Okay, so I got this idea from a book I borrowed at the library, it's fiction. But please, hear me out, I am going somewhere with this, it wont be fictional at all, and it will tie into lucid dreaming. Anyway, the premise of this book is that there are people out there called Greater-thans who have learned to access and use the parts of our brains that we don't use much in the first place (the fact that we only use is 10% of our brains is a myth to me, just so we get that out of the way). This allowes them to have powers such as telekinesis, the ability to read minds. to stop and bounce back bullets, and other cool stuff. To do this they have to learn to become more neuraly integrated and there are those who are more integrated and powerful than others. So, that got me thinking and asking what would happen if neural integration was possible? I know we wouldn't get paranormal powers but what would happen in reality? Curiosity got the best of me at 5am so I googled neural integration. It is a real, scientific thing and the book touches on this sort of but it's not exactly as it is portrayed. Basically there is divergence, where one neuron in the brain is connected to many in a pyramid type structure. Each neruron connected to that one neuron may react differently. Then there is convergance which the exact opposite, many neurons connected to one neuron. In neural integration two diffferent signals or activities get so interconnected that they start to get wired to one neuron. Like if learned to play piano and do math at the same time, from what I've gathered, the neurons in my brain that control my ability to do math and play piano would become integrated, convergence would occur. the same kind of occurance and paradox can be seen when we lucid dream. We are asleep, totally unaware of it. Yet suddenly, we realize we are sleeping and treat our dream state as if it's conscious reality that we ultimately bend and shape. I've been listening to Isochronic pulses for a week now to make my lucid dreams more frequent and I am getting results, some unexpected and strange, but it is helping me gian control of my dreams. I've sort of been my own experimental guiney pig and I'm sorry if this is the wrong catagory. It seemed pretty sciency and experimental to me. Anyway, I'm going to try neural integration with the Isochronic pulses. I'll graduate to more complex tasks and it will involve me eventually learning some advanced math since I've only made it as far as pre-algebra in school. My first task will be to sketch works of art with my left hand, which I am very capable of, and do math with the right. I will make the math harder and harder as I go and we will see what happens.
