Thread: Great thinkers, dear dreamers, how can we be sure lucidity is real?

What's funny is that the same logic can be used to reality.

How do you know you are awake right now or how do you even know that you are aware of being awake right now? Perhaps you are totally in your head thinking and thinking and your awareness is elsewhere. Have you ever experienced driving to work, thinking so much so that when you then stepped out of your car you think to yourself "Wow how did I get here?".

After 20 min of meditation and when your mind is free from the thoughts that blocked you from truly be aware of the moment right now, you realize that you were not even present.

And you "wake up" totally aware, just like a lucid dream.

There are some dreams where you say to yourself that you were aware, only to wake up to realize that you really weren't, and there are some days in your life where you say that you aren't in your head with your thoughts, only to wake up (after meditation) to realize that you really weren't.

However, there are some dreams and waking moments in the waking reality where you are fully present and aware and you are in the moment, in the now.

Wake up!
