Thread: Why doesn't lucid dreaming have the repercussion it should?

I think one big problem is that most people tend to think of dreams as random scenes that you observe from the distance, rather than "worlds" where you are actually "inside" the dream scene - think of it like watching a movie instead of being in a holodeck.
And if people have the preconception that dreams are that vague and distant, then it will be extremely hard for them to accept that dreams can be just as vivid as waking life - this would almost be like trying to convince someone that you can jump into a TV screen and become a part of a movie or something.

The first step in giving people a chance to truly discover lucid dreaming is probably to make them comfortable with the fact that dreams are just as immersive as waking life, and that you are a kind of entity that moves around and interacts with the dream environment.
