Thread: Are Lucid dreams better than video games?

Wait what Half-life 2?? I think you meant Half-life 3 ( IF it ever comes out anyways). But short answer to the question "Is lucid dreams better than videogames?" is : YES. Any videogame will never be as great as a vivid,balanced and controlled lucid dream unless we find a way to transfer our consciousness inside to the game. Of course you can't (as well as I know) share lucid dreams with others so there is lack of interaction with other people since you're basically... alone. Since near anything is possible ( Its up to your imagination) in a dream such as flying, going to great battles of Middle-Earth, visiting other planets etc. I think that the question it self is kinda dumb haha, in a dream you really are THERE, in the action, but when playing a videogame you're just controlling your character and you can't taste,smell or touch the environment at all. And whilst lucid you see everything "completely" three-dimensional. You can also have spiritual experiences in dreams. Trust me, you won't be thinking whether games are better or lucid dreams after you have a ten-minute, waking life real, balanced and controlled lucid dream. Well, also people have different interests, if you love gaming but hate sleeping and dreams, well, then it's different. I hope someone sums this up better than I did
