I don't know who else saw it, but there was a special program about the brain. About ten to fifteen minutes or so was dedicated to sleep and (lucid!) dreams. Stephen LaBerge was even interviewed when the subject turned to lucid dreaming! It wasn't too enlightening, basically everything I've learned here.
But it did tell me something I didn't know, which explains why lucids are so damn hard. When we go to sleep, our brain turns off our logic center. With this information, I wonder if there is a different angle we could approach lucid dreaming. Is there is some sort of way to keep the logic center on? Maybe we should do critical thinking as we fall asleep or something? :S
The show also said (according to theory) that dreams are what help us remember things. It's filing things away. If this is true, would constant lucid dreaming affect our memory?
Anyways, I thought I would point this out. I know anyone here would find the program fascinating. I'm sure they'll show re-runs in the future, so tune in!
