Thread: Waking Life vs. Lucidity

Okay, so I don't know if I'm the only person here to have thought this. Probably yes. I don't even know if this makes any sense - it does in my head though.

But as I was going through my school books just now I picked up a piece of paper that was a history worksheet. So I picked up my history exercise book and threw the paper inside, however, after about two seconds I realised it was in fact my English book. A simple case of absent-mindedness, right? Yes.

But this made me wonder, because you know when you're having a non-lucid dream, you're basically in the same mind state as when you're doing something absent-mindedly in real life. I know I am.
When you become lucid, your conscious just focuses its attention onto the dream.

So, I was thinking, I could have lucid dreams and non-lucid dreams, as well as, it struck me, essentially lucid life and non-lucid life.
The only difference being, well, waking life is a shared reality which society accepted as THE reality. That and the fact that it is more common to be lucid in waking life than it is in a dream.

This is just an interesting thought I had, and decided to share it.
