You know, in, like, Hollywood movies, when they show dream sequences and they put on the dry ice to smoke, and they got a soft focus and they're like, wow, man, he's dreaming. That is not how lucid dreaming looks or feels. If you wanted to show how a lucid dream looks, you'd go from normal definition camera work to boom, full 4K HD. Because once you're lucid, it is realer than real. Lucid dreaming is an experience of hyper reality, and that is not hyperbole. People often say, in the lucid dream, wow, I could see every tiny blade of grass in that dream. I could smell everything as I walk through that garden. I could taste everything when I bit into the apple. Why? Because you're not seeing through your eyes in a lucid dream. You're seeing through your mind. It is an experience of hyper reality.
