Does it feel that real? |
|
I havn't seen vanilla sky but your dreams are incredibly vivid and realistic with complete control if you practice enough. A reason you lose lucidity which is very commen is because it seems so real you forget it's a dream. |
|
no |
|
maybe the last scene of Vanilla Sky. (when he's on the rooftop). |
|
I believe it only feels real because your mind is free thinking and all knowledge of reality goes out the window. I've had dreams where I could fly, or have super strength, or breathe underwater, and never even had a second thought of "I can't do this in RL" lol (The breathing underwater thing I had when I was younger and I actually tried while in a pool [in my dream it was more like a fish opening its mouth and I breathed that way, so when I was actually in a pool, I just did the motions like a fish and it didn't work, but I could've sworn it was real]). However, that's the trick to becoming lucid is to recognize that what your doing doesn't make sense and that you must be dreaming |

In Vanilla Sky, it was technology that induced tom cruise into the dream. it was so vidid for him that he thought it was real, yes you could call it a dream, but as stated above because he didnt know it was a dream you cannot call it lucid. but i still think it is, i think because he is conscious and believes everything is real, he is lucid. you'll notice he did some reality checks of his own. e.g. he looked at penelope cruz, looked away, and when he looked back it was cameron diaz. then when he looked in the mirror, he was deformed, and when he looked back, he was normal. pretty cool eh. he even had a dream guide! |

I'd compare LD-ing more to the matrix. You realise everything around you is fake, and you are "the one", all powerful and in charge. |

TAKE DV members advice with caution! some have had zero or 1-2 LD's yet act like gurus
TOTAL LD's (almost all DILD/MILD) =160!!
new goals: have more LD's than Shift[X]
10-15min LD [ X] Article: A day in the life of an LD-er
the "Mind V.S. Body" Induction technique
Everyman 2 LD's/ sleep schedule progress
mmmmm would agree to an extent yuri. with the matrix, although the likes of morpheus trinity etc. etc. knew that the matrix wasn't real, they still had to act by certain physical and gravitational rules. they couldnt do anything that was impossible really, e.g. fly. neo of course was an enomoly, he was the only one that could bend the rules of the matrix. with vanilla sky, ONCE tom cruise realised he was in the dream, as told by his dream guide, he had control of his destiny, and finally chose to wake up. i loved the "vanilla sky" in that ending scene, beautiful. |

oh sorry, i reread your post, forgot you were just talking about neo. sorry! |

You'll also notice that it wasn't until the end of the film, when he finally realises he is in a dream, he has complete control of it. the same for us when we become lucid. anything before that final scene was his subconsious creating a dream for him. then, like ourselves, he realises he is in a dream and takes control. |
|
More or less, yes. It is the same as it was in the movie. The concept is the same (once he came to realize it was all an illusion, he was free to take the reins), and the level of vividness is often the same. |
