Thread: How do dreams fool you?

I wish some scientist would hurry up and figure out this stuff. It pisses me off that we are wired to not be lucid in dreams, our logic center is turned off, but whoever made us able to dream i wanna ask wtf is your problem guy? It almost enrages me, its like a dirty trick...

"We give you the power to dream, in your own fantasy land but NO, FREE WILL IS A NO NO!"

I wouldn't say your logic is turned off, because there is still alot of logic involved. Though obviously it does suffer a bit. I would say your self awareness takes the biggest hit though. Which is why you can dream that you are someone totally different and even have fake memories and stuff and not notice. Heck you can have a dream and not even have a body.

It kind of makes sense though. Since you are everything in your dream, it makes sense that you would spread your awareness between everything in the dream. When you put your awareness into just one dream character your actually limiting yourself a lot.

Most dream signs and stuff that causes reality checks are based off recgonizing patterns, not off logic.

While sometimes we may indeed become lucid by some innate revelation, mostly all these times you "use your great intellect to realize you're dreaming" are actually the result of the conditioning/techniques you use before sleep- think of pre-sleep and indeed the entire day as a test and sleep as the exam.
