Thread: Very Interesting Theory

That's true.
I was just playing FFVA. Lotsa fantasy in there.
If I was dreaming and I cast "Fira" on somebody, I prolly wouldn't notice it as much on account on the fact that I'm quite accustomed to attacking my enemies with magic =P.

Yea i play oblivion alot and last night i had a dream very similar to the story line and i thought i was the main character, and i still couldn't become lucid
i stopped playin games for a while so i could get better at lding

This happens to me a lot. Typically I'll be midway between just playing the game and being inside the game. Like controlling a character out of body, instead of outside the environment with a controller. Recently I had series of non-lucids (upon waking up, I could control going back to the same place when I fell asleep again) where in some of the segments I guided wolf link/midna, which wasn't distinguished as not being myself, from a perspective just outside of them/me. Being enough like actually playing TP (the interaction mechanics were in place, like the distance you can jump off ledges), it didn't help me think I was dreaming.

I think your dreams will twist whatever circumstances (playing or not playing games) into just as effective anti-lucidity obstacles...

I have a similar problem. partly from playing video games and watching movies, but also because I believe that almost anything is possible. So when I find myself flying in a dream I think 'finally, i figured out how to fly in waking life'. When something strange happens, my first thought isn't 'I must be dreaming' , it's 'I knew that was possible.'

Exactly!!
If you decide not to play video games, you'll be all "Ok, I won't play video games, so now I'll have more chances to have a lucid dream", then your sub. mind will be all
"Nuh-huh! You think yer all smart liek dat?" and your own thoughts of not using in order to gain will reverse since you'd be thinking about it.

The only way would be to completely remove the memory.

Man...I wish I could perform controlled amnesia =(
