Thread: The future of lucid dreams...

I dont think any machine could duplicate the way emotions are intergrated
into the dream enviornment. And for that reason alone, (at least for me) that
would make any artificial virtual world, a sorry alternative.

I beleive that Lucid dreaming, is a natural step in the process of evlolving
consciuosness. And that as time goes on, it will get easier, and more people
will be useing it as a tool for bettering there every day life.

A machine wouldn't have to incorporate emotions; you would do that regardless.

Okay, but that doesn't matter. My point is, the real world doesn't supply emotions either. How you percieve things during your daily life is largely dependent on your mood and emotions. This doesn't change in dreams, and theres no reason why it would have to change in a virtual reality 'dream' either.

What I am talking about is, how in a dream your emotions are
reflected in the enviornment around you. your every changing
emotion alters the events, and scenes around you.
as for an example, in a nightmare, the more afraid you become,
the worse the nightmare gets. you lose your fear and vise versa.

Also for me , my emotions are reflected in the vivid brilliance of the detail
and colors. So that sometimes all I can do is stand there and look around
in pure wonder. I really doubt a machine could manufacture the same effect.

And there is also just the awsome feel to the dream world, that I know a machine would never get.

but I'm not saying it would not be fun anyway.

Well, if not a machine, then acid does it quite nicely.

LOL your right, but it's more harmful.
