from my perspective" instead of "hear me out."

      Interesting...

      Strange...I'd be interested to see evidence of that. (Haha I just realized I said "SEE" and not read)

      Anyways...I'm an extremely visual person and I live in my imagination. Sometimes it can interfere with everyday life. Heh. But anyways...groovy image.

      Thumbs up

      Here's evidence that shows I'm right!

      Men, Women Use Brains Differently

      Meanwhile, the opposite was true during the visual-spatial task — with men showing more bilateral activation in another area while processing visual information than females, who were more lateralized to the right side.

      No, wait. I'm wrong!

      Erotic images elicit strong response from brain

      A great deal of past research has suggested that men are more visual creatures than women and get more aroused by erotic images than women. Anokhin says the fact that the women's brains in this study exhibited such a quick response to erotic pictures suggests that, perhaps for evolutionary reasons, our brains are programmed to preferentially respond to erotic material.

      Thanks, Wolfie!

      I was just thinking about blurry peripherals. I always thought it was due to instability of the dream state. But hindsight being 20/20, I think I might have noticed blurry peripherals about the same time I got my new spectac(ular&#33les. They're the skinny rectangular kind.

      So normally what my mind filters during the day (blurry peripheral) is an important part of convincing a dream state. As LaBerge says, "it's about expectation." I expect my peripherals to be blurry.

      Anyway, since this is the artsy-fartsy forum, here's what I dreamt last night.

      All I awoke with were the colors "pumpkin, moss, and mustard" in my head and this image.

      (Check out the sparkly water on the right side...dreeeeemeeeee....)

      Wow, if your dreams are even that vivid I envy you. My dreams look animated with everything blurry and extremely blurrry faces, although I guess I'm blessed with color in my dreams.

      Really? Your description is so alien to me. (That's not an insult...I guess I'm surprised everyone doesn't dream similarly.) So, for you, it's really like the movie Waking Life?


      Like I said, very blurry peripherals but very bright focus on wherever my attention is drawn. Anything I'm not actively looking at is always shifty and sliding in and out of focus. Mine are very "liquid" in a way that my environment is constantly changing.

      For some reason, I never think "where'd that bush go?" (Gee, might I be missing a dream sign?) I do get lots of glow and specular highlights (if you're familiar with the computer graphics term) on non-human living things.

      The more I play around with photoshopping (and writing my own graphics processing tools) the closer I'm getting to showing the result of the world what I see. I'm probably at 80% right now. Just kind of difficult to show such a dynamic world in a static image.

      Come to think of it, yeah it's similar to waking life. The only difference is all the colors that had been placed over the people for the retroscoping doesn't slide around. (Is it retroscoping or rotoscoping i forget?)

      And yes I have taken two high school photoshop courses, but my teacher sucked . I think I was better than him.
