Have you ever felt drawn toward choices without knowing why? Or, as seen in the movie “Inception,” have you ever felt like you’ve woken up with a decision that’s already been made for you?
Neuroscience is beginning to demystify such feelings. Our agency and decisions, it turns out, can be measurably influenced by events that evade the conscious part of our brains. We’ll see three groundbreaking experiments that illustrate that influences we are unaware of in our waking life, during dreamless sleep, or even in our dreams, can impact our memory and behavior.
Published on February 18, 2021, in the journal Current Biology, an international team of scientists have found a bridge to the dream world by showing that it’s possible to have a direct dialogue with someone in their dream-and NOVA’s Greg Kestin (host of “What the Physics?!”) was given exclusive access.
The scientific context and potential effect of this team’s work are built up in the film through two related groundbreaking experiments. These experiments also show how scientists can influence your decisions, desires, and habits without you being aware.

I was so scared of failing the FE exam that I studied day and night for 6 months. I studied so hard for the exam, that I started taking the practice exams in my dreams.. remembering each question and answer word for word and actually choosing the right answer.
When it came time to take the exam, I finished within an hour and passed in the top 10% of my class. 😳 I'll never forget that, crazy.
I've been lucid dreaming for 40 years. This is quite a vindicating study. I have communicated verbally with my wife, while at the same time speaking to someone in my dream. I still have amazing lucid dreams to this day. I actually learn things in my dreams and have even pulled creative writing from within my dream space. It is one of the best parts of my life experience.
It truly is amazing, huh? :)
I've been doing it for quite some years too and it is probably my favorite hobby in all of life. :)
It is interesting how creative we can be in our dreams. I just think, imagine if we could tap into that consciously with intention. Novelists at least, could see a great enhancement of their power. Although, I think of lot of dreaming is emotional imaginings. So, we feel like we came up with some great song in the dream, but if we were to then hear it while awake we might realize it was not nearly as clever or interesting or good or complete.
@@Yoshi92 please, how? Give me some advice. Where i can start?
Hi, I'm the Director/Producer of this short documentary. Feel free to ask me questions!
So the self is an effect rather than a cause?
@@husamosman375 Experiments like this, and the somewhat controversial "Libet Experiment" which predicts ones actions before they happen by monitoring brain activity, point to our actions being effects just as much as causes, yes. As a physicist, I don't see any mechanism by which our actions would not be effects of previous events.
Speaking of hacking the brain, if the subject that is being manipulated notices the deceive then the manipulation will still keep working subconsciously in mid or long term?
@@yegl7269 There was a really interesting study related to the one about smells here, where they observed that when people were presented with smells it affected their emotions, but only if the smells were subconscious. The change in emotion disappeared if the smell was strong enough for them to know it was there. -- On a separate point, if someone, after being deceived is told they are deceived the manipulation could still affect them long term.
One thing that strikes me is that this could be incredibly dangerous technology in the wrong hands. Humans seem to be malleable enough already. Really interesting, though! Interesting... but scary :D Would be great to explore this more with addictions, though.
I feel like this is a more disturbing breakthrough than people are realizing. Advertising is already crazy targeted now. We gotta pioneer some meditative techniques to resist the kind of brain manipulation advertising will undoubtedly employ if they haven’t started utilizing this research already
Its best to continuously detatch and detox mind, body, spirit. Especially frok social media, tv, youtube everything.
For this to even be possible we are way more powerful then we can even fathom. The problem is not remembering what we were before. There is a power that lies within the power to heal, create, evolve. I believe by combining a number of methods we can Unlock greatness within ourselves. The key is definitely in the mind first
This is a really underrated sentiment. It's not very hard to employ in this day and age. Masking it may be tricky. But if they dont, how will ethical disputed go? And how well do you think they can weaponize skeptics on the matter just by keeping common folk in the dark? There's more to articulate about this, but yes it is scary.

@tony harnket how do one disable the manipulation of dreams and choices?
Get rid of all your smart devices, tvs and any electronics remote manipulators could use as a conduit. Im dead serious.
I had lucid dreams for years when I was in my 30's and 40's, and could control aspects of my dream. I usually ended up flying because it didn't wake me up like other choices did.
