I’ve tried and failed to train myself to do it, but I’ve only lucid dreamed twice in my life, both times by accident.

It’s like the ultimate VR sandbox where you can go, do, or create anything you can imagine.

As a kid I used to lucid dream a lot. I would purposely imagine myself in a world or scenario that I wanted to dream of and when I fell asleep while having those thoughts I would lucid dream. It was fairly easy for me, but for some reason I can’t anymore. I rarely even remember my normal dreams.

A “Showerthought” is a simple term used to describe the thoughts that pop into your head while you’re doing everyday things like taking a shower, driving, or just daydreaming. A showerthought should offer a unique perspective on an ordinary part of life.

  2. The entire showerthought must be in the title
  3. Avoid politics
    • 3.1) NEW RULE as of 5 Nov 2024, trying it out

  4. Posts must be original/unique
  5. Adhere to Lemmy’s Code of Conduct
