How would an LD render a large crowd of people?

[Elkfazer]

I don't know why, but this crossed my mind as in most of my normal dreams I never seem to see a lot of people in them, possible about 7 to 10 max, and that's mostly down to my dreams being in relatively closed spaces such as workplaces or houses etc. This being the case, how would my mind react if I lucidly transported myself to a really large sporting event, such as the Indy 500? I mean, there'd be literally thousands of people there normally to make up the crowd, but can our minds create such a scene and if not, would it top-out on a relatively small number of people that the mind could handle more easily? I keep thinking of being in such a place and then imagining myself looking around the spectators in the crowd and seeing nothing but perhaps early playstation 2D type of people with flat faces ( ie: Any early FIFA game ), very little detail and all wearing the same clothes, lol. Maybe this could be a lucid challenge if you like, unless someone has actually been in this situation and could verify that the brain doesn't have any problems dealing with huge numbers of individuals. I think I need sleep now because I'm thinking up weird stuff, lol.

I've been to two Areosmith concerts in my dreams, no problems with large crowds of people.

[Bonsay]

I don't have crowd problems either.

I've been to two Areosmith concerts in my dreams, no problems with large crowds of people. Cool! thank you, but can you say how clearly defined they were? I mean, from a distance they looked fine but up close if you were to walk around in the the crowd would they all appear to be different characters? I guess from some of your previous threads on how the mind works then maybe you only bring into detail that what you're focused on and not necessarily the peripheral vision?

[DarkLucideity]

Yeah, it's hard to imagine your mind rendering huge detailed scenes if you think of it graphics-wise. However, dreams can recreate pretty much anything with hardly any effort. I mean, imagine yourself standing in a crowd, that's all your brain does.

[The Cusp]

I was right in the middle of the crowd close to the stage. They were all well defined. Hot chicks, old hippies, the sweaty guy with no shirt that rubs up against you. Everything I'd expect to find at a concert.
