Thread: Can Lucid dreaming really change your personality?

Okay, but say if it's not a huge pressure situation, just a conversation, could you act in a different way than you would in real life that would still feel realistic? And I'm suggesting that you are lucid in this situation. By the way I'm not trying to argue, and thanks for answering my questions.

Mmm, possibly. But social situations simulated in a dream are quite unrealistic. DCs can be really emotional or respond in unnatural ways. Unrealistic conversation would influence how you feel and respond.

In a real conversation, you might feel nervous talking to someone or you might have trouble breaking the ice. In my dreams for one, DCs start conversations, are really easy to talk to, and are always emotionally one sided. Its just too unrealistic for practical use I find.

Also I find the affect of most dream content wares off after I wake up. Like if I remember that oh so common dream where I found myself naked, in the dream it was a big embarrassing panic but in reality when you realize it never happened, it is a clean slate mentally.

Okay, that's understandable. Thanks!
