Technically, that would fall under "Dream Control". Lucid dreaming is simply being aware that you are indeed dreaming, whether you take control of the dream or not.Quote:

If a Dream is a Game tha Lucid Dreaming would be Cheating and gaining access to the console. From there you can type any command and it'll be there.
Spawn (Dream) Character, Level Select (Dream Scene)....only Dreams are not limited to a programmed script but to your imagination: that brings near-endless possibilities for me in Dreams. :wink:
I'd say dreaming were more like 'Second Life'. www.secondlife.com
Welcome to the forums Mr Neo.
Yeah, it's kinda like Dream Hacking. ;)
I guess you could call it that, that's a pretty good description if you think about it, though I just like to think of it as a my own little world in my mind...Quote:

I sort of think of Lding as creating your reality.
Nah because cheat codes are limited to whatever cheats were predesigned and ANYTHING is possible in LDs ;)Quote:

Maybe if Neo could completely redesign the Matrix from within, not just hacking it but replacing it with something else entirely different (or atleast, with an entirely different Matrix), that would be more like it? :content:
I downloaded second life (cool game, though I wouldn't pay for premium), and I would say that dreaming is like second life on steroids. I mean, you can do anything on second life, but you have to work/pay to get it, and there's the problem of lag and face counts (blah, blah, blah). In dreaming, if you have good control, you don't have to pay a penny or work on creating stuff + scripts, you just want it and it happens, no loading, no lag, no limited resolutions, and the whole world is yours to freely use.Quote:
