Oh yes this. Ideally we want it closed source but with a backdoor or ten so that you can control anyone’s dreams though the Internet.

- m12k 9y agoIf you're into video games, you should play Dreamfall Chapters.
- croon 9y agoThe Longest Journey was one of my favorite games. I've been holding off on Dreamfall, but I should probably get it when I can find the time.
- m12k 9y agoMine too. I felt Dreamfall was a bit 'light' compared to the depth and charm of The Longest Journey. But I feel that Dreamfall Chapters is finally a worthy successor (though still not at the same height of 'all-time classic' as the original is for me, but few things are).
- the_af 9y agoI liked The Longest Journey a lot back in the day. A bit too talkative for my taste, but I loved the world-building, the characters -- I especially loved April, of course -- and the unconventional "plot twist" at the end. I didn't like Dreamfall. I didn't like what they did to April, and found the new characters uninteresting. Never played Dreamfall Chapters.

- mkstowegnv 9y agoand your fidget spinner can function like the spinning tops in Inception to tell you whether or not you are in a dream (so there really is a purpose for those things!)
- random_upvoter 9y agoJust look at your hand. In a lucid dream, your hand doesn't quite look like a normal hand.
- majewsky 9y agoDoesn't always work though. "Let's see... Seven fingers - yep, I'm awake."
- rightmess 9y agoThe nose-plug check is more reliable and physiologically based: pinch your nose so that your nostrils are blocked, shut your mouth and breathe in. If you're dreaming you'll breathe in anyway since your nostrils aren't actually blocked.
- logfromblammo 9y agoDon't even look; just poke a finger through your palm. When dreaming, the rendering engine is still turned on, but clipping is off, and the physics engine is switched to a simplified model. You can also breathe without an open airway, so the Valsalva maneuver does not work. As I need to do this several times during the day to relive underpressure due to my crap eustachian tubes, this is an immediate tell for me. Then I poke my finger through my palm, and usually get so excited about figuring out that I'm dreaming that I wake myself up. I've heard that you can spin around as though you were trying to make yourself dizzy to avoid waking, but it never seems to work for me.
