Thread: Lucid dreams vs. psychedelic trips

It's probably mainly expectations, since they play such a large part in such things with the dreaming mind.

Yeah expectations obviously shape your experience. But that doesn't really explain the core of the experience. What's really going on? There is no physical change in your brain, thus normal emotions are excluded (since when you wake up, the effects are completely gone, not even a sign of them, nor the feelings associated with the experience). So it's like ghost-emotions. The come and go real quickly. But from where do they stem?
