Ok so imagine you're having a regular dream and within this whatever universe you've built up some rationalizations about whatever abilities or resources you may have at hand. like say the ability to fly, jump far, telekineses. This could be an action dream. So you're dreaming passivly with no luicidity and ZERO effort, yet you could easily be fighting off zombies and aliens and blowing shit up just by instinct.

The reason is because your mind believes the dreams delusion. You believe you have the power, and your actions prove it to you, this could be a big reason why lucidity can be hard to attain. Dreams are so believable, because our bodies respond how we want them too, save for nightmares I guess.

and what I'm really getting at is that because of just ignorance, your dream self could pull off any wild stunt without effort. So why is dream control such a challenge? It seems to me that belief is really the only factor in controlling a dream, and I can vouch for HAVING belief, and at the last second, within that lucid dream my one ray of doubt cut me off and I couldn't fly to the moon.

k that's it I guess