I am almost 15 and I had them forever. I can control my dreams too. I can control the people in my dream, I can control the location, my aspect, what I do, I control all. I can wake up if I want to and I feel if my dream will end soon, and I hurry. I allways found it intriguing.
Sorry for my bad english
@@alexianeagu5742 No, no your english is fantastic! What's your first language? Are there any tips you can give me? I can lucid dream but it's not something I can decide before I fall asleep, it happens for me somewhat randomly. The movie "Inception" got right when they spoke about a dream within a dream. Any time I've been able to realize I was dreaming, I was in 2 layers of dreams, and the first one was basically indistinguishable from reality. In that first dream, I literally am myself as I am in reality, laying in bed... and going to sleep. Only through a dream like that have I been able to wake up in the second layer of dreaming and lucid dream. But it's not something I can decide on doing before I fall asleep.
Great, so 5 years from now as soon as I get to the most epic part of my lucid dream, a coca-cola ad is going to play.

The story or education about dreams is so incredible
I have lucid dreams fairly often, but I'm not as "good" at it as some people who have full control. They normally happen between 5 and 7 in the morning, according to the times I end up waking up during one. I can "rerun" parts I don't like so they turn into something I like more, which is a lot like day dreaming but way more immersive, and I can purposely do things I want as long as they aren't so abrupt or intense that it wakes me up. Trying anything complicated is out of the picture... The details I come up with in those dreams are often things I doubt I'd ever come up with while awake, and the details are better than Hollywood. But if I think too hard about it, I invariably wake up - sometimes missing out on finishing a really great dream. Sometimes dreams I consider dull or stupid, but can't alter into something better for whatever reason, aggravate me and I wake up annoyed.
I seem to be at least partly aware of time in my sleep, too. If I dream about a specific time on a clock, when I wake up it is often extremely close to that time. That really surprises me.
I was going to say I havent dreamed in ehat seems like 2 years. But everyone dreams. I haven't been aw to remember my dreams I guess. But I used to be the same. The onkt thing with me tho is that there were 3 repeating dreams where I became lucid. The first and my favorite was an actual story. I went to sleep and had a dream but I wasn't lucid. But I remembered the dream when I woke up. I kept thinking about it and about 2 days later when I fell asleep my dream continued from when I woke up before. And I immediately knew I was dreaming. This actually continued for a long time. Half a year I would say. It was like living 2 lives. The other lucid dream was a repeating one. It was always a zombie horror. And I was always locked into my old house with my old family. And everytime I dreamed it there was always a new non family member. Usually one of my new close friends I have gained. And no natter how many times I have the dream and how many times I try different approaches. I always wake up for the same reason on the same day. We die
I first became "aware" that I had lucid dreams, and that I could "direct" ,or control, them while in law school. During my 1st year as a law student we read law books, cases, 18 hours a day, 7 days a week, for months. "The law" literally was all I did. Then during the spring of my 1L year I began to wake up during my "law dreams" with the answer to the problem I had been reading about hours before. Fearing ridicule , I told no one. I would even study the law while asleep. Crazy ?? I used these dreams as a tool to remember complex issues and to "reason" out a solution. I can still do this 45 years after I graduated from law school, with honors.
When i see term "Hacking" related to science i always think, that maybe time when science was a tool to emancipate humans has long gone, and now it serves only hierarchies that want to exploit more and more from simple unsecure individual..But beside this - it is really cool.)
Scientists have been experimenting for hundreds of years. More than just for the sake of “emancipating” people. Pure curiosity
@@OfTheCoast1234567 When you do something out of pure curiosity, you also use term "hacking" ? - I doubt that. You know that this symantics (such as term "hacking") turns your "pure curiosity" motive into some kind cyberwarfare agaisnt nature and people? And future potential scientists, that only creates an image of science right now will get this wrong idea - science= hacking people.
