In regards to Windt and Metzinger's paper on the self model in dreams they state that it almost impossible to have an "a-lucid and c-lucid" dream. Well I can prove them wrong. I had a lucid dream where I decided why not meditate. As I meditated my self model dissolved and I became various people from all over the world. I embodied all sorts of people engaged in menial tasks like washing the dishes or talking to a relative. It was a brief glimpse into enlightenment.
ReplyDeleteIn regards to Windts and Metzinger's paper on self model in dreams they state that it is almost impossible to have an a and c-lucid dream at once. I have had this experience where I became aware that I was dreaming and decided to sit down and meditate. In an instant I became various people from all over the world performing menial tasks such as washing the dishes or talking to someone on the phone. It was an enlightening omniscient experience. The self model had dissolved and the "I" had become the interconnected many.
