Thread: Activating the left brain hemisphere to attain lucidity

While this is a nice idea I'm afraid I highly doubt the validity of 'activation' of the left hemisphere during dreams to become lucid. The left hemisphere is already very much active during non-lucid dreams, the left hemisphere deals with more logical aspects of the dream, like taking care of linguistic aspects, such as dialogue with dream characters.

Also I'm dubious that attempts at stimulating the amygdala could do anything for lucid dreaming, as it's actually the 'fear centre' of the brain located in the deeper, more primitive mammalian brain, quite far away from the frontal cortex which is responsible for the higher functions of reasoning such as self-awareness that plays a role in lucid dreaming.
