Hey, I watch that every week; cool.... wait a second... It was supposed to be about the "use of 'induced lucid dreaming' into a video game context?" I thought I was just forming that impression out of my own LDer bias; that only makes it better, knowing that was intended.
You do? Nice No clue in all honestly....probably just my confirmation bias talking, because I found nothing about the author's inspiration. It's easy to many "possible" references to lucid dreaming in the anime though, that's why I went a bit ahead of myself by talking about it like that :x One of the biggest moments that relate to lucid dreaming imo is when the main character is against the "killing of non-playable characters". If we advocate for dream characters to be mere mental representations (as intelligent and "alive" they might seem), then we could point him out as "not so lucid", because he doesn't understand that there are no consequences in that "killing". Or maybe he has a whole different reason 0o

Really - simply hit return again and again?
Is this, what happens to everybody after a bit of more experience?
forget temptation, let's just go straight to irresistible need -- would not only cause unprepared sandbox diggers to produce loops of their favorite moments (I'm having memories of a certain scene from the movie "Brainstorms," BTW), but that would be all they would produce, eschewing any real creativity or inward exploration in the name of those simply-filled desires... the roots of addiction indeed!
It kinda reminds me of that experiment with the pleasure center, where the rat just kept pushing the lewer to get a huge pleasure. One thing I wonder though: could you really get addicted to a specific memory in a lucid dream? I mean, wouldn't you get bored of reliving your best birthday over and over, in the same way as you build tolerance for a drug? Desensitization would be inevitable. But to again dwell in the dangerous powers of lucid dreaming, we're not talking about a single memory. Because the deterministic level of the experience is almost non-existant right? I read a book and interpret the story, but I can only go from there. As for a lucid dream, I can literally change every single element that compose the experience and twist until it satisfies me. But that has to end at some point right? Which brings us to a big question: if you were omni-potent, could you be happy?

"Specific elements-seeking" - could you do me the favour and define or describe this for me, please?
Sounds interesting.
Everyone is influenced by some specific desires when they start lucid dreaming. The most famous one is probably the sexual drive, which can actually become an obstacle to many people. Others simply get engaged on the moment (especially if it relates to some sort of adrenalish rush scenario), but this all amounts to what Robert Waggoner defined as "Lucid Zombie" Here you can find the article about this (I think somewhat underrated!) obstacle to lucid dreaming improvement. It's on page 17 btw.

So then it is important to take care not to substitute real life quality with LD, but to enrich and enlarge and expand it.
But I am too much of a novice to have an adequate idea.
*Deletes previous big answer, and thinks about it a bit more* I'd say you define what's important in a lucid dream, but surely (can we say "surely" Sageous? I'd like to think yes, and that it's not some other psychological factor that is really responsible for it) there are many more advantages when you tackle lucid dreaming as a tool for personal growth and transcendence. We know for sure that lucid dreaming has a positive indirect effect on the brain (mindfulness and/or meditation), but where to go from there...I guess only you can answer yourself in this one

(maybe a discussion for other topic, but could lucid dreaming be the ultimate self-affirmation tool? If you're largerly defined by your experiences, who are you once you define your own experiences? I'd say you would be something like this:



It may seem that this is already happens with life, but like mentioned above, this would be essentially determinism-free, which could produce way more radical changes)

Do you not feel lonely, in a way - can that be completely over-ridden? Or is it maybe even regularly over-ridden?
I'm not completely sure I understood the question, so let me know if not. Do you mean to be able to abstract yourself in the dream while lucid? Well, that is certainly present in some part of the way (especially in the beginning, when people tend to distantiate themselves so much from the dream they end waking up), and I think that to some degree you are indeed lonely, but maybe it's a matter of perspective you know? I mean, yes, I doubt anyone can grasp my experiences, but like this great quote from waking life:

What is like... frustration? Or what is anger or love? When I say love, the sound comes out of my mouth and it hits the other person's ear, travels through this byzantine conduit in their brain through their memories of love or lack of love, and they register what I'm saying and they say yes, they understand. But how do I know they understand? Because words are inert. They're just symbols. They're dead, you know? And so much of our experience is intangible. So much of what we perceive cannot be expressed. It's unspeakable.

I guess I like to pretend that there is a place for everything, and maybe it's actually nice to have your own corner of the universe. How do you people feel about this?

And - do you mean to go into a sort of half-lucidity - you steer yourself into your favoured setting and then let the notion, that you are dreaming slip from the scheme?
Yes, to some point. It reminds me of this topic in some way. It's more like you stretch the concept of lucidity, "knowing you are dreaming" >>>><<<<<< "understanding you are dreaming". This alone can have significant impact on things like dream control, immersion, and even perception of the whole experience (and what it means). I gotta wrap this up though, I'm late for work xD
