      Acting Out your dreams in waking life

      So I'm watching an episode of NOVA right now about dreams, and they were doing studies on cats and dogs. They disabled the part of their brain which paralyzed their body during REM sleep and saw the cats doing shit they'd most likely be doing in their dreams.

      And then they were talking about humans doing it. Now, bear with me here, what if we could become lucid, be able to disengage the paralysis, and act out our lucid dreams in waking life?

      I have a lot of dreams that I do parkour and go around doing a bunch of acrobatic flips. Not to mention my TigerWalk™ thing in dreams.

      I think that, like how lucid dreaming was researched and stuff, maybe one day we'll figure out how to only live in our dreams. <-- That shit cray

      We probably wouldn't be aware of what we are doing and would probably be flapping our arms around/humping your roommate.

      Could you please tell me the name of the episode? I don't have Netflix so I'll probably end up torrenting it.

      It's a recognized sleeping disorder called "rapid eye movement behavior disorder".
      It's caused by a loss of muscle atonia (sleep paralysis) during REM sleep.

      People who have this will indeed act out their dreams in waking life, and can end up injuring themselves or their bed partners in the process.
      Dreams are simple.
      It's the painfully simple things the human mind cannot comprehend.
      After all your mind is trained to understand the complexity of the waking world,
      not the simplicity of the dream world.

      I think it's better we can't act out our dreams. Even if you were able to unhinge your body for paralysis, you still wouldn't be able to see where you were going. LOL! You would probably end up crashing into a wall or something. It is a cool idea. If you have the layout of your house memorized, I guess you could learn to walk around in it.

      I am more worried about jumping down from a building than crashing into walls.
