I'm an aspie who loves science, I only came to realize this after my life fell apart from studying art. Art is qualitative, science (if done properly) is not ... so I have decided to dedicate the rest of my life to studying science. When I was a child, I use to have a lot pre-cognitive dreams "premonitions" ... anyway, I don't have those dreams anymore. I have also been more terrified in dreams then in real life, once I dreamt I was experience a nuclear meltdown first hand and I freaked out.
Ha! It doesn't matter whether you're psychotic or hallucinating or you're in reality. You will experience it as being real because that's what brains do, they create "reality" whether it's based on thesensory input or not. You have to believe it because normaly you don't have reason/need to question it. You should smoke DMT and see for yourself :D
If you jumped of the tallest building in a dream then mental health as found in America will accuse you of contemplating suicide. Therefore you need to be careful or they will come to take you away.
I just had my first lucid dream. It sucked. I realized, "WHOA!! I'M NOT JEWISH!!!" then i decided to fly and woke up. I was trying to lucid dream, but i was having trouble controlling my environment.
This video of yours is probably the only good one here on Youtube. Can I ask you something, though? When you had your first LD and you realized that something was out of place, how much was the dream vivid? Because, when I had my first vivid dream it was a bit of a shock first just for the sake of it feeling too much real for it being just a normal dream.
about how u thought u were lucid, but then acted like u weren't -- u've totally gotta watch Reece Jones' series on the 5 layers of lucid dreaming (10 actually -- each layer has a lower & a higher version,) graded from minimal awareness to full awareness & control. his user name is reecejones87. he's also got an interesting discussion on how u can slip back & forth between layers during a single dream.
That's interesting, I haven't heard anyone mention different layers, but it makes sense. I always thought of it as you're aware or you're not aware, but if you think about it, it's always somewhere in between. I'll have a look at Reece's videos, thanks.
Every now and then I pose a question to my self. Today’s question is why do we sleep and dream? What purpose does it serve? How come we believe the dream in our sleep as reality? But now you have me intrigued because… I’m Hungarian, started learning English at 5, I don’t fit in…etc…write back to me if you want to know more. Tom.

I think there's no believing/nonbelieving. Believing's just a concept. Consciousness is a stream of interpretations, like a string of semantic tokens. And when its intensity increases more interpretations happen, more concepts are involved. And then you discover that flying is impossible because you remember the concept of flying and semantic rules attached to it.
And waking reality is no different. You can think of it not as seeing/hearing/feeling but as a semantic stream.
Hi there. Ive had 2 lucid dreams in my life once when I was 22 and again when I was 24. Totally cool. I didnt practice to get them they just happened. When I awoke I went to the library to look up what it was and thats when I began reading about Lucid dreaming. I remember my lucid dreams still to this day, it makes me happy to think about it.
sometimes u r about to wake up and u figure out u r dreaming but then for some reason u slip back in, and lose the little control and reasoning u had. thats probly wat happened to u in the train station dream
Hey that's a really good point about how lucid dreams seem to happen because you were going to wake up anyway. I also wake up a lot towards the morning, but fall back asleep fast, and yeah in that time you get more and more REM sleep.
the reason u wake up is because ur already on the verge of waking up. reality starts to sink in while u r still dreaming and thats y u start to question things that dont make sense. i found this out bc i'm always waking up in the middle of the night, i guess bc i dont reach my deep sleep stage the way im supposed to, so i have anywhere from 3 to 15 different dreams a night and about 2 or 3 of them tend to lucid. the closer u r to waking up, the more control u have. the further u r, the less.
I've had a couple lucid dreams, but usually once I become aware I'm dreaming I wake up. I do experience sleep paralysis on a semi- regular basis. I find these to be quite interesting.
I find dreams to be an interesting subject. What is your opinion on why people dream? I think I'm going to start a dream journal now. See if I can learn anything.
I think dreaming is cool because it's just so weird but no one knows why it happens.
I think it might have a few different purposes. One of them is memory consolidation, because we know that blocking dreaming stuffs up learning. It might be like a virtual world for the brain to practice stuff it learnt. But why do we need to see it?
When I was really young and religious, I used to think I was visiting the afterlife. I thought that dying was just going to sleep permanently.
I don't usually remember my dreams. The ones that I remeber sometimes come true. I would rather not remember them because of that. I don't consider myself psychic. It is just a weird thing that happens on occasion. Interesting vid. :)
Yeah, that's freaky when it happens. I think the subconscious is good at telling us thinks that we didn't know we know, if that makes sense lol. Like I lose things, and then dream of their location and find it.
ive had them before...i say things like "man i am glad this is a dream...it would really suck if this were real"...i think that to myself in the dream itself. usually its something really bad happening and then in the dream i go "hold on, that can't really happen in real life...this is a dream" and then i cheer up cause i know that nothing really matters and i let myself just get a little nervous in the dream...like im playing along with it for the sake of the others in the dream
"playing along with it for the sake of the others in the dream"
This is what I find so interesting. I find myself attached to people in the dream even when I'm aware it's a dream. But they aren't real people, they are really just 'figments of our imagination'.
This is a fascinating subject! After waking from a regular dream, I'm often amazed by some of the ridiculous things I simply accepted as a matter of course. (Of course I can jump 50 feet in the air!). With regard to controlling a lucid dream: I've had the same experience as you; when I concentrate on controlling it, it becomes a daydream rather than a hallucination.
Yeah, some things can be so weird. Like 'yeah, I'm totally just jumping to my maths exam from my house because I am totally majoring in engineering. Not to mention the whole world looks really wrong and nothing like reality :P
i never considered MDMA an hallucinogen. this was a very interesting video... although rare, i lucid dream from time to time... thank you for sharing your ideas with us.
MDMA is considered a hallucinogenic/psychedelic stimulant. Or empathogen-entactogen. Hallucingen probably doesn't describe it well because to my knowledge it doesn't make you hallucinate, just distorts reality slightly.
I only ever have semi-lucid dreams, where I am aware I can control certain elements of the dream. My favorite one was when I realized I could levitate and fly. Never had a full lucid dream. :(

My idea is that the neocortex (the frontal lobe, which evolved in modern humans) isn't active while asleep, or in REM.
Or less active.
Just some thoughts...
