RE: The future of brain-computer-interface technology could help you lucid dream
Lucid dreams are so inspirational! Dreaming is the most creative mental state, and lucidity not only makes creativity more accessible, but also enhances it, too. I see you are an artist yourself. Do you ever draw from your lucid dreams or regular dreams to help you with your work?
I am not sure but I believe so. Although I have not been able to dream lucid yet. So that would be regular dreams if so.
The reason why I think I probably do is because I never had no idea what to make. I think my head goes into some sort of meditation, flow, dreamstate when I create. Although sometimes when I try to take control and worry if it will be good enough I become to tense. I also have noticed (like many artists with me) that inspiration likes to come when we need to sleep.
I do dream the future now and then so I can not believe a dream is just random firing of neurons.
Sleep deprivation can easily bring on more creativity too. You should definitely look into lucid dreaming if you are ever looking for other avenues of inspiration. Once in a lucid dream, I decided to look at a piece of art I was working on in waking life to see what the end result could look like. I expected it to look the same in the dream, but it was so much more beautiful than I ever could have imagined in waking life. The final piece never ended up looking exactly like the one from the dream (I'm not that talented!) but I integrated parts of the art from the lucid dream into the real one. That will always be one of my more memorable lucid dreams.
That sounds wonderful! I see how that can be very beneficial. Thank you for giving the idea why I should go explore.
Glad to hear! I hope you will share some experiences on steem with us if you have some lucid luck.
