I'm sure most of you know what I'm talking about already, and that many of you have experienced for yourselves this phenomenon of feeling as if your vivid lucid dreams have become 110% real. I've experienced it a couple times, and it made me wonder as to how this could be. How could something be more real than real life? When pondered in real life, it doesn't seem to make much sense, but when dreamt the experience is undeniable.

One explanation is that it's some kind of spiritual experience, accessing another plane of existence or some kind of stuff like that, but I think there are many other possible reasons for this experience. I think perhaps, that the imperfections in our sensory organs are an impediment to experiencing normal life at such a high level of vividness as we can in our lucid dreams. Since we really do see, hear, taste, smell, and feel with our brains, not our sensory organs, any minor damage sustained by them can downgrade the quality of information we receive over time from normal wear and tear, and when the information is fed to us by the subconscious instead of the sensory organs, it's absolutely perfect and as it's meant to be in the state of super vividness some lucid dreams seem to have. So, we can "see" and "feel" the details and nuances of objects more clearly in dreams than in real life.

Another possible reason could be the fact that since the lucid dream world is in fact a construct of the mind, that we're 100% focused on every aspect of it in the lucid dream. It might be as if we are simply at a very high state of awareness to our environment, since there's nothing in it beyond our capacity to be aware of.

What do the rest of you think?
