Can you create an experience out of nothing?
Hi, my name's Amanda. I've been finding myself having a hard time to create something I've never seen or done before in a lucid dream, even though I pride myself on my imagination.
Example, last night I became lucid and decided to go scuba diving in Bermuda. I've never been to Bermuda, so all I could sum up was some sand and a palm tree. Then I managed to feel as if I was swimming, but I couldn't see anything. I could feel the flippers on my feet, I suppose because once when I was a kid I wore flippers in a pool, but I couldn't see. I've watched enough scuba diving videos, but I guess it wasn't enough.
That said, I've never flown before and I've done plenty of that in my lucid dreams. Anyone have experience with this? Is there a way to overcome this other than experiencing it in real life?
