Reality is just your perception of the world. Take blind people for example, color isn't reality for them. |

Okay, here's my theory. Dreaming is the default state instead of reality (perception-wise). Before you do anything you wouldn't do in waking-life (stepping away from "reality") or would rather be doing something else in your dream, do an RC to see which rules to abide by. Here is my logic behind this: |

Lucid Goals
Short term
convince a dc they're in a dream, get high, go swimming
Long Term
have a deild, continue a relationship, stop time
I think I've got it almost working. |

wow is because of my subject, not your topic or whatever ... also little drunk... |

Interesting. I will now try to patch those holes in my logic. |

I think what he's trying to say is, you shouldn't try to get yourself in the mindset that you're always dreaming. I agree, if you actually train your mind to always assume you're dreaming, you may do something dangerous. Although I'm not sure that's even possible, whenever I do a reality check, I'm pretty sure I'm awake. The problem is, in a dream, I never question my reality. The fact that I am able to question my reality at all is a likely sign that I am awake. |

The greatest hole in one's logic is usually the one so big, they just don't see it. Names are conventional. The first principle of logic, which is never taught, is that there is no theory, statement, idea, worth a damn, if the construction violates the original naming convention. Good thing people are generally too asleep to even realize that language rests upon a convention of names. |

I've read so many stories of people doing an RC in the dream, say they are dreaming, and then proceed to nonlucid dream. That's why skepticism is important. |

I think your mindset is a good one to have. I wouldn't worry about doing something dangerous in real life because you thought it was a dream. The odds of that happening are astronomically low. I might just steal your idea now!....just need an architect, chemist, and few other things...lol |

The logic I use is simply to realize how often I am "certain" that I am awake, and then it turns out I am in a dream. Thinking about that, I have no problem being skeptical of reality. I have trained myself to think of dreaming as the most likely reason for unusual things that happen, because most of the time unusual things that happen are happening in dreams. You just have to look at the big picture. 50% of the time when I go to class or use a public restroom it is a dream, so the logical thing is to think that it may very well be a dream. Going to my former university is a dream 90% of the time, so when I visit in real life my first thought upon going through the door is "I am pretty sure that this is a dream". |

I was in a dream recently where i was talking to 2 friends, one had recently died (hadn't seen him in 20 years, but found out he was dead a few weeks ago) the other was not. I realized in the dream that one of them was dead and i couldn't be in reality so i must be dreaming. Realizing this went outside where another old friend of mine comes up to me and says "hey man whats up". I said "Gregg, when's your birthday?" i personally did not know it, but i figured if the person i was talking to was real, he would know their own B day. he of course did not or coulnd't answer since in reality I didnt know? upon which i told him we were in a dream. He didn't get it and stormed off pissed i told him he wasn't real. The dream gets freakier after that but i wont get into it here. |
