Science Vs
Lucid Dreaming: The Bonkers World Inside Our Minds

Science Vs
Lucid Dreaming: The Bonkers World Inside Our Minds

Reality testing didn't seem to really make that much of a difference.

Science Vs
Lucid Dreaming: The Bonkers World Inside Our Minds

Oh, it was very surprising because.

Science Vs
Lucid Dreaming: The Bonkers World Inside Our Minds

thing like that and the more the better and it's not even like doing it a hundred times is better than 10 it just it didn't actually seem to matter that much and so it kind of goes against the grain of what most people will tell you

It's a very good rate.

Science Vs
Lucid Dreaming: The Bonkers World Inside Our Minds

But if I had to hazard a guess, I would say there probably are some people that are

Science Vs
Lucid Dreaming: The Bonkers World Inside Our Minds

Couldn't spend a lot of time on this and still not be able to lucid dream.

Science Vs
Lucid Dreaming: The Bonkers World Inside Our Minds

But I would say for most people, it's a learnable skill.

Science Vs
Lucid Dreaming: The Bonkers World Inside Our Minds

The state of the brain is firing in when you're in a lucid dream.

Lucid Dreaming: The Bonkers World Inside Our Minds

It's like a tightrope walk between normal waking consciousness and normal non-lucid dreaming.