You're having a big misconception of the term hacking as a malicious action taken, when in truth, hacking is not a naturally malicious thing, hacking is a pretty complex set of actions that can be used for good and bad, and it's not simply "break in security and alter some stuff up", it's a tool, and as any tool, it isn't naturally good or bad, it's just a tool to be used
@@lucidhighway4403 Oh really? dictionary.cambridge.org/us/dictionary/english/hacking Cambridge dictionary definition of "hacking" - "the activity of using a computer to access information stored on another computer system without permission, or to spread a computer virus". Looks like cambridge dictionary also has this "misconception" of mine, maybe you should write your theory of "it -is -just-a-tool" hacking to them as well? ))
@@9855948aq General meaning of hacking is using something to do something that is not intended to do with that something
I've been lucid before while dreaming, quite a few times. And "Inception" got right when they spoke about a dream within a dream. Any time I've been able to realize I was dreaming, I was in 2 "layers" of dreams, and the first one was basically indistinguishable from reality. In that first dream, I literally am myself as I am in reality, laying in bed... and going to sleep. Only through a dream like that have I been able to wake up in the second layer of dreaming and lucid dream. Sometimes I wake up in the first layer of my dream, but I easily go back to sleep there and re-enter my lucid dream.
Edit: If anyone has any tips for me, or cares to just share their own experiences and have a conversation about it all, I'd love if you replied here! Or you can find me at instagram.com/wandering.via.van
Yes! Definitely experienced this. Sometimes in a loop where I kept "waking up" only to later realize that I had still been dreaming when I woke up in the same position yet again.
I have lucid dreams and have been playing around with them my whole life. I can't control everything in my dreams but I can control some of it. I would love to see more videos on this.
Several years ago, i've been lucid dreaming of My self . learning how to drive a Manual Clutched motorcycle. That happened in my dreams many times, because that time. I really wanted to learn how to drive a motorcycle with a clutch... And as time passed by. I was able to have a chance to drive a clutched motorcycle, and out of nowhere. I realized that i already know how to drive a freaking clutched motorcycle...
Maybe if you really want to learn something in real life.. You can learn it in your dreams.
That's awesome! Practicing skills is definitely recognized as one of the most useful functions of lucid dreaming, according to dream researchers and people who lucid dream themselves. But, unfortunately, that's a small population of people. Most people don't even know what lucid dreams are, much less what benefits they can obtain from them.
Fortunately, however, it's fun to introduce people you know into the concept. It's a very fascinating conversation to have. Even if it can be a challenge to get people to really understand what it is if they haven't experienced it themselves. For whatever reason, just telling someone "you can wake up inside of your dreams" can just be an alien concept that often gets misinterpreted. So, sometimes it takes me a while to proficiently describe it before someone starts to comprehend the implications of what it actually is. Which totally makes sense to me, because it really is a wild phenomenon, and can be difficult to believe in if you haven't experienced it yourself. (Before Dr. Stephen LaBerge proved lucid dreaming in a scientific study, most scientists thought it was a bunch of "woo").
But, I digress. It would be cool if everyone practiced the skills for lucid dreaming, in which case we could all benefit from having our own "reality simulators" to play with each night. And, especially, to get extra time for practicing skills that translate back into our waking lives. I hope to see lucid dreaming catch on more in future generations, and become a common skill.
Just so cool. 10 years from now, this breakthrough will unlock knowledge we could never have imagined. Carl Jung would be flipping out!
For me, the tests for whether I'm dreaming are: 1) try to turn off the lights in the room you are in. Changing the lighting of the world is hard, so light switches rarely work. 2) Try to read a clock. Do you understand what it means? Even digital clocks are hard to grok, but traditional analog clocks are pure nonsense. 3) Try to read a book. Even just a few sentences. Do the characters on the page make sense? And if you think you understand them, are you legitimately taking in external information, or are you struggling to force your own meaning or story onto the shifting gibberish you are looking at?
For several years when I was lucid dreaming a lot, my test became to simply test whether I had powers. The most common was essentially equivalent to Luke Skywalker pulling his lightsaber to him with the force. A sort of clumsy, crude telekinesis where I could pull things toward me with my mind. But if that worked, and if I was lucky enough to not wake up after that, well that's when the fun began.
When you cannot sleep at home on your bed and they ask you to sleep in the MRI machine.
I dozed off while binge watching Nova documentaries on UA-cam.
