Well i read a article about intelligence and sleeping also theories of sleep. The article was about memory in higher brain species and it was saying that animals associated with using their brain have a higher defense against sleep they quoted human and dolphin and whales having a more advanced defense system for sleep. The article i read was saying something similar to lucid dreaming called ubersleep and they was arguing against it saying that your going against your body natural sleep system. Well basically they were saying that your brain need to be unconscious to do a certain function they said something about higher memory. |

I not against lucid dreaming but i guess that it not natural theirfore we should be able to discuss if it bad for you espically the effect of not sleeping properly is really bad the average person in this forum proberly attempts a lucid dream everyday now it might not effect in the short run i.e. week or a year but what about five or ten years. |

Lucid dreaming has been around for a long long long time. |

Even if lucid dreaming was bad for you, so are many other things. For example, most people drink alcohol now and then. They're having fun by drinking it, it hurts them from the inside, yet they experience fun. Sure, you shouldn't drink too much, but a little alcohol hurts too. Even if these people live 3 - 5 years less than they would live, what does it matter for them? Maybe they would be very unhappy in their life (= stress) and die anyway, a lot earlier. Or maybe they would live unhappier for a longer period, and don't experience the joy they would've experienced. OK, now I'm a little overreacting. I personally don't really care much about alcohol. |

Your argument about the preferential cortex is valid. |

Agreed 100% |

Aight lets say that your prefrotnal cortex is in fact trying to defend itself and shutting itslef down. Now, what if matrix was real? What if this was only an attempt to censor the true capabilities of our mind? to keep as prisoners? Why do you think that lucid dreaming is not as widely popular as sports for example? |

Lucid Dreams: 6
Average Control - 7/10
Average Clarity - 7.5/10
Average Vividness - 8.5/10
That's a good point. Lucid dreams happen much, much more easily and effectively toward the end of a sleep. I think I have only had two lucid dreams just a few hours into sleep, and they were very short and a bit blurry. All of the others happened after about seven or more hours of sleep. Come to think of it, they have always been the last dream I had before waking up. However, I question whether that has something to do with being in a lighter state of sleep because I am so close to waking up. |

How do you know you are not dreaming right now?
