Thread: Would it make a difference?

That's an interesting question. I now wonder that, too.

I could be a test person, but I always chicken out.

They couldn't measure consciousness (I think), but they would detect changes in brainwaves... Unless they decided on a sign, to tell the observers that he was conscious, they couldn't know that he was WILDing.

Hmm, interesting.

The thought just popped into my head. Any other answers? ;o

Like Bonsay said I don't they can't see how consciouse you are. Though maybe they could see with the Activity in Brainwaves while your asleep to tell if you're more so Awake "Wilding" within the dream. Though, I doubt it.

I don't think there are any significant differences in brain waves between normal and lucid dreams, but your eyes will move like they are in the dream. So, a dreamer could decide an eye movement patern to signal lucidity like moving the eyes left and right 10 times. This is how people have proved that lucid dreaming exists.

I've heard they can detect which areas of your brain are active when you think of say, a banana. So what they could do is have you think of a banana while awake, then record the pattern. Then when you're lucid, start thinking of bananas, and there you have proof.
