The consciousness of lucid dreaming is a cultural evolution. It's something that we are talking about and learning about, not biological evolution.

If you dream you do something, it's as if you actually are doing it from your brain's point of view.

Dream research is a wonderful field. All you do is sleep for a living.

There is only one essential difference between consciousness and dreaming, and that is sensory input. Your experience is a dream, so is my experience. This stuff about how the frontal cortext is repressed during dreaming. Lucid dreaming presents an obvious contradiction to it. The only difference is sensory input.

Dreams look real, but they're in your mind, so you realize that the physical world is also a construction, which shows that the mind can affect reality in more ways than you can imagine.

Our brain simulates reality. So, our everyday experiences are a form of dreaming, which is to say, they are mental models, simulations, not the things they appear to be.

Some people have vivid imagination, some not so vivid, but everybody has vivid dreams.
