Thread: 360 degree vision!

Well waking life is one of my favorite films and i was just wondering if anyone has tried to create 360 degree vision like one of the characters in the film was talking about, if so please elaborate id love to hear about this!

that a great idea ive never thought about. it might be really hard and it will probably cause me to have an arial view type thing, know what i mean? worth trying though.

Ya i get what you mean man, have you seen waking life though? If not i would defiantly recommend watching it. Watching it blazed is even better!

I doubt that it would be possible, even in a lucid dream. A dream still uses the five senses, it just reroutes the input from the real world to the dreamscape. The sense of sight is still the same in a dream as it is in real life... not 360.
But don't let me discourage you, for it could very well be possible in a lucid dream

I read in a self-hypnosis book that everything is possible in lucid dreams. They give the example of 360° vision. The only limit is your imagination, so if you want 360° vision, you must be able to imagine it

Awesome film! It gave me my first LD so I find it my duty to atempt 360° vision.

You should see Slacker too, it gives a new twist to Waking Life (hell, see all of Linklater's films and while you're at it see The Science of Sleep, Mirrormask and Paprika )

Hey! I'm Back!
I believe 360 vision is possible. Maybe unimaginable in waking life, but while dreaming it may be easier. The problem is people will imagine it differently. So if one person comes up and says "yeah, I've done it" they may have imagined it as the aerial view type thing that Michael was saying. Whereas I would imagine it as having 4 or more sets of eyes around my head and seeing out of all of them simultaneously.

Good to be back,

This subject of 360 degree vision has been brought up so many times, there are tons of old threads that have gone over 360 degree vision.

There are certain crabs and bugs with 360 degree vision. Why not change into one of those and see what your brain comes up with for the 360 degree vision.

So has almost every other topic about LD'ing. Newbies don't know that it's been brought up and if they went to old threads people would be pissed because they bumped old threads.

Phalangees what are these crabs, never heard of em before....
Can they see back into their skull?
