Thread: Who is the dreamer when you are not lucid?

I mean all dreams, lucid or not are both real and not real, it depends how you apply the definition of the word.

If you mean real by the persistent waking reality that we experience outside of the dream state, then no. As far as modern science is concerned dreams have no perceivable impact on the waking world. (You could be pedantic and say they do in the sense of possibly affecting your brain, not any major effects.) If by real you mean real by the standards of your personal consciousness, perceptions and memories, then yes, dreams are very real.

A lucid dream might feel more realistic, in that through using dream stabilization or simply being lucid in the dream and able to choose how to interact with it can make the experience more vivid and lifelike.

Thanks.

Yes - I suspect non-lucid dreams are just as real as lucid ones.
Subjectively, anything which one experiences can be considered to being real.
