Thread: Subconsciousness

I think we become more or less conscious, however when awake our brain creates some kind of chemical or something that prevents hallucinations and we can only truly visualize very vaguely, but as we are dreaming it's like we woke up and are interacting in the dreams, in other words I don't know. I think the consciousness and subconsiousness, but the only thing that has changed is that now, since we are no longer "deluded" this interaction can now occur on our terms and not the subconsciousness terms, then again I don't think it had any inclination to control us to begin with per say, more a case of us being completely ignorant of what's going on around us. If children were taught to LD from birth this wouldn't be an issue as we'd always be lucid more or less.

I say we interact, after all dreams are the place of the subconcious.

I'd say we start to interact. I don't see the subconscious as another being. It could be seen as one, but I see it as a complex system of storage and functions, which are revealed so directly in dreams. It's what makes me me, but what I'm not at the core - the consciousness, soul, whatever.

In my opinion, LDing is mostly conscious with some subconscious. To me, our conscious is choosing what to do and is able to choose and make the environment sometimes while the subconscious fills in all of the missing parts.

Absolutely - interacting

think of this scenario

You're lucid and think..I WANT A SUPER COOL BIKE! So you imagine a hot red super cool bike, wave your finger and poof one appears........But look at all those details. You conscious imagination of the red bike was fuzzy, abstract.

Your subconscious did the real magic and turned your fuzzy idea into something 3D

It's not exactly taking 'control', your subconscious can still express it's creativity
