Thread: How real can dreams get

Think of it this way...

Even in real life, everything you experience is constructed inside of your own head. True, your mind gets sensory input from your eyes, ears, etc - but in the end, the mind interprets this how it wants, and what you experience is not exactly "reality" - it is a simulation of reality created in your mind.

It makes sense then, that your mind has the ability to construct perfectly "realistic" scenarios for itself, even without any sensory input.

In my experience, dreams (especially lucid) can be shockingly real, down to the very tiniest detail. This isn't always the case - often dreams can seem fuzzy or unfocused. It just depends on the night, really.
