I've had a few LDs which were as vivid and detailed as physical reality, and I was totally conscious. They really got my attention. A major goal is to have one of these each week. (two if I get greedy)
Sounds amazing. I haven't had that experience yet, but I hope to soon. I hope you succeed in having such realistic LDs soon!
Exploring LDs is certainly fascinating. Keep us updated with what you learn.
