What is the science behind lucid dreaming ?
Have you ever experienced a lucid dream ?
How to lucid dream ?
53 posts and 9 images submitted.
>>
I remember my dreams nearly every night, and most of those I'll know that I'm dreaming (aka lucid). Problem is it's so common for me that the knowledge is sort of background so I'm normally too lazy to try and go fully lucid. It's a trip when you do though.
>>
>>9076455

Lucid dreaming is not hard, the key is to recognise your own dreamscape. The easiest way to do this is to keep a dream journal, just have some paper and a pen by your bed and when you wake up write down everything you remember about your last dream, even if its just a feeling or a single image / sound. As you record more and more of your dreams like this, you will come to recognize features of them when you are dreaming, and thus be able to "wake up" inside your dream.

depends on the quality of studying too. If you study for 12 hours with loud distracting music and constantly being interrupted, it could have been worse than studying for just 2 hours of laser focus.
also someone will always do better than you. You'll always do better than someone else (or you shouldnt be in college). comparing yourself isnt really helpful

Memed.

Some anon pointed out that publishing science is all about prestige, how to get included in Nature, etc.

less than 0.5% experiments researchers conduct are repeats of previous experiments (because it's hard to get published if you just check someone's math).

So going by that logic, any attention is better than no attention.

That's where the troll comes in. A troll won the US presidency, and a troll """""invented""""" the EM drive.

And for whoever created this churchbell with a microwave soldered to it, it got them the attention they craved.

Suppose that I have a small, high efficiency solar panel inside my house connected to a lightbulb outside the house. The solar panel is powered by ambient light from the window and the interior lighting. I close a switch, allowing the solar panel to power the lightbulb outside the home.

In group therapy today, I tried explaining that mental illness can be more than just 'serotonin machine broke'. Individualization of these issues says nothing about their causation. If it is true, for instance, that depression is constituted by low serotonin levels, what still needs to be explained is why particular individuals have low levels of serotonin.
Everyone looked at me like I was speaking in tongues. I tried to explain to them that mental illness has been individuated to the person with the illness (YOUR chemicals are imbalanced), leaving no room for the fact that there may be bigger, problematic, social/political/economic issues at play here. >feeling sad

I love the idea that there are things that man was not meant to know, and unwise dabbling in forbidden knowledge could drive a person insane, or knowledge that is so alien or complicated it basically causes the brain to crash.

Do you think it's possible?

Has it ever occurred?

Broke one of these earlier today .. the thing was on when it broek and I was groggy having only been awake a few minutes.

I quickly unplugged it and put the lamp outside then set about picking up wht glass on the carpet with some dishwashing rubber gloves on and put them in a trash barrel in the kitchen.

I read the EPA guidlines for sfae clean up of these things and did two things you're advised against.

I turned on the central AC thinking the break was very close to the intake duct filter and could draw particulate from the locus and I vacuumed.. to be certain I got all the glass.

I did warp a T shirt around my face and nose while doing all this as I was aware there is Mercury in these bulbs.

Just wanted to ask how dangerous this really is.

In reading on-line I find the mercury filling obsessives talking about DMSA chelation; https://www.dmsachelation.com/

for as much as a year.. I took some NAC I had with selenium and a few Brazil nuts as I have heard Se inhibits Hg neurotoxicity.

On a scale of 1-Aaaahhh how freaked out should I be at this point?

Oh I also didn't open the sliding door I have in my condo for about five hours at it was fairly humid.

Se doesn't block Hg... you can't take anything to mitigate possible damage... best you can do is hope your inhalation of the heated vapor for the few seconds before unplugging the bulb was very low and the bulb had been used for a long enough time to have transformed the mercury somewhat making it less toxic... if the bulb wasn't brand new in other words the HG may be less harmful.. also being a newer than 3008 manufacture will have a smaller mercury content..
>>
There's less mercury in one of those bulbs than in the average portion of fish you eat.

The concerns are the bulk build up in the environment, breaking a bulb even every day literally poses no risk to your health.
