Would this work?

Ok you know how lucid dreams help you recall memories? Well I think that’s because you have experienced that memory before you just cant recall in a lucid dream you in a state where you MIGHT be able to remember everything you ever heard or seen like photographically memory or something, well since I might not be able to lucid dream can maybe some of yall try this? Look at this map http://wheels-in-motion.com/Net-GIFs/USA-Map.GIF for a little bit don’t memorize it just scan it for about 2 seconds or so, if u get in a lucid dream try and remember that map again and see if u can recall the colors of certain states and remember them then in real life come back here and check if your right, that some good?

Hi justme, Insightful reflection. If I'm correct, in your theoretical model, subconscious is like a very large memory deposit where everything we see during the day is stored with all the details. Then, in the LD state, we are able to retrieve that memory. Interesting. Let's suppose that in my LD state I do not succeed in remembering the map that you suggest as a the "target" for my memory. This would lead to two different conclusions: 1. My memory is limited. Your hypothesis is disconfirmed. 2. My memory is infinite, but my retrieving capability is limited. Your hypothesis is confirmed (and new questions open: why the retrieving capability is not at the pace of memory?) Thus the experiment might include also some control for retrieving capability. eXistenZ

so.....? no good?

He's suggesting expanding the experiment. I agree - But it's good enough for a first round. I'll need to exclude myself. I have a rather extreme eidetic memory...

Originally posted by justme so.....? no good? Good Kimpossible was right: I'm suggesting some extension of your interesting experiment by controlling in some way the retrieving capability of stored memories. I would like to participate, but I must warn that I have a quite low dream recall score... Anyway, I'll open the map and take a look at it, as suggested. If I'll have (as I strongly wish) a lucid dream, I'll try to remember the details. Maybe that is the way to elicit my LD... I'll keep you posted! eXistenZ
