Thread: Didn't know where else to place this, PLUS I'm new.

Been lucid dreaming for years. A few times a week actually, mainly due to my discussing dreams and altered states almost daily. Anyhow, had a thought the other day and found very little in the way of a Google search.

When one imagines something, they can visually place an object in front of their vision, and it appears as a floating, see-through object (much like a transparency sheet). Dreams, similarly, seem to have varying degrees of transparency depending on the vividness of the experience. Is it possible, then, that the dreams (as well as hallucinations and visual thoughts) exist as a tangible sheet of colors and patterns on the atomic level?

No. Dreams are simply hallucinations brought to existence by the sense-deprived brain.

Ah, we could argue on that until the end of time, but I agree with the last guy; it's just not possible (at least, not in the reality we inhabit, or perceive to inhabit). A good idea, though; try posting this on the philosophy forum...

Anything is possible. Light comes out of our faces.

I have never had a dream where anything is transparent.

When I say transparent, I don't necessarily mean that while dreaming, the visuals aren't solid. It seems more like the memory of it is. However, I have had numerous psuedo-dreams in which I was in a slightly conscious state, and it seemed that those visuals were transparent.
