lucid dreaming for TOK help

[jotabe91]

Do you guys think that I can write an essay on lucid dreaming for TOK (theory of knowledge) or is it not related, 'cause its a really interesting thing to write about.

i dont think it is related its more scientific then philosofical right? altough i've read somewere that during hypnagogia u are more susceptible and u achieve insight like Kekule’s discovery of the structure of benzene, not sure if this is true, not to many studies about this i think it's more philosophical lol maybe both with different/same perspectives u ponder over it and apply scientific studies

its more scientific then philosofical right?

[jotabe91]

can u give a topic or something like that more related with TOK. Thanks

[Darz]

ermm lol i dunno it's your essay, an common example: a table is a solid object for the common sense but for science it's mostly just empty space, not telling what u should write bout

Holy Shit Darz did you just make a quadruple post?

[Darz]

Darz, please do not post multiple times like that when a response can just be done in one post. If you feel the need to edit a post there is an edit button that can be used for that purpose, rather than posting a new reply for each sentence. If the ideas came later, you should revamp your posting style and try to think BEFORE posting, rather than afterward.

By 'TOK', do you mean, like, epistemology? If so, then hell yeah. The whole point of lucid dreaming is to determine whether or not what you are sensing is 'real', or a dream, right? So, how do you do that? What constitutes 'real' experience? How can one ever be sure whether one is or is not currently dreaming? What is, fundamentally, the difference between a DC that acts like a person and a genuine person? This sort of inquiry is pretty relevant.
