I love lucid
Nov. 13th, 2009 12:55 pmA Dream Interpretation: Tuneups for the Brain
As someone who has made sporadic attempts at lucid dreaming, I find the idea of dreams as a 'warmup cycle' for the brain prior to waking to be interesting. Does this mean that if I successfully enter a lucid state and direct my own dream, I am essentially finding a use for an otherwise idling engine?
(Incidentally, I am not a big fan of dream interpretation. Not only because so much of it seems arbitrary and reductionist, it robs the dream of its essential mystery and appeal.)
