Thread: OPEN BETA - Open beta TWOTLD - Day 1

^^ Okay; cool! I'll hang around then; thanks!

So, um, I can assume that later you will be clarifying that lucidity does not equal vividness? Or do you actually hold that as true, and I've been missing something all these years (which would be interesting as well!)?

I actually don't get into that, maybe I should for clarity's sake, I don't know. The book is concerned with vivid lucidity, so I don't really talk about non-vivid lucidity. When I say lucidity, I mean vivid lucidity.

Hmm... I never really heard the term "vivid lucidity" before, since lucidity is traditionally -- and literally-- equated with the presence of wakiing-life self-awareness in a dream, and vividness is simply another aspect of the overall quality of the dream. Sure, a lucid dreamer can use his self-awareness to increase vividness, or clarity, but to define the lucidity with vividness is an interesting take. This is certainly a novel approach; I look forward to seeing where the next chapters take us!
