I occasionally have lucid dreams, where I realize I'm dreaming. When that happens, I can take control of the dream and do cool things like fly. Usually this only lasts a minute or two and then I wake up. But on a handful of occasions I've reverted to a non-lucid state, where I forget that I just figured out that I'm in a dream, and I lose control again. It's super freaky, and raises some pretty deep existential questions: who/what exactly am I when I'm in that state? How can I ever really be sure that I'm not dreaming?
- bonoboTP 6y agoIn another kind of "weakly lucid" dream type I know I'm dreaming but I don't have (full) control. So I can't make people answer what I want, but it feels like I can "mentally manipulate" them and push their answer to a certain direction, like make an attacker friendlier or so.
- GordonS 6y ago> I occasionally have lucid dreams, where I realize I'm dreaming. When that happens, I can take control of the dream and do cool things I experience lucid dreams I can control quite frequently. The thing I do most often is let the dream play out, but go back in (dream) time to replay certain scenes differently if I'm not happy with the outcome. It's really pretty cool - like being in some kind of super-advanced VR simulation, or under the influence of some impossible drug. If anyone ever figures out tech to make this just happen (kind of like simulation VR goggles in scifi films), they are going to be very, very rich.
