Thread: Perception of Time experiments.

Only problem is, it wouldn't actually have hardships. You're lucid, and I doubt you'd have the patience to not skip the hardships with lucidity, and if you did you probably wouldn't needs to learn from the hardships in the first place.

Well if someone really wants to follow the plot of the story, they could possibly go through the hardships. It just depends on the persons willpower and how badly they want to keep to the story line. But i can see what your saying. If someone already knows what difficult parts are going to happen, they might find and easy way out, thus not staying on track with the plot. Its an interesting idea, and I've always wanted to do it myself, but never been able to stay lucid long enough. I'd probably think of my own story line and then let my subconscious take me on well hell of a ride lol.

That seems to be a matter of personality. I always have dreams that end in a life-death struggle. For instance, last night was a headcrab invasion. While I can't use that for my next bit, I'll use another one.

I had a shootout with some terrorists in a cafeteria once. I was in total control of the dream. After being shot, rather than just magically healing it as I did the others, I said "Hurts like a bitch, but let's see what it's like." and continued the course of the dream crippled. I woke up in about ten minutes so I can't say I wouldn't have skipped the months of healing.

Simply in agreement.
