A "Showerthought" is a simple term used to describe the thoughts that pop into your head while you're doing everyday things like taking a shower, driving, or just daydreaming. A showerthought should offer a unique perspective on an ordinary part of life.

Rules

  1. All posts must be showerthoughts
  2. The entire showerthought must be in the title
  3. Avoid politics
    • 3.1) NEW RULE as of 5 Nov 2024, trying it out
    • 3.2) Political posts often end up being circle jerks (not offering unique perspective) or enflaming (too much work for mods).
    • 3.3) Try c/politicaldiscussion, volunteer as a mod here, or start your own community.
  4. Posts must be original/unique
  5. Adhere to Lemmy's Code of Conduct

Lucid dreaming is like being Neo in The Matrix (dubvee.org)

I've tried and failed to train myself to do it, but I've only lucid dreamed twice in my life, both times by accident.

It's like the ultimate VR sandbox where you can go, do, or create anything you can imagine.

Better watch out then. You might end up going through several boss fights, some of which seem to go on forever. In the end, you also sacrifice yourself, so there’s no way for you to win.

I think it's different for everyone. I remember as a kid, I had the same scary dream so many times that I would know I was dreaming when it was happening.

It was always about me being chased by some guy and I couldn't run properly so he would catch up with me and stab me in the back. And I remember it hurting enough that I wanted to avoid it.

So one time I just refused to run, turned around and faced the guy. I don't remember if anything happened but I remember I never had that dream ever again.

Face your fears. True story.
