You have to quit THC for at least two weeks until you start dreaming again.

I'm a regular user and I dream if I take a nap and haven't smoked

Imagine what you could dream about if you stopped THC.

Feels like time for someone to make a newer version?

I'm working with researchers in Germany to hopefully reproduce the findings with a new study feature in the Lucid Scribe app.

Installed! Do you have any data on success rates?

i want to do a data dump here. did you ever wonder how its possible that you can experience vivid, real-time non-scripted (so to speak) events that are totally lifelike? how is it possible to do that without sensory input generating the images and sounds? i thought about this a lot and there is only one answer that fits: the human mind generates a model of the world and everything in it, your experience of the world…

I think you'll enjoy Stevan Lehar and QRI's work, you've re-derived some of it already:

I frequently fall asleep with YouTube playing softly through airpods and end up intense lucid dreams with in-dream characters that my brain invents to embody the youtube voices. They talking about machining, string theory, and whatever else is going on in the video which is often strange when the plot of the dream doesn't actually match up with what they're saying (which is an easy trigger to make it lucid).

wow thank you so much for linking this. the journey to this conclusion began simply because i wanted to explain how my lucid dreams could be so realistic. i also came to a satisfying conclusion to the question of free will, many years ago. there are many things that inform how i see and operate in the world but these two tools most of all i cannot imagine living without. the one thing in my life that i still dont have any kind of satisfying answer for is pain. what is pain? do you know if someone cracked it?

That implies I want to dream
