Thread: 360 vision?

I don't think your brain is capable of seeing that much at one time. It is very similar to trying to make a new color (hence my sig), and is probably impossible. If you did manage to do it, you will probably wake up.

I disagree, on all accounts (except that you can't dream up a new color). I'd go into why, but I think the answer is fairly obvious to anyone who thinks about how the brain processes information. . .

Maybe you're right. I'm not one to argue about this, but it seems a bit hard to imagine being able to see a wider area of what you already can.

I see you have been watching waking life. Good movie.

im gonna disagree aswell.."making a new colour" that i would say is impossible because we have computers that have blended every mix and given a name to it (wheater or not you think #00FFcc43 is a name).
you wanna go Brand New? you cant. the computer already did not to mention your brain would simply blend colours you know togeather

360 vision, sounds... fun. yeah, people are gonna need to go bodyless or modded body, my idea is for 360 vision is just put an eye on each side or you head. done!... "capable" oh i think your wrong there. the human brain has very large capabilities because of it's ability to grow, and learn.

I have seen colors in dreams that are not in waking life many times. I did not make these colors. I just saw them. A lot of them are translucent, transparent, or iridescent. They are beautiful and amazing. Sometimes, I see two colors at once on the same object.

Placing limits on yourself, well limits you. I have been recently been focusing on dreaming limitlessly, and transferring that same mentality to waking life. Every time someone says something is impossible in dreams, I just want to laugh.

not to go off topic -- but 'color' (not iridescence, transparency, etc) is strictly defined in terms of frequencies of visible light; so you can't actually create a new color. you could perhaps see a blend or mixture of colors that you've never seen before

i think that many people have the 'impression' that they've done things like dreaming with full spherical or even 360˚ vision, when in fact they saw their dream as a fish-lens type of thing (perhaps opening their view substantially but not completely). i won't say anything with any certainty though as i haven't done/tried it.

I think it would be very similar to viewing the google earth program. you know, when you scroll through the stars? only all at once. Personally, this sounds like an epic thing to try!

When i gain mastery of my dreams, maybe i'll try this.

Ummm The new colour is definitely possible. Whoever used the computer analogy, that's SOOO off it's not funny. There's more colour IRL than on the computer lol (just pretend the computer isn't RL lol)
Humans cannot see every colour there is. For example we can't see infrared light waves. That's why they're so good for wireless electronics. Otherwise there would be red lights everywhere. Birds and some other animals CAN see them. Some humans can see and extra colour that most can't. Only females have this. Not all of course, just a few. And some people who take psychedelics (including men) who have a certain gene but haven't been able to see the extra colour IRL, can see it while tripping. Same with dreams, because their brain CAN process it, but their eyes can't.

i was making the assumption that color (while facilitated by the brain) is simply a manifestation of variations of the frequencies of the visual light spectrum, which doesn't include infrared. perhaps this assumption is invalid, but currently that's the opinion i hold. the previously stated idea that a new color could be created/experienced in the human mind, therefore, i believe wouldn't be possible.

not that it's really that important anyway. the brain can give one the impression that something is occurring during say, a dream, when in fact this event is not actually visually manifest (i.e. events that are not visually feasible, such as multiple objects existing distinctly as one object)

Of course the brain can process it. But to make a new color, you wouldn't hear it, or use any other sense except sight. You even said yourself that if we could see infrared lighting it would just appear as red. If we were in a black and white world, we wouldn't be able to see a color like red; it would just show up as gray. Therefore you wouldn't be able to process it with your eyes, making it useless.
