Thread: Using Lucid Dreaming for Answers

I find this thread very interesting too. I had very few encounters with dream characters, my dream world seems to be lacking DCs or maybe I haven't look hard enough for them...
Either way I'm doing the same thing , my main goal is to have conversations with DCs.

OK i haven´t read the Whole thread sorry but this i my Opinion.

In My Lucid Dream i flew Over a Nearly perfect Rome, when someone would ask me how Romw Looks and where i which Monument and so on i could not tell..but in My Dream i Knew it so i think when we are in LD we have much more Information...maybe it has something to do with that we when we are awake only use 2-3% of our Brain...i think

I think that he believes that he flew over the real Rome and that he knew (paranormally?) how sights there were called, even though he didn't know about it in reality.

Nobody is ready to assume that, you just kept bumping into posts of such people by accident. I think that the subconscious is a big pile of suppressed contradicting thoughts and excessive ideas.

But to answer your question, maybe people who believe otherwise think that even if the subconscious is garbage it contains intuition, and pure intuition is always magically correct. Just an idea. I can make up no other reason to think that the subconsciousness can be clairvoyant.

We dont necessarily assume, but we wonder. Since we know much less about the subconscious mind, we throw around ideas and experiences which point to the direction that it can help with certain things, but these of course, are just theories. Its quite simple if you look at it this way: your subconscious mind is not as limited as your conscious mind which can allow you to understand or create certain things which you would not be able to in waking life. For example art. This is very well accepted that you can be more creative when asleep. Some psychiatrists attempt to reveal answers to patients via sleep or hypnotism. To help understand what is wrong, the cause of the problems, remember lost memories, all things which are occassionally blocked by our conscious mind for certain reasons or the body speaks to the subconscious mind much better than the conscious mind.

this is an incredibly widespread half-truth. what should be said is that we use 4-10 percent of our brain at any given time. let there be no mistake we use 100% of our brain, but we don't use the part that interprets sound for clicking our tongue together as an example. in other words we use it all just not all at once. our brain is specialized, like a computer. we wouldn't use a word program to play a video, but that doesn't mean we never use word. as for remembering something that you've never seen there are two possible explanations. 1. you've seen it and just don't remember or possibly 2. what ever u saw was vague and in ur waking state ur mind just filled in the blanks. this is called an autobiographical belief.
i think 2 is more likely because people have a hard time remembering dreams as it is leaving much interpretation to the brain. it may sound like a weird thing, but do a little research on long term memory and u will find that its not a very uncommon thing at all.
it would be nice to think we can remember things that we haven't experienced, but an ordinary explanation is far more likely then an extraordinary one.

some interesting articles about how much we can trust our own memory are below.

I have seen many posts like this pop up since I've come to this forum. But never have i seen the question that really should be asked when asking something like this. What makes ur unconscious mind any better a observer or explainer of the world then the conscious mind?