Then I dreamed that I was in a class on sleeping and dreaming.
The professor talked about cedar smell, rotten eggs, Inception movie, memories, etc.
It went on forever and when I woke up, I was a bit stunned to find that this was only a 14 minute doc/film.
Is there any part of a person's life that can't be just left to operate naturally without control from "experts?" Talk about Big brother is watching you! I trust in my innate ability to dream and to self heal without outside intervention thank you. "Science never solves a problem without creating ten more." George Bernard Shaw.
I would be a little afraid that getting too deep into this lucid dreaming stuff could lead to a kind of locked in syndrome. I have experienced being semi-awake and trying to move, but being paralyzed by sleep. And only after great difficulty was I able to wrench myself away. If you can't cleanly separate the two states, you might get stuck in one.
I see lots of potential for stopping bad habits, rehab, curing phobias, and the "re-education" of people that don't think like the ruling class. 🧠⚡💻
Scary as hell. We will be more free, but more trapped maybe?
Brings a whole new slant to "in your dreams", because there you could well achieve what you need hah
It has happened 5 times, it left my body asleep, it was involuntary and I didn't get very far. Sometimes making decisions about what not to do in order not to harm me in lucido dreams or astral travel.
And inside the dream I didn't understand that I was in a dream, because I already woke up with pain in the body of something that happened to me in a dream.
Last time it was quick and I didn't see myself leaving just returning to the body and I don't know where I went.
When I passed the kitchen and was going to cross to the bedroom, something pulled me so abruptly and hit me on the wall that I woke up instantly.
What pulled me was in a place in the house that gives chills and nausea on normal days.
I wonder if somewhere down the line we can have a way for Lucid Dreamers to register what they see and dream to the outside via machines or something! that would be very cool
This gives me 3rd eye shakra enlightenment vibes.
Dangerous territory.

I am a lucid dreamer as well, and I have been since I can remember. However, I’ve just started manipulating the details of the dream’s landscape this year. For example, a few months ago, I dreamt that I was controlling the pool water, moving it across. I formed a spectacular little tide. Buddy… I was Moises, hahaha. But it isn’t the most incredible dream I’ve had
Great new science. I would like be able to remember and write down all music compositions, songs and words that make up what I heard, saw and experienced in my dreams. As I get a lot of that but can’t remember any detail when I wake.
Do you keep a dream journal? Consistent dream journaling has demonstrated explosive improvement of memory recall from dreams. It's so rapid that you get significant results even just in the first week of doing it.
But in terms of lucid dreams, those are naturally quite easy to recall. You remember them as if they were an event that happened while you were awake in your normal life, because you're essentially "awake" for it in the first place (which makes it a lucid dream). So, if you heard a bunch of great music compositions in a lucid dream, you'd only be limited by the same working memory that you have when you hear a lot of music compositions in real life.
And the cool thing about both of these points is that dream journaling not only improves memory recall from standard dreams, but it also increases the potential for having lucid dreams. The idea is that when you write down everything that you can remember from your dreams as soon as you wake up every day, and you progressively get better at recalling more of their content, then you start to notice patterns, and thus you're more likely to identify those patterns while dreaming, which can give you an opportunity to recognize that you're dreaming and become lucid.

In my opinion everyone should get into lucid dreaming
@Foster chance lucid dreaming and sleep paralysis are 100% safe and are nothing like that. Sleep paralysis doesn't involve demons it's just hallucinations and not everyone who has sleep paralysis gets them. Your body paralysis itself everytime you dream to prevent you from sleepwalking. I have plenty of experience with sleep paralysis and it's nothing like you've been told. It use to be scary until I researched it at a young age, now when it happens it's not a big deal
i would dream study in high school after absorbing the study materials. it’s kind of like dreaming about tetris after playing it. i think that helped me a lot as a student.
Anyone here who dreams like me....very vividly...has anyone ever seen a mirror?? Have u stood in front of it and saw ur self??? I often visit the same place and people while I dream , sometimes unknown people..but I feel strong connection with them... so strong that when I wake up I almost feel bad that I left them nd may not be able to see them again...
