>dream for an hour
>feels like a day has gone by in the dream world
Sometimes it'll feel like a week or linger has gone by, too
Will we ever understand the dream world in our lifetime?
I dreamt (was lucid dreaming) that I discovered this secret passage in a hotel, and it transported me to a totally different world and shit.
wooooow woke dooooooood n shiiiiit !
>lucid dreaming
Dude, me too, I literally only have sex in my lucid dreams at this point and don't want to fap or fuck in real life anymore.
Not even kidding, feels fucking great
For sure.
In my dream I was like "well fuck this, if I'm dreaming I'm gonna bang a hot ass chick"
So I walked up to a chick to bang, but we ended up hiking instead. Though other times it worked
What if dreams are visions into a parallel universe? Is there a way to test this hypothesis?
I'll also never bother with DMT and shit, because I can just fall asleep and have the same experience
nigga how the fuck are you gonna test that
I thought about that.
Dreams feel 100% authentic, so who is to say they aren't?
Reality is what our brain processes shit as, but it does the same thing with dreams too
Testing a parallel universe is impossible. If you can interact with it then it isn't "parallel", but part of our own universe. It's a shit theory because it's not falsifiable. Like the simulation hypotheses.
We don't know anything about dreams or consciousness or existence, if you want to go down that rabbit hole. What do dreams show us? How come we can't control our instincts and interests (otherwise everyone would be a billionaire)? Why do all people with near death experiences report the same experience? Why do psychedelic drugs work the way they do? Why do photons behave differently if they're being observed by a conscious observer? We have no idea. About anything.
People thought like that about all kinds of shit which had been explained in the past. Dumb lolbertarian. Dreams are in domain of the physical brain, it's not out of reach
Stop posting pictures of Varg
We will most certainly never understand dreams in our lifetime, I can almost guarantee you that.
it's possible but you can't know that
>How come we can't control our instincts and interests?
>he doesn't know
If you don't try to romanticize it, entertaining other people's perspective of the mechanism of dreaming becomes easier.
Having a lucid dream is fucking hard. Im trying almost every day and only get one every 4-6 months. But it is so damn worth it when you realize you are in one.
>brain is sorting long term memories, short term memories and FUD
>brain part that is responsible for creating a narrative out of sensory input sees all this shit flying by and creates a story out of it
>why?
>Stories are easier for the brain to process and store
>Imagine a pile of legos
>as you put them away you build structures to make everything fit better
>our brain does this for 8 hours a night
Consider the following, you very rarely see anything other than what you are focused on, our brain creates an approximation of geometry and provides us an average form, distance and appearance based on light differences and movement, and is able to estimate vectors and transpose data for hypothetical approximations. The fact that we have a geometry rendering device in our skulls is fucking amazing.
you cannot fully grasp the speed at which your brain works
The way I've always seen it:
>your mind is always hampered by the rate of information going between ears/eyes/etc. and your brain
>further slowed by your reactions, moving your hand from your side to your head is not an instantaneous action, for example
>while you are in REM sleep you are no longer 'waiting on' your various senses and your physical reaction to what's happening
>IRL moving hand takes a second, dream moving hand is instant
>all these minor reductions in 'time elapsed' ad up so an action that normally takes 5 minutes (getting dressed) becomes instantaneous, though you still see it as "getting dressed"
>if your dream is nothing but repeatedly getting dressed, you might do so 100 times which would normally take ten hours and you may perceive it as such
>but your mind quickly processing the concept of getting dressed only takes a mere moment, and doing it 100 times could easily fit into a minute's worth of REM sleep
basic explanation for how I personally see it. the rapid eye movement associated with dreaming is just your eyes reflexively darting around to 'keep up' with what's happening in your brain
If you can't control your instincts you might be a nigger.
Psychoanalysis is a pseudoscience
>brain part that is responsible for creating a narrative out of sensory input sees all this shit flying by and creates a story out of it
I've also thought this as well. Random images, thoughts, impressions, and sometimes they happen to string together in such a way that it becomes something you can recall once waking.
That's why the more you try to remember the details, the more it slips away. Things stop making sense the closer you look. Like taking a large mosaic and just looking at a small portion, you're not going to see anything resembling a larger picture
If you've ever taken lsd or dmt you wouldn't say that. Very different than dreaming
This, literal Russels teapot
Thats wrong though because there are varying elements of clarity and coherent structure in dreams, from entirely nonsensical to false awakenings that feel and look like reality with you going through the motions of waking up and getting ready only to awaken again in bed. Just like in lucid dreaming there are varying degrees of lucidity, from fleeting and vague awareness and control to full control, awareness and mastery with perfect memory recall and coherence.
Dreams have degrees of coherence, clarity and vividness, and with good enough recall you can remember more and more details and piece together the story or find that as you try to extract more detail, the less you can grab on to, it goes both ways.
Dreams are really fascinating.
