Hyperdreaming
« on: 27/05/2017 13:37:37 »
Do you believe in such thing as hyperdreaming?

Is a lucid dream a form of hyperdreaming?

What happens with the brain when the mind is "wandering"?

I have only had two lucid dreams. Neither was planned. I guess I just realized that I was dreaming and was able to exert some degree of control over the dream (controlling both my own actions and my surroundings.)

I have never heard of hyper dreaming.

Just to save others from the potential awkwardness.
The results you get from googling "hyperdreaming" are not safe for work (or school- or anywhere else much).

Thanks for sharing.  :)

My personal description of hyperdreaming is based roughly on the control of dreams by the user:

1. Hyperdreaming may be experienced while conscious.
2. It is simply wrong to assume dreaming is not controllable by the user while being conscious.
3. Hyperdreaming may be thought as a non-psychotic experience of lucidity.
4. Antipsychotic medication may alter the way you interact with your dreams.
5. Can someone experience altered states of consciousness when dreaming? 

Also, perhaps Google is silent on hyperdreaming simply because this phenomenon is highly controversial, new, and subjective?

A possible explanation is that psychosis enhances the experience of internal reality in detriment of external reality, and therefore lucid dreamers with psychotic symptoms would be more able to control their internal reality than non-psychotic lucid dreamers.

I find it hard to believe that any human condition is all that new.

Fair enough. If hyperdreaming is not brand new, it is unequivocally not well understood...

Lucid dreaming therapy (LDT) is a form of hyperdreaming: The lucid control of dreams may allow
neuroholographic visualizations of our consciousness.
