Tactile feedback in lucid dreams
Been having some emotional days lately and my sleep has been erratic. But the past two days, my meds worked and I hit the bed early around 9 PM. With some impromptu wake back to bed I had some prolonged lucid dreams for the past two days.
It actually surprises me how my brain is able to sense the in-dream tactile surfaces when I’m in REM atonia. I’d sensed this before a lot, but just started paying more attention to it. A cold tile, the bare foot walk in the asphalt, the texture of a wall.
Read about this a bit and now it makes me wonder! This tactile vividness is possible because I (my brain) already know how a cold tile or the asphalt or the wall feels like. I’m now curious how the brain would act if I encountered a surface that’s completely new to it.
Guess I have to wait!
