Thread: How vivid are Lucid Dreams?

Let me just put it this way, my last LD felt so real I had to do a reality check twice. I watched my fingers pass through my palm and then I had to do it again because I could not believe how "real" it was.

When people say LD is more real then reality itself what they mean is your attention to detail is heightened. For example, lets say your staring at a plastic bottle in real life, it will simply seem like a plastic bottle and nothing special about it. Now lets say your staring at a plastic bottle in a LD, every detail about the bottle will pop out, like the grooves around the cap, the glare of the light pressing on the plastic, the condensation on the outside of the bottle. Its like your passively paying attention to all detail, that's why it feels more real then reality. Try focusing on the details of one object, now imagine effortlessly noticing this level of detail in everything around you simultaneously.
