I was trying to explain to my brother how good lucid dreaming is and get him to try it out. But he said what is the point, I can just close my eyes and imagine/visualize or daydream it and it will be just as good and easier. I tried to explain the difference but couldn't.
So what do you think the difference between the two is?
How can I explain it?
Has your brother seen the Matrix? Explain that it is indistinguishable from reality, except to the trained observer. Huge Matrix examples for you to draw from.
Mainly, you get to experience everything first hand compared to visualising. As the name suggests, you only really get to use one sense in visualisation. With lucid dreaming, not only do you get to create/manipulate almost every aspect but you get to feel everything as if it were real.
