I have a lot of questions as to the rational (i.e. Investigated on) part of lucid dreams, and ill try and keep this short and in a list:
- What parts of the brain are most active during lucid dreams?
- Is intelligence (IQ) in anyway related to lucid dreaming?
- Does a higher level of intelligence mean higher vividness in lucid dreams?
- Can pain in lucid dreams leave sores on the physical body?
Interesting questions. To answer number 4, no. Like with non-lucid dreams, no injuries sustained in dreams can carry over to real life.
1. All the same parts as when you are normally dreaming but the logic center is acitvated as well. I'm not sure what the technical term for it is.
2. No. Whatever your intelligence is, you will have about the same difficulty/ease at lucid dreaming as somebody with a high I.Q. Although it does vary in different people, even if they have the same I.Q.
3. Once again, no. Intelligence has no effect on dream vividness, only what is in the dream. I.E. a perosn with a high I.Q. will likely have smarter DCs than somebody with a lower I.Q. but the dream itself doesn't reakky change.
4. No. Anything that happens in lucid dreams has no effect on the physical body except for mental feelings/nerves. The nerves to get stronger though, since the brain is still sending messages throughout your body, just you are in SP so you don't actually move.
Hope I helped and if anyone knows differently, please speak up.
I think the only level in which intelligence would matter with lucid dreaming would be the difference between Genius, and a monkey lol... a monkey may not be smart enough to lucid dream... but for the average person, lucid dreaming is all the same regardless of intelligence..
