I've lucid dreamed a few times, and every time I am able to summon a "debug menu". Sort of a drop-down menu with all of the dream parameters. I can never think of anything more interesting to try than Physics>Gravity>moon. I turned off collisions once, and spent like twenty minutes just putting my hands through walls and giggling.

It's weirdly common in my dreams to have low gravity or to have the ability to swim through the air. I'm pretty sure my brain is recognizing that gravity isn't applying to me in the way it should be if I were standing up (because I'm actually laying down in a bed), and my brain is just confabulating an explanation for it. So that makes me wonder whether that circumstance in your lucid dream (and choices in lucid dreams in general) is really happening because of your free choice, and whether the belief that you decided for that to happen is just part of your brain confabulating an explanation. I assume it and probably most decisions are a mix of both.

  There is an anime series with something similar to this as one of the premises, 'Overlord'. Near the beginning, the protagonist uses superuser powers to reprogram a cute but hateful character in a VR game so they are in love with him. It goes rather less well than he expects. Great series, incidentally.

    Sorry, being a hormonally motivated biological machine developed over millions of years sometimes makes me have sexual thoughts cause I'm programmed to have one too many of them; I apologize for stating the course of action that 99% of the straight males in the world would do if they TRULY could control their dreams, if lucid dreaming wasn't just another vapid fantasy about being able to control one's brain.

      The other hormonally motivated biological machines manage not to do that here, so I'm confident your machine is capable.

        It's not like I posted porn; it was just a comment, you guys truly are super sensitive over there in California. Plus I really wanted to point out that 99% of the straight males in the world would do sexual things in their dreams if they TRULY could control their dreams, if lucid dreaming wasn't just another vapid fantasy about being able to control one's brain.

        It isn't sensitivity in the way you're thinking. The issue is that unsubstantive comments grow like weeds if we let them. Since we don't want them to take over the site, we need to not let them.

        Fair enough. Still don't think we stand on the same ground of what are the acceptable ways of speaking out one's opinion.