Once I perceived that the autistic children I saw appeared to be sleep walking, it occurred to me that they were living life as if in a dream. I am writing this to reach the researchers doing this work because I think it may relate to treating autistic children. Because I related this 'dreaming' concept, the professional I talked to about it, encouraged me by saying autistic children have sleep issues, so she spread the sleep aid idea around, because in fact they don't sleep well at all. Now, they are given Melatonin regularly according to my friend. Please consider broadening your research to find if the only problem these children have is that their sleep mechanism needs adjustment, possibly chemical. We need to wake them up, that's all. Please pass this onto the appropriate target.
Is there any information about this possibility? I’d like to read more about it if there is.
Were any of the tester's given a narcotic to help them sleep? I ask because I have had many MRI's and there is no way I could sleep in the tube with all that noise. If a narcotic was used, would that alter the outcome?

*Cool video. I've been an avid lucid dreamer for almost 25 years after doing a paper on it for a college psychology class. It really is a skill that you can teach yourself with just a little effort (keeping a dream journal & doing frequent "reality checks" until they are incorporated into your habits are the most important things in my opinion.) In fact, after Years and years of lucid dreaming I feel like I dream in ALL stages of my sleep now, no matter how briefly have been asleep. Anyways, it was a REAL BUMMER to get all the way to the very end of the video and then realize that I wouldn't be able to click on the thumbs up button after all SINCE WE ARE, IN FACT, IN THE CENTER OF THE UNIVERSE, FLAT AND STATIONARY. Close, but no cigar!*

My dreams come true...well to you guys they would be nightmares. But they are the futures events to me.
What about when a person dream an everything they dream become true..
I've read about this article online. And I'm a lucid dreamer since last year. I can manipulate my dream to the point that I'm aware while I'm dreaming and I'm telling to the people in my dreams that " it is a dream" but i don't get respond bcoz it's just a dream. I can fly if i wan to. And when every time i talk to someone what I want to say. My head hurts after i wake up. Then before i woke up i found my self going back to my home then suddenly i was fully awAke. I badly want to share it to my friends but I'm scared that they will call me weird. That's why bed is my comfort zone.
>I badly want to share it to my friends but I'm scared that they will call me weird
It only sounds weird because most people are unfamiliar with lucid dreams and don't understand them. Have you tried to introduce your friends to the concept of lucid dreaming before? It may also help if you share some of the scientific research with them. Particularly, I'd reference them to Dr. Stephen LaBerge's initial study that proved lucid dreaming.
So, first, I'd just try to briefly explain to them what lucid dreaming is. "A lucid dream is when you become aware that you're dreaming." Then, you can point them to some sources, such as Laberge's study. His famous study that proved lucid dreaming involved getting participants to agree to a combination of eye movements when they became lucid. This is because the body's eye movements will correlate to the eye movements of a participant inside their dream. Normally, the eye movements are random. But LaBerge had his participants memorize a non-random sequence of eye movements. And then when they fell asleep, and became lucid, LaBerge recorded such combination of eye movements, which demonstrated that they were lucid and were communicating it to him while inside their dream.
Before that, most scientists didn't believe in lucid dreaming. But ever since then, lucid dreaming has been confirmed by a consensus in the field as a real phenomenon. And such studies have been peer-reviewed and expanded upon in the decades since.
The more you research lucid dreaming, the easier it becomes to introduce to people. When you can sufficiently explain it, then it becomes quite a fun and interesting topic to have in conversation with other people, especially friends. Good luck!
So I have a disorder that makes it so every night since I was 12 I've had lucid dreams. I feel It would of been fun to be apart of this study as my brain constantly is stuck in lucid dreams.
What disorder if i may ask? Because i also am a native lucid dreamer
Are you sure its a disorder? 20% of people are natural lucid dreamers

I already mastered the ability to lucid dream. Now if I could just master the ability to control my actions and words in dreams, then finally I can do things I've always wanted to do in 'em.🤦
The more you practice lucid dreaming, the more you can increase your skill to have more control in such lucid dreams. One is generally referred to as having mastered lucid dreaming when they've reached the ability to manipulate their lucid dreams to the extent of their imagination. As opposed to novices in lucid dreaming, who don't have much control over the environment yet (even if they're good at inducing lucid dreams themselves).
