Thread: The Origin of where Lucid Dreams come from?

You lucid dream FAR before you have experience with any sort of drug, alcohol, or stress. Animals also lucid dream. Example: ever seen a dog "run" in its sleep? A dog may be dreaming, and you'll see it's paws twitching -- that's the dog "running," but it can't full out run because it's in sleep paralysis.

The "cryptic" messages from DCs are just your subconscious talking to you, representing itself in human form, or it's a character you know/a character you stereotype and the things it says/things it does is just your mind reflecting your own beliefs on what that character would act like.

There's three main theories on why we dream. I can't exactly remember them, but it's like -- one is problem solving, two is re-organizing information, and the third is...i forgot :\

You must understand: a lucid dream is just a dream in which we recognize we're dreaming. A dream is based on the theories above. Freud also thought that dreaming was a way for us to sleep and concentrate on sleeping without being awoken from extrenal stimuli.

So i dunno what answer you're really looking for, but dreaming is a natural phenomenon. Lucid dreaming is a result of recognizing you're dreaming, which can be trained. The "mind coping with disaster" thing you stated is close, but that's not the primary role of dreaming.

I don't think so, lucid dreaming is basically the same as normal dreaming, you just have slightly higher awareness.

As far as I know,dogs do NOT lucid dream.They definitely dream,but they are 100% convinced that its real while they are dreaming.They don't know they are dreaming.

Lucid dreaming is an amazing phenomenom..It just shows the power of the brain,I suppose.

THE 3RD REASON WHY WE DREAM IS TOO REMEMBER WHAT WE FORGOT, NO IRONY/PUN INTENDED
