Thread: Just have to say "How does the brain do it!?"

I have been an LD'er for years. For about 1 year now I have been experimenting with them since finding this site. Normally in my dreams, if I become Lucid its because I suddenly just realise or its because the dream starts and I am instantly lucid. In a recent dream, I was in a room and I looked around and everything was crystal clear. I realised I was dreaming. I actually said to myself "I cant believe I am actually lying in bed now and my brain is simulating all of this scenery." Imagine how surreal it is to actually say that and ABSOLUTELY mean it and know it. Until you say that in your dream, and you are really lucid, you will never fully appreciate what it is like to be aware that you are dreaming. The possibilities are endless. Controlling those possibilites however, is a skill.

Have you ever just though how u can just think anything? I mean it sounds stupid but u can think of endless though from like a pink elephant tighrope walking to a giant human snowglobe. I think the human mind is AMAZING might as well be the 8th wonders of the world lol....

yeah dam right amazing....i think that everytime im lucid.........last time i was amazed at a a a pland ....i got up close to it....an it was all detailed just like in real life...touched it ...as real as in real life...

our brain is the most complex thing in this galaxy fo shizzle!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

The mind is infinite, we are all One Infinite Consciousness...now that is truely amazing

I'm the same way.

And yes...many, many times I have just stopped and stood still in my lucids to really examine everything and appreciate how real it all was. I've climbed out my bedroom window and for some reason there was sand...everyhwere...I knelt down in the sand, picked it up and let it blow through my fingers. I remember thinking "I can't believe this isn't real". I just layed there, basking in the warm sun. It's usually the little things like this that make me appreciate my lucids so much. Just thinking about it makes me smile.

I completely agree! Just the other day I was lucid then focused on looking at my hand paying attention to detail (to increase dream realizm). The rest of the dream was crystal clear actually it was clearer than real life IMO. Truly amazing. The human mind has much more potential than what we are told....WOW

In one of my last lucids I put a pair of rocket-shoes on my feet. I pushed a button and jets of fire came out of the shoes. The warm felling in my feet was so f***ing real!

And yes, I also smile when I think the fantastic thing that LDing is all about.