I've only lucid dreamt around a dozen times, and I never had much control. I would have had to continue practicing it in order to get better at manipulating such dreams. I think it usually takes people at least a couple or few dozen lucid dreams to start getting the hang of it, but it's been a while since I've kept up with it, so I can't say for sure.
I think I've also heard of people who've had plenty of lucid dreams but still can't control much within them. It seems as if there may be some sort of specific intuition that you may need to have in order to obtain such control, whereas some people just don't seem to get a knack for it (at least on their own). If so, I'm sure you can get tips from people who've previously struggled with a lack of control in lucid dreaming, but overcame it, and that may help you out.
Have you read Dr. Stephen LaBerge's book(s) on lucid dreaming? They're still on my reading list, but I assume that they probably contain plenty of information on this which may be helpful. If not, I'm sure there're other resources out there.
@@WhatIsNature Yeah, thing is I've been practicing lucid dreaming for 15+ years. After reading so many books and watching so many videos I'm reaching a point where I'm about to not care anymore whether I lucid dream or not. I can't control my actions or words (if I even talk at all). Most of the time I see myself in third-person. My dreams are seriously boring, as every time it's just me and maybe my friends hanging out somewhere in the city. I'm just reaching a realization of how boring dreaming is, and that really really sucks. Because I do not want to think that way, nor do I want to give up. I hear about so many people's crazy amazing magical dreams and here I am just always dreaming boring normal day-to-day life.🤦So I just don't know at this point whether or not I care anymore.
Amazin!

As they waste time and money in research that makes no sense, what they call a great discovery has long been made, in hypnosis people can reach a remnant state, have lucid dreams and be in communication with their hypnotist, I have sought funding in real research where anyone can enter hypnosis without any effort and reach rem states where they could change the programming of any person and thus be able to enjoy everything that surrounds us 100% and that everything we have make learning easier
Amazing achievement

Guys help! I need to contact someone who is involved in this experiment. Ive been doing this back in 2018, even emailed professors but none of them answered and I know how to make it work 100%.
Many scientific researchers are on Twitter and talk to people there. You'd have much more of a chance for connecting with them there than from a UA-cam comment.
Could these experiments work with people on drugs?
Or lucid dreaming could result in degraded performance. The wild free association of unmanipulated dreaming probably has more efficacy than we suspect. It certainly didn't develop over millions of years without being beneficial.

and then, there is me, who doesn't remember a single dream.
A lack of dream recall is pretty common. But you're essentially guaranteed to increase your dream recall if you practice dream journaling. Dream journaling is basically just writing down everything you remember from your dreams as soon as you wake up. Even if you can't remember much or anything at first, just the practice of attempting this will eventually start to improve recall enough to get started. There's an endless stream of anecdotes of people who could never remember any of their dreams until they started a dream journal.
One tip, if you dream journal, is to seriously try and write down your dream IMMEDIATELY upon waking. This goes so far to mean that you shouldn't even start THINKING about ANYTHING other than your dream as soon as you wake up. E.g., don't think about where you are, what you have to do that day, or anything. It also means to move as little as possible. E.g., don't take a sip of water first before writing down your dream, don't sit up and stretch, etc. Just write as an instinct upon waking up in order to have the best chance at recalling your dream.
This is because memory from dreams is slippery. If you don't purely focus on their memory upon waking, then the memories will often be gone immediately and can rarely be recalled later on. The act of dream journaling can combat this, even if it takes a few days to finally catch something.
But something else to keep in mind is that we experience most of our dreams in REM, which typically takes around an hour and a half of good sleep to reach. And your first REM stage doesn't last long (e.g. 10 minutes), so you don't get many dreams out of the first cycle. So this is worth mentioning, because if you don't dream, and are unable to ever recall your dreams (even if you're persistently trying to work on a dream journal), it could be an indication that your body actually struggles to attain REM sleep. And sleep apnea and narcolepsy can be causes for that, which are sleep disorders that ought to be addressed if you find out that you have them. Though to be fair, narcolepsy, by its nature, is often obvious to identify--i.e., you'd probably know if you had it. But sleep apnea, on the otherhand, has much more of a chance at being unnoticed.
