Thread: Two kinds of dreams?

Dr. LaBerge is currently doing a study on the difference of content from a normal dream and a lucid dream. We don't know yet.

Oh come on!!! haha

Do you mean, is there something inherently different about the dream, even before you become lucid? Meaning, some dreams you have no chance of becoming lucid, while others are primed for lucidity to take over?

Yeah haha you worded my question better- do you have an answer for that?

I've never thought of it that way before.

Thinking of my own experience, I know I have become lucid in a variety of dreams. Different subject matter, different 'feel' to the dream. I can't think of anything that the dreams had in common, besides the fact that they all eventually evolved into a lucid dream.

So, yes, 'prelucid' dreams are a certain kind of dream. But, no, there is nothing special about them besides their classifying definition.

I agree with Robot_Butler, I dont think there is any real differences other than my prelucid dreams being extremely vivid which always gives a LDer an advantage into becoming lucid.

But im interested in hearing about the results of Laberge's study that Ninja was talking about.

Dr. LaBerge does very extensive studies, I'm not sure when it will be completed. It's the featured one on his site, I'll bet he's posted some preliminary results somewhere.

Do you think that LaBerge is really here, and has an account that he is not telling us about?

I think he is too busy binge drinking milk in his Hawaiian resorts. The Lucidity Institute has definitely gone downhill in the last few years. All they seem to care about anymore is their $$$ making Hawaiian vacation seminars.

But don't listen to me. I'm just bitter since they put a gag order on Galantamine discussion and shut down their forums.
