Thread: Why is "everything", but dialating time possible in a lucid dream

Seems to me that if these "life review" accounts are true ??? then obviously our brains have the capacity to process a whole lifetime of events in a few seconds. I can't see why we can't dream a whole lifetime of events in a few seconds.

issue here is your assuming its our brains responsible. Science hasn't confirmed that consciousness is created by the brain, despite many attempts. More and more healthy skeptical scientists are gravitating towards the filter hypothesis, where the brain reduces and filters consciousness, like a TV set picks up signals from satellites or ground cables and filters and displays them. If you smash the Tv, you didn't erase the signal. Whats crazy is this hypothesis explains a lot that the brain based hypothesis can't and explains what the brain based one can as well. We don't know what consciousness is. People who have NDE's report linear time not existing at all, where they see feel and live they're whole life at the same time, in a totally paradoxical way, and they feel what the people and beings felt when they harmed them in some way, as a way of learning, etc etc. True NDE's change peoples lives and are very intense
