Lucid Dreaming: Dr. Stephen La Berge (4/12)

Dr. Stephen LaBerge, Dominick Attisani, talking to Art Bell on Coast to Coast A.M. 3-24-2007

Psychophysiologist Dr. Stephen La Berge joined his associate at the Lucidity Institute, Dominick Attisani, to discuss how science is researching consciousness via the laboratory of the mind and lucid dreaming.

La Berge defined a 'lucid dream' as simply a dream in which you know that your dreaming, and pointed out that anyone can learn to have lucid dreams. The place to start is with 'dream recall,' he explained, which is the ability remember your dreams. Attisani suggested an increased awareness of what we are doing, in our waking and dream lives, can help develop the ability to recognize when we are in a dream.

Attisani and La Berge enumerated some benefits/applications of lucid dreaming, including life rehearsal, tapping into creativity, overcoming nightmares and fears, increased mind/body connection, emotional healing, and just for the pure pleasure of controlling your dreams. The two also talked about the scientific evidence for lucid dreaming, as well as the connection between out-of-body experiences, lucid dreaming and death.

@WaterVersusICE i'm no doctor but i would presume we need rest so that our body can physically function at a certain capacity every day. Our muscles need time where they can shut off and recover. As to why we feel mentally tired, I am not sure as you make a valid point.

if the brain has the same activity as it has in real life or what ever u want to call this awaken part, then WHY DO WE NEED TO SLEEP ? :| i dnt get it, what gets tired in us that requires us to rest

at just about 4 minutes in, i have had similar experiences as a child but after being on a rollercoaster. laying in bed and remembering the sensation of moving about but then it would turn into a dream.
