I have a question about lucid dreaming. Is there a reliable way to tell the difference between a lucid dream and, essentially, dreaming that you are having a lucid dream, because you are preoccupied with the idea?
Seems like if you are constantly working at, reading of, and hearing about lucid dreaming, the idea would make it into your dreams, lucid or not.
- insiderq 11y agoThe device will make you aware that you are sleeping several times in one night. That is almost impossible in case of placebo effect.
- nickpsecurity 11y agoAwareness is the key. When lucid, you will realize the world around you is fake, your thoughts won't be scripted, you might change things with focus, and the dream may even implode (you wake up) seconds after first awareness. Easiest way to know difference is keep asking if you're dreaming. Right now, something is in your mind that knows you're awake that you don't feel in dreams and not for long in lucid ones. Plus, lucid dreams break rules of reality in obvious or subtle ways you'll spot. Persistent awareness of this means you'll eventually notice a discrepency from habitual checks and wake up instantly (in dream or in reality).
