Lucid Dreaming As A New and Developing Evolutionary Trait
So, I'm not sure if this is the right place to post a question like this, but when considering that consciousness has developed as an evolutionary trait (I may be terribly wrong about evolution during this post, so just bear with me) could lucid dreaming be the beginning of the next step of higher consciousness? As in, the first step is that we just gain awareness, then language, society, ect, our consciousness and minds keep getting better and better it seems. So, the next step could possibly be more control over our minds, or even total control, as seen in lucid dreaming. Could, possibly, in 200, 300, 1000 years, humans are able to "lucid dream" on demand, along with who knows what, due to our brains having developed more and more? Could lucid dreaming be a precursor of things to come?