@@WhatIsNature I have never gotten such a thorough response to a comment like this. Thank you for your tips, just the question is, whether I need to recall my dreams. Apart from being just sad that I don't remember them I don't know if the recollection of them is necessary and I'm quite sure that the quality of my sleep is normal. Though I will try and start my journal:)
They went in and triggered my mom’s brain to switch off last st patricks day and they want you all dead too💀

So Derren Brown but with wires. Kinda a step backwards
So can they look inside my mind and see what I fantasize about but never tell anyone ?
Yes
estoy flipando de emoción xd
Just this morning, I was dreaming that I was having a football catch with an attractive young lady, waist-high in tropical waters. She was wearing a yellow bikini and I was wearing red swimming trunks. There was something on her mind and she was just about to communicate it to me. AND THEN THE ALARM RANG! WHAAAT!!! I have no luck in my dreams, lol.
NVDA is using these dream techniques with military weapon engineers 👨💻
Some food for thought: Do you think you are equally conscious in sleep? Do you think you have just as much mental agency in dreams?
These are some fascinating questions, and if we're careful about the distinction between "consciousness" and "awareness," then they can definitely be addressed. So I hope I'm not too redundant here, but I'm gonna spend a lot of effort trying to break down the semantics between them.
>Do you think you are equally conscious in sleep?
During a standard dream, the mind isn't conscious to external perceptions. However, we wouldn't be able to remember dreams if we weren't conscious during them. So the dreams themselves are conscious experiences--the brain, or mind, itself is indeed conscious while dreaming. It just isn't conscious to external stimuli. It's only conscious to internal cognition.
However, most of our sleep cycle isn't spent dreaming. So during most of our sleep, we are totally unconscious, and are not dreaming. Only when the dream begins (typically during the REM stage of each sleep cycle), do our brains become conscious.
>Do you think you have just as much mental agency in dreams?
This is, in my opinion, the much more interesting question. Because here, you're really just asking about "awareness." In standard dreams, although we're conscious, we are not aware. But if you become "aware," or have "mental agency" in a dream, then that's basically the definition of what a lucid dream is. Some people misinterpret the language here and define lucid dreams by saying "it is when you become *conscious* inside of your dream," but as I mentioned, you're already conscious for dreams, hence why you experience them and can remember them upon waking up. Lucid dreams are "when you become *aware* inside of your dream," and thus aware that you're dreaming, while you're still dreaming.
So, again, the difference between a standard dream and a lucid dream is awareness. In standard dreams, you aren't aware that you're dreaming, and while you're having a conscious experience, you're just along for the ride. You then wake up and may think, "that was crazy, how the heck did I not realize I was dreaming? It should have been obvious to me, but in my dream, I just went along with it as if it were normal!" You lack the awareness. I apologize, but I just want to make sure that I hammer down the semantics here.
This gets even more interesting if you extend this topic outside of dreams. Because we can even be conscious while awake, and yet not aware (or at least have very little awareness). During such states, we can make impulsive decisions that are automatic, and don't include much "mental agency"--even though we're conscious! This is actually one of the primary reasons for why meditation has so much productive value, as it can spur awareness. When people practice meditation, such as mindfulness, they are stepping outside of the automatic torrent of their thoughts and behavior, and they're engaging in more higher-order functioning, particularly through awareness. This can lead to more careful judgment and thus improved behavior.
If anyone is fascinated by these sorts of topics, then I highly implore everyone to spend some time learning about psychology and neuroscience. The brain isn't taught enough in school, and there are many fascinating, and more importantly, insightful things to learn among such fields. Many of such insights have important implications for how we understand reality and our lives. It's a subject that's certainly worthy of investing some time in. And if nothing else, try to practice meditation if you've never done so before, as it can create stark experiences of higher awareness (which is very healthy for our minds and even our productivity).
Lord have mercy. 😲😲😲😲😲😲😲
Yeah I think I know who you're talking about.. ;-)
So you mean to tell me that hypnotists and psychics were were shooting in the dark and every so often would hit the target?
