Just a quick question thats been in the back of my head today. Say thoseof you reading this. You prolly dont know me, but if you happened to see my dc would it be any thing like me. Or would it be what you think of me... if you catch my drift. Just curious.Thanks.
It would certainly be what we think of you. Of course, if we had seen several pictures, talked to you, and interacted with you for an extended period of time, it would be really, really close to reality.
I agree with Seeker.
Being lucid doesn't make you psychic so that you can acurately "picture" people you've never met.. but through your exposure to people via their postings and online photos, you should be able to envision how they might look in real life.
.
It does, however, let you remember the faces of those who you have long forgotten. I can see old friends and relatives in dreams perfectly, but upon awaking find it hard to picture their face.
ok so i guess same goes with places (I.e if i went to niagra falls (never been there) but ive seen pictures it would be what i know right, not the actual thing?
even if you go in Niagara Falls for real you still won't have the perfect picture.
If you dream at your house, you will see its different in its details. Bathroom not at the same place for example. However you are positive it is your house your dreaming about. Why? Because you feel it. Instinctively you made the conclusion its your house without even looking at it. Then the brain process the information and will try to make it realistic. Exactly if I ask you to draw your house on a piece of paper. You will do some little mistakes and be wrong in some positioning, but don’t forget that in a dream the brain as to draw a picture of the house instantly. People that say it reproduces PERFECTLY at 100% the elements aren't being honest. It is just impossible for your brain.
Here is a clear proof of the importance of feelings in a dream and how it can easily brings to confusion if you pay too much attention on the image rather then on the feeling.
Sometimes I dream about my brother and the face I see is one of my best friends. So if I dream about you my brain will make any random image, but Ill know its you by instinct. WIch won't happen anyway because I don't know you.
But I did dreamed about people I met over the internet without seeing their faces. They were in my gaming clan and after a couple of months they all had their personality, thats how I recognised who was who. Other then that they were just 3d gaming characters lol..
Could be your avatar that we would dream of, but you dont even have one !
Yeah emotions play a big part, but if you know what something looks like or have a pretty good idea of what it looks like your brain will replicate it to a good extent filling in the blanks on it's own. Although also like said I was at a friends house and was positive it was his house, but when I woke up I remember that it was nothing like his house.Quote:
