Thread: Why Lucid Dreaming

I think that as the human race gets older, we acquire more brainpower. Why, some say that thousands of years ago, the concept of 'consciouness' didn't even exist! These days, we have philosophers galore, we explore consciousness deeper and deeper and keep coming up with new ideas. We also gain more abilities, ie Lucid Dreaming. To me, lucid dreaming is a skill (which I haven't quite mastered yet ;D). *

Anyway, it's a good question to ask what it is that attracts us to dreaming. For me, I was simply so amazed that I'd never heard of it before that I had to try it myself to see if it was real.

hey wait... if consciousness wasn't in existance thousands of years ago, who's aristotle? and plato? and socrates? and the chinese ppls? just a thought.
