Thread: All to real to be unreal

It was a realistic dream.
During my most vivid lucid dream I have taken the time to study the textures, smells, details, tastes, sounds, and everything else from my dreams. Some of them have been absolutely and completely real to me. I remember looking out across my lawn and seeing millions of individual blades of grass.
How can it be possible for my brain to process this kind of detail in a dream?
The same way it's possible for me to process this kind of detail in real life. "The world" around us is nothing more than our brain's interpretation of our surroundings. Because of that, a dream can be every bit as realistic as real life, and even more so.

I'm not trying to make light of what you are saying.
I, even more than the average person I meet, knows just how damned real everything can look and feel. This is what makes lucid dreaming so fascinating to me.
