Thread: Highest level of vividness?

My best vivid dream (while lucid) was when I was looking at the forest behind my house. No trees had leaves; I felt a cool breeze; and I simply stood there almost the whole time completely obliterated that my mind created it all. It looked as if I was awake. I couldn't find an error in any of the trees' structures. The sky was blue with clouds; just amazing.

It's amazing how sharp your mind develops your dreams.

My most vivid dream ever was tonight. I freaked out a flatmate by acting strangely when I did wake up and have breakfast. It took a while to be convinced reality was real.

...Or is it?

*Reality check*

Id say all dreams are different for me. Some super vivid, some not so. The super vivid ones being a little more infrequent.

The most 'vivid-feeling' dreams I've had were when I felt like I had met a kind of 'spirit guide' in a dream. Again, I read a lot of new-age hooey, so forgive me if my brain sounds soft, but I do like to beleive that guides exist.

Anyway - one such dream, I was walking with a little boy (I'm a grown woman) and he invited me on an adventure. He told me though that if I died in the dream I would die in real life. And I asked him, "Can't you protect me?" and he said, "If I did, I'd be moot."

It was weird, but at the same time, I realized I was dreaming - but wanted to be VERY careful in the dream just in case something I did affected my waking life.

I've died in dreams before, or been dismembered - and not worried about it (unpleasant, yes, but not too scary). But this dream felt different somehow, and the feeling that I knew I was dreaming made it stranger still.

(And I've wanted to meet the boy again in my dreams, but I haven't seen him since. Prankster )

For me, as opposed to saying something like, not just vivid, but supercrazyamazing vivid or even something more extreme than that whatever, for me, all of my dreams (and visualizations / imagination / daydreaming) for that matter is indistinguishable from reality. I don't think you can get any higher than literally the same quality as reality and that is what I get every time. Obviously, I am a very visual person though. English is a second language to be which is translated into visualizations so perhaps my brian is a little more in tune to the right hemisphere.
