Thread: Simulated lucidity ( dreaming of having a lucid dream)

But do you really think that your definition of rl:

The same analytical conscious mind that is present during waking life becomes present during a dream.

works for low-lucidity-rl's as well? I'm pretty sure I can be lucid and do what I've planed to do without being fully as analytical as in waking life.

Yes my definition works for low lucidity... Take sickness as an example.

In real life when your sick you can't fully think correctly. Your a lot slower and can't often make up your mind about basic things. A low lucidity lucid dream could be thought of as a lucid dream in which the concious mind is having difficulty fully focusing in a nonphysical environment. Your brain is practically acting like a fish out of water within a lucid dream.

The physical brain is supposed to be used in a physical environment controlling a physical body. Your physical body collects physical data from your eyes, nose, ears and many other sensory organs. Within a lucid dream there is no physical data to collect. Where does this data that creates the dreamworld come from??? If there's no input why do we simply not see Or feel anything... It's a sensitive subject since many believe this data comes from real non-physical dimensions... I have not closed that possibility off but for the purpose of explaining simulated lucidity I am going to say that that your brain generates this input.

It's hard enough living in a world where our brains control our body but in a lucid dream your brain controls your body and your world... That's a lot of work!!! So obviously within a lucid dream your brain's preoccupied with creating the environment... You say something to someone in a dream and the reply is unexpected... Your brain is controlling these people and unexpected environments. In lucid dreaming your analytical concious mind is there but it's not working as well due to the massive amount of extra processing your subconscious is doing.

That's exactly the cause of low lucidity... Your brains doing much more processing and as a result your concious mind can't function as well. Bad functioning = low lucidity. That's why low lucidity often occurs when you talk to someone or fly over a huge landscape. The most lucid dreams occur in your own dream bedroom by yourself which results in the least amount of processing by the subconscious.

Anyway good question, hope I helped
