Woah, I tried some tips i pulled off lucidity.com's FAQ, and i just had one hell of a nightmare. i woke up in a cold sweat, is this supposed to happen or am i just lucky?!
Youre lucky cos you had a terrible nightmare? LMAO
I personally think the worst thing that can happen (although youd probably call it lucky) is sleep paralysis where you are apparently awake but cannot move and hear ringing/rushing sounds and a pressure on your chest along with an apparent breathing difficulty,it is horrible.
Ive also had the ringing and strange noises in lucidity,i think its where your body is just completely asleep but your brain is almost fully active.
When you are drifting off to sleep sometimes you get into a normal dreaming point then apparently slip over,or just generally fall and you really jerk out of your sleep and i think thats where the brain and body is out of synch,you only get that when falling asleep though.
REM sleep automatically paralyses the body to stop you acting out your dreams,sleep walking and night terrors do not occur in REM but in a theta/delta deeper sleep.
In lucid dreaming,its REM sleep but your central nervous system is more active instead of being switched off,also theres some neurons in your brainstem related to intelligence and informational process,essentially when you are in non-lucid sleep you are brain damaged,its like being stupid with an IQ of 40,so you blindly accept bizarre things as normal,all your intelligence is gone.
Somehow going lucid switches the crital parts of your brain,nervous system and brain stem on while keeping you paralised.
If they knew why that happens id imagine they find a way to reproduce it through machinary or drugs,id imagine the inventor of that drug will (assuming its not dangerous) recieve large wads of cash in short time.
