I had a dream last night where I ate some magic mushrooms. A little ways into the dream I looked at a digital clock for about 30 seconds just watching the numbers move around and change all over the place, but I decided it was just the mush. How shitty is that? DAMN. I CANNOT LUCID DREAM!!!

Maybe it's time to Just Say No?
:-P
Although serioulsy, I think what the other guy meant to ask was, did it occur to you while you were dreaming that you might be dreaming?
I've had that kind of thing a lot, where I KNOW a situation isn't right, but my mind can't make that last step.
Like when you where looking at the the clock, were you you thinking that you might be dreming? was the only reason you decide thet you weren't was because of the mushrooms?Quote:

Consuming hallucinogens in dreams is definitely interesting.
thats funny, because when ever i consume shrooms in the waking world i cant seem to dream at all when i finally fall asleep.
makes you wonder which one is really a dream, the trip or the sleep or both?
Maybe your entire existence itself is a dream :shock: .Quote:

Or maybe... I'm the one dreaming, and the rest you people are DC's I'm imagining :holycrap: :holyshit: :shock: :shock: :shock:
I got that from Waking Life, where the couple is talking about her waking life is actually the memories of an old lady dying. LIke she's dreaming everything that she thinks is her real reality during the 6-12 minutes of brain activity after her body has already died.
Sorry, maybe a tad confusing. :|
nah good movie, i see what your saying
more likely however is that they are all conscious entities (like yourself) which inhibit a physical body as you do (their consciousness is a proponent of the nonphysical) and are merely interacting as dream characters in someone elses dream
so you could be a dream character?
so could dream characters be real people, i like to think so, opens up the possibility of shared lucid dreaming, which opens up even more doors such as learning how to communicate telepathically in waking life
ahaha
"A child's rhyme stuck in my head, saying life is but a dream, ive spent so many years in question, come to find ive known this all along..."
A person could imagine, that a dream character has a brain, a neurological system, muscles, bones, a mouth that speaks, and memories and a consciousness etc.
Does that make them any different than a person in this so-called real life? Maybe not.
Yes, because they are still a product of your subconcious mind. Meaning, ultimatly, they are you.Quote:

I read about this somewhere, and here is an experient you can do to test it (I have made this experiment up here on the spot, and have not tested it, so it's all theory.)
Watch a movie or read a book. Make sure there have been bits you do not understand. When you are dreaming;
Dream a house. Say "I am going to walk into that house, and sit down with the author of that movie/book".
Walk inside and discuss the movie/book. Ask about the bits you didn't understand and, in theory, the 'author' aka your subconcious, will tell you the answer.
Yes, you can't receive new information in your dreams. If you don't know calculus, I doubt you could learn calculus by LDing.
About attaining new information in dreams....
I am learning sign language (ASL) and I had a dream two nights ago in which I was "talking" with a deaf woman and she actually helped me with my signing. She even taught me a few signs I didn't know. When I woke up I just figured it was an interesting dream. But when I studied more signs the next day I found the ones she had taught me. Signs I had never seen or used before that. Honestly, I don't know how to explain this dream.
I would think you had actually seen them before. On TV, in a book, used by someone else etc,
Except, you had forgotten about it, and in your dream, your subconcious remembered and showed you in the form of a DC.
