Are Dream Characters Conscious? Very Interesting

Post by Winston »

Interesting talk by Ross Phillips about why people in your dream don't like it if you tell them they are in a dream while you are lucid in a dream. This implies that the people you talk to in your dream are sentient entities? Very interesting. If we are god and the characters in our dream are us, then are we the god that is dreaming us? Sounds like solipsism? One time I met Rock in a lucid dream. Since I was lucid I told him that he was in my dream, but he denied and didn't believe me. lol

Wow check this out. These interesting experiments indicate that dream characters may be conscious! Very interesting and mind blowing! If this is true then do the dream characters die when you leave the dream?
Are dream characters conscious? Do they have a point of view and knowledge base of their own? In this video we will discuss a fascinating classic study by dream researcher Paul Tholey and the interesting results from it.

The study:
Tholey, Paul. 1989. Consciousness and abilities of dream characters observed during lucid dreaming. Perceptual and Motor Skills 68: 567-578.

If dream characters are real entities when you're dreaming, then what about when you dream of someone you know? Is it possible to enter the dreams of others?

I read something interesting about lucid dreaming. I don't know if it's true or not, but if you ask someone in your dream for the time, they will never be able to tell you it, because time does not exist in dreams.

Another thing I noticed about dreams, you will never experience physical sensations, like pain, pleasure, exhaustion etc. You will only ever experience mental sensations like fear or sadness or excitement etc.
